log(something)?

I’m 20% better than giraffes 😎

As an autistic person, I’ve had to logic my way through empathy, so I’m pretty good at moral reasoning and getting past factors that make problems seem more distant. I might not give the same emotional reaction as seeing it in person, but someone “becoming a statistic” still makes me feel a little bad. Now, I definitely don’t do as much as I really should, but I do at least care.

I wonder if allistic people, with their intuitive empathy, just never bother to push beyond their empathetic and moral intuition? Distancing strategies seem far too effective on them, and cognitive dissonance is great at promoting distancing strategies.

The fact that some people think I advocate for doing the right thing for attention… Mate, I can’t help that doing the right thing makes me look good, now can we just fucking do it already?

Reality can be ignored and hidden, but the (lack of) civility in the performance is on stage for us to see. Perhaps it’s good they’re dropping the act?

Do you get two empty spaces next to your tower? For maintenance if the lower elements.

It’s called a tower PC for a reason

The only border crisis is what the state is doing to migrants there.

Mind the distinction between “both sides are (equally) bad therefore I’ll do nothing” and “both sides are quite bad (but not necessarily equally bad)”.

Saying both sides are equally bad is indeed stupid and tactically bad. Saying one side is good and the other is bad is also stupid because both sides have a lot of blood in their hands and plan to continue it (to different degrees). Saying both sides are pretty bad but not equally bad is quite accurate to the situation. If we want positive change, we need to be willing to see the flaws, so let’s not paper over the Democratic party’s issues (of which there are many). Let’s also make the best we can out if the situation and make sure the Republican party has as little power as possible, because miraculously they’re far worse.

Name a successful “respectful” protest. Disrespect does seem to be necessary.

I don’t see blue maga, it seems like OOP doesn’t like Biden either. All I see is someone pleading for the least bad (and realistic) option in the election.

I’ve heard a hypothesis that patriarchy was a tool for redirecting hostility away from the colonizers. Men would get to be rulers over their family, so they’d risk losing that if they challenged the status quo; and women didn’t really have the rights to do much, but if they could mount resistance it would be against men. Queer people challenge that whole setup, unless they’re too busy trying to survive…

Or maybe it’s actually just as simple as conformist societies are easier to control, idk.

If it’s nutritionally, flavorfully, and textured identically, why do you care?

I can’t say I’ve seen that sort of person. Am I just lucky?

I see all this “stop telling us to love Biden”, but the only other side I see is “yeah he’s terrible, but he’s slightly less terrible so this’ll be slightly less bad overall”.

At this point, I don’t think threatening to not vote for him will move him left because I don’t think he thinks he could really do anything in time to sway the polls. And idk how to pressure him in office.

For anyone very invested in this, it’s probably much more impactful to focus your energy on local politics, which can change the party pressures Biden feels. You might even have a choice in your local elections that isn’t complete garbage! Though I would say it’s probably a good idea to still vote for Biden, because there’s a chance to mildly sway him.
