That's a lot of rape... Humans have such a fascination with some types of "moral problems" yet seem to care nothing for others.

I mean, in this day and age why isn't [insert what I know to be true] accepted by [everyone who I perceive to be wrong]. Hegel leads to another Russian smart man who argues a bunch of it might be due to this idea of perezhivanie; how we make sense of what is happening (particularly dramatic events) through our cognition, our emotions and filtered through our needs.

How we make sense of stuff leads to how we behave/believe. This is impacted by our social environment, how we are brought up, our experiences, and our reasoning of those experiences.

It's why it is argued that information alone will never change someone's mind about something, it needs to be attached to an emotion and an experience to unpack.

Is there somewhere online where you can have an "open discussion"? I've been struck a few times by how some ideas (even presented in a balanced way) just get downvoted hard.

I'm glad someone else is outraged as I was, enough to make a shit post about it on the internet anyway.

Bonus points, you just use the utensil you pull out. Buttering bread and get a spoon, doable. Go for a soup spoon and end up with a fork, hard mode activated.

Thanks, I will check those out. I found some mini painting communities to be equal parts inspired and intimidated by too!

Nothing dramatic, but I was wanting to engage in communities after just being a lurker but found engagement difficult, read about Lemmy when Boost for Reddit died, noticed Boost was back in playstore, so here I am.

I've just jumped from Reddit. It's great that this story is posted here now. It needs to be repeated once a year for those new or who haven't heard it yet. Great story!

DS9 was before it's time in some ways and benefits from binge watching.

My problem was I watched it expecting Cornetto trilogy and got stoner comedy so didn't enjoy it as much. Going in expecting stoner comedy (when in the mood for it) a few years later increases the enjoyment factor.

This could still happen. If he got back in again and I was Mexico I would be building that wall quick smart.

My beard of the past 20 years started falling out to look like this recently. Actually pretty sad day when I decided it looked too mangey and I shaved it.

Now my kids call me Mr potato head.
