@salamandra_negra @rebane2001 This is the REAL question

@saltphoenix Oh just looked at your bio. "I live on a volcano; on purpose." That makes more sense now lol

@saltphoenix That is really amazing.

But also, um, "covered by lava"?!

@alexglow I like these because they look like nice earrings. Not just like an sd card on a hook. I saw em and thought “oh my wife would probably wear those”

@vkc oh no. I’m sorry.

Your voice matters here. You as a person matter. I’m sorry there are men (and others, but mostly men) making you feel unwelcome and harassed.

@Meyerweb This feels related

@futurebird well now I’m worried about both.

@TazPoltorak Thanks for the advice. We've considered a more expensive one. We think if she shows any real interest and sticks to it we'll upgrade her to something that will last.

Is #sewing fedi a thing? If so, I have a question.

My 10 year old is incredibly crafty, and loves making outfits for her toys. My wife and I think getting her a simple sewing machine would be a hit.

Are there any beginner-friendly machines we should look at? Say in the $50 range. We've found options but we don't really know how to judge if they're decent or not.

@inthehands I'm confused and feel like I'm missing something. But this feels like a category error.

No, we don't want slaves, real or virtual. But a machine cannot be enslaved, any more than a hammer can be. It's a tool, leave it alone and it does nothing. Tools are meant to be used.

Which is not to say that all tools are amoral, or should always be used. A machine to grind up puppies is a tool, sure, and also terrible and should not exist. But you did not force it to exist.

You don't want to treat people like tools, which is what slavery does - they're not people, they're machines, less than human.

You also don't want to treat machines as humans.

What am I missing? It feels this is like arguing over the taste of blue.

Edited to add: To be clear, I find this person's coworkers feelings to be terrible and seriously question the person's ethics and morality. So please don't take anything I'm saying as trying to excuse it. I just feel conclusions are being drawn that I don't see or understand
