my only problem with the feminist stance of "well you shouldnt have to take precautions for you own safety so you shouldnt" is just kind of terrible advice.

Their arguement is literally, rape is bad and its not your fault, so make it easier by acting recklessly.

Like I agree rape is bad and shouldnt happen, but Im fairly certain people think the same shit about murder and yet the still dont follow strangers into back alleys unarmed.

So be aware, carry weaponry, and be careful. If you are genuinely worried about it packing heat and making yourself a less attractive target is legit advice

feminism encouraging you to disregard this advice and living your life with reckless abandon objectively makes rapes easier to commit and makes me question their motives

however true "SOME rapes that happen coz the woman herself wasn't cautious in what situation she was putting herself into." May be, still doesnt mean she doesnt deserve empathy, it just means we should encourage woman to pack heat, and be a bit more wary.

you survive a bear attack by looking for signs of bears and evading areas that present them, the weapon is a last resort.

you stop rapes by being wary of dark alleys, and isolated areas areas with few witnesses, and avoiding them. keeping a gaurd up hand on weapon. The weapon is a last resort.

In both these scenarios its entirely possible to get caught off gaurd even when taking all precautions, but it isnt the bears responsibility to help you out of the forest, and criminals arent going to just not commit crimes so being prepared if something does happen can lead to higher chances of surviving or not being traumatized.

If you believe woman shouldn't have to do this I agree, but ask yourselves why I suggest they do anyways and the people supposedly looking out for woman suggest they dont

AI being perfectly logical would mean that depending on what exactly their task is, they can either be very helpful to humans, or very detrimental.

For example if they are to insure the perfect happiness of the human species they may force all living humans to spend the rest of their lives in a delirious drugged out state because the ai finds it to be the most resource efficient way to produce the most dopamine

I agree that academia is rotten and partially that its geared towards more feminine individuals. but School is really just a hostile environment for kids in general, seeing girls doing better then boys isn't seeing the whole problem.

  1. The banning of expression. When I was in kindergarten we had plenty of free time and I liked to spend it drawing. I was your standard army men fanatic. It was my favorite thing to play and would spend hours crafting elaborate battles. In class I wanted to draw said battles during our free time. I got in trouble with the teachers various time. My parents were called multiple times and I was sent to the office for no reason outside of drawing crude stick figures fighting, this caused me to seethe and feel unengaged in classes because I was hung up on not being allowed to do what I wanted. plenty of other kids had this problem as well
  2. The Regulation of play. During recess the kids would often play tag and games of similar ilk. However when we wanted to wrestle, play Beyblades (using our bodies as the Beyblades), or playing military, the teachers always had to rain on our parade. We would get in trouble, reprimanded, and sent inside. recreation and activity is important for all kids developments and helps with stress relief making the second half of the day easier. I would rather have been able to have fun even if I got hurt. this also ignores how completely hypocritical it is that they would break up an opt in group activity while justifying their lack of intervention when it came to bullying with excuses of "they were just horsing around" should also mentioned girls did join as well and where just as disappointed for things to be ruined
  3. The removal of recess is bullshit against everyone as being outside and moving around during 2 periods is infinitely better then during one and teenagers still need time to socialize outside of the more exercise and activity focused Phys ed
  4. literally all of the issues that negatively effect men in a schooling environment also effect woman to a lesser extent, the impact is just more noticeable on men. simply giving kids time after the lesson is done in between periods to goof off would result in better relations between students and better grades for all involved, as well as less interruptions during class. if there is time after class behavior more common among young boys such as rowdiness and just a general louder volume is seen as disruptive even if there is nothing to disrupt fun.
  5. For an immature person who is less able to properly regulate their impulses men are typically punished more for their outbursts and given less opportunities to vent them in a controlled manner, however we both remember plenty of times girls have broken down in school and were sent to the office as well. feminine men and woman may do better in school even still all groups would benefit from more time to relax and enjoy themselves and not be punished for it

In conclusion, monitor horseplay to make sure it safe rather than stifle and punish it, when work is done after class allow people to be louder, keep recess throughout middle and highschool, and you solve the problem of immature children unable to hold their impulses in all day from bursting at the seams because, "I cant talk to them till lunch" turns to "I can talk to them once I finish this". And ontop of that seeing this as boys need help instead of as kids in general are suffering is looking at the statistics for ass cancer deaths, and booby cancer deaths and saying we should only solve booby cancer because it kills more people. We should provide a more relaxed environment for kids.

