It’s always lovely to be reminded that eugenics remains a popular idea so long as you don’t call it that.
- Comment on NO! I don't want to download your app and set up an account. Leave me alone 1 week ago:
Simply rename the file from “file.webp” to “file.png” and it’ll work fine. No need to convert anything.
- Comment on Man, I really got hit with a "All men are predators, it's in the studies". 2nd wave feminism is a scourge on feminism itself. 1 week ago:
In the US, of 100 rapes against girls and women reported to the police, 18 will be prosecuted.
Jeffery Epstein and his cohort abused hundreds of girls, and all anybody cares about is what powerful man might be embarrassed. Has anyone proposed or suggested anything to protect girls from rich perverts?
From the founding till 1951, raping your wife was legal in all 50 states. And that protection extended in several states beyond the federal change. Some states even made common-law husbands immune.
The Christian Bible considers rape to be a property crime. in conservative circles, girls as young as 12 are regularly married off to their rapist.
The leading cause of death for pregnant people in the US is homicide.
I think young women considering men to be a threat is pretty rational.
- Comment on Interesting 2 weeks ago:
The idea that our nervous system is the true “us” that pilots an inanimate and disposable body is the same dualism concept as a “soul”. Except it lacks the divinity of religion or the accuracy of biology; worst of both worlds. Science-fiction-scripture.

I wrote on a magnitude English better quality than 90% of the world.
- Comment on No need for blue tooth 4 weeks ago:
The biggest difference between transistor radios and BT hardware is that BT will never give you a prize for being the 9th caller.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 4 weeks ago:
I’m just starting “blasphemous” and “inscription”. I just completed “Axiom Verge”.

No recoil, but you might feel a little sting.

This is the first one of these I’ve upvoted.

Your search has still only turned up a forgery.
- Comment on Microsoft is is bed with Google now, in a worse, more OS-integrated way than Mozilla was. This timeline sucks. 1 month ago:
This isn’t cooperation, this is rivalry. The point is for you to use Edge instead of Chrome.
Just another skirmish in the war for what matters most: which tech-giant is the default choice.
- Comment on Brand awareness 1 month ago:
This is a real thing. They’ve got a website, a facebook, and a youtube.
- Comment on Orthodoxal jews occasionally make something right 1 month ago:
I love all the little ways observant Jews try to lawyer their way out of the inconvenience of their own religious observance.
For example, some elevators in NYC run continuously on Shabbat, stopping at every floor so nobody has to push any buttons.
I just love the contradiction of an all powerful, omniscient God that can be so easily tricked, delightful.
- Comment on Too many non-working holidays in America. 1 month ago:
Come for the racism, stay for the contempt of working people in general.

I swear baby, this is my first early access. This has never happened to me before.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 1 month ago:
Crush patriarchy. That’s the system that’s failed these men after all. It wasn’t progressive values that promised them women to dispose of. It wasn’t feminism that promised them easy success and automatic status.
It’s the promise of patriarchy that has “been stolen from us”. And it’s the restoration of patriarchy these men are clamoring for. Men want their privilege back and the Left can accommodate them for the low low price of jettisoning feminist values from the movement.
This is really the most Democrat bullshit ever. Left politics is getting more support than ever, but we’re going to get obsessed with pleasing the groups that hate and oppose us instead of championing the issues of those who support us.

I was tired of being a Darwinist. Now I follow the writings of Dickens; I’m a Dickhead.
- Comment on Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering 1 month ago:
If you think about it, almost all computer-technology is radio. Wifi, bluetooth, GPS, radar, and cellular are literally radio. Meanwhile everything else runs on transistor tech developed and refined… for radios.
Our modern economy couldn’t exist if people like Hertz and Maxwell didn’t get to toy with their useless hobbies. But we can’t rely on the curiosity of the leisure class anymore. Basic research is expensive, necessary, and a public good. I’m afraid that the Trump regime has already spoiled the secret sauce that makes America the technology leader of the world.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 1 month ago:
You conflate being Asian (a resident of a continent) with Slavic (a cultural group). So what is race? A coordinate, or a cuisine?
Race is so unreal that you can’t even keep the lore straight in your own head.
- Comment on Is empathy based on a financial bell curve? 1 month ago:
Spaces like 8cun and kiwifarms are very welcoming to regular type dudes with centrist politics and mainstream opinions. They’re not nasty, unreasonable, and deranged like us. They’ll never challenge a man who identifies as normal.
- Comment on Is empathy based on a financial bell curve? 1 month ago:
It’s really hard to hurt another person when you feel their pain.
Consider the sadist. How can you enjoy someone’s suffering if you can’t recognize it?
The most wicked people are advanced empaths.
- Comment on What would happen if the Earth was sucked into a black hole? 1 month ago:
We don’t know. Forces in and near black holes break physics. There is tons of speculation, but speculation is all there is.

- Comment on More like a bacterial infection imo 1 month ago:
A large contributor to Irish suffering were the British corn laws, a tariff that kept the price of barley, wheat, and oats artificially high. So when potato crops failed, the poor Irish couldn’t afford substitutes. Ironically, American maze was exempt from the corn laws, so much of that was imported to Ireland.
Tariffs: never any externalities or unintended consequences; you will certainly not regret imposing tariffs.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
What’s ironic is the same people warning of Sharia law and a Muslim takeover conspiracies are the same people actively clawing back women’s rights in the West TODAY!.
Stop pretending that bigotry and chauvinism are products of critical thought or rationality.
- Comment on "I Took Every American Airlines “Flight” That’s Actually a Bus" 1 month ago:
It’s insane to go through TSA for a bus. I can’t believe a person would do that on purpose.
- Comment on Should I apologize to this person? 1 month ago:
If someone cuts contact with you, it’s up to them to reestablish. You don’t need this person’s acknowledgement to deal with your regret.
- Comment on Well whenever you notice something like *that*, a wizard did it 1 month ago:
The motions which the planets now have,…could not spring from any natural cause alone, but were impressed by an intelligent Agent.
Non-credible scientist, notorious for spreading his “theories” about planetary motion.

it’s interesting that the guns were silent throughout the trailer.
