I guess gender is pretty much meaningless in my opinion. It probably should be abolished.

But also, it’s fine if people care about their own gender.

It’s not that big of a deal as people make it out to be.

Gender is a social construct and describes a certain way we choose to act and dress etc.

So it’s pretty much impossible to be wrong about your gender if you are honest about your ambitions. The only way I could see someone being “wrong” about their gender is if someone says they are a certain gender but deliberately chooses to act in accordance with another. But even then, the line is blurry, so it would be stupid to police, what “true” gender expression is supposed to be.

That isn’t even a real insult.

I think you need to get off the internet and go touch some grass or something.

And we should condemn them deeply for it.

You should still vote for them, I guess, but they don’t even have a presidential candidate for the next election.

This purity testing between Democrats is so stupid. They fucking better give me a candidate, that doesn’t want to slaughter Palestinians. That shouldn’t be a controversial statement. If we signal to Democrats now, that we will vote for them no matter what stupid inhumane bullshit they do, then we are just gonna get another Biden that doesn’t do anything for 4 years and then loose to the stupidest Republican candidate imaginable.

It’s not like the Democrats do anything for transrights, Gavin Newsom literally said, that they were to supportive of Trans People and that’s why they lost the last election. Shure, their own research (that they tried to hide from the public) showed, that Kamela Harris’s position on Gaza lost them the election, but shure, let’s blame the minority group that is already heavily under attack.

I mean, shure in the short term, Gavin Newsom might be preferable to Trump, but he will be so bad, that everybody is gonna hate him after 4 years and people will just return to the Republicans. If we just continue to accept the Democrats bullshit, we are not doing anything for ourselves.

Shut up, you are annoying

It really depends on the video game I guess. There are a lot of video games, I would consider high art, but there are others, I wouldn’t. That’s really subjective though and other people will probably consider other games as art than me.

But there is no way to objectively determine what art is. My personal definition is like I determine the gender of a person. If the artist says, it’s art, then it is art.

I don’t know what the fuck you are talking about.

It’s still sold, so it definitely has a market value.

If you are talking about sociatal value, then I disagree even more firmly. Art has a lot of value, regardless of what medium it is delivered by.

You know that movies and video games are digital art, right?

Yeah, let’s just take the Mona Lisa and shread it.

Can’t be stealing if I don’t make money from it, right?

In my life, why do I give valuable time to people who don’t care if I live or die?

Well, if you know that your comment is wrong, why not delete it?

Anarchists are vehemently opposed to states such as the USSR and China. We consider them to be as great a danger as fascism.

Yes, apparently reading is hard

I think that you have a lot of agency over how you live your life and what you do, which has a huge impact on your happiness.

There is no general answer here, just try to do more things that you know are good for you and make you happy. Eat healthier, stay reasonably fit, get a good and consistent sleep cycle (this has a huge hormonal impact on your happiness). Enjoy good art, make meaningful connections, if you are angry about the state of the world, try to revolt.

The question is, if this is correlation or causation. Maybe some people just do less things, that make them happy as they age? Doesn’t mean that you are gonna be unhappy.

Also, this is an average and I imagine, that there is a very high variance among different people. A lot of people may very well get progressively, happier as they age.

I would say, that happiness comes very much down to how you live your life, how you view the world and what you do.

If you have a job, that makes you happy and good relationships and stuff like that, you are probably gonna be happy regardless of your age.

There is no empirical way to measure happiness, just because a paper says so doesn’t mean, that it’s objectively correct

Also wrong.

Either you are misinformed, an idiot or just racist.

They aren’t being governed by ISIS.

Yeah, I get that.

I mean, what she did was still pretty bad, just the fact that she was totally willing to do that, so I get the other peoples reaction.

I mean, the reaction of her one friend (I don’t remember her name), was a bit overblown, but she had pretty good reasons to (with her cousin and stuff).

I like, that she never tried to justify it in any way, she was like “Yeah, it was really messed up, and I can’t justify it”, but also she changed and grew, so she really regretted it. I think her problem was, that it is really hard to properly communicate how she has changed. And it would probably have been a better idea to talk to her partner about this and not all her friends.

And also her partner had a really hard time trying to accept this, he tried to justify it to himself. He should have been much more caring and supportive. I think he realized this towards the end.

Also the buttons on the golden panel over the toilet (that are typically used to flush) are way smaller, than they are supposed to be
