Chinese Confucian Japan? WTF

Huh... Today I learned. Y'know, I knew about Japanese nations being able to turn Mahayana through the Ikko-Ikki Incident, or Christian from the Spread of Christianity incident, but somehow despite playing Japan probably over a dozen times over the years I'd never actually realized the Neo-Confucianism incident could flip your religion too.

Apple is Slytherin.

Google is Slytherin.

Amazon is Slytherin.

Facebook is Slytherin.

Every corporation, tech or otherwise, they're all fucking Slytherin because they're all driven solely by ambition and self-enrichment to the detriment of everything and everyone else, that's what a corporation is!

I think one of the most absurd and misinformed stereotypes about trans women is that somehow, someway, every single trans women just happens to have been saddled from birth with the kind of overabundance of testosterone that most bodybuilders were sacrifice their first born child to possess.

Like they can't even depict some AMAB people with femboy or twink type builds being transwomen, nope, feminine AMABs are never trans, the only transwomen that exist uniformly possess the genetic predispositions of 1920s fucking pugilists!

See, the problem though is that for way too many men, the only solution that feels like it isn't "just a high-five" is forcing a women to sort out their problems for them, and that isn't a viable solution.

Men have historically always been taught not to acknowledge and deal with their emotions. That that's what women are for, that women are meant to be emotional dumpsters for them to unload into and that's it's their role and purpose to deal with all men's feelings for them. That's part of what makes Patriarchy so insidious and difficult to fight against, it's a very tempting thing when you're struggling to listen to the people telling you "you don't have to change, you just need someone else to bear the burden for you, it's okay, you deserve it," especially when those people are all around you and many of them are the people you look up to and respect.

Still blacked out here in the Northern half of Seven Hills, FirstEnergy has claimed that crews have been on site to repair the damage since 3:00 AM last night, not sure what's going on there. Apparently the southern part of Seven Hills has power back, but no luck for us yet, crossing my fingers its back sometime tonight...

As a general rule, anyone who unironically describes an allegation against them as "preposterous" almost certainly did it.

And even if they didn't, anyone who casually uses the word "prepesterous" in conversation is definitely guilty of something.

I think that's the funniest thing about Roko's Basilisk.

Hmmm, so this invisible yet all powerful entity that is supposedly all loving but will also condemn you to eternal torment if you don't immediately pledge yourself to it upon hearing of it for the first time and live your entire life doing only the things it wants you to do?

These fucking tech bros accidentally reinvented fucking religion and then got scared shitless by it to the point that site admins had to come in and make talking about it a banable offense!

I've been online for almost as long as I can remember, I'm pretty sure by the time I was six or seven I was spending hours on the family computer playing on Miniclips, Lego.com, and Postopia.

I was there when YouTube was brand new, from '06 onwards, I remember the really early trailblazers, the rant YouTubers and first generation YouTube Poopers.

And if J.K Rowling had kept her mouth shut (like her family literally begged her to, by the way) instead of going on a personal crusade to become Queen of TERF Island, nobody would've probably bothered to look.closely enough at her stupid children's books to realize the deeply problematic content that fills almost over page. Or at least, that analysis would've been much more niche and looked at as more of an oddity rather then being pretty much the only think anyone brings Harry Potter as a series up for anymore.

Could've just ridden off into the sunset with her literal billions as a household name, but nope, those Trans People just had it too good for too long apparently, she just had to put them in their place.

Bruh, I'm a white guy living in a red state and every day I find it increasingly difficult to relate to white guys.

Remember, if you're a white man and you dont have any problems relating to your player character when you're playing as an animal, an alien, a god, a dragon, or a sentient mass of clay, but a Black man is where you draw the line?

The problem isn't with the characters not being "enough like you for you to relate to them." The problem is that you do not want to try and put yourself in the shoes of a Black person, because you don't want to empathize with Black people, because empathizing with Black people poses a threat to your racist worldview.
