So many comments, many of them wise and all of them heartfelt, and yet nobody has thought to add ...

the fridge-freezer is in the kitchen. Not only are there dishes every day, not only are there food preparation surfaces of various kinds every day, not only are there crumbs and odds and ends that fall on the floor every day ... but the fridge-freezer is in the kitchen. The oven is in the kitchen, the food cupboards are in the kitchen, and above all THE KITCHEN BIN IS IN THE KITCHEN.

I mean, it's not like the bathroom is all sweetness and light, but seriously! Who in their right mind is choosing the bathroom?!?!?!?

Ils sont fous, ces Romains tumblrains.

[sufficientlylargen]

Having a magically-self-cleaning bathroom would be cool, but it wouldn't dramatically change my lifestyle.

If I could cook or bake whatever the hell I wanted, knowing that all my pots and mixing bowls and baking sheets would just zap themselves clean when I finished? If I knew that I could spill batter or grease inside the oven or burn things onto baking racks and it would just go away? I would be making delicious shit constantly.

(shouting over the loud music to the guy next to me at a crowded bar) no no listen. there's two types of piss kink, okay? there's the wetting kind and the golden showers kind. the wetting kind is all about loss of control. desperation. it's about surrendering yourself to your irresistible physical urges. it makes pissing a submissive act. sit back down i'm not finished. the golden showers kind is about pissing as a dominant act. it's about degradation. objectification. turning a person with agency into something dirty to be used for relief. there's overlap between the two but both can be used to reinforce different power dynamics in bdsm contexts. where are you going

[punkitt-is-here]

i feel like i gotta remind people that im probably autistic more often? I'm really good at masking (i think) but there are points where I just don't see how someone arrived at a conclusion they did in reference to me and I feel kinda stupid

i think a lot of people online see me as always in quote retweet dunk mode for whatever reason and that im masking some sort of deeper, meaner message a lot of the time. i try to be very genuine and friendly and I don't like being mean and when I am i feel pretty awful about it, so, i dunno.

alright this isn't how just Anyone would behave in this situation but I'm humble enough to admit that there have been times in my life when I was doing badly enough that I'd probably also fumble it like this

Chat, is it considered “abusive roommate behavior” to release a raccoon into the living space after you have asked your roommate for months to please clean up their messes (they do not pay any of the mortgage)

[raccoonmilf]

For context, when I used to live alone I would do something called “Princess Time” where I would do an initial sweep (to remove any significant hazards) and then I would release a raccoon into the living area and clean. This helped because I would 1) feel like a princess and 2) the raccoon would bring attention to things my ADHD brain had decided to ignore and I’d quickly clean that stuff up.

So like, if I’m expected to clean the house now, I will be doing it in the way that is most effective for me. And anything that has not been cleaned up after months of having sit-down talks and sending reminders and being promised things will change, might be deemed “trash” by the trash panda and thrown away.

[raccoonmilf]

We haven’t done since we moved into the house, because I didn’t want to cause my roommate or their cats destress or have their things destroyed by a raccoon

[raccoonmilf]

I am a raccoon biologist and one of the few people in the state allowed to take in captive bred raccoons that had been possessed illegally. The raccoon in the photos is Moonshine, but she is currently at the animal sanctuary where I work as I had been quarantining multiple new intakes from an abuse case. I still have two males (Rum Tum Tugger and Electra) left in my home enclosure as we are getting them neutered and then hopefully sending them to an AZA accredited zoo.

I wanna make things very clear that underneath all the whimsy, I am a trained professional.

the makers of the long walk really said, “in one universe ray wins and in the other pete wins. neither of them see this as a victory and neither can end their walk because of what they’ve seen and endured. they’re inextricably linked and mirror one another and they will never be able to have a happy ending in any world. they will always both be dying and walking alone. hey why are you crying,” and i think that’s very cool of them.

There's something about atheism that I've repeatedly tried and failed to put into words on several posts on this blog but I think I finally got it.

Atheists are the only religious minority who, even (or sometimes even *especially*) in ostensibly progressive spaces are not allowed to ever act like they're sure of their beliefs.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Like I'm not even an atheist, I've considered myself an agnostic for as long as I've been able to articulate my own beliefs, but it's not lost on me how often atheists in leftist spaces are hit with rhetoric like this:

Why is it bad that atheists are 100% sure that no god or any higher power exists? I mean. That's what they believe.

Everyone else is allowed to be 100% sure in whatever belief they hold and express it, but atheists are held to the higher standard of constantly conceding that "yeah I *could* be wrong haha of course I'm not saying it's impossible for gods to exist I'm just personally unconvinced" because openly expressing any confidence on the certainty of their own beliefs will immediately be perceived as close-minded and invalidating everyone else's belief systems when like.

