@lexd0g it's bold to build a license around some corrupted Latin text about masochism.

Grace Vulpes Alopex

@megmac @lexd0g

the dialogues that lorem ipsem is based on aren't about masochism...

@cykonot @megmac @lexd0g

yes, one specific part of Cicero's dialogue mentions masochism, as he uses it as an example of how pleasure cannot be defined solely as being freedom from pain, but the dialogues are not about masochism

@pharmafemboy @megmac @lexd0g lorem ipsum is not a corruption of the whole text. But accurate, strictly speaking.

I'd say the "corrupted latin text" IS about masochism, and the other reply did not misspeak. The selection of text itself, not the work as a whole.

I had to look it up to clarify, either way.
