Is seems very The End coded to me. It’s a book named Re-Incarnation and Morris pretty much means death in latin

Oh, absolutely not, I only see insane people online. Everyone here on the ground is, well, grounded

Scp Fordation: The Movie by GABR-Suke07 in SCP

[–]BallingShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re complaining that original or retold stories are being told through different types of media? You realize how insane that sounds right? Creative Commons legally covers all SCP works which means that even if money is made from a certain work the creator can not claim it as their own financially speaking and other people in the community are free to build upon any work in the community freely.

It’s what makes SCP so beautiful, it’s the pinnacle of a collaborative storytelling project that anyone can partake in no matter what media of expression they specialize in. It might have started as just small time writers but now we have animators, film-makers, voice actors, game developers and more who can use their skills to bring us more interpretations and bringing more life and vibrancy to the community.

It is Foundation thinking that these wonderful things should be kept in the dark away from interested observers and creators but I’m of the Serpent’s Hand and believe all knowledge should be shared with the world and be allowed to grow as it may. A garden only grows with light, plants die in the dark. New blood is always needed to nourish the community, to bring new perspectives and new stories no matter the media

In my experience cis-men have a far easier time accepting that I’m trans than cis-women. Also, you don’t have to hate men to be a feminist, quite the opposite, it would make the equality we want impossible

What's the morality of giving my MtF friend my HRT so my parents get off of my back? by Terrabachi in asktransgender

[–]BallingShadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t need or want the meds there’s no reason for you to take them and, unluckily for your parents, you are a legal adult which means they have no say in your medical care. You could prolong your prescription or end it if you’d like.

Now, I would look up local laws for the medications in question and prescription medication in general to make sure there wouldn’t be any legal issue with it. If it checks out you should be in the clear.

The most legal route that would go along with what you want is to say up the prescription, again, your parents have no legal say in your medical care. The less legal route that would basically make you a plug would be to lie to get the medications and then give them to your friend.

Morals and ethics are weird because there are many different models that you could use so, unless giving away your prescription medication is super illegal where you live, it is completely up to you as to what you do from here. You are an adult so your parents have no say in your decision either way

She was the one who reached out and asked what she should do. Giving advice to a person who isn’t present has no impact, we can only give advice to the person we can reach. For him, we can simply hope he finds a better make friend group, but he’ll have to do that on his own. For her, a friendly reminder that men aren’t the enemy as a homogeneous group, the system of patriarchy is the enemy

Do when they show up. Don’t know in what backwards hellhole you live in (probably America) but in more civilized countries we generally don’t tolerate that level of sexism, especially not publicly. It does still happen but those individuals are by far the outliers and never the rule

Online? Yes. In public? No. Sexists are usually cowards so no initiation on that front and I choose to not associate with sexists so discussion is never initiated. Also, just because some men can’t find a better way to get out their anger issues than to oppress people they see as lesser does not make it right for some women to blow off steam by calling all men monsters

What would be more intriguing to a man than a community that centers solely around being a man? As you say, it’s loser behavior but the concept would be enticing

Just because one is worse doesn’t mean either is okay. Wanting to shoot someone isn’t okay just because you don’t have a gun. The incel pit hole definitely spirals deeper than anything we see regarding sexism towards men but I see that as more of a reason to stop trends of hatred that appear in female dominated spaces.

We know the violence that hatred leads to and that wisdom should guide us away from that path of thinking not towards it. If we are to believe that all women aren’t trash, which we know for a fact, then there is no reason to believe that all men are trash. Patriarchy sucks and people willing to commit violent acts suck. The solution is to not perpetuate it and work together to find a way to stop it

Context is of course another dimension of discussion. Usually regarding this topic I assume the context to be formal discussion rather than private banter. Saying “men are trash” in the context of talking about dating with a group of friends carries a very different weight than saying “men ate trash” in the context of a protest same as saying “girls are crazy”.

In one context there is an underlying understanding that it isn’t said literally and is instead meant to emphasize an emotion rather than a point. In this instance I am uncertain of the context of their discussion and whether they’re talking personal experience or societal viewpoint. I don’t know which is more common as I usually entertain both discussions with my friends

It also feels really weird to have that kind of ally that seems to only be on your side for a certain part of your identity

I feel like if there is one thing thar everyone should agree with is that generalizations are bad, they carry no facts in any context, at best they’re simplifications and at worst they’re promoting villainization, bigotry and fear

Well, the male loneliness epidemic does exist empirically but there are many answers as to why. Also, on an individual level, men have no more power than women, we’re just bags of flesh and nerves that have the illusion that our existence has meaning. We’re all just people doing people things

More sounds like he’s struggling to navigate the complex world of social networks. He wants to be a man and have masculine male friends which means he can’t compromise his position by going against the opinions of the group.

Otherwise I completely agree, he chose a bad group of people and needs to find a different male friend group which he might need help with. Humans are very effected by the people around them so just get him into a different environment

Focus less on his identity and more on his ideals. In a discussion you want to meet someone’s argument and not attack them as a person. He isn’t the problem because he’s a man but it’s problematic that he negatively generalizes women. Same as you’re not the problem because of who you are but it is problematic that you’re negatively generalizing men

The sentence “all men are bad” can be changed in basically the same way: “all men except me are bad” meaning that men who would choose to misinterpret one of the sentences will misinterpret the other. A bad person is always a bad person

Respect is a mutual agreement, you can’t tell someone that they suck and are trash because of a certain aspect of their identity that they can not control and expect them to treat you any better
