It’s not kind for sure, completely agree. My point was more that even if it’s unkind, it’s not necessarily racism or bioessentialism.

I think we must be kind to individuals, but still acknowledge problems with groups. That does require a shift in mindset to not feel personally impacted by statements about a group you belong to, which is easier said than done.

As I’m clearly in the wrong according to downvotes, could you elaborate on what I’m missing?

Yes. It really made me appreciate LOTR a lot more since it’s way more explicit about the backstory of the nine rings, Numenor, the elves going west and so on.

It’s high production value, good performances. Not great art, but I liked it. Some excellent acting in season 2 especially.

Half-asleep-sex can be amazing, there are different kinds of pleasure when you’re only half conscious.

Because of the current cultural context, yes. Even when you add “overall.” But I’d be completely open to you elucidating that you are referring to some non-racist point.

If there’s been a history of people stating this about a group meaning every single member, then you need to assume that’s what they mean. I don’t think that’s the case with men.

Not saying one meaning must be assumed over the other, you’ll have to depend on cultural context to understand the deeper meaning.

Compare for example “men can’t give birth” vs. “men love sports”. The former clearly intends to say “all men”, the latter intends “the group overall”.

One could understand “men are trash” as having the meaning “every single man is trash”, which would be in line with racism as you say. Or one could understand it as “the group overall is trash”, meaning any individual member isn’t necessarily trash.

The latter meaning is in some senses a matter of data - men are extremely overrepresented in e.g. violent crimes.

Which, again, doesn’t much about the individual man.

I guess that stuff is based a lot on the Tolkien race concepts. It’s an interesting thing when mythical creatures, often understood as inherently evil or chaotic, transform into playable races and fellow citizens in a fantasy world.

What is D&D racism? Orcs are barbaric ace wielders and elves are sophisticated archers?

The difference is that 10 years ago you needed billions of stable qubits, now you need 10k stable qubits.

And 10 years ago you had one or two stable qubits in the lab, now you have thousands.

You need 90 seats for a majority, the left wing bloc failed to get that. But they got closer to it than the right wing bloc.

Now the question is who the centrists will deal with, and who will deal with them.

Helt fair, det er også sådan det siges jo. Og jeg tror måske også det efterhånden er blevet sådan man skriver det :)

Det er sjovt, originalt havde “stable” bydeformen “stabl”, som selvfølgelig ser skaber ud. Er det ændret i ordbogen siden?

For mig fører alle rationaler om hvordan et godt samfund ser ud til en stemme på venstrefløjen, særligt når man ser hvad der adskiller Danmark fra resten af verden.

Det bliver Carl Valentin fra SF, synes han er ekstremt ligefrem i sin politiske kommunikation, og hans argumenter er baseret på solide data langt hen ad vejen. Han tager rapporterne seriøst og handler derefter.

Især synes jeg noget af det vigtigste lige nu er et grundlæggende opgør med landbruget, som tilsyneladende koster os mange penge, mindsker mængden af proteinholdig mad og ødelægger vores natur. Der virker Carl som en stærk stemme.

Denmark is amazing. Especially in spring, when the beech trees sprout leaves in the most delicate green color.

Things just work here, food is good, the music scene is great, government is highly trustworthy, lots of jobs, lots of welfare. Yes, it could be better still, but I don’t know many places where it works nearly as well as here.

Like a pokeball?

Unclear, hence all these people going around asking “what is a woman”

The chaos factions are devoted to passion, life, knowledge and pleasure, and the Imperium are devoted to the corpse of a lying megalomaniac telling everyone they are forbidden from having a good time.

Anything else you hear is propaganda.

Exactly. And saying this meme is counter-propaganda is pointless, since it itself is propaganda.

Absolutely, that’s my point.

Hmm, maybe I misunderstood you.

If all cultural artifacts serve a propaganda purpose, but this post is not propaganda, does that mean that this post is not a cultural artifact?
