sure. but tribes didn’t often engage in systematic eliminations. genocide is something civilizations do

“tribalism” being the word we use to label when a civilization engages in pointless violence when it’s tribes that avoid this bullshit naturally by excluding the waste of time members of society who try to break society is so frustrating to me

it’s a multipart series. i was able to find the title but not a feed or a link. it’s titled The Butterfly Effect
- Comment on Pornhub says UK visitors down 77% since age checks came in 3 weeks ago:
i’ll have to find it, but there’s a fascinating journalistic podcast about how pornhub’s position as the tech giant of the porn industry happened effectively the same as every tech giant: not as a labor of love to advance something, but as a cold blooded disruption of a market to establish a new oligarchic overlord of a market sector. pornhub’s position as an invasive species in the sex work ecosystem has made sex work far less humane than it was before. moreover, sex workers, given their complete lack of societal protection given our legal criminalization of their profession, are more vulnerable to the whims of a modern robber baron

he’s a sports journalist! it’s Louis Lane the CIA would try to take down. Clark Kent keeps his journalistic ambitions low so no one pays too much mind. he then feeds scoops to Louis and Jimmy Olsen

i’ve seen more studies saying the answer is more free toilets that i’ve seen everyone is just lazy degenerates. in fact. i haven’t seen any studies that concluded everyone is just lazy degenerates. maybe i’m reading the wrong studies?

sure. it’s an assault on neurodivergent neurons, but did you ever consider we could make things worse for someone who’s already at rock bottom? what do you think we’re supposed to do? make narcan readily available and pay social workers enough to where more people are willing to go into the field and take on the mental anguish of trying to make society work? and sure! this course of action would be less expensive than maintaining the torment nexus, but you have to keep in mind, we tried building a different torment nexus that was aesthetically against the torment nexus and ever since building the torment nexus we’ve only been able to understand the world in binaries.

- Comment on Frankenbeans 2 months ago:
nothing to do with abortion i don’t think. just that if you intentionally bring life into the world, you have responsibilities to that life and to the future world that life will exist within. dr frankenstein does not think in these terms but the unnamed creature does because the unnamed creature is fascinated by the humanities whereas the dr is not.
ultimately i think Mary Shelly introducing the world to science fiction sets an extremely, almost radical, humanist/feminist tone for the genre that still resonates in science fiction today. if we find pro-choice themes in the story, i think those are themes we find on account of the humanist/feminist nature of being pro-choice, not any intentional technique on the author’s part. but the fact that we find progressivism from 1818 so resonant still today i find deeply meaningful. these are conversations we’ve been having throughout human history. i even think it’s significant she co-titled the book “The Modern Prometheus.” it ties her modern contemporary story to an ancient one and asks the reader to ponder if that old tale was also one dreamt up by a liberation seeker
- Comment on Frankenbeans 2 months ago:
i think the real argument is that what makes Frankenstein the monster is that he brings a life into this world but doesn’t provide it any guidance. he refuses to be a good father. the sea captain even finds himself quite charmed by how thoughtful, gentle, and caring the unnamed creature is despite his upbringing and decides the northwest passage isn’t worth him dooming his crew based on his philosophical discussion with the creature

she is, personally, with no consideration for her husband, extremely conservative. she’s one of those terrifying people from a soviet or post soviet state who views putin as the great protector from the evils of communism, ignoring he’s doing all the worst things about the soviet union without a single one of the upsides
