Jokes on you, I don't have testicles.

So on some level, sure, boo hoo, cry me a river, right?

But wealth, serious wealth, orders of magnitude disproportionate wealth will fuck you up. It isolates you from the majority of people, makes you paranoid, makes you unable to reasonably judge your success... There's a Some More News on this, with links to a lot of research, and at this point, I honestly feel like gently separating people from any amount of money over 999m USD at most and using part of it to pay for therapy and the rest to help the rest of humanity might be the kindest thing we could do for them.

Usually he doesn't pause during that spiel, so I don't buy it being intentional. It's normally FEAR FEAR FEAR patter the whole time.

I really, really hate that he's still enough of a force in our politics that I feel the need to keep aware of him enough to know this.

Super weird how it's made up but I watched video of the event.

Better hope nothing gets made up at the debates, Donny.

I would love to see research data pointing either way re #1, although it would be incredibly difficult to do so ethically, verging on impossible. For #2, people have extracted originals or near-originals of inputs to the algorithms. AI generated stuff - plagiarism machine generated stuff, runs the risk of effectively revictimizing people who were already abused to get said inputs.

It's an ugly situation all around, and unfortunately I don't know that much can be done about it beyond not demonizing people who have such drives, who have not offended, so that seeking therapy for the condition doesn't screw them over. Ensuring that people are damned if they do and damned if they don't seems to pretty reliably produce worse outcomes.

And neveryoumind if society as we know it is a mighty pile of suck for people not at the top. Shoulda been born rich white christian cishet males.

You're missing 1.5: Make it impossible for people who every professional medical association of good repute says said medication help, get the medication by prescription.

The problem in his view, as best I can tell, is that there is a natural hierarchy, that he belongs on top of telling everyone else what to do, and any upset of this natural hierarchy is oppressing him. He may not have thought this out in so many words, but it's a hypothesis that seems to make accurate predictions about what people in his reference class will do and say.

Sorry, am I confused about what you are saying? Because it seems like you are being snarky about the idea that the Republican party will not do what it has been doing and loudly announcing it will continue to do since 2020. Really, trump started in 2016, but he did actually win that one electorally.

Am I misunderstanding you?

Came here to post that I would only be satisfied by an adaptation of this.

I mean, it is a complex issue, and there are two sides of it. One of the sides is doing a genocide. The other side makes attacks when they can, killing much smaller numbers. If suddenly the power balance switched, I'm not convinced Hamas wouldn't go for doing a genocide.

What actually matters here is that nobody should be doing genocides, both sides have reason to say, "they started it!", and it's not going to end until both sides can accept that yes, shit happened, bad things were intentionally done by people, and everyone needs to move on, or there will be another round, and another, and another, and another...

"Don't kill queer people," is outsiders imposing their opinion. A constitution that applies to everyone doesn't necessarily follow what locals are going to want to do.
