the first thing I saw when I started splatoon 2
In the glittering postcyberpunk future of America 2017, a vast array of digital delights await just moments away, but human beings are still cruel to each other, and the shadow of economic inequality looms over the land.

Eventually vape pens that look like briar (or corncob) pipes will be a thing, I’m surprised not yet
If he were a Millenial, would Douglas McArthur vape from a corncob pipe?

Women are sexy and empowered, check.
Men are ugly and predatory, check.
The typical explanation for why complaining about sexism in movies is not trying to tell people what movies they’re allowed to make is that it’s about the overall pattern of sexism in movies, rather than any specific movie.

no no to avoid call outs you have to exist in a state of quantum uncertainty where you neither interact nor not interact with any other cultures
Alright, alright, fine.
We’ll just get all the white people to sign up for the various PoC cultures, then have a final battle to the death in the Australian outback using those cultures’ traditional weaponry. The winning faction gets to be the official most #Woke and all the remaining white people will be genetically modified to fit into it.
the camgirl discourse is interesting because it bumps into all these subterranean intuitions about women lacking power and moral agency which date back to when women were explicitly denied power and moral agency, plus the usual slut-shaming which typically lies beneath a thin veneer of weak sex positivity.
so when women choose to do sex work as independent operators without the traditional threat of male violence (pimps, street harassment, cops) and use the internet to cut out the middleman and simultaneously keep their customers at a safe distance, it completely upsets the apple cart.
the result tends to be discourse flailing around trying to find a patriarchal reason for why they feel compelled to engage in sex work in the first place, instead of doing something more meaningful and rewarding and yes less slutty dammit
Legalize prostitution, ban adultery.

Not literally, though, of course. If you huff too much from that inhaler you’ll have an overdose and start believing American newsmedia, so only inhale just the little bit that you need to keep your soul alive.

Ah, but for whom is the trustee model written?
Not for those who have a healthy parent-child model, which is difficult to explain and loaded with intuition, but for those who do not.
The trustee model is presented for those who can only see things as “the parent owns the child” or “the state owns the child”, with no in-between or drift from the axis, including various hypercapitalists. It is a framework to grasp at which is either safer for the children if they stop there, or allows a departure from that mindset altogether.

This is one of those things where you can’t be sure if it’s real or fake because people really are that clueless.
