Yow!

Q:
How do you know if there’s an elephant living in your fridge?

Back when, we only had what today would be called “natural” peanut butter, made from just peanuts. You didn’t have to keep it in the fridge, but it helped keep it from separating again once you got it all stirred up.

If you create intelligent life, it doesn’t matter who it is or how it came to exist. Your moral responsibilities to that specific creature are identical. I’m sure you can find edge cases where you have to make a decision between a human and a non-human animal, but even if those edge cases all go to the human, it does not excuse all the other cases where there is no human that has to suffer for you to live up to your responsibilities.

Yeah, the CBC video comment sections. b’dum-tss

Less glibly, couldn’t you look at this through a more positive lens? Can you not be grateful towards our sisters, mothers and daughters for their capacity to resist the fascist hatred that is washing over the planet? Like if we narrowly avoid slipping in to full on fascist governments, then yeah, it will be because of the women, not because of the men. And if we narrowly avoid saving ourselves from that fate, then yeah, it’ll be more the responsibility of the men of the world than the women. It’s a plain as day fact that you can see over the last ten years of polling. If that fact is hard for you to process, probably this public forum isn’t the best place for you to try to work it out.

What I am hearing is that you would like to tell us about your trauma. Well, please. Go ahead.

Police and courts exist to serve the state’s interests, not the interests of that state’s citizens. Those interests can diverge a great deal. Doesn’t change in a democracy, it’s just not about us.

The premise in action before our very eyes.

Wow, that was, like, SOOOOO funny, I forgot to laugh. /s

Q: Why did the punk rocker cross the road?

To understand this joke you need to be old enough to remember when wearing safety pins through the flesh was fashionable in some subcultures.

Males worldwide are swinging hard to the right. It’s concerning.

He’s also inherited irrational hatred from his father. Many 40-50 year old grew up hearing their parents bash PET like it was their full time job and religion. It became part of their fucking IDENTITY. JT could be the second coming of Jesus and the right would still gleefully desecrate his crucified corpse.

Not saying that’s the only factor but it sure made it easier to whip up the moral panic we see among some people today.

I mean that’s not likely. Humans have spiritual needs. I suspect what’s more likely is that the constant aggravation of Christianity being shoved down our throats massively distorts our idea of what religious thought and practice even is, and we don’t recognize our own needs and practices as being religious in nature.

In psychology, spirituality is thought of as how you relate to the Universe. Do you think it is a good place where positive things can happen? Do you think it is a bad place where suffering outweighs any potential value? One has to find a way to feel that existing in this Universe is tenable. That right there is religious thought.

We all have many needs of religious thought.

The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection.

Driving a blue car on orange or vice versa.

tsk, ripping off “Cowspiracy”

Geeze, that lands different 40 years later. Would forget it if I could.

So, this is embarrassing. Apparently up until this point, every time someone said, “monero,” what I heard was “Venmo”, and I just tuned out that pay pal bullshit every single time. Oops. I know better now, thanks.
