We trapped a kid on a slide and kept him up there for all of recess until he would admit that Star Wars was better than Star Trek. I felt bad about it even then, but I said nothing lest the pack turn on me next

lol when that happened to me, I disagreed with the pack and I became the pack leader. then we played combat sports like “tackle the man with the ball” and the friendships I made during elementary school persist to this day.

Oddly enough, aspirin is one of the few modern drugs available via traditional medicine. It's derived from tree bark (willow iirc), from which one makes a tea.

I think the fundamental source of bad discourse and word policing in the idpol scene is that somewhere along the line, the moral standard became 'if one person says they they have an issue with this word/thing, we must address it or we are doing harm to them.' Without analyzing any context.

It's some sense of reactionary empathy that leads to these situations where you change policy to supposedly make something less problematic and 99% of whatever marginalized community it was supposed to appease couldn't care less about whatever it was. But they've standardized a set of empathy rules where if even one person has an issue, they feel like they failed. It sounds like an incredibly exhausting way to live.

All of the major NSAIDs are derived to some extent from willow bark. Aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid, involves the addition of an acetyl group, which makes it much gentler on the stomach.

My favourite apocryphal story of tin-eared, context-free wokedom still has to be the time folk were supposedly trying to shut down a freakshow for being offensive and the freaks having to point out that it was one of the few industries where they could earn a wage and the wokes were attacking their livelihood.

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.
