I think fornicating with an animal is no worse than voring it, and I know dozens of people who vore animals. Personally, I’m vegan, except for kangaroos and bees.

I agree, but I’ll also say it’s immoral if you have a conflict of interest. Such as if you paid a friend to run it over.
I view fucking an animal and voring an animal the same way: If it was going to die anyway, it’s okay. If you’re paying for it to die needlessly, you’re evil.

There’s a lot more to astronomy than just knowing what kind of thing a thing is. We don’t just look at dots in the sky and say “ooh, that’s a neutron star, that’s a brown dwarf, and that’s a planet”.

Classification doesn’t actually increase your understanding. It just feels like understanding to white cultural values. Learn a serious field of biology like biochem, neuroscience, endocrinology, paleontology… taxonomy doesn’t create knowledge, it only creates categories.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 days ago:
I think taxonomy is pseudoscience. Chickens are dinosaurs, humans are fish, there’s no such thing as trees, oranges are a hybrid, mules aren’t a species, and neanderthals are a species. It’s bunk.

If not bean then why bean shaped
So fun fact: the artist who made the bean and gets mad when you call it the bean, is also the guy who has exclusive rights to use vantablack for art. AND he stole the pink that was specifically and exclusively Not For Him.

I’m trans and I would sit down to avoid the dysphoria and inevitable dripping, but I had a magnum cock and would often suffer the witches’ kiss, which sucked. Fortunately, I’ve had surgery, and now I have no genitals, so sitting to pee is less gross now.

Certainly not any objective truth to language. Just subjective truths. It’s subjectively true that I think the shift in the word cult harms religious diversity. It’s subjectively true that I value diversity. It’s subjectively true that I think the Christian abuse of our language is bigoted and small-minded. It’s subjectively true that I think language should improve society, not make it worse.

Broke: “I’m a prescriptivist, and I think the best language is what I learned in school as a child"
Woke: “I’m a descriptivist, and I think anything goes, I’ll respect anything that I can understand"
Bespoke: “I’m a prescriptivist, and I think we should be engineering new language to shift our culture in alignment with our ethical values”When you’re looking at the validity of a linguistic shift, I don’t think it behooves us to uncritically accept whatever the current culture is. That’s centrism and it makes us weak to fascist manipulation of our language. Which is exactly what the Christians did to the word “cult”.
The Christians noticed that other religions are more likely to use the word “cult” than they are, because the word has a stronger history in paganism, and because these other religions didn’t have big connective organisations like the Vatican. So the Christians created a link between cults, Satanism, and religious abuse. And to be fair, there was a lot of religious abuse happening at the time. Still is. And most of it is Christian. But mainstream scientists could be fooled into thinking pagan religious abuse is somehow different from Christian religious abuse, and thus creating a field of study around so-called “cultic” abuse. And that legitimisation of the Satanic Panic, via epistemic vandalism of mainstream science, is why people think cult means abuse.
I’m a pagan, and lately I’ve been hanging out with some Christians and taking mental notes. They’ve got love bombing. They pressure members to give testimony about how Jesus helped them. They encourage people to give them money, so they can go set up missions in Africa. They use music and AI generated sermons to hype people up on endorphins so they become malleable. They induce seizure-like states as a form of religious experience. I see what the people in charge are doing to them. So no, I’m not going to buy any Satanic Panic propaganda that cults are uniquely pagan and inherently abusive. This shit is epidemic and systemic.
We need to fight back against these powerful and bigoted organisations changing our very means of communication to indoctrinate us.

To be fair, every christianity is a cult. And most religions are divided into various cults. Cults are the local unit of any religion. In ancient Greece, each city would have a cult dedicated to its patron god, and maybe a few cults to other deities if it’s a big city. These days, we’ve got the methodists, pentecostals, orthodox, baptists, lutherans… People always have and always will organise their religion into cults. Larger groups just have weaker cohesion than smaller groups, so people want to be in a smaller group of some kind.

Lions aren’t very smart. They can’t read, and their dialogues on epistemology suck. That low intelligence is probably why they haven’t developed a plan to escape meat dependency.
If you want everyone to think you’re the same intelligence as a lion, I think we’d be happy to oblige.

The murder apes should use their big brains to improve. Because the thing is, the murder apes used their big brains to get too good at killing, and now they’re gonna kill the ecosystems they need to live. If the murder apes can’t grow beyond murder, then they’re a worthless failed species that will cause its own extinction.
