$9000 is a shitload of weird internet drugs that they can flip for 10x as much no problem while ~disrupting~ gray area drug laws, but that would only end in a hilariously dismal failure

Peter Meadows drops in the #hackerspaces channel (freenode) every so often to ask for guidance in using parliamentary procedure to hijack spaces, or splitting off a new space, etc

He's either an under socialized narcissist or a full spectrum spergior, either way he is often told to shut up and die by core personnel who are otherwise excessively thoughtful and friendly people.

quote:

The board of our 'space has recently received a notification from a Parole
Officer (PO) that a sex offender is interested in visiting and possibly
joining our organization. We asked for further clarification on the crime
and the response was as follows (some info redacted for privacy)

> In regards to the offense that he is on supervision for, it involved Mr.
> XXX (27 years old) inappropriately touching a 13 year old female neighbor.
> This occurred on several occasions in 2007 before he was arrested. He is
> required to register with the XX Sex Offender Registry Program for his
> entire lifetime.


Our organizational structure allows us to refuse admission to a new member
for any reason. This option has never been exercised before.

Based on the size of our organization, and local statistics (Sex
offender/unit population), it's likely that we have a few sex offenders in
our membership already - statistically at least.

So my question is - *have other 'spaces dealt with this situation in the
past? If yes, how? Or if does come up, how would you deal with it in the
future? *

I'm really happy for you and I. We're lucky, Matt. We aren't afflicted with
a mental illness that causes inappropriate sexual attraction to those who
are incapable of forming consent. That's fantastic for us, but I recognize
that some are not as lucky as I in that matter. Perhaps, Matt, the only
reason you haven't molested a child is because you're not mentally ill in
that particular way? None of us can know for certain how we would behave if
we were in someone else's shoes.

"[hackerspaces posted:

hackerspaces and depression"]
I'm looking for articles, videos, about how hackerspaces help depression.

quote:

what we've seen here, is that hackerspaces can help people with depression in that:
- they're among similar minded people, what can be NOT the case as an engineer/tech person working in the industry.
- the space is some sort of a social circle, in which interactions can go much further than just sharing tools/projects.
- people can work on meaningful and/or interesting projects, not only what you're told to work on to pay your bills.

quote:

However, this also makes [the hackerspace] a bit of a "magnet" for those who aren't accommidated by the dominant paradigm (homeless, mentally ill, malcontents).

mentally ill or seriously stressed members who aren't seeking treatment and don't have healthy coping mechanisms can be extremely toxic

someone in another thread posted a really well written piece from gq about men's rights people and the lead was a pic of a guy with a sign "stop demonizing male sexuality!" the caption stated that he wanted to lower the age of consent to 12

one of my favourite (failed) hackerspace ideas was this:

current it is funded at $1,560 of $130,000 and it has been in the works for two years

complete with its own subreddit:
