  We have an American commercial illustrator named Warner Sallman to blame for the canonical Jesus’ melanin deficit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here’s why some people still evade public transport fares – even when they’re 50 cents⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with free public transport is that’s, once there’s no cost to it, usage goes up qualitatively. People will pack onto a rammed bus rather than walk a few blocks because it’s easier, and those already on the bus will find their journeys becoming more unpleasant. Those who have cars will decide to start driving again, and the buses will become slower as they’re stuck in a traffic jam consisting of people who aren’t getting anywhere either but at least don’t have a stranger’s armpit next to their nose.

  So, anything short of having a communist revolution, confiscating all the private cars and using the seized wealth of the capitalist class to greatly increase capacity to where there’s a conveyor belt of buses with one every 30 seconds, free public transport will result in a soup kitchen system that nobody uses if they have an alternative.

  It’s a trick the English repeated centuries later by establishing minorities as administrative castes in their colonies (i.e. Indians in Uganda)

  Some 1900 years earlier, the Roman Empire was having problems with the inhabitants of one of their recently conquered territories resisting their authority and decided to make an example of them by expelling them from their territory. They ended up scattered all over the Empire and beyond, whilst maintaining their language, religion and customs. A few hundred years after that, Rome adopted a new religion, worshipping a guy they had put to death a few hundred years earlier in that particular territory, and had to find someone else to blame, and the people they expelled were the most expedient candidate. And so, we had a millennium or two of European Christianity very unsubtly stating that the Jews were the killers of Christ, which got embellished, as urban legends do, with a number of other equally lurid myths about them poisoning wells with the Plague and abducting Christian babies for their blood. People generally (with exceptions) stopped believing in those myths, but the underlying attitudes of suspicion remained ingrained in culture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colombian president says cocaine 'no worse than whisky'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anecdotally, cocaine seems to make its users into the worst versions of themselves. Alcohol can have negative effects (the “mean drunk”, drinking as disinhibition for impulsive antisocial behaviour, etc.) though the average drinker is generally not regarded as negatively as the average cokehead. I wonder how much of this is due to the substances’ intrinsic properties and how much due to cultural expectations.

  I made the mistake of ordering a pizza with vegan cheese a few years ago. It smelled and tasted rancid, in an overbearingly chemical way. I didn’t finish it.

  In terms of ethical veganism, what happened to the genetically engineered yeasts that produced cow casein, and looked like a promising way of making animal-free dairy products?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking hell⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In 50-100 years’ time, we may see the US transition to a European-style constitutional monarchy, with King Donald III being stripped of executive powers and reduced to a figurehead, riding a symbolic gold elevator down to open Congress every year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sweden PM accelerates law allowing wiretapping children to combat organized crime⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sweden has an epidemic of gang warfare, with shootings and bombings taking place, and many perpetrators being under 18. The Swedish system has until recently been based on the assumption of a society of people who can be trusted to follow the rules (for example, you can look up anyone’s home address and how much they earn in a public database). They have only recently started changing this in response to the gang crisis, i.e. only recently is it possible for witnesses to anonymously testify in trials, which led to many defendants walking free as witnesses justifiably feared retribution.

  If the wiretapping is targeted at individual suspects rather than mass surveillance of everyone in a group (say, under-18s in problematic suburbs, or from racialised minorities), it doesn’t sound entirely unreasonable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hogwarts Legacy Official Mod Support Confirmed For This Week⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It gives her money for her hobbies, which at this stage are most stoking hatred against trans people. As such, any purchases of this game fund anti-trans hate campaigns. The fact that there is a trans character in the game which funds anti-trans hate campaigns doesn’t redeem it, but if anything, it’s a gesture of contempt (“these idiot wokelings will buy us the rope we’ll hang them with!”)
