At some point we’re going to have to realize that the “no woman who’s made a sex tape is eligible for office” thing is keeping women out of office. (Sex tapes tend not to have the same effect on male politicians, unless they actually did or said something manifestly immoral, and the number of enby politicians isn’t big enough for a good sample size.)

Do you know how easy geoengineering is to fuck up? And how global and severe the consequences are if we do? Plus, geoengineering is the kind of thing one country, or a billionaire moron on a private island, could do, and kill us all. I’m not saying there’s no place for geoengineering, only that the only reasonable place for it is after pretty much everything else has failed. We really don’t need or want The Year Without A Summer on repeat for decades.
If you redistributed the money equally instead of having some people inherit it, I kind of doubt everyone would be “poor” in the way you seem to mean. It’s more that no one would be “rich,” which would probably be a stabilizing factor, given that right now we have pre-French-Revolution levels of inequality.
If queerness is a social club defined by the people in it, no.
If queerness is a political identity due to legal persecution for “deviant” consenting adult sexual behavior outside of public view, yes.
I absolutely would compare caffeine with heroin when making the point that the term “addiction” has become so broad as to be meaningless.
Well, I guess we strongly disagree.
I’m not promoting religion. I’m not religious. (I don’t believe it’s always bad faith, either, but…) I’m saying don’t set out to make life harder for groups that already face significant discrimination. And you’re saying you’d prefer to punch down because you don’t like this group. At least now I know who you are.
Romantic? Ffs…
Would you accept giving someone a choice between life in prison and death?
If you think prison’s worse than death for an innocent person, feel free to ask people who were exonerated after decades in prison if they’d rather have been killed.
Gotcha. There’s a concerted effort to make “political” a dirty word. I’m sorry if you were really just unaware.
When something works better, I’ll do that.
