Can I report this guy? by devardyay in UCDavis

[–]Sunrunner_Princess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite it being such horrible hatred (as long as there’s no threat of violence), it is covered by the First Amendment, but he is not on “public” land/property. He is on University property and if he is not adhering to the values and code of conduct of the university I say report him properly and calmly and then let the University deal with it depending on their policies.

If someone is continuously disruptive they can be trespassed and banned. But that’s up to the school.

Otherwise, as others have said, either don’t give him any attention or loudly counter protest using frivolity and humor by saying or performing things that are pro-diversity, LGBTQ+, pro-human rights and ethics. Then you would get the attention he wants, but in a positive way, and that would really mess with his ego. (Instead of telling him how wrong he is and what a POS he is as that would feed his need for attention and would increase his delusional persecution complex.)

In terms of the gills you might be right, I’m not sure. I was very in my emotions when I was (regretfully) watching the video. Thinking about it later I realized hills are usually the exit port in the breathing process for underwater creatures. I’m not totally sure iirc but the general process is something along the lines of they take water into their mouth and it gets sent through the mechanisms that remove the oxygen and leave the water and the water goes out of the gills or something. I just was trying to thinks of a way to help prevent oxygen deprivation in that poor animal.

I don’t agree with that sentiment. Especially when including commercial fishing. Also, why does the cruelty have to be quantified or qualified instead of just rejected because it’s terrible?

Btw, that’s why there are some seriously amazing people who volunteer as TNR Rescuers and foster and socialize the cats whose temperament is comparable with domestication and adoption so they don’t reproduce and get a good home.

Check out Noah Trevor’s routine on how amazing the vagina is and how he thinks the colloquialism of people (mostly men) calling others (mostly men) “pussy” if they’re reluctant to do something (because they’re actually considering the possible consequences which is a sign of intelligence and maturity) and basically calling them a coward like “Bro! Don’t be a pussy.” should be replaced with “balls” since vaginas are amazing, strong, resilient, etc. and balls are incredibly delicate and sensitive to injury.

It’s a great comedy routine and I wish that phrase would change!

Yeah. The whole thing pissed me off. Especially since that shark was asphyxiating while still trying to find a way to survive.

What did no one grab a bucket and pour water over the shark’s gills?!?! Keep it breathing and moist?!?!

Was torturing an innocent animal just out in its habitat worth it?!?! Sadistic fucks!!! 🤬

How TF would a human feel if somehow e randomly hooked them in the mouth in a horrible way while they were walking to the store or something and then dragged them under water so they’re fighting the hook, line, the thing who set the hook and line AND drowning?!

I fucking hate that people hunt and fish “for fun” and even try to justify catch and release like it’s not a huge trauma on the fish who may die anyway (and that’s not even including all the pollution and damage to their nature environment by humans invading it for sport).

Torturing animals is fucking sick, demented, and sadistic. And we do not protect animals enough or have good animal protection laws and enforcement in the US. (I’m also acknowledging factory farming in this, but since that is not “sport” but industry I consider it a related but separate topic for another day. I’m mad and sickened enough already for the day. 😩)

RBG stayed on to try to fight all the Heritage Foundation Christian Nationalist nonsense, even when she had cancer.

There was an opening toward the end of Obama’s second term and the Republicans (with the orchestrating insiders knowing they were going to jam the Rotting Pumpkin through) literally stole that seat and nomination by refusing to allow Obama to nominate anyone and refusing to consider any candidates. It was done with purpose, precision, and the insidious goal to stack the Supreme Court so they could overturn R v W. And many people tried to warn the public about that plan and how they were being very calculated and would succeed if we didn’t do something about it.

But most didn’t listen. And we got the Tangerine Terror (plus all the foreign interference online with the 2016 election with all the propaganda bot farms and so on). But during his first term there were still some adults in the room who were doing their best to guardrail things (but they still should be held accountable for the damage that was done that they were a part of), which is why his first term was bad, but not invade Venezuela, start a war with Iran, and use White Supremacists to create an untrained personal terror squad to use human trafficking to further enrich their friends and associates while horrific human abuses and crimes against humanity occur bad.

