If you can change one person's mind, or even suggest things to them that make them reconsider what they think, then you're a flipping genius.

At the moment, my number one explanation for why things are how they are, and why people are how they are, is that most people are dum-dums.

Gender messaging is everywhere. Libraries least of all. Just saying.
I've been indoctrinated in maleness all my life. Way before puberty, and ever since. Told who and what I am and what I must be.
Anyone who's LGBTQ after all that is a freakin hero.
Anybody who's worried over a book about two mommies is a freakin idiot.

@DZGrizzle NPR is weak, to not offend comfortable listeners.
An easy explanation for Christians not liking what Christ taught is that most people are dumb, and there are lots of reasons to join a church other than a desire to follow Christ, and there are also many reasons for Churches to want to keep the pews full.
So teaching folks to follow Christ might be a balancing act.
(Speaking as a former Christian.)

@stevefenton Jonathan Swift wrote about rich people's enjoy [edit: ENNUI] in much the same way as dopamine addiction here. The cure he offered was hard work.

If you are worried about the 2 babies that died on Oct 7th and not the hundreds (likely more) that have died in Gaza since, it suggests that you value some babies more than others.

They’re all babies. People killing babies are bad people. Hamas are bad people. IDF personnel killing babies are also bad people. Politicians on both sides deciding to have their footsoldiers kill babies are bad fucking people.

That part of this is not complex at all.

Anyone else following along with the latest Deluge community firmware improvements? Just found out the latest nightly firmware can load DX7 patches, which will be fun to play with!

    If college students really cared about war-related humanitarian disasters, we’d be seeing protests about Sudan, Syria, Yemen, etc. What we instead see is a hysterical hyper focus on the Jewish state and only the Jewish state. This is one sign of the antisemitic nature of these protests regardless of the message presented at them. These fucks could have protested the end of Roe v Wade but didn’t.

    @sickmatter That is an interesting thought.

    The problem with people being wrong is that it's hard to accept that you're wrong about something, so it's hard to show someone they are wrong.
    Posting "the people who do this are wrong" will probably not help them to see their error.
    But it feels good, and stupid folks are gonna do stupid things.
    So have at it!

    ...so I did the drum part with grunts and hand-claps...

    The bass part was the reason I needed a drummer. I can't keep up with the fast bits (should have played fewer notes I guess), but my clap track gave me sonething to hang on to for dear life.

    Do something different for the next 10 minutes, fight every dopamine urge to keep scrolling and click this link instead and discover some new music that might make your day/change your life!

    Why not! You might just discover something great, or you wont and you'll just go back to doom-scrolling, either way you wont get the time back, but you just might have a nice time!
