Oh god, Twitter is having the shoplifting discourse

people don't want to be called out for their bad behavior so they keep trying to justify it

like even if you don't care about the employees you'll be affecting more than the big company (people try to hand wave it with "they've got insurance" & "I was an employee at Place and never cared"), it's a bad idea for yourself. Certain places are going to notice but not charge you. . . until they can hit you hard with a much worse charge.

Sorry I don't believe you're really in a bad position where stealing is more understandable when you're swiping makeup and art supplies. What a first world problem

Something something -- Twitter is just Tumblr on a two-year delay -- something.

It's also pretty damning to see all these higher-profile artists talk about 'lol, I only made it through college because I stole art supplies from this store. Cry some more'

Bitch, I'm more than certain most of you guys are American citizens with American or nationalized parents. Apply for some damn Financial Aid.

Meanwhile, I'm the daughter of someone who has never been able to get so much as a green card due to the American Immigration System being dogshit so I wasn't able to apply for Financial Aid to go to college until my early 20s and yet I never had the thought of 'Hm, I should steal luxury products I don't need in order to survive'.

They’re trying to prosecute Trump for a five year old misdemeanor meanwhile we keep uncovering evidence of fraud from the Biden family. More than 150 reports of suspicious activity regarding Hunter and James Biden. Like nine members of that family have received millions of dollars from the Chinese government??

But no the important crime to go after is Trump allegedly falsifying business records in order to pay hush money to a porn star.

Concept: a D&D-style fantasy setting where humanity’s weird thing is that we’re the only sapient species that reproduces organically.

Dwarves carve each other out of rock. In theory this can be managed alone, but in practice, few dwarves have mastered all of the necessary skills. Most commonly, it’s a collaborative effort by three to eight individuals. The new dwarf’s body is covered with runes that are in part a recounting of the crafters’ respective lineages, and in part an elaboration of the rights and duties of a member of dwarven society; each dwarf is thus a living legal argument establishing their own existence.

Elves aren’t made, but educated. An elf who wishes to produce offspring selects an ordinary animal and begins teaching it, starting with house-breaking, and progressing through years of increasingly sophisticated lessons. By gradual degrees the animal in question develops reasoning, speech, tool use, and finally the ability to assume a humanoid form at will. Most elves are derived from terrestrial mammals, but there’s at least one community that favours octopuses and squid as its root stock.

Goblins were created by alchemy as servants for an evil wizard, but immediately stole their own formula and rebelled. New goblins are brewed in big brass cauldrons full of exotic reagents; each village keeps a single cauldron in a central location, and emerging goblings are raised by the whole community, with no concept of parentage or lineage. Sometimes they like to add stuff to the goblin soup just to see what happens – there are a lot of weird goblins.

Halflings reproduce via tall tales. Making up fanciful stories about the adventures of fictitious cousins is halfling culture’s main amusement; if a given individual’s story is passed around and elaborated upon by enough people, a halfling answering to that individual’s description just shows up one day. They won’t necessarily possess any truly outlandish abilities that have been attributed to them – mostly you get the sort of person of whom the stories could be plausible exaggerations.

To address the obvious question, yes, this means that dwarves have no cultural notion of childhood, at least not one that humans would recognise as such. Elves and goblins do, though it’s kind of a weird childhood in the case of elves, while with halflings it’s a toss-up; mostly they instantiate as the equivalent of a human 12–14-year-old, and are promptly adopted by a loose affiliation of self-appointed aunts and uncles, though there are outliers in either direction.

You know, we live in a world where certain works like the SCUM manifesto were used as pivotal elements of feminist theory, where ideology is built on the backs of radical theory and where it's become interestingly difficult to find the more critical views on radical feminism that used to exist...

And the simple fact that the Wikipedia article for the Duluth model includes the part: 'One part of this model is the men's behaviour change program 'Creating a Process of Change for Men who Batter' [also known as the Duluth Curriculum]. The Duluth Curriculum is the most common batterer intervention program used in the United States.[4] Overall, the Duluth Model is successful because it is grounded in the experience of victims, helps offenders and society change, and pulls the whole community together to respond.[5] However, some critics argued that it neglected male victims and female perpetrators of abuse.[4]'

Which is, very distinctly putting an opinion on things?

Yes, one could say that we have reasons to be concerned about insidious pressures of revisionist history AS WELL AS overt attacks on our freedoms by political enemies.

But ignoring that these things exist because the right-wing are pusing more overt actions is not what I call a very reasoned response.
