Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Protesilaos aka "Prot" is a well-known member of the Emacs community, being the author of several popular packages. I unfortunately just learned about an anti-feminist rant he posted to his website 5 days ago (Sep 5). I don't want to link it, but it is easily found if you desire.

His philosophy just sucks, he's not as smart as he thinks he is, he's stuck arguing with himself over his own abstractions

In short, he equates feminism with individualism in order to "prove" that feminism and socialism don't mix (and he doesn't like socialism anyway)

shut the fuck up Prot

Pretty much as far as you can get via roads from Lake America without leaving Ontario.

Roads end a few km north of me and the only way to get around further north is via ice roads in winter or by flying in a float plane.

Kenora District is very big but has very few people. The population of Portland, Maine and a land area the size of California. Everything is lakes. In the "city" there are stores with more parking for boats than there are for cars.