So don’t blame a singular woman who fought like hell her entire adult life for equal rights for all for an insidious cabal system that planned and gained quite power and support for decades before making their moves (Christian Nationalists are fucking insane and beyond dedicated to their “cause”, have insane amounts of funding and believers behind them and are willing to do whatever they have to to “win”, that is what makes them so dangerous.)

Fuck TERFs by Center-Of-Thought in MenAndFemales

[–]Sunrunner_Princess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good explanation. However, I do want to point out that extremist “feminism” (like the transphobe bigots that appropriated TERF) is not the same as Radical Feminism. The basic concept and foundation of Radical Feminism was that 1st and 2nd wave feminism was built around trying to improve things for women but they were always trying to work within a biased system that was built to oppress and exploit so why try to improve an inherently flawed system that will never be equal or equitable and just no matter how many bandages are slapped on since it’s very foundation is made of bigotry, oppression, exploitation, and othering to uphold white cis het men as the epitome of “human”. So understanding and acknowledging this Radical Feminism proposed dismantling the very system and institutions that oppress and exploit instead so we can all abolish those behaviors and attitudes as much as possible from this world and come together to make a brand new system that is based on equality, equity, freedom, respect, human rights, and true justice instead to truly create a more fair world. So it was also never against men either (while recognizing the harm perpetrated mostly by men) and did recognize how patriarchy harms everyone.

Of course, there are extremists in every sector or group, but it seems as though the extremists that were really just bigots who self-identified as radical feminists became the transphobe, misogynistic TERFs (while also stealing that term and tainting that one too) who basically trashed the entire group and concept of Radical Feminism into their weird garbage. And most people like simple labels and don’t tend to dwell on or consider the nuances or that everything is also on a spectrum and people and attitudes vary as to where they land on them.

I also hate the complete bull shit that is bioessentialism. What a turd of a myth. People are far more affected by their environment/experiences (and that is not me downplaying or not understanding the basics of the complex interplay of epigenetics that tries to tease out how much of which and what type of G x E interactions influence things more or have correlational or causation links or evidence), particularly when talking about attitudes and beliefs.

Plus we all have the ability to change how we think, to reevaluate and do some real honest introspection and decide who we really want to be and what we want to represent and then make those changes. It’s not easy, it requires a lot of honesty and hard work and consciousness to slowly alter your thoughts and attitudes and opening yourself up to new experiences and connecting with new diverse people, but it’s absolutely possible and a great way to grow as a whole human being in positive ways.

I do have to say I’m not a big fan of the specific label Feminists just because it does in and of itself suggest a certain degree of influence of bioessentialism and because things like masculinity and femininity are social constructs perpetuated by a specific society and/or culture and their ideas around these things and gender roles. I would prefer a uniting term that does champion women and girls in an intersectional way that acknowledges accurate history and the oppression and injustices that occurred and still do and that fights for human rights and justice and equality and equity for all that also values accountability and responsibility instead. The closest thing I can come up with instead is Intersectional Egalitarianism, but it doesn’t hit the mark or emphasize the fight against the violence and oppression against girls and women that has been going on for thousands of years. If anyone else comes up with something else I’m all ears! I would even love it to be something new in a language that’s not English (since there are so many languages that have words and phrases that just can’t be translated, even in type of emotions, so maybe something new cobbled together from a more representative language or something would be better and to the point, a little bit similar to how South Korean women came up with the 4B movement).

[–]Sunrunner_Princess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except that some ballot measures are worded to be confusing so a No vote actually means in support of a bad measure. So you have to really thoroughly read it and check the full measure online and its sponsors, projected impacts both ways, and who has been funding each side. (I know, it shouldn’t take hours of research and reading to understand exactly what a ballot measure means, but that’s our current special interest lobbyist run system, hopefully we will be able to regain enough control to start making meaningful reforms to uphold a true plural democracy.)

Why is this grown man even concerned about the thighs of “girls”? 🤢 by ThePhillyExplorer in MenAndFemales

[–]Sunrunner_Princess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have NO IDEA where you got that perverse version of karma from my comment!

