Ugggh. Who do you think you are, Google?
Come back when you’re a multinational corporation physically embodying the threat of a societal panopticon in order to more efficiently sell Authentic™ skinny mom jeans to hipsters, loser.
[soon your askbox would be full of shitpost asks like Argumate’s and] you’d be tempted to make an ms paint collage for every single one.
This television show blog doesn’t have that kind of animation drawing budget.
But don’t worry. Most anons on this blog do not get a Full Custom™ MS Paint.JPG for their asks. It’s just the rate of images per ask that would reduce.

A monarch is nothing more than the crown jewel worn by the State.
Dual Monachy? I’ve got anons inventing entirely new forms of government right here in my askbox.
But yeah, I probably missed an ask some time in the last 9 hours, so if you sent one, you can send it again.
Also if you didn’t send one you can send one anyway. I tend to leave my askbox out in the open where just anyone could stuff asks in it.

Don’t worry, we’ll get to your other ask, I just didn’t want to dump it in the middle of a big pile of religious argument.

I mean, the incongruence of infinite punishment convinced me more that religion was false than a number of things, so that does make sense.

The grand irony is that all the other medical technologies acquired along the way as part of the general pattern of technological development necessary to achieve enhanced lifespans would very well allow me to achieve much more of my potential.
…to have energy, to have focus, to have executive functioning, for all these to be much less of a battle, why did you think I wanted to live so long in the first place?
There’s a lot of art to make, way more than can be crammed into a single human lifetime, much less a single dysfunctional human lifespan.
The “but living longer will remove meaning from human life!” arguments were always somewhat bizarre to me. Making a book, or a comic book, or a movie, it takes a long time!

I was really expecting to be accused of misogyny, actually. I’m trying to calculate how many levels of misdirection this ask is on.
Maybe it’s about this post?
They can’t undo Toxic Masculinity, because they don’t understand Masculinity, and they don’t want to.
…because that would mean understanding things about themselves that they don’t want to understand, either.
In which the “they” is actually Mainstream Feminists.
Patterns of male behavior are in part driven by what straight women like/don’t like, or more accurately who they treat as hot/not hot, who they date/don’t date, etc.
Undoing what the Mainstream Feminists call “toxic masculinity” would mean that straight women, on average, would have to change, which would mean they’d have to first understand how cishet female preferences shape the very male power/dominance/status hierarchies they ostensibly oppose.
However, Feminism does poorly at attributing agency and power to women (beyond some of the “rah rah, girl power” stuff), as it’s more politically useful to present as the unpowered underdog.
