You know what? I was so out of brain this morning I stared at that for a whole minute wondering if it was right. I write for work every goddamn day and I was like “WTF… how did I forget this. I use these words EVERY DAY.” I knew until I thought about it.

I almost looked it up but then was like… no, 50/50 shot and everyone will know what I mean. No one will point it out.

It’s almost like outside factors may effect someone’s health and wellbeing.

I agree, an argument can be a narrative, too. One where the second person is a dickhead.

Appeal to Fallacy.

It might not be a fallacy.

A fallacy doesn’t make an argument wrong.

There are degrees of fallacies.

Claiming a statement is wrong because there might be a fallacy is a thought-ending argument. There’s more nuance and relatability in rhetoric. Refusing to engage because someone’s using a fallacy is reasonable, but calling it by name isn’t a magic spell that forces someone to throw in the towel.

It’s not a bigoted one either.

“I like feminine people of all genders, what is that?”

“Normal.”

We don’t know OPs gender, but it doesn’t matter. All sexualities are normal.

It…really doesn’t. OP’s gender isn’t mentioned, either.

Is there a secret, hidden insult in that comment that only you can see? Is it in the room with us right now?

Leslie Knope energy.

Alternatively, if someone wanted a specific kind of relationship, shouldn’t they say so before sex? I don’t assume anything about a relationship until we’ve known each other for long enough to discuss it.

I mean yeah, if someone tells me they want to get married some day and I fuck them anyway, that’s a dick move. But again, assuming anything about someone’s intentions without talking about it is just shitty communication.

The capitalism can not spread where the ice flows and the coconuts reign.

Pro: Everywhere it’s legal has seen a drastic reduction in the amount of violent drug-related crime, lower incarceration rates for non-violent offenders, and less abuse of prescription painkillers. Plus an incredible rise in quality when pot is regulated.

Con: Your straight edge friends who’ve never touched a joint in their lives start smoking regularly, since it’s legal. Your 30+ year old friends will start talking like junior highschoolers who just smoked oregano for the first time and think they’re high.

A guy in my art school made a piss sculpture. He collected it in jars every day and then arranged them like pixels on a rack. It was neat to see the colour variation, since he deliberately ate things to try to get more hues.

Why the hell are you calling me out? I was complimenting the model as a statement.

I could draw genterbent sonic bukake with broken restuarant crayons and it would still be art.

In a way, even the act of gatekeeping art is kind of a performance piece. You, my friend, are an artist.

I did. Specifically this part:

Im not promoting their use. They are symbols of feelings that many of us are having right now. Just like the guillotine.

But we aren’t going around building guillotines. At present, Ive not seen any riots in the U.S nor use of either of these except on Nazi cars on dealership lots.>>

How dare someone make art that represents their feelings toward current events.

Terrifying, thank you.

This just… isn’t how anything works.

I’m also basing my opinion on personal experiences, as well as therapy and study on how trauma affects us.

However, like you said, not everyone has the same experience.

Forgive me for assuming that something being “Worse than death” means that death is the superior outcome.

I think polyamory happens a lot more than we realize. My old roommate had two committed partners for years, one of whom was married to someone else. Everyone knew about each other.

I knew a thruple who were unofficially married and lived together.

They have groups on social media for discussion and support, where I learned anything more than a thruple is “Polycule.”
