gays who dates gays who look exactly like them are bearers of a fully-actualized daemonic wholeness that the rest of the world fears The death drive points towards an unbroken circle, and then, ouroboric, reduces to infinite and infinitesimal wisdom --- two is not, because one is all, the Monad on Earth. The Longing is Over. the love they feel is too pure for this world You sneer at them because you are broken and have forgotten how to love your own beauty
Parents: "children should be taught that actions have consequences"
Okay, let them stay up till 5 in the morning and feel like shit for the next day, eat a bag of candy in one go and have a huge stomach ache, go out without an umbrella and catch a cold, watch a violent movie and get scared?
Parents: "actually, we mean screaming and beating the crap out of them when they try to do these things"
this is the shit that my mom did to me and it actually worked
if you scribble on your toys with marker, you're gonna have scribbled toys, and they'll be ugly. if you break your toys on purpose, you wont get new ones. if you refuse to get dressed in the morning, then you'll be dragged to school in your pajamas. if you don't clean up your room, i wont come tuck you in.
it worked a hell of a lot better than being screamed at.
That's not better, actually.
Children should be allowed to draw on their stuff without it being considered ugly and break it without that being a reason to not buy them anything. Safe destructive actions are necessary for development. That's part of what toys are for.
And nobody should be dragged to school, period.
What you're talking about aren't consequences, it's still punishments created by adults.
Sodomit missing the point
This is exactly the kind of thing you were talking about
Children should be taught that it’s a bad idea to scribble on their stuff, or at the very least, that if they do something to their toys, they’ll have to live with it
And by law they have to go to school, there’s no getting around it
Some things don’t have easy natural consequences. And some consequences do require your active participation in order to stick
Let them play in the road, car hits them, they’re dead,
let them stay home from school, they won’t mind it, they’ll play games all day, but then they’ll grow up badly socialized and undereducated and by then it’ll be too late
Let them be disruptive and silly all the time in all scenarios, and they’ll be happy about it, but eventually they’re going to grow up a weird person who embarrasses themselves in ways that make their life subtly worse even if they can’t pinpoint it to a specific event
There’s this folk belief that all children have an innate desire to learn and will teach themselves if put in the right environment
This does not hold
School and pedagogy in general need to provide structure, discipline (in the self-regulation and work ethic sense) and a measure of constructive boredom in order to foster development
You’re going to have to make your kids do some things. Natural consequences work well, they do not apply to everything. They’re useful as example scenarios when the risk is low. I’d also advise that you talk to your child about the natural consequence after they are done, how they feel about it, and what they’ll do in the future
Develop a habit of explaining the reasoning behind rules, let them face the natural consequence iff they push hard for it and you have used your judgment in balancing cost/benefit. have meta-conversations with them about the necessity of explaining rules to build trust such that trust can be exercised when there’s no time to explain, and they’ll develop a heuristic of listening to your advice without resentment
that one "how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man?" meme except it's marx saying it to hegel
IT KEEPS HAPPENING
in case it wasn't already obvious any "scientist" who says this shit is an absolute charlatan who should be completely discredited. the reason "mainstream science" (read: science) has "operated under the assumption of physicalism" is that physicalism is a necessary prequisite for any real science at all. if you reject physicalism you are not just rejecting "mainstream science" you are rejecting the very premise of science in favor of mysticism.
Do not ever let reddit psyop actors tell you that contacting your representatives doesn't do anything because when both of my Democrat senators voted yes to confirm some of Trump's cabinet picks last year, many of us emailed them and asked "What the entire fuck?" and they listened. One voted no and the other abstained (not great but at least not a yes) for Markwayne Mullin (Trump's DHS pick). I am now emailing the 'no' voting Senator to thank him, and emailing the other to express concern but also thanking him that it at least was not a yes.
Contact your reps. Do not listen to people saying it doesn't work.
It's annoying how unintuitive volumes are. Like I order three tons of gravel, which sounds like it would be a lot, but then I see it sitting on the driveway and it's not that much. But then I have to move it and it's so much, but then it's moved to its final location and it's not that much.
You ever tried to move $500 in quarters?
Sure, I pick up a 100$ bill, a 20$ bill, and a 5$ bill. They’re light
I do it three more times, also light
Very Easy!