When you get down to it "all this shit is made up" isn't really a meaningfully more close-minded or invalidating position than "all this shit is made up except for this one, which is the real and correct one". Atheism is just held to a higher standard when failing to immediately back down and cede ground in any situation where it doesn't align with anyone else's belief system is inherently seen as a mark of close-mindedness and intolerance, a standard to which no other religious minority is ever held in these spaces.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

"Oh well it's because the New Atheism movement was shitty and Reddit Atheists™ were intolerant and-"

Okay so some guys were shitty about atheism in 2013. I have bad news about every single religious belief system on the face of our planet.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#if you cant acknowledge that New Atheism was a response against Bush-era Evangelicalism you are not qualified to talk about it

I was hanging out with American New Atheists at the time, and the main topics of discussion were stuff like "atheists should be able to hold public office" (not illegal but incredibly difficult in many areas because people flat-out would not vote for atheists and it was really hard not to be coerced into Christian rituals even if they could get in) and "the fact that they're trying to introduce legislation to ban teaching evolution in science class and give teachers who do it a criminal record, and instead teach 'Creation Science' (Christian Edition but they keep that part off the papers) is a bad thing actually". There was a LOT of political work going into protecting freedom of religion (including freedom from religion) in legal and educational areas. The evolution/creation science thing (and protecting the teaching of evidence-based science in general, as the evangelical position was that Empirical Science Is Evil, I'm not making it up they were straightup saying that and that science should be 'spiritually lead' and children had to be protected by giving them a spiritually led anti-empiricist science education until they were old enough to choose to go off and learn other science as adults) and a huge issue for a long time. Other common issues were same sex marriage, the right to abortion, and access to healthcare and sex education, all of which the evangelical political lobby opposed using religious justifications (although sometimes they tried to hide the explicit christianity of it, acting like 'it's a sin' is some kind of religiously neutral statement). The New Atheists were putting a lot of work into these causes.

Yeah a handful of youtubers found out that there were easy views in dunking on particularly stupid creationists, got high on their own popularity, and started randomly dunking on anything that looked easy to mock because they falsely believe they're smarter than everyone else and that gives them the right to be arseholes. Literally every movement has that. If you think there's not a handful of "feminists" on youtube right now making the trashiest possible dunk videos in the name of feminism then the youtube algorithm is protecting you. Everyone has these people. Fandoms have these people. But it's always easy to dismiss a whole demographic if you can find a couple of arseholes with a couple of catchy sound bites.

[comradesepsis]

A lot of people have a very weird view of what Science™ is. And a lot of people view atheism as basically being The Science Religion.

In the popular misconception of Science™, a true Science Believer must always be uncertain and willing to admit they're wrong. And I mean. That's sortof correct. It is true that one of the pillars of the scientific method is that if new evidence arises, we take it into consideration even if it contradicts what we thought we knew.

But that doesn't mean always tiptoeing around acting like we can't really know anything. There are plenty of things which are so well proven that the idea they're one day going to be disproved by new evidence is just...laughable.

People leverage this misconception to cast doubt on Science™ and make their pet fantasy look more credible. After all, if Science™ can't ever really know anything for sure, if the so-called "facts" can CHANGE, then they can't really say for certain that vaccines don't cause autism, or that global warming is real, now can they?

Now, of course, this argument isn't always made in bad faith. It's a pretty easy conclusion to come to that Real Scientists aren't ever sure of anything. Pluto was considered a planet once, after all. Science appears to change its mind all the time!

By extension, if atheism is The Science Religion, then they can't really know for sure that there is no god either, can they? Because Science™ can never know anything for sure! So all the atheists who claim they're CERTAIN there is no higher power out there aren't being very scientific, are they? They're just being smug!

Or, if you actually are arguing in bad faith, atheists' claim to certainty that there is no god actually proves that they're totally unscientific and Believing In Things Without Evidence the same way they accuse religious people of doing! They BELIEVE there's no god, which is the same-but-opposite as believing there IS a god, since you can't actually PROVE an absence of something! Checkmate, atheists!

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

If I say "I don't believe in the tooth fairy", nobody challenges me on that. Nobody is like "Oh you mean you're agnostic about the tooth fairy, right? You can't be SURE there's no tooth fairy. So you're saying you don't know if a tooth fairy does or does not exist. If there was suddenly proof of a tooth fairy then you'd believe in it, right? So you can't say you don't believe in the tooth fairy." I say "I don't believe in the tooth fairy" and everyone takes me at my word.

If I say "I don't believe in god", suddenly the idea of not believing in something is absurd and probably impossible. Even though my reasons for not believing in both things are the same and my level of certainty is the same.

[handageddon]

The issue is when atheism is considered its own religion, when it inherently is not.

And something else is that it does depend on what theology means to the atheist. For an English speaker, the concept of theology is inherently metaphysical, because Christianity is a religion that eschews physicalism as a negative thing. Mind body dualism and transsubstantiation are core aspects of it. Obviously its easy to point out all the ways this doesn't hold out in society but thats a different thing

This gets a little more complicated with religion that supports material ideology. Its one thing to be a catholic who smudges because God likes it, and to stop smudging when you stop being catholic, vs other cultures who smudge for hygienic purposes because they historically didn't have a lot of running water or whatever they were cleaning wasn't water fast. It gets plunked into the religion category because it superficially resembles other spiritual practices, but is it really?

Idk sorry if I'm critically failing this conversation by fumbling sapir whorf style but it's a hair I think is worth being pointed out. The whole concept of the English word theology is part of the issue
