  • Well said. It's impossible to be a free speech absolutist without condoning some pretty heinous forms of human expression. But you're right that the proper ethical yardstick is whether any meaningful human expression causes demonstrable harm.

    Non-sexual nudity is definitely not harmful.

  • Participation in any community demands some level of censorship or else there would literally be CP on youtube. The problem is that the decision making behind the administration of censorship should be better democratized instead of being decided by advertiser's attempting to divine the median consumer's level of tolerance.

  • Cats are really big on consent. As a dog person this is unusual to me. Dogs are sluts for everyone. I can basically go and touch almost any dog I see out in public and it appreciates me for it.

    Man ... If you touch a nice lil kitty they can get real nasty. Even if they appear friendly and affectionate at first they can just slap your hand with their nails right outta nowhere.

  • Blame the algorithms, but yes otherwise you are correct. Being an intransigent shithead is a pathway to success in this world. The bully is rewarded endlessly while the victim is stigmatized.

    All of history's greatest figures in our mind are people with the biggest body counts. Napoleon killed a whole generation of young men in Europe and was basically his era's Hitler. Today he has Fanboys who rush to defend him online.

    That's why Putin invades Ukraine and dgaf about bodies because he's playing to an audience 300 years in the future who also dgaf about the victims anymore than we care about Napoleonic war casualties.

    We are a species of savage assholes and we survive today as the beneficiary's of that legacy.

  • He's so transparently pandering.

    Ted Cruz is smarter than all of this which is why I hate him more than MTG. She's sad as shit because this is real to her. Ted is just a spineless grovelling coward with a shame kink who wants desperately to be powerful.

  • They are just so desperate for an Olympic level "gotcha" in their cultural crusade that they just singled out a woman boxer for being "too butch" and just ran with their assumptions.

    Then every try-hard wannabe right wing influencer type just gloms onto it hoping to be chosen by the algorithm for ten hot seconds of vainglorious right wing attention/validation.

  • JKR is so far off base here that even if you are a dyed-in-the-wool TERF this is basically impossible to defend.

    Gate-keeping feminity by excluding women born with a vagina who are too butch by your opinion to be considered "women" is going too far... even if you are otherwise onboard with gate-keeping "womanhood" from trans women.

  • Everyone knows the problem and Trudeau's bucket of platitudes is useless, but neither do I see PP or Singh proposing anything radically constructive about solving any of this either.

    I feel like whether we get a new govt or keep the old one it's not gonna make much difference the basic systemic failures of our entire system being based on endless growth.

  • The game controller is not managing life critical functions, that's called a computer. The game controller plugs into the computer. The great thing about that is that you can bring a second (or even a third) game controller for redundancy.

    It's just that the engineering choices that caused the failure are difficult to understand or communicate in sentence so the game controller is something any idiot can harp on about and sound smart.

  • Israel war

    Jump
  • Fuck Israel and the Palestinians for being endlessly shitty to each other and dragging the whole gottdam world into their regional territorial dispute over and over for the better part of the last century. Fuck the whole lot of them together for perpetuating the most narcissistic conflict of the 20th century. Everyone's a victim and everyone's an aggressor and we are all supposed to dissect their long historical bullshit and form a moral opinion?! Fuck off and leave us all out of your fucking drama.
