When your constitution says "all people shall be equal before the law", do you feel compelled to say "but they're not, why must we pretend otherwise"?

"Natural state" as I understand it would require that the "goyim" know absolutely nothing about jews from things such as cultural background, religion, etc. and form their opinion solely on living alongside them. I am not aware of any such social experiments.

Looking at history it is not difficult for explicitly religious Christians to hate anyone at all who is not Christian. Jews aren't particularly special in that regard.

A majority of men will find that a rule that excludes all women from voting, governing and performing on jury based on some objective measure of competence will also exclude them. This is usually considered a bad thing by those who support universal male suffrage.

Of course it is not "necessary" to measure the competence objectively when one can rely on such time-tested proxies as "has a penis", "white" or "possesses as much property or more than the person currently arguing in favor of restricting the suffrage", but you get the idea.

What are you actually trying to claim here? "Children's sports are not literally the same as young adults'" is a very different claim than "women's sports matter, and should matter, as little as children's sports compared to men's".

Personally, I believe that humans reaching the height of what their bodies can perform does deserve celebration. In that, women's sports are equal to men's sports because exceptional women are still exceptional. Local leagues and children's leagues are transitional, at least in theory, and that's why they are not the same as women's leagues.

Should I have a daughter, my fatherly advice to her will not include "even if you become the best of all women in X, this won't matter in the slightest because male boys are still going to be better than you" or whatever argument against female sports is common those days. You're welcome to tell your daughters otherwise, of course.

Read this as "icepick" and was briefly amused by your wife's sense of humor.

I am doubtful that the elite males were ever convinced to a significant degree that God existed, or at least that He would punish them for taking many mistresses, specifically. Certainly all the commandments against not murdering and such were treated as nothing but a polite suggestion, judging by the stories of power struggles around thrones.

What did hold elite males back was that older societies were less atomized, and their escapades were more likely to be known, fueling regular, non-supernatural consequences against them such as their brother getting angry and leading a coup.

Maybe it's the people who should be willing to punish elites, vastly disproportionately. At least for as long as the elites have names and addresses and can't murder us all with drone swarms.

If she was not a public figure I would assume that save files from non-Xbox-account-registered copies of the games were imported. But the CEO of Xbox can't very well say she's been playing pirated games, can she?

Of course, there were sects of nuns that got double mastectomies anyway. But maybe not all of the trans-adjacent women would join those.

Historically, it would also come with significant changes in one's legal status to pretend to be chicks and be taken seriously as such.

Reading that essay, it appears that Duncan's primary error is that he over-values the 10-year-old-self. Liking transformer robots and looking like Jimmy Neutron is no more optimal than liking the process of sex just because liking the process of sex comes later.

Hey, if we're talking megacorps, then presumably the people can pick which megacorp's social credit score they want to maxx. We could have a plausible explanation for the origins of different factions within one city, that way!

Note that I did not and do not claim that not making enough money to ignore the costs of groceries makes one a stupid loser.

I do, however, find this whole waffling distasteful - not merely noting the brokenness of systems but expressing the "chumpitude" of following the rules. Pick one, damn it - either start stealing from self-checkout stores or find some dignity in being a productive and honest member of society.

Many cyberpunk-adjacent works nowadays put focus not just on the oppression, but also on the ignoble state of the people.

Well - social contributions will be worth something, that's the point. We (at the risk of manufacturing consensus) want a UBI society to look like the glass utopia from that one meme where everyone is fit, pleasant and driven, not cyberpunk.

Decent is in the eye of the beholder, and seeing as Elon hasn't stopped making money he clearly doesn't have enough.

Some people like the system more than the setting.

If you're spending your thoughtspace seething about a fat lady getting groceries for free, you're not making decent money.

Only humiliating after you a) realize they were laughing at you, not with you, b) decide that you care.

I disagree. Humiliation requires that the humiliated person is painfully aware that he's being walked all over. To the extent "humiliation" applies, it only applies to the right-wingers who hate the Somalis, not the left-wingers who love them.

Is a human humiliated by his tapeworm?

You may call him stupid for not taking deworming medicine. But humiliated?

Gotta say, Ironman might be the only way to play that kind of game for me because otherwise, I'm in reload hell.

Isaac definitely feels like one of those games that are fun to play but not watch. Northernlion's success of playing Isaac on camera for 10 million episodes is mostly due to his yapping skill.

AFAIK Bill Cosby was canceled for sex stuff and he's black. Is he "coded as a white elite" too? Or are "elite-coded" and "white elite-coded" synonymous?
