Hope all of you enjoy feeding the karma whore

Just because it’s simple doesn’t mean people accept it or act to change their behaviors on it
And every facet of life reflects this. The highest paid aren’t the most competent, but the ones with a carefully cultivated appearance of competence

Ok have you personally taken responsibility for the fact that your media consumption has made your worldview delusional? Nope? Ok then I am not making an assumption, I am stating human nature
- Comment on 3 days ago:
Hidden behind all the memeing is a sad truth of the world all of you refuse to face
Humans value the appearance of competence over actual competence. An actor in a lab coat is trusted more than an actual scientist because the actor has spent years of his life appearing to be what he is not, and the scientist is too busy practicing science to worry about appearances
It is why we have a racist reality tv show actor as president
And none of you will take responsibility for your part

Not delusional, she knows the truth but she’s also heavily invested in fossil fuels
So Deceptive fascist imbecile, not delusional

Pretty sure she’s from a minor noble line, no farmer blood in that bitch

If you have astigmatism or greatly different lens prescriptions per eye, it may be very hard for it to work.
If you do have astigmatism, you can kind of ‘squeeze’ or scrunch your eyelids down to compensate as you cross your eyes, and it may work better without glasses and closer up
Some people it just never works with

To be fair, the upsides were relegated to the ultra wealthy corpos, just as they are IRL
AND we’ve developed our own dystopian facets on top of that like antimaskers and incel mass murderers

As a kid I read all the William Gibson books and dreamed of a future of full sensory web immersion
Instead we got headphones that beam our interests directly to advertisers
Imagine getting malware in your brain, because that’s where we’re heading

The world would be so much better if they stopped being so concerned with what other consenting adults are doing in private.

You have just figured out 40% of GOP insanity right there.
“How does he get to be a pretty woman when I cant? Well I’ll show him!” (the misgendering was intentional and hypothetical to make a point, mods pls)

I think the more complete question is: Is sexual repression common among conservatives the root of their infantile lashing out against LGBTQ+?

Philosophers of that era spend a lot of time drunk.

Science is only one facet of life where definitions are important, and arguably not even the most daily impactful.
Also science is one of the few arenas with any real interest in a rigorous epistemic framework so that same concept of advancing definitions doesn’t work with social values, political situations, and most media where definitions are changed or co-opted for convenience and leverage rather than objective rhetorical value.
Pretending they do leads to things like ‘we will become more progressive over time as a society’ being accepted as truisms of human nature instead of the long-term efforts of hundreds of thousands of highly motivated and violently targeted individuals working to better the world for people they will never meet.
So yes, rigorous definitions in science is important, and thankfully we have developed many useful frameworks to ensure that no matter where in the world scientists share knowledge that it can be held to certain standards of rigor and objectivity
Literally no other facet of life has that same kind of special protection.
- Comment on Wake up babe new shape just dropped 3 weeks ago:
there is no definition that someone can’t fuck up, that’s the point of this exercise, not to find a perfect definition
But as usual 70% of you miss it

It wasn’t funny when Diogenes did it and it isn’t funny now but it keeps getting reposted anyway and we have to pretend it is

The children of indentured servants were eligible to be free citizens
Indentured servanthood had a clearly defined period of service
Freed indentured servants could petition to become full members of the household and inherit the master’s estate.
Being an indentured servant to a prestigious master was a social mark of standing, elevating them in some periods even above free citizens of low standing. Never the case in chattel slavery
Indentured servants and their families were owed damages when the violence was deemed unjust or resulted in permanent damage or death.
- Comment on Republican Senator callously says 'biblically, we are supposed to work' to millions set to lose health care 5 weeks ago:
Yes I agree it is immoral and detestable and was also the softest option for the day. No other contemporary culture had any protection for indentured servants, yet the Bible demands it at the threat of community judgment against the harsh and cruel masters. And the children of indentured servants were free citizens.
Compared to today it was still brutal and inumane, but was the MOST humane option for literally 3000 years. It’s just not progressive compared to today’s values.
And today’s values won’t seem very progressive to progressive humans in 3000 years either, something you are probably incapable of understanding.
- Comment on Republican Senator callously says 'biblically, we are supposed to work' to millions set to lose health care 5 weeks ago:
again history proves you wrong, how can you be so deliberately stubborn?
- Comment on Republican Senator callously says 'biblically, we are supposed to work' to millions set to lose health care 5 weeks ago:
If you take even a few minutes to check you’ll find that most governments older than 300 years were founded on a religious basis, and Rome was a pretty long running empire that was largely based on religion just as one example.
The modern drive for secularism is an outlier in human history, and according to the way the world looks now, secularism is on the way out.
I’m not saying I like the direction its going but there are pretty clear warnings that conservative evagelicalism is becoming as culturally foundational as a thing can be in the coming fascist regime.
You have this smug attitude that stems from your ideological values, and somehow feel saying things like ‘religion bad mmmkay’ is sufficient to turn the world away from the coming regressive religious dark age.
But it isn’t, and really just makes you look foolish.
Humans have a hole in their brains in the shape of rituals and shared language that we neglect because ‘religion just the opiate of the masses amirite?’ and now you are seeing the pendulum swing back.
