You’re giving me flashbacks to my old gig

For a while there, there was a fork of GIMP that simply changed the name to Glimpse. That was the only one I felt comfortable mentioning in professional contexts.

Jews, Christians and Muslims all pray to the same god.

The rich ones don’t see us as humans and the poor ones like the idea of people they don’t like suffering even if they have to suffer, too.

There’s your rationale.

“File types” like avi, mp4, etc are container formats. Codecs encode video streams that can be held in different container formats. Some container formats can only hold video streams encoded with specific codecs.

They signed up to brutalize brown people, not build houses.

What a bunch of fucking ghouls.

From the replies:

Thanks for this, really valuable work!

I’m curious what the qualitative description of child marriage usually looks like in these cases- I have two very rough mental images:

A 14 year-old girl learning very little at school/ barely attends school. She’s very unlikely to continue studying past the age of 16. Her (very low-income) parents struggle to continue supporting her and would rather she married earlier to reduce their burden and make a bit of bridewealth money (maybe to concentrate resources on another child). She gets married, her husband takes on responsibility for her (he might be more responsible/ caring than her parents), and her life outcomes don’t change much from if she were to get married at 17.

A 14 year-old girl is learning quite a lot at school. She dreams of going to college/ sixth-form/ university and could even afford to if she got a part-time job, but family/ cultural pressure leads her to get married early. She has a child at 15, is forced to stay in her village, and all of her plans go to waste.

Could it be that people like to imagine something more like the second scenario when the first is more common?

These people are completely fine with child marriage/rape if the kids didn’t do well in school like they did. Their ability to empathize completely breaks down the second it meets their contempt for non-nerds.

These are the psychopaths who think they’re effective altruists.

Cults love their neologisms.
