Every time I find myself in an argument against abortion, I suddenly find a lot of atheists who happen to be against abortion.

I don't believe these people.

The earliest theory of consciousness forming is the third trimester, long after any legal abortions take place.

Apparently that doesn't matter to these secular anti-abortionists.

It's just the fact that it's life somehow, but that idea is connected to belief.

How can it be seen as unethical to abort something incapable of thinking, feeling, or experiencing?

I think that all anti-abortion arguments boils down to belief or control. And any arguments otherwise, are simply excuses to pass fascist laws.

I am a man, I view feminism as equal rights. I'd say Roe v Wade being overturned was a massive blow to feminism.

​

Culturally though, it seems the feminist movement has changed.

​

I see a lot of focus on the sexualization of women in media. And if anything gets to the point of censorship, that's where I will massively be in disagreement.

​

It seems a lot of today's (or a loud minority) feminists focus a lot on this.

​

It seems like they took the negative attitudes Christians have pushed about sex, kept them, and instead of scapegoating women they scapegoat men.

​

That's why they seem to want the same things that Christian conservatives wanted in 90s, except for different reasons.

​

That's my theory anyways.

​

If I were to adorn a tin foil hat, I would say this whole shift in the feminist movement, was done by conservative Christians, in order to achieve censorship, while at the same time, turning away voters by making the left the prudish zelots.

Any thoughts?

I really enjoy this show, it just sucks that they are making the seasons so short.

The next season is also going to be 6 episodes.

I read somewhere they want to make it 12-15 "seasons".

6 episode seasons now, do they really need to stretch their material this thin?

12 episode seasons are reasonable.

I remember when a season used to consist of 26 episodes, and they made one every year.

I'm rewatching house of the dragon, because their seasons come out twice a year, I hope it's more than 5 episodes.

Oh well, it just sucks, if they keep doing this, I'll wait till a show is done until I start watching.

I'm not a speed runner, but I saw some videos, I find it absolutely fascinating and awesome, that a community was built where people regulate each other and keep each other honest.

People maticliously watch runs, and out cheaters.

The amazing dedication it takes to search and find repeatable glitches. I find it really remarkable. All with no monetary incentive.

If I was in charge of rooting out corruption in the government, I would look towards the speed running community.

I just had this thought, and I figured I'd share it. If I were an anthropologist, I would want to study speed running. The way the community spurted from dedicated hobbists, and how well it is self regulated.

I unironically think there is a lot to learn from the speed running about building a society that is resistant to corruption.

I guess my main question to the speed running community is, why didn't all of you take over the world yet? 😂.

I find watching actual runs boring, but videos about finding glitches, the different rules, the self regulation and spotting cheaters. I wish politicians were like this!

I used to love going to concerts, now they seem loud, uncomfortable, expensive and just a pain.

Maybe it's because I haven't spent the money on seeing a really good band but live shows don't seem to really.

Hell years ago I wanted to see Nine Inch Nails, but their ticket prices are rediclious. In thousands for a good seat is absolutely rediclious. And the nose bleed, sitting behind people standing costs $60, that's what I'd pay for a middle of the road seat.

I just don't see much appeal going to concert anymore. It costs too much, I have to stand, there are people everywhere, and most of the time you are paying to hear other people loudly singing right next to you.

You wind up having to use a dirty bathroom.

There are bands I'd like to see live, but when I look at the ticket prices, I think of all the crap concerts come with, and I'm like nah.

Does anyone else feel this way?
