In the lore they say god is good and make it clear that the god exists within history itself. The unraveling of events is god executing El Plan. So anything that happens is god, and god is goodness itself, so everything must actually be good in the end.
And since the god explicitly gave the humans a mandate on their morality, they can’t just emulate the god literally. They have to act in their prescribed way, and trust in El Plan.
You forgot the funniest part from the movie: when the man was hacked into believing he had a wonderful life with a wife and daughter, when he was really just living in a tiny shitty apartment. Completely broke his mind lmao
I only eat things that have friends and enjoys music.
Imagine, you’re a foot head and you meet your soulmate, but they’re a croc
I haven’t read Vonnegut but I had a “college reading level” by 7 and when I went to GATE there were plenty of kids like me. Obviously kids will get older and things will have a richer context but they can definitely read and parse this stuff.
Finally, a real world use-case for AI. Understanding and filtering shitposts.
I think children should read about that. We’re talking 12 to 18 year olds, it wouldn’t have been in my preschool or elementary school, only middle school and up. I was younger than that when I was exposed to porn. We read about people being lynched and being killed in war and all kinds of things… where is this puritan energy coming from? It’s only sex, not super fucked up topics like rotten.com.
I read some / skipped through Gender Queer and didn’t find anything objectionable.
However, it’s a book about someone’s experiences being gender queer. For example, there’s a part where the person finds Tumblr / etc communities where people list pronouns, and the author talks about how it made them think differently.
There’s also a part where the person buys panties and gives the colorful ones to their friend Phoebe, then keeps the others for themselves.
A) Communities of like-minded people exist
B) Here are some ways I dealt with dysphoria (aka some ways you can deal with it.)
Two things much worse than nude art or talk about genitalia.
You don’t need to be a brainwashing savant to understand these books are dangerous to conservative thinking
Matt Gaetz would agree with you. 12 to 18 is not a child. Therefore books targeting adults ages 12 to 18 is not a children’s book. Checkmate liberals.
For sure, “ICC only arrests black and brown people” doesn’t mean they only arrest black and brown people.
When you look at ICC arrests and only see black and brown people you have to agree with France. Is Netanyahu a leader of an African country? Is he Muslim? Then the ICC isn’t going to get an arrest.
He was monkey pawed out of existence as he typed
Ignore Hamas. Read the infamous report from the US that was used by Israel as evidence they weren’t committing genocide. The report cleared Israel, and so it was used as a defense.
But actually read the report.
According to the US / Israel, they’re holding up food, making it difficult to access, making it get stuck in transit, making it get lost, making zero effort to facilitate / distribute, making it dangerous for people to solve it themselves, etc.
But they never triggered the video game-like definition of genocide. They didn’t use god-like powers to absolutely withhold food. They didn’t declare “I’m doing a genocide.” Technically some people could eat sometimes, and some pencil pusher can’t change definitions on the fly, therefore no genocide.
I thought it would be like a cool backpacker, maybe some Bourdain energy to him.
Who cares about being antisemitic?
I’m a proud antisemite; I think Israel shouldn’t commit genocide.
I am a huge sinophobe; I think uyghurs shouldn’t be “reeducated.”
I fucking hate Canadians; first nations got screwed.
I hate all Arabs and muslims; kashnoggi shouldn’t have been cut into pieces.
I hate white people; we need to fix inequality.
I’m a traitor to my country; I think it could be improved.
I’m a devil worshipper; I like D&D.
Ads have started to straight up break the internet for me. I can go to websites and they’ll complain about my ad blocker, and the only help I get is “disable your extensions.” I don’t even have any extensions! No ad block! But sites still curl up and die on me.
Is it because my browser is hardened? Is it Linux? Do I have to fork over private data to use a site and if I don’t they pretend the issue is ad blockers?
It’s amusing that out of the few articles I’ve seen it’s only been pictures of girls. There’s no way that old backpacker dude or a friggin lawyer didn’t have photos. I can go digging I guess but I was just mildly curious what people who traveled and drank at these places looked like.
"… this is the fucking Pentagon! … Even if the allegations are fake, it doesn’t matter because he was supposed to tell us what we needed to know so we could be better prepared to defend him — not learn about it from the media.”
They want to make the government small enough to drown in a bathtub and they can’t even find police reports about a potential hire.
Don’t just stare at it, feed it.
