  If you’re that anti-social why bother with friends at all?

  Seems like just you don’t know what you want.

  nuh uhhhh!!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gravity⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gravity is the net effect of all electromagnetic forces and quantum fluctuations causing the smallest bits of information at the smallest scales to drift together over “time” due to black hole natural selection aka cosmic natural selection.

  It is the universe using math to reproduce.

  Thanks stranger.

  I think a lot about daily life and the systems we’ve built and the way people treat each other and think about existence, and how we’ve changed and over time… or haven’t.

  We’re advancing faster than we’re evolving.

  I think that’s causing problems :/

  The environment we created for ourselves takes advantage of our evolution and uses our biology against us.

  Food is drowned in sugar to get us addicted. Social media is designed to keep us angry and upset. Entertainment is a recycled polished turd, designed to take no risks and challenge nothing and leave us with shallow amusement.

  We are losing our empathy for the other and our curiosity for the unknown.

  We have made a world of numbing poison for ourselves. A 29 day separation sounds like the most powerful “therapy” we could have tbh.

  User try to have empathy for other people online challenge (impossible)

  With everything happening in my country (America) I have not really been able to enjoy any media for months.

  Especially recently.

  I learned that ICE is now deporting foster children.

  They’re targeting children.

  They’re setting out to take children away from their parents.

  It’s kinda hard to give a shit about video games or tv shows while knowing that.

  Do not send pictures of your body to strangers.

  Unless you want to give strangers leverage to social engineer or blackmail you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Oysters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree.

  I guess there is some contextual utility since parents do “assign” gender roles to their children based on their sex, but the doctor has nothing to do with that, so I agree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Oysters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That depends who you ask.

  “Transsexual” is an antiquated term that’s considered exclusionary by some and thus bigoted in a sense, as it implies that one must experience body dysphoria and seek medical treatment to change their body’s sex traits in order to feel more comfortable with them.

  “Transgender” simply refers to someone who identifies as a different gender than the one they were assigned at birth.

  “Non-binary” people identify as something other than the two “genders” that are typically assigned at birth, so technically they fall under that same umbrella of transgender.

  But also… we consider sex and gender to be different technically speaking. Sex is considered to be a biological thing, and gender is more of a social/cultural thing typically based on sex.

  … Which would mean doctors don’t really identify (or “assign”) genders at birth, they assign sex, which kind of contradicts the notion of transgender people, aka someone who identifies as a different gender than their “assignment” at birth.

  I personally think transgender is too broad a term and causes a lot of confusion, and that we’d be better served by once again referring to people as either transsexuals, or gender queer/non-binary.

  It’s complicated. Some non-binary people do have body dysphoria and do seek medical care to change their body’s sex traits, while not identifying as either a man or a woman.

  Unfortunately in LGBT+ spaces, it’s often seen as social suicide to make these distinctions, as when you make distinctions you necessarily make divisions and thus exclusions, which feels bad if you or someone you love is the one being excluded.

  Other trans people would probably call me “Tru-scum” for thinking this, because in their minds what I’m saying is equivalent to saying “there’s transsexuals, and there’s people who play with make-up and clothes and expect other people to refer to them differently”…

  Except I’m not saying that, and I don’t think gender queer or non-binary people are “playing”, or are less valid in any way.

  I just see the ways that people are similar, and different, and I refuse to blind myself or bite my tongue about it.

  She should have been born in a comic book instead of real life.

  Classic mistake.
