Charlie

That’s been happening for a long time, though. That anyone was upset by Charlie Hebdo massacre in 2015 was framed by the idiot left as “Islamophobia” and that sentiment was widely dispersed across the mainstream press.

To the modern moron left and most of the press, Muslims can do no wrong, including mass slaughter and gang rapes. And if you have any objection you are then branded an Islamophobe. But I’m not an Islamophobe; I am an enemy of Islam.

In Liu Of

And the thing is, hardly anyone was sexualizing Alysa Liu — just noting that she’s extremely attractive due to both her looks and (even more so) her personality.

Nearly all of the time (including this one) that this sort of complaint comes from a woman, it’s just intrasexual competition playing out and is safe (and best) to ignore.

Wil is right; it’s totally normal to find attractive people attractive. My god, that this even has to be said is fucking ridiculous.

Cousin

Is it possible to like your niece or nephew more than your own child?

Probably.

I liked a cousin of mine a lot better than my own sister when we were all kids. Terrible story, though, in so many ways.

My cousin was in fifth grade when he died. And no one in my own damn family bothered to tell me, nor any teachers. For weeks I wondered where he was in class. Yes, I did ask, but no one would provide any sort of answer. I tried to call his house but the phone just rang and rang.

Then I found out (by overhearing it at a family reunion) that he had been hit and killed by a tractor-trailer. And that it probably wasn’t an accident — he’d likely committed suicide. My family was embarrassed about how he died and that no one had helped him is why they were all hiding it.

I made a huge stink about not being told, and refused to speak to anyone (and I do mean anyone) in my family for weeks until they just stopped giving me food or lunch money. After I starved for nearly a week (while bumming some food from a few friends) and was getting too weak to walk far, I ate again.

And started speaking to them again. I never forgave anyone for that, though, and I am still bitter to this day about it.

Jason was a good kid who also got fucking destroyed by North Florida and the violent, bullying culture there. Not everyone is strong enough for that hell. I barely was.

Go There

Every single “feminist” who has ever celebrated hijabs or burqas or claimed they were in any way feminist should be forced to go live in Afghanistan.

There is no other good solution.

My view is that the answer to "why are people often unhappy in modernity" is actually pretty clear and isn't anything especially ideologically satisfying.

Certainly, language-equipped AI models will give bad advice… but at what point will they, on average, cause less harm than the average physician? Probably now.
