Love it

Nah, there’s nothing feminine about being “weak and pathetic, and needing to rely on a real man for everything”.

To keep it simple and pithy, my notion of femininity is Storm from X-Men. Be a force of nature, nurturing but to be reckoned with if and when provoked.

IME, they know something is up, but they don’t know what exactly so you just come across E N I G M A T I C

Yeah except no one who doesn’t wanna be a sex worker should have to be one. If that’s what you want, go for it. But if someone doesn’t want to do that for any reason, they should have viable alternatives, like inflation-adjusted livable wage jobs and UBI.

Biking to work would be awesome if I didn’t hate biking in the sun or snow. Spring or Fall are nice biking seasons. Might move to a more bike friendly area, but luckily current commute is nil since I wfh.

I haven’t played it for almost a decade now, but I loved it! Most recent rpg was Baldurs Gate 3, but just the first few hours and then I got busy. I am looking forward to a new elder scrolls entry, and a new xcom. Nothing really doing it for me rn, all games are kinda the same after you play enough of them.

To be honest, if the leftist revolution promises Stalins USSR style economics and governance, then Western people are better off without it because most people in Western nations are relatively well off, so moving to that type of economic/political model will make the majority in a western nation poorer.

For example, 66% of US population are homeowners, that is they own both the land and property (if any). In this case, the humanitarian pov is that the minority should be lifted from poverty, and provided equal rights to achieve self-actualization. So housing assistance, education, health care and food assistance.

The democratic and humane way to achieve this is via high tax rates on the uber wealthy. People also deserve protections from discrimination to enable their self-actualization in a psychologically and physically safe manner. My own philosophy is that a person is born without any will to be born, so that person doesn’t necessarily owe anything to anyone else other than reasonable and mutual social contracts. People don’t have the right to be sociopaths or psychopaths, but they don’t have to be self sacrificing or altruistic.

My own pov aside, the U.S. could implement China-style market socialism and state-controlled socialism for itself and its citizens, but then it’s not going to be a haven for immigrants because such policies require cultural homogeneity. Cultural homogeneity requires strict immigration control, as seen in China, https://www.ispionline.it/en/publication/why-isnt-china-considering-immigration-against-demographic-decline-163101.

But I think maintaining immigration to democratic and economically well off nations is important for lifting the world out of poverty and illiteracy. However, all of this necessitates that nations preserve democracy. Capitalism has ruined democracy, which is why we get neoconservatism/neoliberalism, two sides of the same fail coin.

Governance models have forgotten that people formed groups, communities and nations to ensure the betterment and self-actualization of the individual, not to create productivity or workers. Currently the world acts to enable self actualization for companies or nations, which is why we end up with genocides and corporate imperialism as a default state. People deserve better than the Stalin-style leftism or the Clinton-style liberalism. I think we need some type of humanitarian libertarianism, where we can ensure free markets, individual freedoms, but also governance models which ensure social fairness and justice.

Perfect, case closed.

Saying gender is binary is like saying there are only two types of apples, red and green.

Sorry that’s your outlook, that really sucks.

If you haven’t tried, maybe give therapy a go. But no need to pay heed to something from a stranger, maybe talk to a friend or loved one first for advice.

Good luck.

That’s a good guess, and I just want to add that the tumblr post where I stole this comic from used the tags “neurodivergent” and “autism”.

So it’s INFJ, huh

Idk exactly, but maybe some type of cozy fantasy?

Federated, decentralized and open source platforms are saving the internet. Everything else is pretty trash.

My favorite horror movie of late, I liked Smile 2 as well. There are some movies I watch every year because i enjoy their writing, themes, characters or some other aspects. Smile is turning out to be one of those.

My favorite strong women movie is Legally Blonde

Let’s goooooo!

But it shouldn’t though? In a reasonable society, using neopronouns isn’t any different than using someone’s name. Yeah, I acknowledge that society isn’t reasonable some times.

It is if you wanna wake up at 3pm
