Anyway I ran it through that NSFW model and it said it was SFW. So I turned down the confidence threshold, and now it says the left one is a penis, the right one is a pussy, and there's one (1) nipple over there.

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

But on issues such as respectability and morality, I think you should judge people by their deeper, more important actions. That doesn't mean how they dress, but how they treat others on a more meaningful level.
I will end with something I wrote five years ago about the messy nature of dress codes.

Let's move on with the rest of the passage.
Lewis recognizes that modesty raises thorny issues, but he sweeps them aside to focus on the more important spirit. I want to bring your attention to the last sentence here:

In a normal Department of Justice not run by hacks and sycophants and malicious clowns, Lindsey Halligan would resign and the indictment against James Comey would be dismissed.
Halligan should be disbarred. She altered a court document without showing the grand jury.

which in turn means that the community bought it.
In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.
