  • To claim that it’s entirely environmental is to flaunt longstanding understanding on how genetics works. Nobody looks at border collies, with their high intelligence, and say “oh it’s just environment”, or chihuahuas being territorial little shits and say “oh it’s just environment”. These dogs were ENGINEERED to be this way, it’s in their bones.

    Pitbulls have been specifically bred for their toughness, their aggression, their locking jaw, and because you happened to get a couple good ones doesn’t invalidate the fact that they are statistically one of the most dangerous breeds to own.









  • I’m currently using a Samsung S21, but once this thing eats it I’m done with Samsung. I’m sick of the OS updating and installing 6-7 garbage programs on my device without my consent.

    I’m going to get a Nokia G42, just buy it outright and be done with the payment plan model. Nokia actually teamed up with iFixIt so I can do service on my own phone without needing to go through Verizon. Easily replaceable battery so I can buy an extra one and have it for when I’m traveling. SD card slot! Headphone jack!! And it’s only like 1/4 the cost of a flagship.

    It also runs vanilla Android.


  • Saying that atheism is a religion makes as much sense as saying that theism is a religion. Neither of them are religions, they’re precursors to religion. I consider myself an atheist, but simply stating that I lack a belief that there is a God doesn’t itself become a fundamental part of my personality. Sure, there are people out there who get obsessed with the philosophical and social aspects of atheism, and they let it consume their whole personality, but I wouldn’t call fishing a religion just because somebody has an aberrant proclivity for it.


  • I still listen to them. I can separate the art from the artist. Hell, it’s hard to find a clean soul in a good artist out there, sometimes. I can’t deny that You Won’t Get What You Want was one of the most visceral experiences I’ve ever had listening to an album. Sometimes you can listen to something with knowledge of the experiences of the artist who made it and it can change or enhance your experience. Kind of like listening to Manson’s old folk music…

    Regardless, yeah he’s a piece of shit. Doesn’t change the fact that Daughters is damn good music. At least YWGWYW. Hell Songs and Canada Songs are kind of meh for me.
