If you don't want old rapists running the world...

“This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but apparently it does:  If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us, get comfortable with 'ruining' young rapists’ lives.”  Jessica Price @delafina777.bsky.social

                      You're not the first.

                      lemmy.world English
                      “You're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.” —JD Salinger

                                  Crap. Obviously, I’m gonna gotta stop using archive.today, but it’s the only way around paywalls at numerous sites.

                                  Removepaywalls.com (plural) inserts ads, often for shady operations.

                                  Removepaywall.com (singular) usually works, but it’s tricky sharing the links (i.e., “choose option 2” or “choose option 4”).

                                  Byebyepaywall.com has old, dead options.

                                  Wayback Machine bombs out a lot.

                                  And ghostarchive.org is successful so rarely it’s really a last resort.

                                  Anyone know of any others?
