Nah fuck that. Don’t accept material conditions, apply weird morality to them!

Ready for a warzone in here?

Ah. Didn’t realize that was the genre Fringe is. Do they also get into teleportation debates in that fandom?

What does it mean? What did he do in the show?

THAT’s the bitch. You beat me to it

Substack! It’s very academic-coded but you don’t have to be a real professional of any kind. I think you just have to be aesthetically pleasing enough for people to think you are intelligent. I read a guy on reddit talking about how he’d just get drunk and try to get people to flirt with him.

Give me a second. I have to remember the name. It’s pretty mainstream, I think people will dislike that I’ve described it the way I did when I drop the name.

That formal blog place. The one with all the art hoes but it isn’t art, it’s like philosophy and collegiate stuff. I’m spacing the name.

You’re being ridiculous. Cool it with the incivility.

You made that up –.–

Gin’d up. Get out o’ here

Most of them aren’t. I thought I had a filter for stuff with his name in it but apparently I don’t.

you leave my muddah out 'o this!

🤔

Sleepy peeps, unite! If you feel up to it.

Oh! It still exists? I guess I’m glad it didn’t get cannibalized for parts, I enjoyed Ganson’s horny era

Arthur Ganson is a kinetic sculpture artist who I at first thought made this. But that’s probably not true.

My first exposure to one of his machines was this oil pump that rocked back and forth ejaculating all over itself. I was going to link it but it looks like he took it apart to make a less horny version

Didn’t it get a reboot? I remember my cousins and I discovered the original on an Asian bootleg device with 400 games or something.

The humor sensibilities really got to us

Maybe this is on me for engaging to the extent I did, then. I definitely had set out to have a conversation about how religious groups should be more welcome on Lemmy.

I’ll consider what you’re saying about it being a choice that shouldn’t be given the same graces as statuses given through birth. There’s something developing there, but I’m going to have to reflect on that for a while.

But you should consider how on one part of your argument you’re saying women are being compelled to wear their garb and then concluding that belonging to religious frameworks is strictly a choice. This is walking right past their autonomy in a very selectively invalidating kind of way. Though I’m going to try to just take the merits of what you’re saying and leave the rest.

To my knowledge religious status is protected by law from discrimination in the US to the same extent all those others are? Laws are a poor measure of morality but it’s saving the jobs of women who need to wear religious garments in professional settings so it seems moral.

But looking at that church’s Wikipedia page it looks like they’re one of the only denominations to be institutionally changing to include LGBTQ. Seems a little curmudgeonly to say they’re outside the scope of inclusion, especially given the resounding victories progressivism is having in the united states lately
