    Even ascribing consciousness into others or ourselves is actually pretty stupid if you think about it.

    Stemming from religion there’s this idea that human “souls” are somehow special and exist on a plane outside reality. But that’s not the case.

    We are just semi-rigid blobs of mostly water that grew into weird shapes.


  • If you see the world that simplistic, maybe you should have refrained from procreating.

    Birth control can fail. Pills can be forgotten or interfere with other medications, IUDs can fall out unnoticed, condoms can break or slip off, etc.

    If you have sex often enough, the chances of having birth control fail at some point creep up to 100%, and if you’re “lucky” that results in a pregnancy, and if the mother either has no access to abortions, or simply doesn’t want one, you have a child.

    Unplanned doesn’t mean unwanted or unloved. Many people in principle would like a child but don’t know if now is the right time and this person is the right partner, but if random chance over, they’ll take that hint and become parents.











  • My great grandma spent the last three years of her life almost immobile from several consecutive strokes, almost blind from several problems she developed over the years, couldn’t smell or taste anything. She was basically dying in slo-mo. Everything failed on her.

    The last months she essentially spent in a constant shit puddle, because here intestines somehow decided not to work properly anymore.

    It’s horrible and inhumane to let people suffer like that. Every diseased stray dog gets more mercy.





  • None of your arguments are really an answer to anything.

    Every app, telegram, simplex, ICQ are single points of failure - by design - whereas services like xmpp/jabber or even the self hosted variants of signal, simplex or matrix don’t have these problems. But they don’t do that. At least nothing that I heard of.

    I think the reality is much more that most of the Nazis are inherently not constructive. They don’t create anything, they have no real vision, just hate for whatever group they think is worst right now.

    They are literal leeches, they take over what they can get. Telegram, Twitter, now SimpleX. Volk ohne Messenger, if you want. There is exactly one platform that was created by them, truth social, and that’s a grift by Trump and his team, not something growing from within the community.
