Here's another take on a song which has been running through my head a lot these days —
"Satan thought up a plan
Dressed as a man
Walking the earth and since he began
The world is hell for you and me
But what a heaven it will be
When that man is dead and gone."

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

Self-reflection in times of tragedy, like what we have seen in Sydney overnight, is always important.
Ask yourself:
- are the voices you are listening to trying to polarize your view into hatred?
- do you really need to share disturbing footage on?
- are you making yourself the main character?

There is no justification for owning a gun.
Unless you are a member of the military, law enforcement or a farmer there is simply no need for it.
We must rid our streets of every unnecessary firearm in the country. Enough. We can not be allowed to follow America’s morally bankrupt culture.

Because it’ll probably come up a bit - Australia didn’t ban guns, but we did get a lot more selective about who’s licensed to own which kinds.
There’s a gun store literally three blocks from me right now that I walk past regularly - it has hundreds on display. Farm and sporting, long and short.

If someone says that they like something and your response is "Really? Because it's actually awful," what precisely do you think is going to happen next?

Sorry to everyone who thinks there should be fewer romances involving grief, but we all just lived through a mass death/disabling historical event with absolutely zero public rhetoric about it (or the fact that it’s ongoing) and grief romances is one big way we’re all Working That Out

When you say only the “genuinely disabled” should receive support, you’re aiding fascism.
When you say people are scamming the system, you’re aiding fascism.
Many disabilities are invisible and it’s hard to get support.
People aren’t scamming. That’s “useless eater” rhetoric designed to divide.

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

The phrase "trans activist" is goofy because like 95% of the time it's used it refers to a trans person simply existing.
Media, pointing at a woman buying a coffee: behold, a trans activist.
Woman: buying coffee is not activism stop being so fucking weird
Media: trans activist criticizes media
