you've met me at a very "yeah i'm trying to work on that" time in my life

I think one of the funniest abortion stances I've heard was from my parents neighbor. He's a like, hard-core libertarian viking larper guy who is very tall and very fat and very bald.

He believes a fetus is human with a soul, but also its "basically attacking the woman's body" so if she wants to get rid of it, that's "basically self-defense". He compared it to shooting a home invader. So he supports abortion not as healthcare, but as killing a baby in self-defense

Y'know I'm so glad someone reminded me of this. Because this was also discussed.

My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.

Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.

He brought up people consensually hurting each other, didn't go for one of the obvious answers like boxing or body mods or something, no he went STRAIGHT TO BDSM and he DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE ACRONYM

Read SIXN CH 2: Honest Reporting

[ID: A fake newspaper page showing an etching of Sherlock Holmes on a horse in the pose of Napoleon in “Napoleon Crossing the Alps.” Below this is a headline that reads “Honest Reporting” and an article by “A. Principled Journalist” The article is cut off but reads “A cynical detective shocked audiences this morning when he claimed that the act of narrative is inherently dishonest. Many question his assertion and are calling for him to retract the statement. One source stated that attempting to hold journalists and other writers to the standard of representing the absolute ontological truth is “a ridiculous endeavour that cannot be meaningfully… for a statement, his representatives stated ‘Mr… did not intend offense and believes the press to… most valuable institution.’ While some seem to be sated by this attempt a… many call for him to retract the original statem… to beg for forgiveness of the people who br… oh so valuable news.

big fan of when characters meet another version of themselves and their first instinct is to literally physically kill their doppelganger with their own two hands. which could mean absolutely nothing.

auto immune disorders happen when the immune system ignores regulatory factors and begins attacking healthy bodily tissues, due to what scientists refer to as "sheer love of the game"

I think it's actually essential to children's moral development to be exposed to short stories moderately beyond their reading level where a bunch of fucked up shit happens and then instead of offering a moral lesson or any sort of emotional or narrative resolution it just ends.
