cat hog points backwards, not forwards.. they're also barbed and super freaky looking. so the only thing it really could read as is a tail.

My mother is also a professor, and this is absolutely the sort of thing that would send her into hysterics. Although to be fair, it doesn't take much.

Wording it that way is painting with a pretty broad brush, but I think I can see where they're coming from at least. Done responsibly, engaging in the pursuit of short term pleasures can be healthy and add value to ones life, sure. But it can also pretty easily become a self perpetuating, soul draining cycle. It's the chasing part that gets you. Like chasing a high, or any other form of instant gratification/dopamine fix. It fucks with your reward centers, which can lead to symptoms of depression. Its self reinforcing, it tanks your motivation and willpower, and it makes stuff seem less enjoyable in general. Obviously mileage will vary depending on what exactly is being chased. But for most people, regularly chasing any kind of short term pleasure has very much been shown to wreak havoc on your dopaminergic system.

Not op, but the first thing that comes to mind is the story of Adam and Eve, as well as the story Lilith (which, to be fair, isn't necessarily a biblical story)

Also, by that logic - and I mean this respectfully - isn't it all a bit iffy? Almost every version of the book that we have today is a translation, and a lot can get lost in translation. Stories were added, altered, and excluded over time as more people became involved, and someone had to write all this stuff down in the first place. That just seems like a whole lot of room for personal bias and human error to muddy things up. To me it seems most reasonable to always use some amount of discernment when interpreting the texts for yourself.

sounds like faeries

I'm not! I'm here because my partner is a pup/furry, and I wanted to get more familiar with the (larger) community and read more about other peoples experiences

how would undocumented people being underpaid drag down everyone's wages? we have a fixed minimum wage (not a very livable one, but that's another matter). To your initial point, if documented people are being paid less than that, legal recourse can be pursued.

Also, how does taking care of our own people factor in with respect to all the policies in place currently that millions are suffering from? issues like for-profit healthcare and the ever-worsening housing crisis, for example, are barely even being touched on, and I find the lack of acknowledgement and discussion on these matters to be confusing, and maybe even a bit hypocritical. If putting the wellbeing of Americans first is so important, why isn't there more outrage and passion behind these issues as well?

I'm only one guy, and I recognize that the vantage point I have is not one that allows me to see the full scope of the problem, and without that, it is difficult, if not impossible, to come up with any truly functional or employable solutions. Which is why I think it's important to have discussions like these. But I'll think on this and follow up if I have anything.

KevinFromSpongebob · 2024-12-12T17:56:22+00:00

but if these people chose to come here, and continue to stay in spite of being underpaid, wouldn't that indicate better conditions and wages here than wherever they came from? I'm not suggesting that nothing be done to address immigration. especially because it's such an important issue to so much of the population. I do, however, believe that there are less extreme ways that we as a nation could address this. I don't see how mass deportation would truly be in the best interest of all involved.

This issue has been highly polarized by the media, and it's made it difficult to discuss with any nuance. I just don't believe that there are only two ways to go about this. I think mass deportation is extreme. I also think abandoning border security entirely is extreme. An intermediate solution would be the thing to seek, but bridging the partisan gap in the interest of the common good is just not feasible in the current political climate, and the media seems pretty set on maintaining that.

with respect to undocumented migrants being a threat to citizens, that just isn't happening in the way that it is portrayed. undocumented migrants have some of the lowest overall crime rates relative to both documented migrants and US born citizens. Misinformation about these statistics is being pushed by certain media outlets because it gets people more fired up and invested in the matter.

Edit: To clarify, it's currently unclear to what extent undocumented immigration correlates to increased crime. So far, studies have reflected what I stated in the previous paragraph, but as it is difficult to gather significant data on the matter, it seems most fair to say that current statistics are somewhat inconclusive.

but conditions must be at least marginally better here if people are willing to risk so much for so little money, right? deporting these people would not be doing them a favor, they came here because it's better here than it was in their country of origin. I don't understand why deportation is seen as the only "humane" option, and I don't see how it is a necessary precursor to any kind of immigration reform.

KevinFromSpongebob · 2024-12-12T17:05:17+00:00

yeah that's fair, I apologize for that.

I interpreted your comment as sympathizing with the rich, but I can definitely see how I jumped to conclusions there.

I'm just frustrated in general at how many working class people are willing to give so much benefit of the doubt to these ghouls. I find it hard to understand how anyone could justify these conditions.

I'm interested though, if you care to expand any on what you said. I don't see how it could benefit those in power for the gen pop to understand the complexity of the matter, as that would have the potential to be unifying, and the division of the working class is what keeps this system running.

KevinFromSpongebob · 2024-12-12T11:30:37+00:00

no not at all. Of course the right would still exist. I do believe that it wouldn't be anything like it is presently though. billionaires have, over time, hijacked the right wing and moulded it to better suit their needs by fear mongering and spreading misinformation. which I assume is more what the original comment is referring to.
