They both bought property on White Feminist Island and don’t check their mail very often.

You’re making a false equivalence, because racism and appropriation is about power. Context matters.

Except there is no “magical negro” stereotype.

Its almost like we have a legacy of marginalizing and dehumanizing each other....

Using the murder device is tasteless, but there are other schools of thought.

The point is that, when the general public starts collectively thinking of doctors as scientists, then so do politicians and bureaucrats. And that will have enormous (negative, IMO) implications with regard to how science and scientific pursuits are treated.

Uhh, practicing doctors aren’t scientists. That people today think they are is a big problem.

Sometimes, less is more:

Blamed as a glitch when panorama mode takes a lot of pictures and stitches them together? Not exactly designed as a single point in time photo of the scene. What it is though is someone who is creating hyper-real and fanciful images using the technique.

Pretty much anyone who’s ever been sexually assaulted or done anti-sexual violence prevention work is deemed “biased” in sexual assault cases, and dismissed from the jury pool due to their supposed inability to be “impartial”. They have to call 2-3x as many people for the jury pool on a rape case compared to normal. I…

I mean, he said one thing once, then said another at another time. He hasn’t been stridently against trans rights like he has with Muslim people or immigrants, but he also is palling around with a lot of anti-queer asshats like Tony Perkins, so my trust in him is still hovering right around the zero mark.

I have trouble telling when I’m depressed. I have to look for physical signifiers, for instance, am I cleaning less frequently and watching more TV? Am I doing things I want or intended to do? Depression can manifest differently in different people, and it is not always easy for people who have depression to tell that…

I think one joke on that subject is enough. I actually wish I hadn’t posted it.

I want to be able to nanoassemble food on demand. I don’t care if its labeled “fake” so long as it does the same job and tastes just as good. I’d like to feed it a pile of perfectly cooked hot wings and get that same plate of goodness out every single time. Minus anything that can cause cancer of course...Which would…

Yeah, pretty much. I don’t see the appeal of living in a house with blank walls and empty shelves. So I surround myself with things I enjoy and periodically go back to revisit them, thus enjoying them all over again.

This post depresses me because I want the love you have...

I’ve found there’s a certain amount of confirmation bias that goes with firm believers of anything, whether they be about religion, aliens, magic, Satan, ghosts, horoscopes, fortune telling, conspiracy theories, or any other kind of Hoodoo. Once you start to believe in something, it becomes self reinforcing, and you…

And every kid in the Christian clubs is there because they truly believe in it, rather than to make their parents happy, or to make friends, or because some boy/girl they like are involved in them?

And by and large the ones who aren’t doing the raping generally aren’t any happier about it than we are.

Have you ever considered that perhaps it’s just fun and nobody gives a crap whether or not you think it’s a “children’s game.”
