Didn’t watch the movie, huh?

I think it’s cute!

See step 2 is really where the meat lies

That’d be my step 1, personally

Step 2 is proving it

It’s funny, I remember when it first came out a lot of the excitement was lowkey about expropriation. Bet that’s the real reason the price ever went up lol

Man I wish I could go

Yes!

How inspiring! Truly motivational! ☕️

If one of us ever wins the lotto we better get on funding that

B-b-b-bingo

I know what you mean. Purity culture can be pretty suffocating

It’s funny because Victoria 3 is basically all I play now

But I also consider it a secondary game, since I just put it on to relax so I might as well be meditating or something. Those games are so oddly peaceful.

Bring it on, drinky Pete

Then send it to me, and I’ll make it a song

I’m always torn between accusing people of willful delusion, and sympathy for the difficulty of breaking out of a cult you’re culturally incentivized towards. I genuinely think that if the ‘Left’ had the funding the ‘Right’ does, this wouldn’t even be a contest. But one side is playing with a crazy big handicap, and we know from history exactly the kinda of culture that leads to. Discourage critical thinking, and you will find yourself with less and less critical thinkers around you.

Brian Jackson did a pretty good update. Check it out!

Literally why

First of all, I’m proud of you for being the kind of person who is self-critical enough to ask questions like this. Things like ‘Do I speak hurtfully?’ And ‘Am I acting with privilege?’ Are hard to seriously ask, because they challenge our entire life structure to some extent, and might even require us to undertake the perilous and difficult task of manually adjusting our beliefs.

Then, to address what you actually asked, I think a general term is in your favor, if it’s true. Would you rather communicate that you feel for everyone undergoing an experience, or just most of them? It’s an easy thing to forget, that non women can become pregnant, and I doubt anyone blames you for misspeaking. That’s not an asshole thing to do. Nor is it an asshole move for someone to correct you. That’s just the dialectic of culture functioning properly and healthily. It’s unfortunate that we’re trained to associate self-change as a negative thing, because we should be questioning ours and other’s beliefs constantly, imo

I’d like to learn enough biology to cure aging and cancer. But first the politics need to change, so that’s my priority.

Seriously. Sucks that shooting ourselves in the foot for the culture war seems to be near universal for the information age.
