More confirmation the world is right to see us as backwards. (US study)
So many sexual hangups. Makes sense considering we were founded by Puritans escaping to the new world to be more backwards and repressed.
Sex is a part of life. A massive part of the human condition. A part to be celebrated, not mourned or minimized. That’s how we get pedophile priests and sexual education summed up in “do not do it because it does not exist and you’re dirty for asking.” It’s not Gen Zs fault though, social media is designed to emphasize the darkest possible side of everything as it gets clicks, so sex as a concept is just a vector of potential trauma to them.
If only we had the same hangups about our violence boners our media gluts us on with abandon. Sports concussions, gory explosion movies, and our most celebrated exports tools of mass murder 😎👍. People giving one another physical pleasure 😱👎.
I’ve got an idea about homelessness. Do you know what they ought to do? Change the name of it. It’s not “homelessness”, it’s “houselessness”. It’s houses these people need. A home is an abstract idea, a home is a setting, it’s a state of mind. These people need houses; physical, tangible structures. They need low-cost housing.

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 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.
And they used that money as a cudgel to make political bribery perfectly legal in Citizens United, as if it wasn’t already rampant. They own this fucking place above board now.
We get a vote on how to, or if we even should address the social issue symptoms of our oligarch class rigging the economic game, ie who to blame or what to spend on the ever dwindling crumbs left for the Commons.
We don’t get a vote on the economy itself, that’s above our paygrade. From Pelosi to McConnell, “herp derp the free market we’re bribed to rig for capital is working just fine… For our portfolios! 🤣”

gold in the basement
It’s like the IDF wants to reinforce and feed horrible stereotypes about the Jewish people.
billions of inhabited star systems.
Suddenly that massive Galactic Senate Chamber seems cartoonishly tiny. Was the galactic Republic just a dictatorial empire to the high hundreds of millions of worlds/systems that didn’t have a senate pod from which to be heard/represented?
This is highly flattering.
It’s exceedingly rare that capitalists put human lives all the way up at the same level as currency.
To paraphrase Donald’s sociopathic idiocy…
I like generals who weren’t complete failures as generals.

societal collapse
Ah yes, that thing that has us laboring to chase meaningless plastic crap we’re brainwashed into needing instead of growing our own food and maintaining our own shelters as small, purposeful communities, all so the owners of this society can siphon our energy while poisoning the earth, all to live like wannabe gods above us.
No more penis Space tourist rockets? What a loss…
I’m not even Christian anymore and I’m embarrassed for them at how willfully, cartoonishly oblivious they are to the teachings they claim to want to enforce at the point of a gun.
A real christo-nationalist fascist would put a gun against your head and tell you to welcome and assist people from foreign lands! Give away what you don’t need to the less fortunate! Pay your taxes! And love your fucking neighbors like my brown skinned, middle eastern messiah who I embrace as my superior wants, motherfucker!
Capitalists, duh.
Climate scientists aren’t qualified because they don’t prioritize maximizing short term private profit, any expert that matters will tell you that is the only consideration that ever ought to be considered about any topic. That’s what makes them an experts to begin with, obviously.
This is a problem that needs to be addressed by respected business leaders that understand we can’t disrupt economic growth and quarterly earnings expectations for something as abstract as humanity’s medium to long term survival.
Civilization may collapse in 20 years from catastrophic ecological collapse, but there’s like 80 quarterly earnings calls between now and then, and if it does collapse, the only people that matter won’t be rich anymore when the glorious dollar is no longer valued, so nothing will matter anymore anyway, problem solved.
