I know you are a brave, fighting people, but for every day of actual fighting, there are months of marching, exposure and suffering. More men die in war from sickness than are killed in battle. At best war is a frightful loss of life and property, and worse still is the demoralization of the people. ...

canyoneer posted:There was an old privilege rating scale that came from Reddit I think that had absurdities like being a blind atheist in the US is less privileged than being a gay Jewish person in Saudi Arabia. Was that the one which assigned about a negative million points to being blind or illiterate, and a similarly high positive score for Jewish? Because I'm pretty sure that one was a joke.

I think you're probably caring a bit too much. If it makes everyone involved happier and they're doing it safely, why should I care what grown adults do with other grown adults?

One had a section for kinship where you could select Human or Dragonkin, Faekin, etc. Unfortunately that one didn't list the point values, so there's no way to tell if dragonkin are more or less privileged than regular humans. I assume much, much more privileged. Sure, some people may look at you funny or even mock you when you explain that in reality you are a dragon, but what the gently caress do you care what puny humans think if you're a motherfucking dragon!

It'll give you something to do while you work whatever stick you have in your rear end that prevents you from viewing human behavior outside the lens of "what validates all of Yawgmoth's life choices vs. what doesn't"

Bingo! I'm poly and have been in a couple of polycules, the last time in 2012, and the number of times I had to defend it was 0. Turns out no one, in a general sense, cares what kind of relationships you have. Sure there were some friends that said they wouldn't do it because of religious or other objections, but I literally can't think of a person who cared enough that it affected our friendship.

Poly relationships are fine, because either they work out, and the people within are happy, or they implode in a very public fashion and are good for a laugh.

You’d think that someone who studied psychology in college would understand more than everyone the complete uselessness of online IQ tests. As opposed to the moderate uselessness of actual IQ tests.

Picnic Princess posted:The poly people I know include it in queer culture but don't see it as an orientation. It's part of queer culture because it's a type of consensual relationship frowned upon by society, and usually includes some form of homosexuality. But honestly why care who they sleep with. They can do what they want and if they're happy, great. If they're not, they're in the process of learning some life lessons. Getting worked up about other peoples' relationships is a waste of your own life. I think it's usually because they aren't sleeping with me they're sleeping with everyone else why not me?

Sure there were some friends that said they wouldn't do it because of religious or other objections, but I literally can't think of a person who cared enough that it affected our friendship. Yeah, the most poo poo I've seen thrown at poly people is on SA, and that's because the only time poo poo about poly people ends up here is because it's a train wreck. A lot of poly people just have a hard-on for drama. I mean, I do feel like being poly is about the same to me as being bi or trans is, but that doesn't mean I'm oppressed somehow, or that anyone cares. Though I don't think it's just the oppression angle that makes them say that all the time. I've noticed a lot of the people who say that are the ones who get insanely jealous and have those "I can gently caress everyone but you can only gently caress other girls and only with me" type of rules. It's an excuse for being an rear end in a top hat.

My mom hates facebook because it's superficial posturing and my dad cares so little he barely has an account. I count myself lucky to have parents that have both acceptable socio-policital stances and a proper approach to social media. If things continue in this vein I'll never have to deal with them spewing racial diatribes left right and center.

I remember taking one of those privilege quizzes where they deduct points from your privilege score if you've ever been the only person of you race or ethnicity in the room. I have been in that situation, but I was a white person with authority over all the PoC in the room, soooo....
