People who aren't trained in medical things are generally very bad at medical things. They also wildly underestimate how bad they are at medical things. Bodies are complicated, y'all.

There is no greater sign that the Trump administration does not care whatsoever about America and American values than this clear show of utter contempt for one of our revolution's greatest heroes.

In a way, AI taking over the Internet might not be the worst thing... I'm noticing more folks dropping virtual activities in favor of physical hobbies; woodworking, hiking, crafts, etc. These are probably healthier than doomscrolling toxic online "communities".

If we outlawed pigs as livestock, so people's only source of bacon was wild hog... that invasive species problem would be solved right quick. Humans are by far the reigning champions at eating things to extinction.

Trump plays stupid games; America wins stupid prizes

Hoarding wealth is still hoarding. It's a disordered behavior. Billionaires are not well, and they should not be admired for it.

The ultra-wealthy are essentially just freeloaders

Your "exotic" is someone else's "mundane". A few years ago, a young man was showing us around his home island in Micronesia. We saw, growing wild, some fancy "houseplants". After explaining the concept to him, he expressed amazement that people would go through such effort for that "useless" plant.

The U.S. government has always been a chaotic, egotist-driven mess. The recent change is merely the removal of shame. We don't need to go back to some imagined "civilized" period. We need to fix something that has *never* worked quite right.

There are those that care about you statistically, and those that care about you specifically. One group is worth more of your time and energy than the other.

Turns out, having a decent handle on epistemology is fairly helpful when dealing with AI. Also, life in general I suppose, but using "epistemology" in conversation is rather pretentious so maybe don't do that.

Fundamental human rights exist independent of state or society. Those who seek to suppress them are plainly wrong.

Seems to me as though the "tradwife" thing is kinda just a subcategory of the whole "full-time dom/sub" lifestyle.

Everyone who lives past a certain age has committed little evils. It is unavoidable. Denying them only allows larger evils to grow. Admitting them, seeking to make right, and resolving to be better; that's where good thrives.

Multilingualism is, and always has been an integral part of American culture and identity. The insistence that people speak English in public life is merely jingoism.

"Toddler" originally meant "One who walks in the manner of a drunk person"

MAGA folks just sound whiny to me, like they don't understand the value of a hard day's work. They should roll up their sleeves and fix their own house rather than complaining about their neighbors'.

Have you ever sat back and reflected upon your life; the good, bad, and in-between, all you've done and all that's happened to you, the big decisions and simple moments, those you've known and those you've lost... and let the weight of its totality crash down around you? Well, it's a vibe.

"White", "Black", "Asian", etc. aren't ethnicities. They're a bland homogenization of cultures that seeks to destroy the beautiful tapestry of tradition and separate us from our shared humanity.

Criminality is in many ways similar to a contagious disease. But do we lock all our contagious people in a box together for months to years without adequate care so they can infect each other? No. We treat them. Help them heal and get better. Maybe there's an idea there...
