  In theory this is non-harmful. In practice this is part of a fantasy escalation ladder that leads bad places. Your actions are led by your thoughts, and you are the thoughts you feed. In reality it’s a good thing to not feed thoughts of abusing children.

  I’d note that I’d be similarly uncomfortable with people buying hyper-realistic dolls to practice amateur torture on, but I’m ok with people buying silicone dolls to practice tattoo art and wound stitching on. The difference being intent, which is a line I’m equally unhappy with the government drawing. Someone slicing up a slab of silicone shaped like a baby because they have a desperate desire to hurt babies that they are actively feeding into is bad. Someone practicing stitching up silicone babies after injuries because they always wanted to be a doctor and never got the chance is healthier and fine. It’s the “what are you feeding with this action?” Problem of governance.

  “Ugly” as an insult does more damage even it’s aimed at a person who was taught their only value in the whole world was how cute they look, regardless of gender. It just happens that the majority of people who were taught that from birth were women.

  Nobody does beauty and the beast with an ugly chick and a cute guy without explicitly trying to undermine the ideal of beauty as intrinsically the sole function of a woman. Men get to be primarily funny, sweet, handy, clever, etc, with handsome as a potential secondary add-on; women generally need to be beautiful, with any other characteristics being the secondary add-on.

  And we’re not taking about things you can choose, like hygiene and smoking status. Just looks. A woman who’s kind but ugly always turns into a beautiful swan at the end of the male fantasy story.

  If you call someone an inbred thickhead it hits about the same. If you call someone a slimey booger it hits about the same. If you call someone a useless empty ghoul it hits about the same. But you gotta know visual insults like ugly have broader social context.

  And to be clear. A HUGE amount of this problem is intensified and maintained by the billion dollar beauty industry, which LOVES insecurity. It’s working hard to monetize men too! But it’s still a work in progress there.

  I am SO HAPPY to see big tits on my timeline instead of anime children showing their whole ass. Like. Reddit is not ok. I will happily accept having to see mommy milkers instead of lipless, eyebrow-deficient bobbleheaded children in lingerie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is theft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Landlords as the people who rent out places to live to other people are responsible for the house. It’s not raw unimproved land. Houses need to be built. They’re objects with many moving parts, subject to a lot of technical challenges, and code enforcement.

  If you allow that object rental has a place in society, I struggle to understand how houses are not ethically the same as renting lawnmowers. You can be a predatory arse or a fair dealer about any rental situation.

  Churchill never had to learn plumbing in a rural area of a state because he had to do the work himself because there was nobody to do it for him.

  EXCELLENT POINT. “Class status” is not anything objectively measurable. Wealth is.

  I aspire to be independent. To be free to do art and sell it without worrying about food or housing.

  Bro they are being facetious to make a point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is theft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  See, that’s an excellent point! But “landlords suck” as a stance doesn’t allow for nuance like “some landlords suck and some tenants are abusive dirtbags”, it paints all tenants as pure victims of a system and all landlords as evil overlords. This lets people who are tenants feel righteous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is theft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m trying to point out that “landlords are evil” is a stupid stance because how and why you do things matters. Everything counts in large amounts, and I have had good landlords before. Tenants who have never done their own property maintenance rarely understand what goes into property maintenance.

  Does this still apply to the apartment building I once lived in which was built and run by an immigrant family as a long term family investment, and they charged a really reasonable price?

  Just curious.

  “ethical hacker” is not defined as “someone who only hacks in fear of law”. That’s my point. Hackers with ethics do lots of shit. Some of them work within the law, some of them work sideways to the law, but your code of ethics and your legal code aren’t quite the same thing, and you assuming they are is surprising.

  Dude, do you want individual hacking to become illegal? Because people who are not hacking daily are prone to forgetting that some hackers don’t actually act maliciously.

  Also, yes, some hackers are ethical and do care. Not you, obviously. But some.
