There’s a fascinating idea that Judas was the one who committed the ultimate sacrifice. That god chose him to be his human incarnate, to truly experience humanity and guilt by committing an ultimate betrayal and becoming the villain of biblical history. All allowing him to finally understand and forgive humanity’s sin, by committing one himself. It follows that this is supposedly maddening knowledge as it breaks the illusion of Christ’s sacrifice.

I’m definitely butchering and ad-libbing the original idea, but I think this makes for a grander story than the traditional “birth myself to sacrifice myself to myself to forgive everyone else” interpretation.

A father-daughter dynamic means he had full control over her formative years and had full ability to groom her.

I highly doubt he was a normal parent for 18 years then suddenly acted creepy and she was just ok with it.

Without speaking to her as a person, it’s certain that if something’s happening it’s the result of grooming, therefore making her an SA victim.

We can recognize that as the tragedy it is and still think she’s a bad person for other reasons, these aren’t mutually exclusive.

I have never needed to haul something before and I’d probably need the backseats more than a pickup.

But I really want that now.

This is the Overton Window, the window of acceptable topics for public discourse, and it’s unrelated to testosterone (I know, surprising /s).

A misaligned Overton Window (like a slow response to an impending disaster) is hard to counteract because the experts dealing with the topic may lose their credibility by trying to push against the window.

But I have heard the theory that the evolutionary reason for autism may be to counteract this effect. A small amount of genuine vocal concern could encourage others to speak out and break the tension surrounding the topic.

This vocal concern is not however gonna come from the evershifting lies of the X and 4chan echo chambers.

Everyday I would wake up with severely sore arms, like they were clenched somehow.

Blood test said Vitamin D deficiency, but the supplements didn’t do anything noticeable. But I was on the border of anemia so they told me to try iron supplements too.

Gone overnight. I’m so used to problems being an exhausting road to recovery that this one took me by surprise.

The people can, but companies still need some kind of income to exist. The owners/ceos will just golden parachute away from the corpse

In order to tangibly pay employees/rent/servers a company needs either profits, subsidies, or a ponzi scheme inflated stocks.

May be unpopular opinion but I think this strategy they’re going for of appealing to Republicans may work to get real change.

In the past we’d offer an olive branch and the republicans would burn the tree down. However if they can effectively split the GOP into republican vs MAGA, maybe the republicans will be less evil or ignorant towards legislation. Enemy of my enemy is my friend.

If they can jack knife the republican party, maybe it’ll move the whole left/right system away from the extreme right and let us stop pretending the alt-right cult deserves any official respect or recognition.

I’m not advocating for letting the right do whatever they want or drag us down. More like I wanna coax them towards the most basic of basic of decency so we don’t get literal threats to democracy anymore.
