WHY DID A GROUP OF WHITE MEN WRITE LAWS FOR PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE BORN HUNDREDS OF YEARS LATER WHY ARENT WE ALOUD TO CHANGE AND REVISIT THE CONSITUTION AS TIME CHANGES SHIT THATS FROM 300 YEARS AGO DONT APPLY TO TODAY THE FUCK

[systlin]

You know, Thomas Jefferson said that Americans should revisit the Constitution every twenty years and re-write from scratch as needed to reflect the changing needs of society. 

[systlin]

The reason for this, he said, was that he feared that Americans would not view themselves as stakeholders in the foundation document of US law, and therefore become divorced from the idea of their own self-governance, and that politicians from the President down would become ‘like wolves’. 

*Looks around at America in 2017*

Yeah he fuckin called that shit. 

[daveisverydeactivated]

having the oldest used constitution in the world is not a point of pride, its just fuckin lazy, lol

Hot take but like…. trans people like don’t have to disclose that they are trans if they don’t want to. Trans people can work with you, be friends with you, and yes, even flirt with you, and not have to tell you they are trans. Our existence doesn’t require a full disclosure agreement.

[bisexualgambit]

And furthermore, someone not disclosing that they are trans doesn’t mean they are any “less proud” of being trans that someone who doesn’t disclose that they are trans! So quite telling trans people they need to be out everywhere all the time (potential putting themselves in dangerous and uncomfortable situations) or they’re “ashamed” of themselves!!!

to add to this “humans are weird” thing did you know that humans are the only species on earth with the ability to throw things with any significant degree of accuracy and force (apes can throw with about the force of a human ten year old, but cant lock their wrists well enough for accuracy)

and we just never really think about it bc its so easy and simple to us that pretty much all of our sports are based around the concept of throwing things accurately

so what if the concept of projectile weapons takes most species FOREVER to get the hang of, or even come up with in the first place. a human goes onto a ship and throws some trash into the nearest reclaimer, shouts “kobe!” and all the other aliens on board absolutely LOSE THEIR MINDS

[questbedhead]

I definitely didn’t know this about humans but it’s actually really neat

[burntcopper]

‘This place needs a dartboard.’ *darts is explained* ‘You… throw sharp objects at a tiny point on a circle with the expectation of hitting it and mock those who do not achieve this amazing feat.’ ‘It’s better if you’ve had a couple of beers.’ ‘You insist that you’re more accurate when partially intoxicated. I have seen you intoxicated. Fine motor control is not something I associate with intoxication.’ ‘The one sport where doping is actually encouraged.’ ‘Humans. How. Just how. ’ ‘You think this is hard, try throwing cards.’

[jamyesterday]

I’m now super enchanted with the idea that there are all these alien racs out there that basically didn’t do projectiles until at least they had geometry and aerodynamics worked out– no throwing stones or slings and arrows, nothing range until catapults with some heavy maths calculations behind them because they couldn’t eyeball it. And some of them not even having that– going from hand-to-hand to computer-targetted bombs, pretty much. And then coming to earth and finding out about spears and bows and arrows and slings and skipping stones– and suddenly there’s a rush on their homeworlds of all these really bad pop-xenopyschoanthropology books about the effect of being able to kill at a distance on our pyschocultural development, how it effects our perception of ourselves and the universe - all these bad science, lurid explanations about how this has effected our strange alien minds to give us warped senses of territoriality or death or social-unit-bonding.

[a-method-in-it]

Fun fact: The ability to throw things the way humans can absolutely DOES impact our relationship with the universe — in fact, some researchers think that it might be the reason humans developed the complex social frameworks that also are probably the reason we are so intelligent (trying to navigate even basic human social stuff requires a lot of mental capabilities that are also extra amazing and that we take for granted, but I digress).

The theory is basically that once early humans/humans’ ancestors were able to throw things with force and accuracy, it created a dynamic in which a group could triumph over an individual. So if there was one member of the group who was stronger than the others, it wouldn’t matter so much, because the others could all band together and throw rocks at them and they couldn’t do anything about it. It created a dynamic in which cooperation became more important than individual strength. And thus human social capacity and all the amazing brain stuff that goes along with it, began to happen.

Or at least, that’s the theory.

Basically, humans are really weird and aliens would definitely be confused by us. Not just because we can throw things, but also, if you accept this theory, because we can easily imagine what other people are thinking and feeling and are very good at manipulating others to do what we want and all the other stuff that came after throwing things. It’s really cool. 

[mikkeneko]

Another theory I’ve read is that being able to throw is literally – literally –  neurologically linked to the ability to imagine yourself in someone else’s shoes. Like, same part of the brain that lights up.

They did a study on chimps, throwing, and neurological ability, and the one result that consistently showed up was that the most accurate throwers were also the ones who scored highest on empathy and the cognitive tests that measured their ability to imagine a scene from another observer’s point of view.

(This ability seems so natural to us that it can take a bit to realize that most animals can’t do it. There are various experiments with line-of-sight and concealed items and whether the animal does or does not recognize that other observers see a different picture from them.)

Awareness of another person’s mental universe and feces-pitching accuracy are the same thing in the monkey brain.

people really, really need to stop putting the word ‘yuri’ on lists of “bad and socially harmful words you shouldn’t use” alongside yaoi. as if the emtymology or connotations of those words is in any way similar

[smuganimebitch]

I’ve seen people say that ‘yuri is problematic, you should say shoujo-ai instead’ and i’m begging you to please, please reconsider your position there

please

[smuganimebitch]

yaoi: coined by doujinshi circles populated by fujoshis and refers exclusively to pornographic content. literally means “no point, no meaning”

yuri: coined by the lgbt community in Japan. refers to any kind of romantic or sexual intimacy between women, explicit or not. literally means “lily”

westerners for some reason: these are the same
