He might be providing safety tips, but the biggest safety issue is that they left the door open for him to get in.

People are afraid of being enslaved by something intelligent when we’re already enslaved by unintelligent systems. Capitalism, imperialism, culture, even evolution itself. These forces already control us, reducing our lives to mere mechanical functions. There isn’t a being in control of these systems, but they still devalue us as people. No artificial intelligence will ever dominate us like natural unintelligence.

Do I lose my sub license if I’ve never done either of these? 😰

People who would point guns at BLM protesters aren’t that bright. At least the pistol didn’t work because it wasn’t assembled correctly.

The real question is whether he was feeling envy or attraction?

This is AOT and a lot of the characters join as young teens, so you gotta worry about that boy being underage 🤢

So many of the AOT characters seem like kids tho, just ones who had to grow up fast.

Warren Buffett: “Poor people should just stop getting eaten by roaming cannibals like me if they want to live.”

I mean, he’s not wrong, but maybe we should stop the cannibals instead of accepting that they need to exist?

I wish I could have experienced being a girl going through school. Those years always felt so wasted and lonely. Maybe I’d still be lonely and insecure, but I can’t imagine it’d be as empty or hopeless if I didn’t have a constant sense of wrongness.

I never felt like dating because I hated the idea of making the first move. I always felt out of place with the guys and couldn’t easily understand them. Why couldn’t they just talk about their fucking feelings? Why did there always have to be layers of sarcasm and irony if we were talking in a group? So fucking strange how they saw women as mysterious when they were opaque themselves.

I fucking wish I got to date boys instead of trying to be one. I would probably have still struggled with girl attraction, but at least I understand them more easily as friends. I could enjoy dumb shit like carrying on conversations in the bathroom. When I wasn’t a part of it, I wondered what they talked about. Now that I’ve heard them and talked with my mom from separate stalls, I realize they didn’t talk about anything special. There’s no mystery, it’s just any other menial conversation about life, and yet, it doesn’t seem weird in the slightest to have it while on the toilet. When you gotta talk, you gotta talk.

I’m honestly amazed that I even pieced things together eventually. I had no idea that I would feel better as a girl because I didn’t get to do girly things. My parents are both somewhat nonconforming, so I didn’t think that gender could make such a difference in my life. I guess it still took 5 years, but given that I started from not having the faintest clue, I remain impressed.

It wouldn’t have been officially legal, but the state likely didn’t enforce the law.

Fucking capitalists! People were mad about Stellar Blade when shit like this actually happens 😤

He was less invested in those causes at that point than he was in progressive labor policies. As far as evolution and prohibition go, he had some understandable motivations. Alcohol causes terrible harm and he also worked to improve the conditions that drive people to addiction. Evolution was promoted by social darwinists to justify capitalist exploitation. He was less of a YEC by today’s standards, even if he was wrong.

He didn’t know how much prohibition would fail beforehand, and his opposition to evolution touches on an important assumption people make about nature. Most people assume that something being natural makes it good, but evolution shows how misguided that assumption is.

Evolution is a process fuelled by death, where no individual matters and we are only servants to a soulless machine. We only grow old and die to help evolution work faster. Most suffering serves our genes rather than us as people. Capitalism sucks because of the ways it resembles evolution, turning every element of our existence into a mechanical processes. Evolution dangles happiness in front of us to get us to serve it.

WJB just couldn’t accept that nature is so cruel, that we’re machines produced by a process that only advances through death. Most religious people still need to square this reality with their understanding of a creator deity worthy of worship. I respect the concept of God more as our creation of than as our creator. If it were to represent our common personhood instead of our evolved species, it would actually be worth serving.
