Level 29 Artificer Human

So I found Aaron Bushnell's reddit and went through his comments/posts. That young man was well read and stable as they can be. Nothing in his writings pointed to someone who was "unstable" or "brainwashed".

He held leftist and anarchist ideals. He belong to the ACAB subreddit. He recognized the evil of the US Military even though he himself was apart of it. He hated TERFS and called out fatphobia. He understood the dangers of white supremecy and the evils of capitalism.

He had a cat. He liked the show fleabag and played elden ring.

Apparently in his will he wants to leave any money in his name to palestinian relief funds. He was trying to find a new owner for his cat.

Rest in power Aaron Bushnell. The world won't forget & we sure as fuck won't let the media paint you out to be some crazy conspiracy theorist who had no idea what he was doing.

The way kim k was allowed to wear Marilyn Monroe’s dress to the met gala is so infuriating both from a fashion conservation standpoint and a historical standpoint. Marilyn Monroe came from absolutely nothing and was super smart and was an advocate for minority rights and was on the fucking government’s communist watchlist and kim k thinks she has the right to wear her dress? And not only that but rich people shouldn’t just be allowed to wear historical garments whenever they want. It damages a garment that should be preserved by experts in a museum instead. Fuck off get hit by a car dumb bitch

Republicans built a Supreme Court that destroyed the legitimacy the Supreme Court.

Republicans do not follow laws or rules.

This is what you get with Republicans: chaos

This is why we kept calling on Biden to expand the court. With only 9 Justices, if a sitting president gets to put in just 2 or 3, then it can fuck up the court for a lifetime. We will be dealing with the corrupted presence of Barrett, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch for decades.

If the court were larger- 11 or 13 or 15, then it wouldn't be so disastrous if a shitty president got to put in a few shitty judges. It wouldn't have such an oversized impact on our *access to basic human rights.*

[wemblingfool]

Expanding to 15 justices would also make it more efficient. Divide them into three groups of five, and they can see three times as many cases as they can now with a single group of 9.

The other thing that would help is the imposition of term limits of ten years. It does not, nor should not be a lifetime appointment.

Even without expanding the court, a seat in the court would come open practically every year. It just wouldn't be nearly as valuable, anymore. In theory, no one would need to fight so hard to fill it. (Though I admit this part requires a logic I'm not sure the right is capable of, anymore)

ben?

[anachrennism]

so what he MEANT was, "I have been reliably informed that he, as a gay man, cannot opine on this, and you should have told him to shut up"

but what he SAID was

[jessalrynn]

I hope someone told Ben he bad-grammar’d himself into yet another place where he is NOT wanted.

[wemblingfool]

Like... This isn't even bad grammar. Bad grammar is usually still completely understandable to the intent of what they're trying to say.

This? This is being so bad at communication that you say something completely contrary to what you're trying to say, and borderline completely incoherent.

you literally aren’t old in your twenties idk who decided that but it’s bullshit. youre not even an adult until youre 18, what, do you have a 4-5 year window to (legally) do shit you couldn’t even do before and then you’re old and running out of time? you’re supposed to get your the tattoos and be done going to clubs or using tinder by the age of 25? that’s insane. you like just started

[blackwoolncrown]

“You’re old by 25”

No you’re a fresh adult by then. Your frontal lobe doesn’t mature til around 26. If you’re in your early 20s you’re literally just a juvenile human adult and the thing you think is “getting old” is actually maturing in the first memorable life shift you have after puberty.

The reason society pushes you to think that your prime is in your early 20s is because you are a ripe mix of “able to buy things” and “highly susceptible to manipulation” because you are both legally deemed an adult at 18 but also quite close to childhood (reminder: teens are children).

Capitalism loves how easy it is to whip you into a fervor over your identity and aim that at consumerism. At no other time in your life will you be so irresponsible (this is not a dig, you shouldn’t be expected to be super responsible at this stage), unprotected, manipulable by peer pressure, impressionable and impulsive. It tells you that being alive is a out being young and youth dies at 25 so you’d better hurry up and do all that cool stuff right now! Quick! Incidentally it all costs money! But hurry up and exhaust yourself before you’re too old!

….too old to fall for their shit anymore. That’s what they mean by “old”. Older. Wiser.

God, willing, your lifespan goes way beyond 30. You’re just getting started and they’re trying to convince you it’s over before you’re experienced enough to see through the bullshit.

Don’t fall for it.

Speaking as a Catholic: banning abortion is not pro-life, by pure measure of statistics.

Banning or restricting abortion does not stop abortions, nor does it significantly reduce the rates at which people seek it. What it does do is ensure more people die, whether from pregnancy related complications or from seeking out unregulated, unsafe methods of abortion or from any number of related factors. Not to mention the many grieving parents who will be wrongfully imprisoned for miscarriages and birth complications.

The solution to abortion, if that is what we supposedly seek, is not spending millions on self-congratulatory "marches for life" or lobbying for bans or political campaigning, but to invest in a society that actively addresses poverty, roots out racism and ableism, supports young parents, provides appropriate and comprehensive sex ed, makes medical care accessible, and ultimately addresses the root causes that motivate many parents to terminate a pregnancy. Suggesting anything less is often smug, self-serving bullshit.

Watch: George Carlin spoke the truth about pro-lifers in 1996 — and it’s still being proven today.

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.
