    Mint is fairly secure by default.

    That said, nothing listed in the article is bad for your security, all pieces of advice do make sense in certain scenarios, but this is generally considered an overkill for home use.

    If you’re an average user, don’t bother yourself with it.

    Ordi might be wrong in their approach to the correction, but our communications are, indeed, littered with words that are meant to emphasize something, but are instead so commonplace that they don’t mean anything anymore.

    Fucking. Literally. Really. Actually. Insane. Unbelievable. Bizarre. Big. You name it.

    In an era of everyone constantly screaming on the Internet while sitting there on the couch with zero emotions, it would make sense to step down and revisit the way we approach the language - and our experiences when facing such content.

    The joke would absolutely be better off without the word “fucking”.

    When computers became mainstream and all sorts of media got into the open Web, many have seen this as the end of copyright history.

    But it wouldn’t be capitalism if it wouldn’t build sophisticated instruments and twist legislation in unprecedented ways only to protect publishers.

    I feel.like we generally give women a pass on A LOT of weird behaviors about children.

    That does include elevated attention to the genital area (seriously, why? Leave our genitals alone ffs), borderline fetishizing breastfeeding, and also a lot of other stuff.

    Like, for example, I had several women independently telling me how baby feces smell nice and milky. Like, what the hell and why do y’all feel it’s appropriate for a casual conversation???

    Or that they love to smell baby feet. Huh? Funny thing I first got those stories after seeing a TV ad (was a while ago) with a woman burying her face in baby feet.

    I can only assume this is either a result of hormonal shifts throughout pregnancy, or that there’s plenty more female pedophiles than we knew.


  • Of course, you’re technically very right - what they see is not vagina.

    But in the culture, the word often simply refers to female genitals as a whole.

    That doesn’t mean anyone using that word is not aware of the words “labia” and “vulva”, they can even differentiate between labia majora and labia minora etc.

    But for the sake of brevity and simplicity, people just say “vagina”, even if it’s not necessarily a technically correct term.
