I have terrible news for you. That meme is an antisemitic dogwhistle

I worry that the belief in and pursuit of objective reality has negative social ramifications. For example, transphobia is usually motivated by a belief in objective sex. We also see racism from belief in objective race, and religious genocides such as the Crusades and the colonisation of Latin America from belief in objective religion. While we have made significant strides in all these areas recently, people have not extended the same empathy to otherkin and plural systems, still convinced of objective species and objective personhood. I fear that an antirealist approach is the only way to ensure people seek continuous progress on these issues.

Given these limitations, our goal should not be closer and closer adherence to some unknowable objective reality, but instead more and more useful models in terms of their effect on the happiness of ourselves and others.

Anger is a great attitude for situations like that. My favourite story from the Halo universe is about a dad like that getting what he deserves.

You can’t choose what order channels are in, for one thing

If you don’t like pain, just change the way you think about it.

Desire revenge.

Have you tried a higher cbd lower thc strain?

I’m on MULTIVERSE, which defederated.ml, and I can still see the image just fine. I’m glad I can see their memes without having to tolerate their users.

I have a friend with autism who has trouble wearing shoes, and faces social judgement for it. To Me, Chancellor Ake is representation. SFA is woke.

I want the first otherkin Starfleet officer. The first plural Starfleet officer who isn’t a cyborg or an alien. I want Starfleet officers with (treated) BPD, NPD, and ASPD. I want the first schizophrenic Starfleet Officer. I want the first transracial Starfleet Officer (transracial people are people who grew up in a different ethnic culture than their biological parents). The first Starfleet Officer with neopronouns.

I want a story about the Federation trying to ban animal meat while respecting cultural traditions. A story about the Federation dealing with democracy for plural systems.

Not the first interracial kiss on TV

Wow, those are some serious mental health symptoms

But you don’t remember other people’s, so in your subjective perception it’s only been as much extra time as you used.

This is a great quote for soulists. Yesterday we destroyed the natural order of race. Today we are destroying the natural order of gender. Tomorrow we will destroy the natural order of species. One day people will realise that every law of nature is artificial.

FYI they have tools that tell them all the downvotes you’ve ever sent in that community, so if you saw one bad post a month and downvoted it without knowing it’s AI, their tools will make it look like you’re a “downvote troll”, whatever that means.

Frozen peas.

Being right some of the time doesn’t mean they’re right all the time. Cops arrest drunk drivers and domestic abusers sometimes, but that doesn’t mean they can be trusted when they turn their bodycams off and ask us to trust their interpretation of an event. Mods do not wield the same power as cops, but I believe the analogy holds water with regards to the issue of trust.

After seeing all the times they labelled someone a troll just for downvoting posts they don’t like, I don’t trust their judgement. I think they’re too close to the issue. It strikes Me as paranoia. Nobody is making an alt account so they can downvote one post every couple of months, it just doesn’t fit the pattern the mods say is there.

With a community like Imaginary Witches, a lot of people like seeing cool drawings of witches, as long as they’re by a talented artist. A user might see an AI generated witch as a detriment to the Imaginary Witches community they want to see. Or they might not even realise it’s AI, and just downvote it for being poorly drawn in their opinion. So it makes a lot of sense not to block a community when you’ve only ever seen four bad posts from it over the past ten months.

I do agree with the message about invisible disabilities and mental ableism, but I’m gonna push back on some of this greener grass thinking. For a lot of physical health struggles like chronic fatigue, diabetes, juvenile arthritis, etc… they don’t get this kind of support. Being trans is also often a physical health struggle as much as mental. I like reminding people that gender dysphoria is a genetic disorder.
