    Good lord the discourse here is about as well as the man or bear discussions.

    Something I notice is how everytime someone makes these kinds of criticisms, the counterarguments turn into a pit of semantics and extropolations. As if the original post was a massive research thesis rather than just women venting frustration over the entitlement and danger they’re subjected to daily.

    You gotta look past the specific wording to see the overarching societal themes, emotions, and issues. It’s like those magic eye pictures.



  • God I want someone this competent in office so badly. I’m tired of bad politicians conning the system and “good” politicians just running things on autopilot. I want a leader that understands their government so badly.

    This echoes what I’ve been feeling about Kamala’s campaign too. I feel she’ll be great at the job of presidency, but may have to rely on Walz to grease the wheels of congress to actually pass things.



  • A father-daughter dynamic means he had full control over her formative years and had full ability to groom her.

    I highly doubt he was a normal parent for 18 years then suddenly acted creepy and she was just ok with it.

    Without speaking to her as a person, it’s certain that if something’s happening it’s the result of grooming, therefore making her an SA victim.

    We can recognize that as the tragedy it is and still think she’s a bad person for other reasons, these aren’t mutually exclusive.


  • This is the Overton Window, the window of acceptable topics for public discourse, and it’s unrelated to testosterone (I know, surprising /s).

    A misaligned Overton Window (like a slow response to an impending disaster) is hard to counteract because the experts dealing with the topic may lose their credibility by trying to push against the window.

    But I have heard the theory that the evolutionary reason for autism may be to counteract this effect. A small amount of genuine vocal concern could encourage others to speak out and break the tension surrounding the topic.

    This vocal concern is not however gonna come from the evershifting lies of the X and 4chan echo chambers.


  • Everyday I would wake up with severely sore arms, like they were clenched somehow.

    Blood test said Vitamin D deficiency, but the supplements didn’t do anything noticeable. But I was on the border of anemia so they told me to try iron supplements too.

    Gone overnight. I’m so used to problems being an exhausting road to recovery that this one took me by surprise.

    Honestly physicists don’t actually know what measuring is either. We don’t know when exactly the system is considered “measured” in the chain of entanglement, this is called the Measurement Problem.

    Answers range from “shut up don’t think about it” to “there’s an infinite amount of universes split from each other for each quantum event!”.

    I get the logic was sound at the time but the logic seems to assume that this is all a game with predefined rules and strategy.

    Like yeah, incumbents typically won before, but would that hold up when everyone had an audible groan about voting for Biden?

    I feel like most of political strategy could be replaced by just trying to understand the people voting, rather than bundling up correlations into strategy and blindly following them.

    Like I feel like if you talked to most random average people, they’d have told you about the oppressive hopelessness they’re feeling. Maybe they don’t know why they feel that, but the general mood from everyone is that nothing’s actively good is going to happens.

    So of course getting a new candidate with a hope themed campaign will reawaken our passion, incumbent be damned.
