It’s always lovely to be reminded that eugenics remains a popular idea so long as you don’t call it that.

What we hate is “prompt engineers” demanding respect as though they did an accomplishment. If you want uncritical praise and flattery, stick to the prompt.

yesman@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Man, I really got hit with a "All men are predators, it's in the studies". 2nd wave feminism is a scourge on feminism itself.English3917·13 days agoIn the US, of 100 rapes against girls and women reported to the police, 18 will be prosecuted.
Jeffery Epstein and his cohort abused hundreds of girls, and all anybody cares about is what powerful man might be embarrassed. Has anyone proposed or suggested anything to protect girls from rich perverts?
From the founding till 1951, raping your wife was legal in all 48 states. And that protection extended in several states beyond the federal change. Some states even made common-law husbands immune.
The Christian Bible considers rape to be a property crime. in conservative circles, girls as young as 12 are regularly married off to their rapist.
The leading cause of death for pregnant people in the US is homicide.
I think young women considering men to be a threat is pretty rational.

Rich and powerful men can do whatever they please in this country and nobody cares about that, or who they hurt, only the political outcome matters.

The idea that our nervous system is the true “us” that pilots an inanimate and disposable body is the same dualism concept as a “soul”. Except it lacks the divinity of religion or the accuracy of biology; worst of both worlds. Science-fiction-scripture.

yesman@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•RANT: MAGA is imploding. Stop turning defectors away.552·20 days agoI think the left would benefit more from being open to socialists rather than coddling fascists.
I would be way more sympathetic if these MAGA “defectors” gave a tiny shit about the little girls who got rapped, rather than than being disappointed their side lost this round.
yesman@lemmy.worldto Books@lemmy.world•Hot take: The real monster in Frankenstein is actually the Monster12·20 days agoThe monster is sympathetic until it insists on visiting all of it’s own sufferings on an innocent: his potential bride. In creating the monster, Frankenstein was ignorant to the suffering he’d cause. Not so with the Monster’s plan for a bride. The Monster knows full well that the “bride” will suffer just as he has; he’s counting on it. Therefore no mater how you judge Frankenstein, the Monster is worse.
When Frankenstein and the monster have the conversation in the ice cave, the monster insists that his bride be especially hideous so that it will have no choice but the monster for a companion. Frankenstein is worried that won’t be enough to control a second monster.
These are the only times in the book the agency of this “bride” are ever considered.
What this reveals, again is that MAGA is just vanilla Republicanism with a populist veneer. At the end of the day, it’s just going to be tax-cuts and deregulation because that’s all Republicans know or care about.