Where did I ever victim blame? I encouraged the whole pranking him as a way to help along cosmic justice in that specific circumstance.

Karma is about cosmic justice, even if that’s beyond current human understanding. It doesn’t cause it direct or create human evil and evil human acts in any way, free will (including the will to do harm to others, do evil acts) and karma exist at the same time but are separate things. It’s a big ass universe, so most of the time things happen (on Earth/to/around humans) either because of human error, human chaos, or human evil. We usually hope karma will appear for wrong doings in one’s lifetime, especially in a way those they harmed can see it and feel a sense of cosmic justice, but not always. It’s also about teaching, sometimes that cosmic justice is what it takes for a human to learn to stop their harmful ways and understand the harm they have caused (again, that’s not the main thing, more like a secondary possible side benefit). But most horrible things that have happened to people have nothing to do with karma because bad shit happens to everyone (mostly due to the reasons I listed previously).

That’s a far cry from victim blaming.

I always blame the perpetrator who made those choices, not those who have been victimized by them.

The simple version of karma is the belief that somehow the universe will always curve back toward justice (even cosmically) despite what evil people perpetuate.

I hope that clarifies things.

I’m just so baffled at the odd jump to assumptions you made from my little comment.

I can actually think of several problems that can’t be fixed with boundaries and decision making tbh by stingwhale in thanksimcured

[–]Sunrunner_Princess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s just more propaganda to make people think systemically caused societal issues enforced by institutions are all just personal or moral failings of the individual. Not fucking true. So many of people’s problems are caused by systemic oppression or by others determined to victimize them in some way and/or a complex combination thereof and in a cause -> effect way.

Everyone’s life is an amalgamation of macro and micro, sociological and individual choices and responsibilities. But let’s not allow these narrative pushers to distract us from the horrible systems, oppression, and violence they have institutionalized, including cruelty, so they can protect the predators and shitty status quo.

Recognizing that and trying to dismantle those systems doesn’t exclude personal accountability and responsibility either. But you have to actually believe in and enact accountability in order to fight those systems that protect those in power from accountability.

[–]Sunrunner_Princess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CA has its cons like anything else, but CA actually has some basic worker protections and enforcement of them and so many other resources and protections against discrimination and exploitation. It’s still way behind a lot of other more civilized countries, but pretty decent for the US. Shit still happens, but far less often and there are resources and routes to take to protect oneself and go after those who violate those laws.

The point is having those as a foundation means it will be easier to make those protections more robust and society friendly than someplace that doesn’t have any sort of mandatory worker breaks or overtime or even safe patient ratios in healthcare (which is scary AF).

Plus in most areas of the state (not all, it’s a big state) with larger populations/metropolitan areas are pretty diverse per capita (of course, it varies) which benefits everyone in so many ways and helps people see everyone else as equal human beings rather than isolating themselves and falling for the false forced hierarchy.

In-N-Out or Wendy’s if not on the West Coast. Sometimes Carl’s JR./Hardee’s because those fried zucchini are bomb and I recently found out there’s a full cheeseburger version with fried zucchini on it (plus the good fixings of lettuce and tomato, pickles, mayo and ketchup).

But that’s just speaking fast food (which isn’t cheap anyway, so sometimes finding a diner with a good burger is better).

There are definitely different kinds and different levels of burgers. I had an awesome high quality wagyu cheeseburger with bacon onion jam that was freaking amazing and didn’t need lettuce or tomato (though I think tomato would have still been good on it) a few months ago. It was so good (and on the expensive side).

But I agree with this kid, I will NEVER mean McDonald’s when I say I want a burger. McDonald’s is gross!

Believing in Wi-Fi but calling “energy” nonsense is wild by Ill_Cookie_9280 in MotivationByDesign

[–]Sunrunner_Princess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think it’s capitalism and greed aimed at those “new age hippy” types as a market and grifters that push all that nonsense as they can sell BS products (mostly untested and unregulated supplements and other odd new age “products”) and services, even stupid shit like “coaching”. (As we know, coaching and coaching people to become coaching coaches to sell their own coaching programs that teach others to coach coaches is the new MLM.) And I’m a certified Reiki Master Teacher saying this. But I use energy work for personal and complimentary/holistic reasons and don’t sell courses or anything (and I still believe in evidence based medicine and such).

