oral is amazing. It's like someone in the transhuman future was like "ok you know what would make sex way better? Pussy tentacle" but it's already there
So many feelings about this post!!!!!! But I’ll settle for a combination “wish I wrote this post” and “me and who” and leave it at that
I feel like contrarianism isnt a deeply intimate personality tick for me!!!! I dont think I exercised it until I had been card carrying leftist/tumblr/idpol/anticapitalist for a bunch of years.
The deeply intimate personality tick is going meta, actually. So as a card carrying member of the ideology, I would fail to uphold performance, I wouldn’t virtue signal correctly, cuz I would zoom out and think of the general case. I would basically agree but still incur distrust, because people are cognitive weaklings and need very aggressive assurance that you’re loyal to them or conforming to them.
It was sort of a few years of socializing as a meta guy, and thinking through the way people responded to that, that led me to acquire the taste for contrarianism and that led me to admire the people who are died in the wool contrarians.
like completely aside from the fact that an it's unwelcoming to questioning, nontransitioning & closeted people, how did we (as vaguely progressive-shaped people who can be assumed to have been feminists in the 00s/10s and to be trans-positive now) go from obsession with the idea of unconcious bias and that orchestra thing and everything to "hey let's emblazon everything from email sigs to chat handles with signifiers of gender, in a work context. We'll put it right next to the name so everyone knows it's like the second most important fact about people. I bet this will have no unforeseen consequences."
I mean first name correlations already do a lot of this work, so pronouns in email signatures probably is low impact in the average case even tho it’s a game changer in the marginal case.
If there’s say an afab engineer who uses gender ambiguity or partial masculinity to be held to a higher standard, we’re obviously screwing them over quite a bit in a way I think is morally relevant.
I’m in a local kink server and I’ve been noticing the identity/labeling meta is worse than it was when I first started hanging out in subcultures where it matters 10 years ago!!!
Especially with regards to neurodivergent. Appending adhd to your gender and ethnicity list, to buy yet more credibility or pity, is especially aggravating because no one doesnt have ADHD, no one is neurotypical, etc.
enough preg let's litigate a new fetish. step right up who's got a good one

oh my god this is me. i was addicted to designer amphetamines and completely delusional at the time of writing this. i had lost forty pounds and thought i was hot shit. i thought i was the reincarnation of Kurt Vonnegut. this was serious, and my friends laughed when they saw this go viral on twitter. it made me realize i had issues and im sober now. im also shocked i managed to stay employed at that time. To answer your question: im from LA but I grew up all around. I was living between Baltimore and NYC at the time. My mom is a beautiful Italian woman (Milan by way of Bolzano) and my dad is an insufferable Mexican from Montreal.
this is the most viscerally effective anti-drug PSA i've ever seen, not least because i think it's plausibly true, unlike the ones i normally see
Such a great saga
a lot of tumblr users are still very deferential toward any accusation of antisemitism, and that makes some sense because antisemitism is one of the worst and deadliest ideologies that the world has ever seen. but you must understand that leaning into this deference cripples your own ability to reason about the world.
it's not true that, in order for jewish people to be safe, israel must continue to treat palestinians as second-class citizens, that the IDF must continue to kill palestinian children, that palestinians must continue to be evicted from their homes to allow further israeli settlement. these are not necessary things.
it's also not necessary that judaism itself be sacrosanct, above any of the criticism that might be directed at any other religion for the way it's practiced, or that insular fundamentalist jewish communities in the US continue to maintain their separate systems of schooling that, much like the amish, isolates their children from the rest of society and leaves them unprepared for life outside their community.
it's a tragedy that we live in a world where antisemites often also criticize israel and judaism and hasidic schools, but the fact that evil people criticize these things does not make them good.
I know this isnt really related, but I did a little app swiping recently and I was reflecting on my double standard. “Christian” is a pretty obvious disqualifier, the few “muslim” or “hindu” I see unlikely, “spiritual” on thin ice, etc. But jewish is fine. Why?
Is it just a tactical belief about supply/demand, since I heavily prefer in-cult dating and my cult has a lot of jews? Is it because the quite vague and superficial understanding of philosophical contributions of judaism I’ve gathered from my cult compelling or impressive? If so, would that be robust to familiarity (i.e. I’m not impressed by christian philosophy because im more familiar with it / I may be over indexing on novelty).
Some of these play nonzero roles (the second one moreso than the first one), but I think the biggest part is “what is the koolaid/label really for?”— I think the idea of “secular judaism” is simply strong and salient, or like “the philosophy and social technology is good, intergenerational notions of solidarity-ish things are good, the rituals are emotionally or aesthetically similar to what I’d be doing anyway at solstice” in a way that other religions cant compete with.

Did he do the ritual correctly? If the scepter of real numbers is not passed to the Successor correctly the Cantor dust gets everywhere and causes a ton of problems for a lot of timelines. The council has been getting more aggressive about revoking epsilon licenses from people who act negligently, especially since diedekind ascended.
Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!
Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.
Modern writing advice: Yes your protagonist should have flaws but ultimately we should root for them and like them from the beginning :)
Charles Dickens: Here is the worst ugliest rudest meanest nastiest bitch you’ve ever met in your life.
Modern writing advice: Make sure your POV character goes through a significant arc! Make sure they are changed by the narrative! Make sure they learn a lesson!
Narrators of every book of the 19th century: the lesson I learned is these people fucking suck, sayonara you freaks
Modern writing advice: It’s all about the character overcoming obstacles and learning! They learn their lesson so they can fix their mistakes and make good choices in the future! It’s a character arc! It’s called growth! Readers love it!
Everyone from ancient times through the 19th century: would you like to watch a Guy fuck up twenty times in a row
Yeah I do often think about homogeneous standards that get imposed and people doubledown, in these ways
Director's cut? I'm just trying to enjoy the movie. His circumcision status is none of my business.
I dont WANT to reblog this, but the laugh rule!!!!! Its too strong!!!
In order to have good politics, I think you should want to be an anarchist. Like, yeah, we probably need a state, or something functionally much like a state, to make sure antibiotics get manufactured and the roads get paved and people have enough to eat. But you should be in perpetual unease over that fact. When institutions of power begin to overstep their bounds, you should not hesitate to make it their problem. You have to think the Man is fucking bullshit, man.
Like, I think power will probably always exist. If it isn't explicit it'll be implicit. But that doesn't mean you have to accept it, endorse it, support it. You should be putting systems of power through the wringer at every turn. Because power will be better behaved in a society where everyone is a bit of an anarchist on the inside, where we know it's all fucking bullshit.
Endorsed.
One of my top favorite EA moments was early in the wytham abbey discourse, dustin (who is like 70% of EA money) said “oh wow, that’s crazy, why would an EA funder do this” and then immediately replied with “(it wasnt me, was it?)” —– that was so much fucking fun
can't believe I just saw someone argue that bestiality is wrong because you can't get them pregnant
skill iss-
@di--es---can-ic-ul-ar--es In all seriousness, this is the original comment. It is replying to someone arguing that it's inconsistent to oppose bestiality but eat meat.
Thanks! I probably unironically think its inconsistent to oppose bestiality but eat meat, certainly at least in a consent-driven theory.
Unsure if that’s what the commenter is saying, tho. It’s not really in the text! Maybe it was in upthread context tho.
Edit: sorry, massive reading comprehension L— the screenshot is someone replying to the comment about veganism, not the comment about veganism itself. Which you said.
