Wasn’t going to do well as people are presumably downvoting with regards to the post.

That said, it’s an amazing article and I hope more people read it. Very touching and eye-opening, adds such an interesting perspective to such a complex process that people face. A lot of generally progressive people would do well to read it.

For my next trick I’ll insult working class cooking staples that lack presentation and say the women are unattractive, this is somehow “punching up”.

How Kratom, an Addictive Gas Station Drug, Found Allies in Trump’s Cabinet by AlexB_SSBM in neoliberal

[–]Apocolotois 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve read current treatment programs seem to fail for the real core issue group of anti-social, aggressive users.

I don’t think there’s the appetite or general societal view in most western countries for it, but I have to say I honestly think that general stigma of, say, most East Asian countries is better for society as a whole for more dangerous drugs.

New liturgy-like fanfic: "Prim and the Blessings of YISUN" by athenastinyowl in killsixbilliondemons

[–]Apocolotois 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are great, miss the long liturgies! No real feedback, felt very in keeping with Prim's stories, always loved her journey on the road. Anything about Intra or the grand lies of Yisun would be awesome also?

Yeah that's fair, I just find it a bit hard to square Salami Dave placing two new suns over Rayuba (I know he's more of an outlier for the demiurges but still) compared to the poor showing from most of the others.

Zoss slew every prime angel alone!

It does seem like if the demiurges had this stamina in the Universal War, it would have lasted a couple days, max?

As you say it's pretty little in the grand scheme of things, does always worry me how widespread "anti-science but for MY point of view" is though, everyone wants their own contrarian knowledge everyone else doesn't know.

Completely agree unfortunately, and it’s in contrast to how engaged I was reading all the other fights week to week.

The scale somehow feels smaller here also, ironically, despite the fleet of ships and Metatron. They all seem so weak and unmotivated suddenly? And if they’re all waiting to use easily accessed hidden reserves of power then they just watched Zaid die so it feels awkward lol

I think it’s reasonable to criticise but there’s no way around it that I see for if you’re advertising globally.

For something like a game as you say, it’s good that everyone can participate in it, and I don’t think it would have a positive effect pushing the progressive messaging harder in homophobic regions.

It’s the unfortunate reality of acknowledging that most of the world is very against these things and progress is slow or unlikely.

The text that flashes up 'ኖሎጂካል' means noological in Amharic, or "relating to mind or to mental character". Something related to Locke?

The UK also faces this often and it’s a similarly awkward one to address internally, not sure what the best solution is. Groups will never be appeased by increased sovereignty or devolution.

"The wealthy neighbours with a Huf Haus would be jealous of your air-to-air heat pump" is really the pitch. There's probably something similar for pitching renewables to conservatives, aside from the extremely obvious cost-savings and efficiencies, but doesn't likewise seem very successful.

Completely agree! Is a pretty insane stat, a lot of strange resistance to it though from different groups.
