The harm reduction model. If you believe there is a harm and you can’t stop outright, then you work to reduce risk risk. The problem is that moral absolutists would rather an all or nothing approach
It feels a bit like the sex ed problem. The students are gonna do the thing. Some people might wish they wouldn’t. Reasonable people (excluding the loud minority of extremists) can argue the disagree impact on health. But they _will_ do it, so how do we educate so that they don’t get hurt?

The concert had been a tradition for more than twenty years.
Musician Chuck Redd cancelled it when Trump illegally added his name to the historic building.
This is how you resist.
This is showing courage in the face of tyranny.
Thank you Mr Redd.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, has a machine gun now. Ho! Ho! Ho!
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, eventually became a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Dawn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth!

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, saw that the sky above the port was the color of television tuned to a dead channel.
And to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, saw things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. He watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

So once upon a time, I got savaged on Twitter for saying that all a man in the games industry had to do to end a woman’s employment at the same company was sexually harass her. As soon as it happened, the timer began counting down. (Thread)
