I don’t know where I read it but the best defence to “if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear” is “I don’t have anything to hide but I don’t trust your judgment or intentions”
just me

thank you lemmy, for showing me this post 2 days after it was made
but then suddenly somewhere in the description of them eating stale bread it turns out 2 weeks have passed
I think this is Tolkien describing the history of the world. Like I get it, important council, but it’s been 5 pages please, I will remember none of the 10 new character names I don’t even know how to pronounce
the sound design of the real world is rather boring and often unappealing. Sound designers on movies are gods of those audiotary universes, they will paint it however they want
dang, what does the rod do? It was sold under the name of “knife sharpener”
yeah it’s really weird. Like if someone said something racist/otherwise bigoted i’d try to argue with them too? And pointing out they have no valid sources for their bigotry is an effective tactic that might make them question their beliefs
oh that reminds me, I need a proper whetstone, the metal rod thingy from tesco’s is just not (making it so my knives are properly) cutting it
nah IQ tests are more or less bullshit, they’re incredibly flawed and biased, only situation you’d see me talking about them at lenght is bashing the entire concept of trying to quantify general intelligence
mmm, unironically sounds like me. According to my iq test i had PhD level intelligence at 18, and what am i doing at 24? unemployed, playing video games, and crying
oh same haha, if someone asks me a question they’re getting the answer, i don’t care that they expected a “i’m fine”
I for once would like to see the rise of Bitter
to this day, I find 15 million merits to be one of the most terrifying episodes.
Would you sell your soul for a peaceful life?
I don’t know about you but I can’t answer that question. And it terrifies me.
be advised: this will not work with the majority of neurodivergent people
that’s the one guaranteed one we have!
lack of a conclusion makes it more likely to be true. Fiction usually has a conclusion, life usually doesn’t
as a queer person in the now I do not think this is comparable, at all.
how so?
edit: if you mean the “Sir/Ma’am” bit I belive it is a valid assumption to make that a transphobe wouldn’t consider other options lmao
I know right? It baffles me how transphobes use “science” to be transphobic, like Sir/Ma’am, where in the chromosomes is it written “woman” or “man” or any of the stereotypes attached to those words. We made that shit up, we looked at what was there and then added meaning to it that wasn’t there. We interpreted the data according to our current age’s biases. Sure those wiggly things usually determine the parts you’re born with, but where in those parts is it written that women are soft and belong in the kitchen?
If you were to do some unethical science you can even add/block hormones that go into the fetus during its development for it to develop bits that it wouldn’t normally. Hell, you can do that well after birth and new features will develop because human bodies are rather “customisable”
sorry rant over, I don’t often get to talk about this from this perspective because getting into the intricacies of subjectivity of science in regards to how human beings and our languages are flawed is a bit too advanced for the average bigot
I’m sure there’s plenty of people of colour who suck at cooking. Those are just stereotypes used for an Internet joke
ohhh thank you! yeah my 2 year old knives definitely need a whetstone at this point. I suppose the honing rod can only help you so far
