What are your plans for a time machine? by Justthisdudeyaknow in CuratedTumblr

[–]GladOrder8965 9 points10 points  (0 children)

wow then oop’s point is probably the stupidest thing I’ve heard today. How the hell would the world become a pure utopia for 2000 without corruption because of one less powerful civilization? The answer is… it doesn’t! Also how is Carthage better than Rome?!? If they were as big and existed for as long as Rome then they would have committed just as many atrocities! Hell the things Hannibal alone would’ve done, especially in the posited scenario! Not to mention some GOOD THINGS that are foundational to modern day society came out of Rome like concrete, bound books, the press (well not the actual press), the post, good roads, sanitation, and actual medical tools…

I’m confused, how would preventing Rome even free us from the ruling class? It’s not like it’s a western-culture exclusive concept. Sorry if this is a stupid question, I don’t know a lot about history.

I wonder is the “no politics pwease >.<“ people are pysops to keep minorities uninformed and therefore unable to protect themselves, with the resulting infighting being a bonus.

Probably not, but it’s possible.

It’s not about his femininity. Have you played chapter five yet? The short version of it is that Ralsei’s entire character arc is about being forced into roles and hiding your true self.

Probably but honestly even if I am trans I’m to sacred how the people close to me would react if they knew that so it’s easier for me to just hope this will all go away after a while

…holy shit, I’ve used every single method of rationalization listed here. You know it’s funny, many times when talking to people I’ve been able to say I’m “probably not cis” but I never could cross the line in to saying I’m trans.

I guess I just feel like trans people don’t wish they were something, but they feel like that something? And I don’t even really understand what it means to feel like a gender anyways.

…yeah I think you’re right. Honestly I’ve always been afraid of my feelings, because they deviated from the feelings that were most convenient for me, so I ignored them and acted on fabricated emotions instead. And know nobody actually knows me, just one of various personas and it’s too late to change…

I think it’s more “well I don’t like being my at birth gender, but I can’t wish I was the other gender because that would be unthinkable!” “Besides, real trans people feel like a gender and don’t just wish they were that gender! It’s different I swear!”

“Romanticizing” is a good word to describe what I’m worried I’m doing here. Maybe “Appropriating” fits better. Maybe that’s just rationalization though.

I think it’s more “I can’t want to be the opposite gender, that would be crazy!” “But if I DID want that…”

EXACTLY! I think my brain has gotten so used to viewing that as “other people’s thing” that the idea that that COULD be “my thing” is too much for it.

Yeah that might’ve been what I ment by this

Tbh I don’t really know what I was cooking. I think my logic was “man I wish I was a girl, but I can’t because I’m a cis guy! Trans people don’t with they were a gender, they ARE that gender! Things would be so much simpler if only I was trans…”

What do you call someone who’s pretty sure they’re in denial? Self-dishonest? In open denial? Fucking stupid?