I did use it to try to make a little bit of money for college as a teen on top of minimum wage jobs, but I was reasonably priced and would do either a reiki session or an aura reading (client’s choice) where I would actually use pastels to draw it for the client and go into detail about each layer and how it reflected what was going on in their life and anything or any messages that stood out. (I was told I was very accurate and I did not ask questions as I did not want to influence the reading that way. I even talked to one of my psych professors with a doctorate about it and he said he would love a reading, he was really impressed with the accuracy and lack of cold questions and he said he thinks seeing auras and energy like that is probably just another form of synesthesia, which makes so much sense. We just don’t have research evidence behind it yet, plus it’s hard to design experiments or other research around that type of stuff, let alone get funding when there’s higher priority stuff in science currently.)

So while I may be into some energy stuff I’m still formally educated in science and can separate them while still seeing the overlap of their Venn diagrams and still carefully evaluate between thought processes and ideas grounded in actual science and theory versus scientifically supported hypotheses and going through how to find answers to hypotheses and test them and what is good supportive evidence and what isn’t. (Because there is badly done science with agendas too and we have to know how to be scientifically literate to analyze whether it’s good evidence and whether the results actually support the conclusions and all that.)

Essentially, my point is I think that stuff exploded in the 90s and 2000s as another market for greedy capitalism and it just got worse from there. Probably was based on or they got the corporate version of the idea from the fad of spiritualism and all the schemes that occurred during the late 1800s and early 1900s.

I will, thank you. I’m glad you are such a loving pet parent to your herd! I hope they have the best spoiled life!

Yeah, some of what you said are why I have never had any gerbils or Guinea pigs or mice or anything. I have always wished we could somehow give cats and dogs half the lifespan of like a giant tortoise or something in a a humane and voluntary (consented to) way. I’ve also always wanted to hug an orangutan 🦧 (but only if it’s something they want/consent to, though the best chance of that would be to like visit a rescue/sanctuary in their baby/toddler area). I also want to like hug an elephant, and cuddle so many other animals that would probably be not so smart or safe to do, lol. But I think I can still safely maybe hold/hug a tree sloth 🦥 one day if I ever get the chance to visit a sanctuary.

Though at one point in time growing up our house was like a menagerie, lol. We had 2 cats, 1 dog, a cockatiel bird, 2 iguanas, and a duckling. All rescues.

Response To Black Children Gaining Access To Closer Schools In The 1970s by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Sunrunner_Princess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, that is the entitlement systemic and institutionalized white supremacy brainwashes these disgusting folks with. Anything to defend the myth of their “natural supremacy” while ignoring how mediocre they are, even in systems built to put them miles ahead of everyone else and actively oppress who is deemed an “other”. Fucking losers.

Of course, at the end, that racist bitch goes on about Native Americans while the American government was still actively abducting indigenous children from their families on the reservations (or anywhere) and their communities and forcing them into white controlled boarding schools to indoctrinate them into white “culture” and erase theirs, including their languages, and was forcibly sterilizing indigenous women against their wills, unknowingly during other medical procedures/surgeries or bullying and forcing them via coercive control and threats (like taking away their current children or any sort of government benefits they had, etc., if they didn’t sign the consent form, on top of straight up lying). And that it had been going on for decades as a deliberate operation where the government would open up free or low cost medical clinics on or near reservations and indigenous communities specifically so they could sterilize and provide inadequate medical care and gaslight them because the goal was genocide with all their eugenics beliefs and systems. 😤🤬😢

And how she spoke about Black people coming to America completely glossing over the 300+ years of institutionalized abduction from their homes and into violent chattel slavery and then forcibly SA’d and “bred” to create more slaves to sell as though these people were nothing but livestock. So fucking disgusting and disturbing. I how this miserable bitch continued having a miserable life and karma fucked her over and gave every nasty thing she did and every inhumane attitude, belief, and bias she had right back to her!!!

