    My mom took a self-defense course when I was a teen and she was so excited about the training that I pretended like the throws and techniques were working when she asked to try them on me

    I felt like I couldn’t ruin her self confidence even though I could have destroyed her even at 14

    Until her trainer was sentenced to 7 years for SA

    The only thing worse than not being prepared is a false sense of security

    And the only way to go even lower is giving that responsibility to children






  • All of this depends on the jurisdiction, but most western countries have some kind of defense for corporations making mistakes

    Usually it’s something like “if the offer is clearly a mistake, you don’t have to honor the sale”, but rental agreements are a bit of a grey area, since they are a contract between two individuals instead of a sale

    I’d say go for it, but be prepared to be sued

    One lecturer actually had notes on their slides for the differences between the latest version of the course book and the one before it, since the latest one wasn’t available for free anywhere but they wanted to use couple chapters from the new book (they scanned and distributed the relevant parts themself)

    I feel like most of the academia in the research side would be happy to see it collapse, but the current system is too deeply tied in the money for any quick change

    I worked in academia for almost a decade and never met a researcher who wouldn’t openly support sci-hub (well, some warned their students that it was illegal to type these spesific search terms and click on the wrong link downloading the pdf for free)