I was thinking last night that the sketch show format might work great for pornography. Probably pornography in general is insufficiently developed in our culture.
So you have a fixed or rotating cast of porn stars that act out scenarios tied together by a framing device that lets us grow attached to them as personalities? I could see that working
was gonna make a post scratching my head over how come the state of discussion surrounding marginalized identity and accountability on here has become so goddamn infuriating to sift through but genuinely i think it's cause white marginalized people on this site sincerely believe their oppression on different axes innoculates them against participating in any form of bigotry especially racism. it literally all boils down to that
I don’t think any of them think that, but they sure do act like it. ‘Smol bean’ behaviour
Do you have any examples of this?
Bro wtf I had to check if this was real
She was a labour/"leftist" zionist btw
I profoundly dislike this woman, but I think it is disingenuous to present a paraphrase as a quote.
The closest I found to her actually saying that is:
"When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us."
Golda Meir - A land of Our Own, an oral autobiography (1973)
Thanks for the full quote, it actually makes her far worse.
How so? It’s the same sentiment but she’s saying that it’s harder to forgive, rather than impossible to
The real odious thing is the implication that the Arabs are so cartoonishly hateful that they prioritize hating Israelis over loving their children, which is a specific claim she is making which frames her beliefs and provides context for why she thinks they had to kill their children in the first place
Instead of “we hate the arabs” it’s “we believe the arabs hate us”, which is a falsifiable claim, and more open to be argued against. So how does the evidence stack up? Tell me your thoughts
funny how "unrelenting" and "relentless" are the same word

Both words mean “lack of relent” this is fine and not strange at all

in Finland, it is illegal to kill a bear when it’s hibernating. If you ask a hunter why that is, a number of them will tell you it’s wrong simply because it is the law, and they don’t make a distinction between what is right, and what is legal. Most people like that are perfectly normal, decent and respectable people, just like the rest of us.
But if you ask people who think about things, the answer is vague. Killing a hibernating bear would just feel… impolite? You can’t fucking shoot a man when he’s sleeping, that’s just fucking rude. It’s just not the right thing to do.
Long before hunting laws were established in Finland, you couldn’t kill a sleeping bear, and what commands you is something older than law: tradition. Even at a time when hunting was a matter of life and death, and a bear fighting for its life is mainly a matter of death, you just didn’t kill a hibernating bear, you have to wake it up first. Hunters risked their lives, the lives of their brothers and everyone in the hunting party, who were friends, family and men that they loved, to give the bear a fighting chance.
In the modern time, the hunting season of bears is in the summer, for the warmest summer months. There are many reasons for why they are allowed to tread safely in autumn and to sleep in peace through the cold months, almost all of which are rational and scientific, and do not touch the old traditions.
Old faith says a living thing has many souls - henki, luonto, itse. Plants only have one - the one that wills them to grow. Animals have two, both the spark of life and nature that enables them to act. A human being also has the third, one that makes them a person, personality, itse, literally “self”. But the soul that travels in your dreams is not the soul that defines a human - animals have that one as well. When your dog runs in her sleep, her soul is elsewhere, where a dog is needed.
One’s waking soul is elsewhere when they sleep and dream. A bear’s soul is somewhere else when they are hibernating - there are two words for “hibernation” in finnish, one of which is talviuni, “winter sleep”, and that is the one that bears have - and if you kill a sleeping bear, their soul is not in the body, it is still out there, and it can find you, and as a revenge for killing its body, Ghost Bear will kill your entire fucking family.
A small addition: bears, as omnivorous mammals who sometimes walk on two legs, were also considered about one measly step removed from humans – enough like us to be kind of kin.
And as much as you wouldn’t stab your fellow human in their sleep, you wouldn’t stick a spear into a sleeping bear. And in case the bear hunt was successful, you’d hold a (drink-laden) wake for the bear to see its spirit off into the afterlife just as you’d do for a deceased human.
Also I have a very vague recollection of a myth about Finns (loosely defined) being descended from a bear ancestor, and how the wake celebration for a bear might include a symbolic wedding of the bear spirit to a young girl. More folkloric-minded people with actual references, please do weigh in on this!
Wow what a dumb law
Someone should change that
Have fun living in ecological collapse when all the bears are hunted to extinction, then.
Well it makes perfect sense to have laws that restrict when near hunting season is, avoiding hunting them in the fall or winter, but that importantly would already cover the parts of the year when they are hibernating
So if the law is just about hibernation it’s redundant
If there’s specifically a law against killing a regular sleeping bear during hunting season, that’s dumb
I don’t think they have that anymore
But the old timey people who had to wake up a bear before they killed it to avoid ghost bears
They were dumb!
They risked their lives for no reason, people probably were killed! I feel bad for them! Dumb cultural belief! Glad no one believes it anymore!
“No one believes it anymore” transparently incorrect, as evidenced by this thread.
Well, in a better world…

