Reminds me of my mom getting remarried several years ago, for about a weekend – dude waited until after the wedding to tell her he expected her at waiting at home with dinner waiting when he finished work.
I dunno, like I get that this version of manhood is “normal” but goddamn is it the most brittle, contemptable fuckin thing
There’s this concept in Buddhism called mudita. It means “sympathetic joy” or “joy felt at another person’s happiness without one’s own bullshit getting in the way.”
I don’t understand why there ain’t more of that in the world. Why put schadenfreude on a fuckin pedestal when you can feel mudita, especially for someone you supposedly love?
Agree with all of this, but also wanted to point out that the guy was seriously insulting teachers and nurses as well.
some middle aged white dude who has never had a problem with his perfectly sculpted body in his life: Does replacing our flesh with metal and circuits… disconnect us from humanity? When you replace man with machine… how long does the soul stay connected?
literally anyone who has had a limiting physical condition, interacted with prosthetics or assistance devices: You really don’t understand the ‘Punk’ of Cyberpunk, do you?
Something a lot of early cyberpunk’s modern imitators don’t seem to grasp is that the reason early cyberpunk treats cybernetic modification with suspicion is because those modifications are often performed against the recipients’ will at the behest of state and corporate interests. It’s an explicit metaphor for the commodification of bodily autonomy under capitalism – and it draws a direct line to contemporary abuses of the same. It’s not by accident that the first chromed-out street samurai to grace the pages of cyberpunk literature is a woman.
I like the OP’s post as well as the preceeding reply. Both make excellent points about cyberpunk and cyborgs.
Alienate Nazis from your content. Make them feel like it is not for them and is explicit in working against them. Whatever ways we can make Nazis feel socially unsafe and unwelcome on the basis of being Nazis is a good deed done.
I’d be happy to do this. Shall we do the same to SJWs too?
Putting “SJWs” on the same level as Nazis? Groundbreaking edge.
SJW’s are as bad you dipshit ass bitches
This is a list of known Holocaust victims. Not a list of all the victims, just those whose names and fates were known even after the destruction of records from the camps. There are 4.2 million names on this list. This does not include modern victims of Nazi violence. It also does not include people killed on the battlefield while attempting to put a stop to this.
Now tell me again how SJWs are just as bad. Be prepared to back up your arguments with a list of names of murder victims. I would accept a list in the hundreds of thousands if that’s what you have, to put SJWs within one order of magnitude of the Nazis.
Saying “x thing I don’t like is worse than Nazis” is a way of normalising and protecting Nazis my dude.
