With vegans going so hard on here to shame bloodmouths, I've decided I'm going to do the same but for anti-natalism (hexbear.net)

If anyone on here dares bring up that they have had, or are expecting, offspring, I'm going to go ham on them for daring to bring a creature into the world that can experience pain against it's will and dooming it to suffering and death.

Breeders can fuck off.

Bloodmouths: Meat tastes soooo good!

Breeders: The dopamine rush from interacting with a kinda clone of yourself feels soooo good!

bi women are hets who are pretending to be into girls

There’s also some rad fems who think bi women are lesbians holding onto some attraction to men they were conditioned to have.

If we’re talking people who are cool with straight and gay people but have a problem with bi people specifically: it’s usually a relationship insecurity think.

The assume bi people need constant sexual gratification from both genders and as such are incapable of true monogamy because if they end up with a male partner they will soon yearn for a female one and cheat, and if they end up with a female partner they’ll soon yea... well you get the idea. So they create this narrative that bi people are just going through some hyper sexual stage of their life where they’ll accept any gratification and if they want a more stable relationship they’ll have to ID what gender they actually want to be with.

Totally not speaking for a year long relationship with a very insecure women who couldn’t stand the fact I had hooked up with a few guys before her.

Uh, sir, this is ChapoChat, what else do we have to do but discuss how great Fallout New Vegas is and debate China?

astrology is random, so it corresponds to reality more than personality psychology, a project of bourgeois eugenicists in c/[email protected]

I openly admitted my evidence was anecdotal and anecdotal evidence is what I provided. Also my claim was in response to another claim that “it was totally harmless” and that guy didn’t back it up with any evidence so why do you go hound him for some.

And this all circles back to my main question, why do so many on the left seem hell bent to defending the valor of astrology? I didn’t advocate outlawing it or being mean to people who were into it, fuck I said it was harmless 90% of the time. I just said I didn’t think it was 100% harmless and that was enough to get some debate bros jumping down my goddamn throat.

I really don’t know if any organizations that gathers hard statistics on things like “how many astrology nerds are weirdos who take it too far and are obnoxious about it.”

We’re putting anecdote against anecdote here. The “it’s totally harmless” camp doesn’t really have any hard data to back up their assertions, it’s all just anecdote for them to. I don’t know why the counter claim needs a doctoral thesis to back it up.

Hun?

I mean yeah my evidence is all anecdotal but I promise you I ain’t lying. Maybe I’m just in an area with a bizarrely high amount of people who take astrology ridiculously too far, but if you go on astrology YouTube and Twitter you’ll probably find some figures to back up what I’m saying. They probably won’t be the most popular ones but they’re out there.

I’m gonna disagree with the “it’s totally harmless” line. It is for like 90% of people into it, but I’ve also seen the other 10%. It can be a gateway into other pseudoscientific thinking, I’ve seen a lot of astrology people get into anti-vax shit. And on a more interpersonal level some start taking it so seriously it starts affecting their relationships, like they can mediate any conflict with a family member or friend without a discussion of their astrological sign to the point their loved ones get fed up talking to them about it. I’ve seen breakups happen over this.

And beyond that, as I mentioned above, I think it’s obnoxious and rude to demand everyone you know have a discourse with you about something they believe in but other dont. We wouldn’t hesitate to call this out if it were Christians injecting Jesus into every convo or STEM bros demanding to know everyone’s Briggs-Myers or IQ, but for whatever reason people demanding they know your sign before they talk to you gets a pass.

I find this impulse to redeem astrology in the left fucking weird. If we don’t want to be associated with Reddit STEM bros who hate it we should just be silent on the issue. But just because something is popular with LGBT people doesn’t mean it’s not a load of nonsense that’s obnoxious to bring up in literally every damn conversation fucking ever, like seriously why does EVERY GODDAMN convo with a new person I meet have to open with what my birthday is so they can chart out my fucking personality for me!

Sorry, I live near an art school.

Bored and lonely, anyone wanna hear my concept for a new Fallout game that will never get made? (hexbear.net)
 

So it’s 90% inspired by New Vegas.

The idea is some of the Followers of the Apocalypse in the Mojave were so horrified by the atrocities of the Legion that they decided to abandon the groups non-violent principals and join the NCR military. Mostly in support roles but some became full Rangers. After the courier defeats the Legion and makes New Vegas independent these former Followers began getting shuffled around the NCR. Many of them start becoming disillusioned with the bureaucracy, corruption and exploitation they see in the NCR military and society and begin agitating among soldiers and workers. A group called the Wasteland Workers Party forms, called the WW by most.

Eventually the WW convinces a group of Ghouls who do scavenging work in radioactive areas to go on strike. In solidarity a bunch of other strikes spark across the NCR, eventually becoming a general strike that even has some support from lower ranks in the military. The NCRs response varies from region to region, in some areas they come to an agreement with the workers, in others they violently suppress them. One border region has a full rebellion, largely because an ex-Follower ranger managed to radicalize almost all the soldiers stationed there, as well as a small army of Zinc miners who had formally been living in debt slavery to wealthy NCR mine owners. This area is in what case central Colorado, now just called “The Rockies Waste”.

Because of how far they are from California and how well fortified their position the NCR isn’t confident they can take back this region so they simply set up a military base on its border and make tentative plans to either take or negotiate it back. Meanwhile the residents of the Rockies are trying to organize a more egalitarian social order, but struggle due to their isolation.

To the North in Wyoming the Great Khans have set up a nomadic empire who’s hatred of the NCR makes them sympathetic to the rebels, to the East the Great Plains are now controlled by the Army of Steel, a group of former Brotherhood of Steel members who abandoned the group isolationist ways and have now become an expansionist army bent on acquiring any and all advanced technology and have made a massive army of former raiders by loaning them energy weapons and power armor rigged with explosives that go off if they don’t do what they demand with them. The Army of Steel wants to take the Rockies due to their interest in a area to the South in what was Great Dunes National Park. An odd number of old world robots have been migrating to the Dunes, leading some to believe there is some massive stash of advanced tech there. To the west of the Dunes is a group called The Tribe, and alliance of Souther Western American Indians who decided to try and rebuild their ancient culture after the apocalypse and have rebuilt and re-inhabited the various cliff Pueblos in the southern Rockies, they’re known for their suburb marksmen who take out anyone who ventured too close to their new homes, but their isolation is threaten by both the NCR and the Army of Steel.

In the game you play a caravan guard who was thrown into the Arkansas River by raiders and saved by a doctor but now have amnesia.

But yeah if anyone knows anyone at Bethesda I’m totally willing to sell this shit! I’d prefer Obsidian but that ain’t happening.

Reminder: "not wanting to date trans women stems from y’all not viewing them as “real” women... so yes your “preference” is transphobic." in c/[email protected]

I would agree a straight dude who feels the bizarre need to LOUDLY DECLARE his lack of attraction to trans women is probably just expressing transphobia.

If it just genuinely the case a straight dude has never felt attraction to a trans woman and doubts they ever would, I mean whatever you can’t control who you’re attracted to. I’d say just yah know, keep that to yourself and if a trans woman ever does express attraction to you just politely say “thanks but no thanks”.
