Me: -so after it became apparent that ‘retarded’ had become a term of abuse, educators and psychiatrists switched to other terms like ‘handicapped’ or ‘special needs’ in an attempt to -

George Orwell, whom I’ve dragged forward in time with my arcane powers because I’m lonely and want someone to talk to: You have a telephone in your pocket?  It listens to you all the time?

Me: Never mind about that, the point is, young people now mock each other by sending the wheelchair emoji - that’s a type of electronic heiroglyph - to suggest mental deficiency and shout SPESHUL!!!! while doing offensive imitations of disabled facial expressions and posture.  So any attempt to lexographically make crimethink impossible is pretty much doomed because the meaning of words in everyday conversation can’t be controlled by a dictionary entry, no matter how many Ministry of Truth employees-

Orwell: It reports your location to the telephone company at all times?

This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen

[dragonzzilla]

There were once three brothers who desired the same woman. Each of the brothers wanted to win her heart, so each of them went out and found a gift.

The first brother presented a bundle of rare flowers. “I saw these and thought of you, as you are both beautiful.”

But the woman turned him down. “You are most flattering, but beauty is fleeting. These flowers will not remain beautiful forever, and nor shall I. That you thought first of my beauty is telling, and you would not make a good husband.”

The second brother presented a fresh kill. “I have slain this beast as proof of my prowess. So long as you are my wife, you shall not want for food or warm pelts.”

But the woman turned him down. “You are indeed skilled, but there is pride in your heart. That you thought first of me as a possession is telling, and you would not make a good husband.”

The third brother presented a knife. “I made this for you. It is simple and unadorned, but I can vouch for its edge. It is a tool and a promise. You can use it to defend yourself, and I ever become a threat, then I can only blame myself.”

The woman, nodding, accepted his gift. “You are humble, and acknowledge that things may change between us. That you give me the means to succeed, come what may, is telling, and you would make a good husband.”

She married the third brother, and for the time they remained together, they had more good times than bad, until they parted amicably.

What gentiles imagine vs. what Jews actually are

Culturally Christian Gentiles: The Judeo-Christian concept of original sin

Jews: Huh?

Culturally Christian Gentiles: The Abrahamic religions’ belief in heaven and hell

Jews: Say what now?

Culturally Christian Gentiles: The Judeo-Christian religions emphasize obedience over asking questions and debating ideas.

Jews: *spit coffee laughing*

[jewishdragon]

I’ve seen some people confused about this:

Judiasm has no concept of original sin, we have mitzvah and averah (good deeds and transgressions. You cannot be born with transgressions you must personally commit them, they are actions). No concept of heaven or hell, merely a world to come. “A” singular world to come. We do have a sort of, i guess “purgatory” the maximum time spent there before proceeding to the world to come is 11 months Judaism is founded on fist fighting G-D and debating every aspect of our scriptures (which we have been doing for millennia) 

[hachama]

Also! The purgatory concept/world to come are not central to Jewish life in the way that wanting heaven and fearing hell appear to be central to christianity.

Judaism: the purpose of life is to live a good life and perform mitzvot

Christianity: the purpose of life is to go to heaven when you die

Biiiiig difference.

dear Americans very concerned and angry about the concentration camps your government is running:

you should be angry, you should be furious, you should do everything and anything you can to shut them down.

but here in Australia, we've had concentration camps for refugees for nearly 25 years. we've protested and petitioned and yelled, but the government was 'clever' and put them offshore, away from the mainland where we can't reach them, can't storm them. then they banned journalists from going. then they banned doctors.

the only time mainstream news tends to report on the "offshore detention centres" is when yet another group of children try to commit suicide.

yes, the Australian government has concentration camps for people fleeing warzones, and the people in those camps are tortured so bad that the children try to kill themselves.

Americans, I hope you manage to close your governments camps, by law or by force. maybe when you're done, you can turn your attention to us? we could use some loud international outrage from a western ally, the government might care. the public has spent 20 years trying and failing.

non-Australians, please spread this information. I don't think many people know internationally, except the island nations we pay to host our camps and keep quiet.

one of the most amazing things that has been said to me in therapy is that self esteem doesn’t exist.

and that floored people and the psych went onto say that what she meant was that self esteem is a concept that actually includes a vast array of things and labelling them all as one thing is really limiting and prevents actual improvement

you could have real strong pride in the things you create and hate your body

you could hate your creations but also want to share them with people

you could not hate yourself at all but not take care of yourself, engage in reckless self endangerment

thats all bundled under ‘self esteem’ but saying ‘i need better self esteem’ doesn’t mean anything

whereas if you say ‘i need to work on ways to keeping myself safe, refusing to act on destructive urges’ or ‘i want to be in a place where i believe compliments trusted people give me’

thats concrete, thats a goal.

having it said in therapy helped a lot of people in my group stop saying ‘i have low self esteem’ and start specifying about the actual issue they have