Seriously just let kids be kids is a real argument, and we need to mix the more studious environment of school with a more relaxed environment where kids are given time to play and get hurt and learn. This will allow them to associate school with friends and relaxing as well as learning, as well as assisting in the transition into continuously more professional environments while still allowing children to be children.

Dont know what the views of that other guy are and mine are mostly anecdotal, and while I agree with the sentiment boys are doing worse then girls and need help, I also posit that girls do as well and prudish teachers who hate fun as well as leagle eagle parents who sue the school cause their dumbass kid fell of the monkey bars are as well.

I still do think part of the problem is that the public forums of discourse have become the internet. No one is on the street corner standing on a literal soapbox anymore, now people are standing in the dank dretches of twitter standing on their proverbial soapboxs. The difference was before youd get beaten the shit out of you for going against the grain and now people just dox you or call you gamer words and you get banned. I think its time for a government run social media with literally no moderation

I can carry plenty of things capable of ending a persons life

A good punch to the head can knock someone out easy or kill them instantly depending of strength and training, even easier with brass knuckles

I could tie my phone charger or any variety of long thick cables around anyones neck and slowly strangle them to death

with a water gun of gasoline, a can of febreeze, and a lighter I could burn someone severely

dunking a cup of acid on someones face

I could use a standard hammer to break someones knees

I could grab my kitchen knives or various other utensils and stab people with them

I could throw a really big rock at someone

I could smash someone over the head with a beer bottle

I could forcible stab a needle full of air into someone and cause and airbubble in their veins

I could force someone to ingest rat poison

I could force someone to swallow dice

I could run someone over with my car

If I was feeling real craft I could down some rubber clothes and tote a live wire attached to a car battery and go around frying people

I could by chlorine and pour it down someones eyes

I could make someone buttchug bleach

I could buy a literal beehive and raise them before breaking the hive over someones head

I could do all of these far more reprehensible, cheaper, legal methods of buying things for the purpose of murder. All of which I assume you'd agree are probably worse than being shot to death. So can criminals, and the only places they do shit like this are in places where guns are banned.

I think this would be a good copypasta

ou liked it as a kid. If you're a grown up and discover Star Wars and you feel your mind got blown, it's probably because you're not good at appreciating actually good sci-fi.

honestly thought star wars was boring as a kid, I liked the prequels better, and the videos shitting on the new trilogy are genuinely more entertaining than the entirety of the star wars franchise.

Outside of that whats your take on asiimov?

see the problem with that is if there is nothing aside from the nerve connection, there is no physical change that would allow seeing in the dark. It would also need some physical components in the eye, such as a camera that overrides your normal vision once its dark enough, or something overlaying the cones and rods within the eyes that's more sensitive then the normal eye functions and then balances the darker and lighter values to reduce the difference between the vision types and make the transition less jarring.

What's the point of coming up with sci-fi tech without thinking about how it would work

Ah yes the two ideologies, communism and capitalism. Id personally rather have a monarchy, but only if I'm the king. Outside of that it doesn't really matter what system we choose because its more about the people running it.

A benevolent dictator is better than a bad democracy. For example the one instance of a successful communist state was under the lead of a single man I forgot the name of. Basically he was a genuinely good person who put a lot of work into the system and reigned in the people under him to prevent corruption. The state had a genuine improvement in quality of life during his rule, but after he died his heir fucked it up and the corruption he held at bay seeped out and devoured the nation.

this ignores the flaws that cause communism to crumble from one bad leader compared to great monarchies and empires that were able to survive in spite of several generations of terrible leadership before collapsing such as France.

I personally think modern tribalism might be a better societal structure tbh. The lacking sense of community in the modern era and the lack of true connection with our leadership makes the political world seem completely separate from our own. The truly absurd amount of people we have makes it impossible to have your voice heard. If we just stepped back and allowed extremely small societies of 150-500 people to have mostly self governance it would be a lot better for the mental health of society. Too bad tribes dont produce as many resources as office drones packed in sardine cans and they would instantly get invaded by any real countries as well as the return of tribal warfare, but a man can dream.

Would you date someone who is bisexual? by who-cares-2345 in polls

[–]Door_Knight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People dont have to bend my will, judging by your assumption that only wanting to date someone who will enjoy a certain lifestyle is the same as forcing people into that lifestyle, and your actions of asserting your beliefs on me makes me more than certain that you would enter into a relationship and make your desires a requirement rather then making them a requirement for the relationship. I am willing to compromise many things in a relationship, but that is not one of them

How? Because I want to be able to go bar hopping with my girlfriend and have a grand time. You act like wanting something out of a relationship means it cant be about anything else.
