"All drugs are drugs" = a surprisingly radical position that will upset people right across the political spectrum

This means:

If you draw a hard line between "drug" and "medicine" based on current legality where you live (or any other criteria) you've gone wrong somewhere,

If you think legality and/or prescription status tells you all you need about a substance's capacity to do massive harm to someone's body, mind or well-being you've gone wrong somewhere,

If you think legality and/or prescription status tells you all you need about a substance's capacity to contribute meaningfully to someone's healing, function or happiness you've gone wrong somewhere,

If you think certain substances should be excluded from informed consent (either withheld or forcibly administered) you've gone wrong somewhere.

As the saying goes, the dose makes the poison. And the same applies when it comes to chemicals with the potential for abuse.

I'm fairly confident that I've never met a person who doesn't have ptsd. I think the division is really "people with ptsd that they can mask/manifests in ways that others can ignore" and "people whose ptsd can't be ignored by others so they're forced to begrudgingly acknowledge its existence"

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

"my cousin is the only one in our family with ptsd, he got attacked by a large dog and melts down at the sound of large dogs barking if he's already emotionally fragile" yeah and your mother shuts down at the sound of car engines that sound like her ex-husband's car, you just never noticed because you don't pay attention to her and she's been conditioned not to make her 'silly outbursts' anyone else's problem.

If you remember being a teenager you're a creep because you straight up saw yourself naked back then. The only way to be righteous is to obliterate your mind with drugs until you can't remember anything

Me making food for myself: Why must I be subjected to the torture of maintaining this mortal flesh. When will I be free of the trials of Sisyphean mundanity.

Me making food for someone else: yay! yippee! woo! yeah! hurray! yahoo! hurrah! yeehaw! woo!

[unpickled-olive-deactivated2025]

all the food classification discourse is phenotype-based and no more sophisticated than ancient greek zoology.

"pizza is a flat bread with toppings baked on"?

let me guess: you define a man as a featherless biped, don't you plato?

no, we need the taxonomical model. food evolves and adapts and descends. it fills niches that cause it to diverge from its ancestors and converge with other, unrelated species. unlike most animals, food is capable of horizontal gene transfer, making taxonomical divisions less linear.

american pizza (Focaccius rotunda) is descended from an italian baked flatbread dish. deep dish pizza (F. r. patina) is a subspecies of american pizza which evolved in the american midwest. it is taxonomically unrelated to common species of casserole in the area (and casserole is not a taxonomic category but a polyphleytic grouping, much like fish and crabs)

Just came home from a dinner party with the friendgroup at which several people kept saying "Ask Pedro" or "Pedro will know" and I was terrified that they were referring to an AI like Claude but no, thank fuck, they were referring to a cardboard cutout of Pedro Pascal that someone left upstairs and who has been designated a kind of patron saint status in the household.

Hal 9000 over on insta had some interesting things to say about the Champion Modern Pride piece...

(I am well aware that making fun of the Thing is still platforming the Thing. Since I've never actually made my stance on the Thing abundantly clear: Thing is bad, I have serious concerns over what it is doing to our planet and our species, and as a matter of principle I don’t use it at all in any aspect of my life or work.)

I’ve gotten sooooo spoiled by Murderbot Diaries fandom. TMBD fandom if you have a cool idea about SecUnit physiology or Preservation planetary worldbuilding or Corporation Rim political organization people are generally willing to go “oh cool! That’s a neat idea.” I s2g every time I post about Project Hail Mary and Eridian worldbuilding ideas I get someone going “um sweaty Andy Weir said that Erid has no problems and Eridians are perfect and anyway we don’t know how Erid works so your idea is wrong” yeah that’s why it’s called fanwork

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Listen I love Andy Weir's writing as much as the next person but I think we can all agree that he just didn't put that much thought into building Erid at all. I'm pretty sure that he knows exactly as much about the place as he thought absolutely necessary to put on the page to make them seem sufficiently alien-like. "He didn't write about their complex social problems" no shit the story wasn't about that. I firmly believe that Andy Weir has no clue whatsoever about how Eridian resource distribution works or the details of how their clusters operate beyond 'seminar that's also sort of a hivemind and Reaches A Decision' or how social roles and social status operate or anything. Eridian problems being absent from the story doesn't mean 'Erid is a utopia', it means 'this story is not about Erid'.
