  • How the hell do you wreck lentil soup that bad? Heck, there are lots of different cultures around the world that make tasty lentil soup. There's German lentil soup with potato, carrot, and ham; there's Indian dal in a range of flavors and colors; there's Turkish Ezogelin soup with bulgur and paprika ...

  • ADOM's Tower of Eternal Flame will burn you and your equipment if you're not adequately protected. It's also harsh on certain characters that usually benefit from heat!

    Are you trying to save human lives? Reduce suffering? Reduce some specific harm, such as from pandemics, or from severe weather due to climate change, or from trampling by elephant? Cure the specific disease that killed your great-aunt? Stomp Nazis?

    If you say what you think is worth doing, people can point you to specific groups that are doing it.

  • What is a story in a song that would make a good movie?

    Jump

  • Harry Chapin's "What Made America Famous?" got an unsuccessful musical, but never a film. In a modern update, the song's "hippies" are instead gutter punks squatting an abandoned building, and the fat plumber is the one non-MAGA in the town's volunteer fire department.

  • If you consider yourself a Christian and act in self-defence, you don’t truly believe

    Jump

  • Christian tradition teaches that we are the hands of God; that God gets things done in the world through the instrumentality of human action. When you do an act of kindness for your neighbor, you are instantiating God's kindness; when you defend your neighbor from harm or oppression, you are instantiating God's protection.

    One of the big differences between Martin Luther King Jr.'s ideology of nonviolence and Mahatma Gandhi's ideology of nonviolence is that King accepted self-defense while Gandhi rejected it. Dr. King carried a pistol in his early career, and was later defended by armed bodyguards; while Gandhi rejected armed protection and called for oppressed people to surrender to their oppressors. So empirically, rejection of self-defense is less Christian and more Hindu.

  • Almost every heterosexual has more often pleased someone of their own gender than the opposite one

    Jump

  • Heterosexuality and homosexuality are subsets of allosexuality (sexual attraction and behavior towards others). Autosexual acts such as masturbation are not allosexual and so do not contribute to heterosexual or homosexual identity.

    Example: A lesbian trans woman might masturbate using her penis, even though she has no attraction to penis-havers, just because she happens to be equipped with one.

    Example: A heterosexual cis woman might masturbate using her vulva, even though she has no attraction to vulva-havers, just because she happens to be equipped with one.

    Regardless of the political system, humanity has never overcome feudalism.

    Jump

  • Feudalism, where economic power comes from control of the land and familial connection to the conquerors of the land, was broadly supplanted by capitalism, where economic power comes from control of commercial and industrial capital, which are traded openly in capital markets.

    Capitalism has several features that feudalism does not:

    • The most productive property in capitalism is industrial and commercial capital: the means of industrial production and trade. While land remains profitable, it is no longer the center of economic productivity; and ownership of the land does not convey the sort of dominion over its use that it did in feudalism. (Nobody thinks it's weird to build a factory on leased land, for instance: the ownership of the industrial capital does not follow the ownership of the underlying land.)
    • Shares of productive property (capital) can be freely bought and sold in capital markets. In feudalism, productive property (land) changes hands through warfare, political processes such as the elevation of new lords by a king, and familial processes such as marriage and inheritance.
    • Contract law becomes supremely important in capitalism, as capitalist firms are largely creatures of contract law rather than traditional rights.
    • The capitalist managerial class by and large does not arise out of the families of the feudal aristocracy, and does not conduct itself according to the social rituals of the feudal aristocracy. For instance, corporate mergers are not arranged through marriage of the heirs of CEOs.
    • Although this is not fully true of early capitalism, in modern capitalism workers are typically free to leave their jobs, and employers are broadly free to fire them if they are not productive. In most forms of feudalism, serfs are bound to the land and may not lawfully leave their lord's service.

    On that last point — Capitalism emerged out of colonialism. Many of the first firms traded on capital markets were colonial enterprises such as the Dutch East India Company (VOC). These firms employed slave labor and enjoyed legal monopolies on trade. This puts the lie to the libertarian claim that capitalism requires free labor and free trade. Capitalism is perfectly compatible with slavery and monopoly. For later examples see the United Fruit Company and other American colonial ventures.

  • You have been in a prison of bone for your entire life

    Jump

  • Your body is not a life-support system for your mind. Rather, your mind is a guidance system for your body. Bodies were first; and developed minds to be better at doing body stuff.

  • Having to manage cables is a very 80s thing that we still have to do in 2025.

    Jump

  • I once worked in an office where the IT people would go around and zip-tie the cables to the furniture in the conference rooms, in ways that invariably led to the cables coming under tension and eventually fraying and breaking. (Especially some of the pricier laptop charging cables.)

    I'd snip the offending zip-ties (selectively) when I noticed, but they went through a lot of expensive charging cables because someone thought slack cables looked messy.

    European-Americans need better leadership role models to show them that education and hard work — not violence, promiscuity, and criminality — are the right ways to get ahead.

    Low-skill players "rope" (slow play) in online games so that they will lose fewer games per hour played. A player with a higher win rate can still lose more games per hour than a roper.