Maybe I'm crazy here but it feels like there's an 'SCP effect' in lots of internet-based horror/fantasy writing? Where even stories that are trying for a more earthy, old-world feel find their prose full of words like 'protocol', 'incident report', 'civilian', etc? Based on the implicit assumption that if a masquerade-like conspiracy exists it's going to look a lot like the CIA and/or a shady tech/weapons company. Can't remember where I read it but there's something similar going on with cultural portrayals of heaven and hell, where it's gone from "haha, wouldn't it be funny if the Afterlife was run like a corporation with meddling middle-managers and quarterly revenue targets and stuff?" to a kind of default setting because we as a society kind of...don't have the language anymore for the exercise of power outside of a bureaucratic, hierarchical, corporate-inspired context?
Anyway, it's something I suspect I'll be weeding out a lot of in my revisions.

Do you have a real evidence-backed argument for why the BITE model and the concept of 'cults' is a conspiracy started specifically so parents could control the religious beliefs of their adult scions?
Did you forget about that?

None of this is obscure knowledge; I recommend DuckDuckGoing "anti cult movement." Wikipedia has a decent overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-cult_movement
Family-members of adherents Some opposition to cults (and to some NRMs) started with family-members of cult-adherents who had problems with the sudden changes in character, lifestyle and future plans of their young adult children who had joined NRMs. Ted Patrick, widely known as "the father of deprogramming," exemplifies members of this group. The former Cult Awareness Network (old CAN) grew out of a grassroots-movement by parents of cult-members.[13] The American Family Foundation (today the International Cultic Studies Association) originated from a father whose daughter had joined a high-control group, and other parents concerned about young adult offspring populated the American Family Foundation's membership.[14] Clinical psychologists and psychiatrists From the 1970s onwards some psychiatrists and clinical psychologists accused "cults" of harming some of their members.[15][16] These accusations were sometimes based on observations made during therapy, and sometimes were related to theories regarding brainwashing or mind control.[17]
"Did you forget about that?" I mean probably, I have 133 drafts because I only write long/complex/sourced posts when I'm on my laptop.

I’ll take a look at all of this
I'm at best lukewarm on TADC and to an extent frankly... this is what you get when you cultivate this audience? I think the unfortunate reality is that if you make a show about zillenial kids shows and internet kids show you're going to get people who only care about the surface level and who are really emotionally immature.
you needed to have a "piss faggot" moment in the pilot if you wanted to tell a story about flawed, even bad people. Which is clearly what TADC is about, in the end. You can't have your piss faggot moment in the final 2-3 episodes!
