but Peter Singer

The same Peter Singer that said that if you’re elderly and have dementia you should euthanize them, yet when his own mother had Alzheimer’s he spent money on her healthcare? Or the same Peter Singer that argued that it’s pretty much ok to rape disabled people? Fuck Peter Singer, his whole philosophy is whack and he doesn’t even stick to it himself.

Let’s be honest, most users on this site are these guys (or were at some point).

Yeah honestly the PUA stuff is pretty solid advice as long as it’s not using shaky evo-psych to justify it or any other red pill stuff. Like a straight cis young man should know how to navigate various social interactions in life, whether it’s interacting with your grandmother or that girl you think is cute sitting next to you in the library.

If you wanna “shoot your shot” (so to speak) then there’s gotta be some advice on how to do it. A lot of the lib twitter feminist space (usually also TERFy) will tell young men that “you should meet a nice girl” while at the same time telling them “don’t approach a woman at a coffee shop or library cuz they don’t wanna be bothered.” So where does a guy go? To a noisy club or bar filled with superficial people? Honestly it’s like they’re talking out of both sides of their mouth. I’d venture to say that real women won’t be too bothered being approached in a coffee shop or library (or any other non-bar/club area) as long as you don’t approach in a “weird/creepy” way and the overall interaction is fun and adds to their day positively. Even if they’re in a committed and healthy relationship, a nice interaction is just that, a nice interaction.

Yeah I’d speculate that most judges in US family courts are:

• conservatives that believe in “traditional” gender roles (cuz of some kind of 1950s nostalgia, reactionary stuff, etc.) or

• liberals that also believe in “traditional” gender roles (likely due to holdovers from 2nd wave feminism and/or TERF stuff).

I mean most cosmological theories at this point are speculative right? As long as the math is pretty people seem to like it (e.g. string theory).

Did you vote for Brandon?

Yeah but this is one of those sticky subjects because of cultural issues and the basically nonstop history of human cuisine being intertwined with meat eating. As far as I know, no society has ever been vegan. There have been pockets of vegetarianism but nothing all the way vegan. The only solution I see is some kind of lab grown meat/milk/eggs. Then maybe in the future people can go vegetarian or vegan if they choose.

I mean in theory I’m not against this. Like it sucks when a 19 year old can bounce back from a sports injury after like 3 months when it would take almost a year (plus many more months of daily physical therapy) for someone a little older. It also sucks that they can eat like shit and drink like all night and then get up the next day with barely any hangover and do shit the next day. Or how young people don’t need tons of lotion to keep their skin nice.

I know ppl clown on the idea cuz it’s always the rich and powerful silicon valley types that are into it, but sometimes biology just isn’t fair. In some ways I consider it a form of discrimination: like why are some ppl tall and others short, why do some keep their hair and why do others lose it, etc. If there was a pill or injection (or series of pills/injections) that essentially “tricked” your genes into thinking they were always 25 (or 22, or whatever age) then it would be kinda nice. Not from a beauty standpoint but looking at overall health, since aging is also linked to things like cancer, heart disease, etc. I know it’s cliche that “youth is wasted on the young,” but it’s kinda true. Like you have a much more sturdy body but not enough experience on how to best enjoy it.

I can’t help but think that a lot of leftist pushback on this is simply contrarianism or a (rightful) critique of capitalist inequality in terms of health. But imagine if Cuba or China came up with youth extension and/or age reversal technologies that were simple and safe? What would the opinion be then?

The Democrats will literally send people to their death just to stomp even the most lukewarm change:
