"After you defeat your enemies, you cannot spare their children or they will come for you once they're grown, and the cycle of revenge never ends." Yeah duh, if you're just gonna leave them there?? No shit they'll hunt you down and avenge their parents.

What you're gonna do is take them in and raise them as your own. Don't lie to them what happened, or try to hide it from them; explain why it happened. Why you really, really had to do that. Because if you can't raise someone to trust you and your judgement after killing their parents in cold blood right in front of them, then maybe you are the villain that they grew up to see you as.

Pretty sure the UN calls both of those genocide.

[homunculus-argument]

Why and how are you enemies with an entire ethnicity? That's pretty racist.

You have to make them suffer or people freak out. Whenever I write a story where things are pretty chill, the discord is full of people tearing their hair out looking for the Secret Fucked Up Part that's festering beneath the surface and will erupt at any moment.

[selfshard]

That's because you keep writing Fucked Up stories. If you made a name writing Chill Stories, this wouldn't be happening.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Child of a Wandering Star was very chill! The Void Behind has been extremely chill so far!

They don't need arms and legs! It's practical!

Friendly unfriendly reminder that "Ovulation is like an animal being in heat and makes you stupid" has been a keystone of western misogyny pretty much since Europe worked out what periods are.

you use ai baby pictures i use stupid gifs that don’t fit the situation we are not the same

gotta be honest I think a REAL juicy dynamic is when someone has a True Love and a Soulmate and they are two different people

[nat-20s]

see this person is the love of my life I would follow them anywhere every day is brighter for having them in it. and THIS bastard shares a soul with me we'll find each other in every universe and understand each other in ways no other living being could. neither of us are particularly thrilled about this

it’s never a normal temperature anymore it’s always some fucking bullshit

[rosslynpaladin]

I need you young people to know it was almost never this hot when I was a child. Millennials and Gen Xers are all nostalgic and excited about summer because it was about ten to twenty degrees cooler to experience it back then!

I cannot express to you how FAST it has gone. I grew up in a world that does not exist now. We're starting on the path to reverse it, globally. You might not know how much solar has EXPLODED in the last decade or two. It's gone from a side thing, a weirdo novelty that was just Not Viable... to whole countries investing in infrastructure. but we have to keep fighting big oil and fascism everywhere we can in order to keep on this road to a new better less scorching burning earth.

But any time you wonder wtf the weather is doing- THIS IS NOT NORMAL, NO. THIS IS NOT WHAT IT WAS EVEN TWENTY YEARS AGO.

Game where the ancient hero is awakened from the deathless sleep of centuries in the hour of their people's greatest need, only to find that civilisation is thriving and there are no obvious threats on the horizon; the game then becomes a fish-out-of-water detective sim as they try to figure out what woke them up, and also solve other, smaller mysteries along the way.

Hey, did you know archive.org has a bunch of free 90s shows you can stream?

The problem is finding them, since no one's organized them all in one place with covers and episode info. I'm trying to fix that with my new website.

It's in BETA right now, and all the content was just added today, so I've barely scratched the surface of what's out there.

People on all political sides be like "art is meant to inspire emotions in people:) UNLESS that emotion is sexual, then no matter what the art is it becomes NOT art. it's now 'just' porn and it's morally disgusting and you're a bad person for writing/drawing/producing/etc it. How dare you. That's not art, horniness is the ONLY human feeling that's evil and immoral to indulge in with art, it's IMPOSSIBLE, this feeling is always and only disgusting and impure and if you make ANYTHING in this realm we'll judge you as a lesser creator" and when you ask why this one human experience makes the exploration of it in media "no longer art" they only have puritanical/religious excuses phrased in different ways

the new season is upon us so i would just like to bring back the single most legendary thing any anime has ever put out

[strangesmallbard]

ultimately i think some white people feel so guilty for being white that blaming jews for whiteness becomes a pressure release valve. if there’s a worst white person than you out there you don’t have to untangle guilt from your politics. you can pass along the shame & guilt and walk away clean. something something cultural christianity

i just like. need all gentiles to understand how deep antisemitism runs in many societies & cultures today. i’m starting to refrain from saying “it’s easy to not be antisemitic” because it’s truly not that easy. but i am asking you to try

For anyone wondering, the PhD student's name is Myra Cheng.

Here's a link to an article about the study from the Stanford Report: link.

[chapscher]

Across three preregistered studies, participants interacting with sycophantic AI became more convinced of their own rightness and less willing to repair relationships. Yet at the same time, participants rated sycophantic AI models as higher quality, more trustworthy, and more desirable for future use, which may explain why this behavior has persisted despite its harmful impacts.

I want you guys to know I think the phrase “beats walkin” every single day. Like whenever times get tough or when I have to make do or whatever I’m always like well. Beats walkin. It keeps me going I want it on my gravestone after I pass

[dragon-in-a-fez]

under US law, it's illegal for anyone who's not a member of a recognised native tribe to own an eagle feather. the penalty is a $100,000 fine.

14 years ago when I had recently moved to Alaska, I went hiking with an Aleut friend, and she pointed to a feather lying on the ground and said "hey that's a bald eagle tail feather, you should grab it!" and I was like "uhh I'm very white and that's very illegal" and she went "they're fuckin everywhere up here man. I have 20." so she grabs it off the ground and hands it to me and says "there, now it's a ceremonial gift from an indigenous person."

and I'm like, okay, cool, I guess this is how we do things in Alaska. nice.

so I keep this bald eagle tail feather around for years. display it in my home among other cherished memorabilia from places I've lived and visited, etc.

on a whim, I have just now looked it up. there is no exemption to that law for a ceremonial gift from an indigenous person. the last 7 years I lived in the US, I was technically a bald eagle poacher.

probably a good thing I don't intend to move back there anytime soon. I wonder what the statute of limitations is on bird crimes.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

@freedomisscaryshit I'm fucking dying I think you forgot the word "feathers" in your tags?? or do you just wish you could grab whole ass eagles that land in your yard??

[emotional-support-husband]

As an Indigenous person, it continues to astound me that there are such strict laws (written by White people) in our name, laws against...picking up things just found on the ground. Like, stop pretending this is "for" us. We don't want this.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

so, for clarity, that's not what this is. the law against possessing feathers is an anti-poaching measure, derived from a North American treaty protecting certain migratory bird species from hunting. that treaty has an exemption for indigenous people to allow tribes that use eagle feathers in ceremonial or religious practices to continue doing so.

[chekhovs-raygun]

i used to collect feathers (illegally) as a teenager and the thing is that it's incredibly important for feathers from wild birds to be illegal to possess because it ensures that they never become fashionable to wear. the reason we passed the migratory bird act was because the american and european fashion industry was driving species to extinction in a timespan of years. not just decades. the ecological devastation of exporting birds for hats was absolutely insane and people were watching wetlands and forests and meadows just empty out in realtime. look at the wikipedia article for the plume trade.

the law against 'picking feathers up off the ground' means that you can't go shoot an eagle then sell the feathers on etsy by saying you 'just found them'. you can't own them no matter where they came from, which makes sure that they're not going to come from any birds killed and then secretly disposed of.

these laws, as harsh and ridiculous as they seem, saved flamingos, spoonbills, egrets, and all kinds of hawks and eagles from extinction. the minute these laws weaken and people can make money off killing them again, they're fucked.

[lizardlicks]

this is one of those "no actually this regulation exists for a reason" laws much like work place safety and building fire codes (that Republicans keep trying to roll back) and is written in blood just like them as well. it's just not human blood this time, and the fact that people actually cared enough about long term future over short term profit to get it put in place is nothing short of astonishing. That it didn't get put in place in time to save several species is heart breaking.
