“uhhhh he broke the law” it also shouldn’t have to be explained to you that resisting any tyrannical government will, by definition, always require breaking laws. literally always. 100% of the time. without exception.

Wearing a hat is of course an act of bravery. where clothes may accentuate form and become an extension of the body, the hat announces its alienness….It says look at me Im a Hat. It disrupts

My most bespoke parenting opinion is that big screens are perfectly fine for kids but small screens are bad. We have a projector in our living room with a huge 6'x10' screen. When the kids watch things on it, they are in motion. They roll around giggling; they climb on the couch, they burrow in the blankets; they wander off, they talk to each other and to you. When something hilarious happens they'll jump up and down with excitement; when something scary happens they'll snuggle up. And if they're bored they'll walk away. After five minutes of My Little Pony on the big screen this morning, the baby declared "done!" and left.

This is not how they act with an iPad or phone playing the exact same content. They act way, way more glued to the screen. I don't think the baby has ever told me "done!" when handed an iPhone playing Sesame Street. I think the tiny window means their focus is narrowed, and the screen ends up being kind of all-consuming, whereas a big screen is more like a window through which interesting things are happening; a feature of the room, but not the only thing in it. Also with an iPad or phone, a baby wants to interact, press buttons, shake it, move it, but all possible actions just interrupt their show and frustrate them.

We still sometimes resort to a phone as a distraction on long car trips, but my intuition here is that the form factor matters a lot.

there are many ways to be a good contributor to the social commons: one of the simplest is to have the patience to hear people out. it communicates a respect that words can’t convey

When a man isn’t bald by the age of 40, it’s because he had a passionate lover who loved him dearly and played with his hair. Their fingers ran through his scalp multiple times a day, stimulating growth. Men who went bald early, however, lived a lonely and sad existence.

And the benefit is that one day you too will need something. And people will bend, make ways, be annoyed and be inconvenienced to make sure you have it.

[ethical hater @DijahSB]

that’s what u guys are not getting. when u complain about trans ppl in sports, in bathrooms, bro the odds are so fucking tiny. you’re giving into manufactured outrage. you’re brainwashed. they want u to be scared of trans ppl and not the actual villains of this world.

The "paradox of tolerance" states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant will eventually be destroyed by the intolerant

Therefore, in order to maintain a tolerant society, it must be intolerant of those who are intolerant
