A lot of modern feminism wants women to simultaneously be treated as tiny little children and as flawless all-powerful goddesses. And those two things ain’t even remotely fucking compatible.
You can’t have your Barney the Dinosaur birthday cake and eat it too.
I like this too, but if you have photosensitive epilepsy, you gonna have about 500 seizures if you watch it.
Will have to add that to my list of good Halloween songs. Nice dark feel.
I think that is exactly right that traditional and feminist thought conflates women with children. That’s why the insane discourse that women can’t really consent until they are 35+, but a man is liable for anything even if he’s still underage (and thus, not yet a man). Double standards that should not be.
Foreign buyers are fleeing the U.S. housing market, with sales at a record low.
Good. Foreign buying is 95% related to money laundering so should not be allowed anyway without extensive vetting.
Anything I write myself is a great deal better than anything that AI can generate.
However, anything AI synthesizes is better than what 99.5% of people can put together. And that’s why it’s taking over the world. AI does not have to be good; it just has to be good enough.
I hate how books in a series don’t show which number of the series they are anymore.
This has long been the case. My mom was reading some book when I was a kid that she said was really hard to understand. Later on, she realized it was the third book in a trilogy. Nowhere was this even alluded to anywhere on the book itself.
I believe it’s a deliberately-deceptive practice that just continues to this day. The above incident would’ve been around 1984-1986.
I’ve never used TikTok. Never will. Too large a cognitohazard. I’ve seen vids from it re-posted on Reddit and watched a mid-20s friend of mine scroll through it over her shoulder. I said, “This seems like absolute hell.”
She said, “Yes, but it’s a very addictive hell.”
No thank you. Not for me.
If I had a daughter, I would not care if she was in an age gap relationship. Even a large one (15+ years). But I’d be worried if she were to date someone much smarter or much dumber than she was.
(I wrote “daughter” since everyone seems to think it’s fine if a 52-year-old woman is with a 20-year-old man, etc.)
Wisdom and intelligence have shockingly little to do with one another. Sometimes, I think they might be inversely correlated.
