Men lust after women and women lust after men. Hating one another for that is ridiculous and denies that reality.
Women are simply more selective, but their jaws tend to drop to the floor and their gazes tend to linger into creepy lengths of time over a Hugh Jackman bod or a broad shouldered designer suit that screams high income.
Its quite sad that people can’t except one another as imperfect animals with biological baggage.
- Comment on People born after 2000 have never seen the cosmic microwave background on their TV set. 2 days ago:
Maybe not on their TV set, but there are more than enough references to it in TV and film that it’s still known almost universally.
Everything from old beloved films to Modern period shows. Its literally an overused way to establish the narrative isnt taking place in the present.

The ones we kill are the lucky ones.
We put the ones we find cute when we “develop” their land in cages, and force them to breed despite being effectively extinct solely we can gawk at them for our amusement.
We pump the ones we find delicious with laboratory hormones to make them freakishly obese, and cramp them in factory farms until they’re obese enough to kill.
The Auks and Dodos were treated kindly by the standards of our species.

- Comment on Robinhood admits it’s just a gambling app. 2 weeks ago:
Let’s be honest, our “free market” is a regular casino for the plebs that own about 10% of shares in their 401ks and Robinhood accounts, and an intentionally rigged casino for the oligarchs that own the rest, with marked insider information cards, and loaded market manipulation dice.
Gotta love when the bootlickers defend this economy, and market investment, as somehow inclusive, when 93% of stocks are owned by 10% of Americans.

- Comment on Peter Todd in hiding after being “unmasked” as bitcoin creator 3 weeks ago:
Oh come on now.
Almost all people declaring or otherwise promoting their supposed genius are completely full of shit, Elon comes to top of mind, but there in fact are some savants for which quickly understanding and mastering highly technical domains just comes naturally.
These people are almost always far more interested in exercising their gift/curse and solving problems than in self promotion or feeding a greed disease. People like Elon unfortunately receive most of the fruits and accolades of the efforts of people like this. It makes me sick how selfish, self-important capitalist baffoon types literally rule the world by paying people that do solve mankind’s great problems a salary, then perverting their work to maximize profit and walking out on stage with it in a fucking turtleneck all but declaring “I made dis thing. Don’t ask me how it fucking works, but I made dis. Pay me. I’m God.”
It’s sad that humans largely tend to swoon over, and would much rather be led by empty headed, charismatic, narcissistic bullshit artists, usually dopes who never think before they open their gaping mouth holes, who have no problem declaring they know everything about everything than almost exclusively non-charismatic, high functioning geniuses that are almost always too neurotic to want to lead, which makes them even more desirable candidates to be drafted into it.

- Comment on Is Lebanon part of Israel’s promised territory? 1 month ago:
Why? We’re all about validating cruelty under the guise of because the Bible tells me so.
The US, my shithole of birth, will do whatever is in the economic interests of the owner class, and Israel is sadly a very good customer. But yeah, the politicians will absolutely thump a bible in front of some idiot constituents to keep selling it.
It’s tradition.
- Comment on You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first 1 month ago:
Honestly, in the course of our species living in servitude to a few thousand sociopaths who’ve used their capital/power to convince us that meaningless productivity for toxic economic metasisis is “the only way forward” and the meaning of life, their terraforming of our only habitat against our physically fragile species in their blind, reckless pursuit of ever moaar is accidental mercy.
Extinction is far preferable to generation after generation sacrificing themselves from cradle to grave solely to enrich the modern pharoahs of avarice.

Why sadly?
- Comment on That explains it. 1 month ago:
I always find it peculiar and somewhat self-hating that humans are so averse and judgemental about reveling in our sexuality.
It’s a major part of who we all are, whether we choose to deny that or not. Cultures and world religions always run by monied interests would prefer we spend our time miserable collecting more for them as they live in decadent debauchery, and most of us have been too fucked in the head with sexual shame to be fixable, but humanity would have been so much happier if we spent less time growing gdp and more time fucking, especially in an age of birth control.

- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 2 months ago:
I think such protections have to happen BEFORE the market capitalists are able to use their immense hoards of power, that’s what capital is at scale, to capture their own governments and regulators that were supposed to act as a firewall protecting regular citizens from them, as the market capitalists have in the United States for almost half a century.
Once that happens. Good fucking luck. Greed doesn’t let go of what it acquires.

I agree, this is just leftover momentum.
Reaganomics was a bullet to this nation’s brain stem. Citizens United was just the capitalists pissing on the corpse for fun.

I just wish there were a way to save these records in a format with enough longevity to survive until the next sapient species evolves after we destroy ourselves and the human habitability of the planet for a couple million years.
They could use the warning against greed and ignorance, and we deserve to have others laughing at our expense.

It got us to the moon.
Then we decided to sell off our society for private property under the lie that we’d all benefit.
- Comment on Doctors Remove Woman’s Brain Implant Against Her Will 2 months ago:
So should a lot of research, for public benefit. Medical absolutely, space absolutely.
The problem with that model is no one acquires immoral levels of wealth, which means those that set policy don’t get as large of bribes.
