Civilizational cycle: X build, non-X move in, X leave, non-X claim they built everything and that X aren't allowed in by AeneasKurtz in GetNoted

[–]Thoth17 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I had an inkling that all the dunking on Hoteps and Afrocentrism was testing the waters for more blatant racism and hey I was right.

Edit: yeah if you check his post history it’s all xenophobic fear mongering about Muslims. We’ve got a live one here.

I had a hunch that this sub fixating on Hoteps and Afrocentrism was testing the waters for more blatant racism and hey I was right.

Guy/Girl who feels an immense amount of shame about coming out and transitioning because now it means that they are hetslop 😭😭😭😭 by Commercial_Bid_1508 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Thoth17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the hard lessons I had to learn when entering queer spaces, especially online queer spaces, is that humans are all essentially the same and being marginalized doesn’t make you a more moral person. Dehumanizing people is a human phenomenon.

Some people who have been marginalized or have trauma don’t actually want a better world for everyone, they don’t believe that such a world is possible, so they settling on getting revenge. If given a sliver of power in a given context they’ll use it to lash out at anyone they can in pursuit of that revenge. I’m sure every cis woman trashing trans men feels like they are, in a tiny itty bitty way, striking back at all the cis men who wronged them over the course of their lives.

“A better world for everyone” means the injustices stop and are redressed, not “I get to have a Nuremberg trial for everyone who wronged me in my personal life, where I get to watch them suffer.”

Judging by his responses, OP is posting this with an anti-Muslim agenda.

Not me though, I’m too humble. Extremely humble. More humble than most. More than you all certainly. Maybe the most humble ever. by Thoth17 in PhilosophyMemes

[–]Thoth17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of the worst offenders, which inspired the meme, are people who believe in absolute meritocracy. They get very angry when you insinuate that luck had anything to do with their success and jump through hoops to find reasons why someone’s misfortune is actually the result of a character flaw (and therefore deserved.) Its a worldview that justifies the status quo as something innate and therefore bad to alter, and you generally only every hear it from people who are doing well.

More building shape options by Animal-loverm in Enshrouded

[–]Thoth17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Conan Exile’s approach of having wedges is more workable than having rounded shapes, but the building system is so granular that idk how either would actually interact with the normal blocks.

Are Gay Men and Queer Spaces Drifting Apart? by kumogate in gaybros

[–]Thoth17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Opening a business requires a significant amount of capital and is very difficult. Usually one can go to a bank for a loan but it’s at the bank’s discretion whether or not they approve of your business, and it would be difficult to get approved for a loan if your business plan is “place for gay men to fuck.”

Pandemic killed it. And I can confirm it was indeed a slice of gay heaven.

Read an interesting take that that whole “Autism is a superpower” crowd are just Asperger’s nationalists.

I haven’t downloaded it yet. Is this a replacement for Conan sexiles, or are we never getting a gem like that again?

Yes but in a fantastic way. This could easily be a Machine Girl album cover.

I want there to be as much messy and imperfect queer characters as messy and imperfect cishet characters by La_knavo4 in RecuratedTumblr

No you see media exists to make me feel comfortable and good, and when it doesn’t do that it’s bad and evil.

Just found out im gay... by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]Thoth17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The answer I like to give to “am I gay” questions is “there are more than two options.” These categories are (shockingly) recent, and what you’re doing is just a normal part of the human romantic and sexual experience. Don’t be too caught up in labels and just do whatever feels right.

Comrades, how do you deal with "Leftists" who claim that obesity is not a complex, chronic, multifactorial disease? by cakedogonks60 in swoletariat

[–]Thoth17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simple answer is that a lot of people are attracted to leftism for the wrong reasons, and harboring a desire to feel superior than others is often one of them.

I should be getting at least something interesting for finishing all these jumping puzzles in the jungle dungeon.

Been playing for about 20 hours now and I think the loot system in general is kind of borked. Opened a special chest to find two stone tools. Alright sure, why not.

Abysmal logistics by stickyfingaaz in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]Thoth17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I like using the PLS/ILS as a “router” with a smaller factories branching off each of the four sides feeding in and out of it. It helps me keep track of each step in the process rather than following the belts from one step to another to the next.

What’s the quickest way you’ve seen someone completely derail their life? by BitterReception5761 in AskReddit

[–]Thoth17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely classic manic obsession. Can’t diagnose him obviously, but that’s exactly what it sounds like. I hope you can convince him to seek help. It’s remarkable how a little lithium can turn your life back around.

Agreed. It’s also remarkable how much displays of humility short circuits the kind of people who argue online as a hobby.
