You can only dehumanize people so much before they come to see it is you who lacks any humanity. Don't expect kindness or even civility from those you've treated as subhuman.

I think that's part of it but the other part is it's men -and in this case especially rich men - and they already don't do those tasks, so they don't see them. This is why we're getting Samsung TV's with ads and not fridges that remind us to eat the lettuce before it spoils

This is the tell that they don't want people with creative capacity. They want menials and drones that they can use extract wealth from their lives and labors, then discard before the next quarterly report.

The actual cruel burden is the point.

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

"I 'settled' for a pretty girl the boys won't be impressed by & she didn't fall in love. I'll buy one instead & then men will slobber over me. Heterosexuality is so hard."

Oh buddy, you're already centering men in your sexual pursuits.

Yes, I think this is right. Shame is complex. It often backfires. But it was undeniably a force in helping me shed the conservatism I was raised with.

The Necessity of Shame

Shame is dangerous, yes. That doesn’t mean it’s dispensable.

He didn't take to The Boys either. Fortunately he loved Pantheon & Blue Eye Samurai or I'd have had to Hansel Gretel him in the woods.

I'm waiting for the stats on how many SA's & rapes occur when these people are kidnapped. I bet it's waaaaayyy up there. I'm sure these yahoos are not pledging to not commit war crimes.

An absolute mystery why women are driven out of male-dominated spaces.

It was such a unique, wild show. I tried to get my nephew into it & he passed. I'm not saying I love him less because of that but I'm not not saying that either.

Here’s an angle for a journalist looking for a fresh take on the White House “Antifa” roundtable — most of the people who participated are employed by or have a direct financial connection to Turning Point USA. I think that’s pretty telling, no?

Speaking of Star Wars/vampires. Made this recently & learned Pascal had been a vampire too. (I knew he'd been in Buffy but didn't know he was a vampire.)

Witwer is my favorite.
