Things are hard out there, and that makes people feel like finding hills to die on. The less stressful life is, the better the discourse, usually.

The grass is always greener on the other side.

Rasputin is more like Elon Musk: a gross middle aged man pulling the strings of a king who has intelligence falsely attributed to him.

Clothes are meant to be used. One day, my whites will get stained, and that’s ok. I will buy new ones in the future. So mote it be.

It’s so much simpler than that—it can be created now, so it will be. They will use narrative twists to post it on the clearnet, just like they do with anime (she’s really a 1000 year old vampire, etc.). Creating laws to allow it are simply setting the rules of the phenomenon that is already going to be happening.

The only question is whether or not politicians will stop mud slinging long enough to have an adult conversation, or will we just shove everything into the more obscure parts of the internet and let it police itself.

It pulls a synonym—what’s the big deal?

Currently in Mexico, it displays the name your phone region is set to. It still shows Gulf of America on my phone, even when I am on Mexican WiFi.
