Thing I hate about exercise, it's a fine line between "feel the burn!" and "you've done irreparable damage".

Feels similar to the Plato quote "those who seek power are unworthy of that power".

If I'm not mistaken, all those other terms were imposed on people not really self described.

I think neurodivergent will survive because people can proud to be neurodivergent. It's closer to an identity than a prescriptive label.

I for one am proud to be neurodivergent.

If anything modern day santa is more of an invention of Coca-Cola than Christianity or Paganism.

There are multiple cases where pure chance and human hesitation prevented all out nuclear bombardment in the Cold War.

So for that alone we are extremely lucky.

As a Gen-Z, I feel this divide is the result of our gen growing up on the internet and Gen-Alpha growing up in the internet. Like culturally I feel Gen-Z still had roots to reality hidden behind layers of absurdism and abstraction. Gen-Alpha however feels like it's generating new cultural landmarks with no connections to reality.

Like, skibidi was absurdist humor, which is now being covered by absurdist layers. It's absurdism all the way down! It's like some twisted form of enlightenment. To clarify I don't say this in a necessarily negative light, I just think it's interesting from the viewpoint of our species as a whole.

I know Gen-Z was experiencing a stage of wanting to assert real connections to the world against algorithmic forces, before covid that is, now I think we're a little scattered again.

And his name was, Housman?

You can't convince me the universe doesn't have a morbid sense of humor.

They will assume Skinner is the main character after the only remains being fossilized steamed hams edits.

On the flipside, if the language is too casual you'd end up with people winning cases by being popular and snarky.

Part of the reason why Trump's cases have such a high turnover of lawyers. His antics just don't amuse a judge used to professionalism.

Not saying you don't have a point. After stuff like bees being classified as fish in California to protect them. It's clear to see legalese has gone to far.

I feel like the very idea of "centrist" is flawed. Sure you can choose not to identify with either party.

But for most of these issues you can't reasonably pick a "center" option for most issues. Sure we can argue implementation but you're either ok with abortion, gun control, gay rights, civil rights, or your not.

Is it really useful to have the "control guns" and "control guns only a little" groups fighting when there's a "school kids are a worthy sacrifice for guns" party?

I feel like the people getting upset over this are taking these hypotheticals of "young looking adults just wanting to be able to make porn equally and that technically the community did nothing wrong".

The problem is that just ignores the fact that pedophiles would definitely use communities like that as a "foot in the door" to a comminity that would naturally have a lot of closetted pedophiles. The issue isn't young looking adults making porn, the issue is a community based around youngest possible looking adults is naturally gonna attract and encourage pedophiles.

It's like they say, "all it takes is allowing one nazi in your bar for it to rapidly turn into a nazi bar".

This is about whenever contradiction show up in a system what the general responses would be, but if you want a specific example by me.

I posit that privatized healthcare is a contradiction, base capitalism relies on supply and demand and healthcare will always have infinite demand. So profit motive =/= health motive.

According to the chart, the lefist would suggest getting rid of privatized healthcare in favor of universal healthcare funded by the government without patent gatekeeping.

The conservative would simply not acknowledge any flaw or contradiction.

The centrist would keep the system and implement bandaid half solutions, like state insurance or Obamacare.