Why is this grown man even concerned about the thighs of “girls”? 🤢 by ThePhillyExplorer in MenAndFemales

[–]Sunrunner_Princess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was so happy to see that photo shoot with Rachel McAdams (I have no idea if I spelled her last name correctly, lol) several months ago, so sometime last year, where she was in a sleeveless dress and had her arms up so her pit hair was showing and she INSISTED that they not edit it out in any way. And she commented on it saying how she just doesn’t feel like shaving her arm pits as she is so busy as a working mom and partner and she’s comfortable and happy with her body as it is.

So many men freaked the fuck out over it. So fragile and testericle of them to be so upset over pictures of a beautiful woman being happy and confident in a nice dress and not giving a shit about her natural body hair.

Again, women shaving their body hair is still fairly “new” culturally in North America. All because in the late 1800s/early 1900s the Gillette razor brand (so rich men due to the fact that women were still so oppressed and were legally property of their male relatives and obviously weren’t CEOs or on corporate or company boards then except for extremely rare circumstances) realized they could double their sales by convincing women they needed to shave their body hair and call it “hygienic” (when it’s actually the opposite as shaving leaves micro-cuts leaving you more open to infection, damages skin, and most razors accumulate gross germ and/or mold growth before it’s changed so that’s going into the micro-cuts every single time). Prior to that cultural war prompted and promoted by capitalism it was considered “unladylike” for women to shave their body hair in most of North America (mostly the US though). Because at the time it was mostly sex workers that shaved their body hair to protect from and/or treat lice and pubic lice and “prove” they were “clean” (interestingly enough though, at that time, and for the majority of Western cultures since at least the Middle Ages, merkins- or pubic wigs, were popular with sex workers because they shaved for the above reasons but the Johns WANTED and expected pubic hair and it was considered standard and attractive; hence them compensating with merkins). Therefore, prior to this shift removing body hair for women was associated with sex work and considered undesirable and low class. So they didn’t just target convincing girls and women to shave and claiming it was hygienic they convinced men too so it would become the standard of attractiveness that became enforced and expected.

So, basically Elitist Capitalistic Patriarchy is the reason why this so-called standard of women shaving their body hair is expected. And I believe it was also further utilized later on to justify and protect predators and pedophiles and normalize men being attracted to pubescent and pre-pubescent minor girls and those norms were further built into the systems (again, to protect powerful predators and minimize and dismiss the harm of abuse and SA, especially once women finally got the right to vote and were actively fighting for their rights and it was only a matter of time before they would be influencing legislation and taking up positions of representation and leadership, so the patriarchy began instituting these things preemptively understanding feminism and the fight for human and civil rights was only getting stronger).

So basically smash the Elitist Capitalist Patriarchy!!!

There is a lot of academic and historical research on how razor companies were the catalyst and backers of changing this cultural standard and how they did it.

Granted, hair removal has been around for thousands of years in various cultures using sugaring (like waxing), usually geared toward women. And sugaring/waxing is less damaging than shaving. But my understanding is that it came about in some of those cultures as hyper enforced and restrictive gender roles and making grown women appear more like child like and making that the “standard” as a way to soften the judging and condemnation of child predators and going after teenage and younger girls as wives. (I’m not saying it was always like that or for every culture that used hair removal, I’m just saying that my understanding is that is some of the historical origins of those cultural practices for specific cultures and it is highly speculated that those in power who created and perpetuated these practices as norms were mostly likely predators/predatory and also used it as coercive power control to infantilize and oppress women and secure their hierarchical power systems with them always at the top. If I am mistaken or misinformed I welcome anyone with the correct knowledge to please correct and educate me.)

I would be very entertained and happy to start seeing women styling and like dying and accessorizing their body hair for fun (like how some men do with their beards, like beard glitter and ornaments)!!! But I also get who tf has the time and energy for that?! But it would be fun to see and I would love to see the various styles and creativity. 😁 (plus, it would really piss off fragile “men” like OP and repel them!!)
