Can it be worse than saying that you can rape a woman into becoming straight and she’ll like it? I highly doubt it.
- Comment on Why would an all loving god create hell? 1 week ago:
The idea of punishment is to prevent further misbehaviours, not to throw shit back at the kids. The goal is to teach the proper behaviour.
But hell is supposed to be eternal, and as such there is no evolving from it, making it not a punishment but a torture.
Now if you believe in torturing kids who misbehave just for the sake of making them suffer, that’s something else.

- Comment on Why do i see so many americans obsessed with the concept of "this is a thing that [Ethnicity] does" 5 weeks ago:
“Americans” are not an ethnicity. Talking about the culture of a country is nothing similar to attaching innate characteristics to a person based on origin/skin color/etc.
- Comment on Do you also feel cringe about people making such a big deal about ethnicity? 5 weeks ago:
This does not require ethnicity at all.
If someone is discriminated because of an ethnicity they don’t actually have (let’s say a Mexican being targeted as an “arab”) should they not get compensation ?
According to your logic, you need ethnicity to give compensation which means that you require victims to have a specific ethnicity to be recognised, but it is absurd. What makes victims victims is what they went through, not the reason they suffered abuse.
And this doesn’t even apply to colonization as in this case most of the times the former colony is now a country, and as such you can give compensation to the country and its citizens, no ethnicity required.
Either way, ethnicity is not needed.

I think that being a colonizer is not something a government should be. So yes, definitely, such a treaty is bad.
A government should be treating people as equally as possible. Ethnicity only brings unnecessary division.

Well, american culture making such a big deal about ethnicity even when “positive” did influence a lot.
I never understood why the N word is racist because of history, but then being black makes it fine to say. It’s still linked to a racist background, but it seems like americans consider that minorities can never be or do anything racist.
And I mean, in 99% of cases the concept of ethnicity is (or at least is used in a way that is) purely racist. Apart from a few studies on genetic specificities, it has no purpose at all, and definitely no purpose in daily lives and governments.
What’s weird is that no one with a sane mind would say that a woman saying “women are bitches and shouldn’t be able to work” isn’t misogynistic, but when it comes to racism people are making up exceptions left and right.
If you focus on ethnicity, chances are you are racist, no matter the justification you put behind it.
- Comment on Would you consider me a “dry texter”? 1 month ago:
Just imagine someone like you talking with you. How does it work?
I can’t even imagine that it would last more than two messages. It’s not a conversation if only one person is talking.
- Comment on Are mood problems a “turn off” for people even when they’re hard to manage? 1 month ago:
Seeking help is definitely the way to go as others have pointed out.
If you don’t care about others feeling hurt, well then just think about it rationally: you probably don’t like getting hurt, so you can understand that they don’t either and trying not to hurt others generally makes the world easier for everyone.
Now I would also say that aside of that, you should apologize to people you hurt. Not specifically expecting them to forgive you, but because it also logically makes more sense as it might make them feel less bad about your behaviour.
I would overall try to think about things more rationally than emotionally because it does look like your emotions are your main source of problem right now, and for example thinking that hurting people is going to make them improve is absurd.
And thinking rationally would let you realize what behaviors are not okay, and let you apologize/warn people about it even if you fail to control yourself. While people would still completely be entitled to distancing themselves from you if your behaviour hurts them, it might at least give them some insight that allows them to get less hurt. And once again, less hurt is generally positive.

- Comment on Watching Enterprise for the very first time 2 months ago:
I’m referring to the orion slaves episode (Bound), the cogenitor episode, and impulse, yes. And if people like impulse then they like a low-quality resident evil movie, not star trek.
Made me realise that I also forget to mention the episode with graphical teen incest scenes, too. And the various episodes with discrimination and sexual assault which are plenty.
- Comment on Watching Enterprise for the very first time 2 months ago:
So you’re enjoying pro-slavery messages and zombie-apocalypse episodes in your star treks? Huh.

The spread of AI as a valid tool to get proper data/information is a big problem and threat. So I have a problem with something that is actively making things worse, yes.
- Comment on !funny@sh.itjust.works , for funny content, politics are forbidden 2 months ago:
Politics are becoming more and more of the center of a lot of issues, of course it’s going to be everywhere. Just like if a comet is about to hit earth and you complain about all communities talking about it, even if unrelated.
Your stance is looking a lot like enlightened centrism at this point, and that’s definitely not a good thing.
