#behind the curve

[sidescout]

I mean, I'm all for not mocking people, but it isn't even the case that all conspiracy theorists are scientifically illiterate. I know several engineers who believe ancient alien stuff bundled with some creative views on how physics works, for instance. I know someone who educates others not to believe in chemtrails and antivaxxing but believes in witchcraft. And I can't help but wonder how come I, not even having a particular passion for hard sciences, turned out respecting their findings while people educated right along with me turned out very different. I think a part of people are just gonna be like this and all you can do is try to minimize the harm they do to public health and their own family members, and not try to convince or "recover" them for science in any way. I'll watch the documentary tho

I really like what this physicist, Lamar Glover, has to say in Behind the Curve.

The Hard Way is the only way I know how to do anything and embracing that has been critical progress.

if trans people ought to receive whatever reconstructive medical procedures they desire, and indeed they ought, then this cannot be specifically because they are trans, nor even specifically because they are the gender that they are—first, because this would reify transness as a medical status that demands treatment, which is an unacceptable concession to the authority of pathologizing narratives; and second, because there is no tenable argument that can be given for helping a trans person receive the medical intervention(s) they may desire that would not spill across the boundaries of both whatever gender the intervention is "supposed" to be for (why shouldn't a cis man be given a breast augmentation if he wants one?) and what are considered "gendered" physical traits in the first place (why shouldn't a trans woman get to have a surgically produced tail if such technology exists one day INSHALLAH).

the cop that likes to set up a speed trap Directly behind my house was back last night. Why the fucker thinks he needs to throw on his sirens at ass o clock every time someone misses the slow down speed limit sign is beyond me. The neighbor dogs got into 10-30 min howling sessions as the lot of them kept eachother worked up Every Time super pig caught someone. That was not fun

This morning though. This morning. I was woken by my neighbor attempting to corrall one of her animals and or children back to her yard and out of mine. Which she has had to do many times before and she always does it in the same way.

By following it to where it's hiding under my back porch (directly below my bedroom window) and repeatedly saying "I love you" until it calms and comes out to her.

Terrible sleep experience 0/10 stars.

Today I got the side eye from a bunch of teenagers while playing retro music in the car. I consider this a badge of honor

More Raiden screencaps as I replay MK11! He looks wonderful in the Fire Gardens.

There's many more screenshots of him (and others!) to come soon, no doubt.

As of yet undecided if Jonah Simms is a bad boss or a good boss

Like on the one hand the fact that when his cute subordinate was like "do i have to do this bc I think I'll die" he immediately went " no of course not"

But on the other hand: he did worry he might still have to do it which isn't the best sign

I feel it there In the middle of the night When the lights go out And I'm all alone again

Say what you want But say it like you mean it with your fists for once A long, cold war with your kids at the front Just give it one more day then you're done

I do what I want Crying in the bleachers and I said it was fun I don't need anything from anyone It's just not my year But I'm all good out here
