I'm listening to this podcast where the two hosts have this dialogue about people who used to be fat. Like there'll be some hot person who's way too nice, and then they learn that they used to be fat and it all clicks into place.

There are shitty fat people, but I think the idea is that fat people have experienced a lot of cruelty in their lives and it's made them appreciate the value of kindness more. Like, being bullied as a kid can turn that kid into a bully themselves and ruin them for life, but it can also inspire them to be a more emotionally intelligent person who values the feelings of other people.

I flipped the first time I saw it on streaming and heard Rain King by Counting Crows, and just recently in the deja vu episode I heard The World Spins Madly On by The Weepies, a band I found recently.

At the start of all things, there was a man named Alan. It might have been Alda, it might have been Wrench - we don't know. All we know is that his name was Alan and he started it all.

Pro-Abortion people make me sick. Like, I agree with it being their choice [I might argue about the time frame, but not here], but they don't have to be so happy and proud about it. I don't know, it just bothers me

I actually listened to this podcast recently where they talked to a woman who had an abortion. A point they brought up is that no-one really wants to abort a fetus, but sometimes it's the only option that makes sense.

It's an incredibly unpleasant process, and the woman who had an abortion described it as a very trying experience. She had the abortion pill, which involved one oral pill and like four vaginal pills - podcast was from 2014 - and she said that she was glad that she had support from her partner, because otherwise it would have been a much harder experience. But when asked if she would do it all over again knowing what she knows now about the experience, she said that she would. Even with it being as unpleasant as it was, it was the outcome that made the most sense to her and her partner.

Honestly, you should track down some testimony from women who have had abortions to understand the process behind it, including the circumstances behind their unwanted pregnancy and how they made their decision. The more you understand why it happens, the less severe of a reaction you might have to the concept at large.

Can Democrats do what the GOP did and pull the "you shouldn't appoint a new judge in an election year" bullshit or was that a majority thing

Republicans will just get shitty and admonish the Democrats for taking the low road, even though it's the same shitty stunt they pulled 4 years ago. Trump will probably use it to try and seize power when he loses the election

The disease part is a lie, they weren't deliberately infected.

I might have been mistaken on this point. It's a common tactic among European settlers - the Spanish settlers spread syphilis among the Mayans, and America has a pretty infamous case where they passed out blankets to the natives that were infected with smallpox. I might be wrong on this point - maybe I'm drawing parallels towards other colonialisation efforts.

With that being said, though, that's one potentially exaggerated statement that was potentially made out of ignorance in a post with like 8 paragraphs. That's hardly "most of" what I said. Again - if you truly feel like my post before is exaggerated or fraudulent, put in the effort to debunk what I said. All you did with this post is challenge one of the smallest points I made. It's weak shit.

How much of my post did I get wrong? What did I say that was exaggerated or wrong outright, and how does that make me a blatant liar?

MrMallard wanna clear things up? :D

I appreciate the tag! I'm just some random white 20-something, so I don't think I have a huge insight into indigenous history or culture - pretty much everything I know is from high school and from like the most barebones glance at indigenous activism.

My understanding is that the indigenous population had their own territory and communities and stuff, and they travelled across the continent a lot in a culturally significant process that we know as "walkabout". There's this massive deposit of uranium in one of our natural parks, and one thing I've heard is that aborigines would avoid this particular area because they regarded it as a cursed place - people who travelled through there would get sick from the radiation there, and the knowledge of this sickness was known among the indigenous population and phrased in their beliefs.

The indigenous population had a big emphasis on oral tradition and dance. They would pass their stories down by word of mouth to their children, who would pass it down to their children, and so forth. Their history was their spoken history and their culture. That's not to say that indigenous Australians didn't have culturally significant landmarks or anything - in fact, a dozen or so sites of indigenous importance stretching back 14,000 years were recently destroyed by the mining company Rio Tinto in their pursuit to open a new mine. They also have art that depicts significant moments in their individual cultures, with symbols depicting groups of people and the customs they would take part in when they would gather.

Indigenous Australians were a very tight-knit population. They had hundreds of tribes, and these tribes weren't always friendly with each other - but they had a history, they had a culture. Just because it wasn't written on a piece of bark, it doesn't mean there was no culture in Australia until the 18th century.

For example, do you know any Aboriginal beliefs? They had a concept called the Dreamtime, where the world was shaped and where the creatures of the land had their own principles and squabbles. Indigenous Australians had aesops and fables, just like the Greeks did. Just like Native Americans did. Like countless cultures on Earth have had.

It's easy to just go "well they weren't writing anything down that late into the modern world, that suggests a lack of culture". But they had stories. They had dances. They had art, and fables, and culture. They had community and language. Written history began in 1788 because that's when the "settlers" arrived, and from that point on the indigenous population was under constant attack.

Well into the 20th century, aborigines were still meeting in speaking circles, trying to pass on their legacy to their children in the way that their ancestors had done. White, British settlers had been putting them in plantations for years, trying to stamp out their culture. And one way that they would punish indigenous Australians for not assimilating to the British standard was to take their children and raise them in white families. This would ensure that they wouldn't hear their history from their community, being raised in a "civilised" manner, and it was merely one of the later stages of genocide that was foisted among the aboriginal population. They had been introduced to alcohol to destabilize them, they had been infected by disease to try and wipe them out, they had been enslaved and they had been raped by white settlers in an attempt to breed out their race. And this manifestation of genocide, which we now refer to as the stolen generation, was to interrupt the indigenous traditions of speaking circles and destroy indigenous culture in favour of the British standard.

Australia had history and culture prior to 1788. And it has been an uphill battle to catalogue and pass down what remains of that history due to the genocide of our indigenous population. Would you gawk at Maori culture, or any other Polynesian culture with a strong emphasis on imagery and spoken word?

then someone was like "he got rehired after his tattoo came to light until he quit in 2018, 2 years later"

to which Mark replied "yeah well he's not a cop anymore so why is this a problem?", which spilled into a one-man crusade against the idea of policies that specifically forbid members of hate groups joining the police.

Honestly, you're still a kid at this point. Start phasing your ships out, but you have a couple of years to mature and distance yourself from shipping.

Name a prominent male porn star who isn't a scumbag.

Except Ryan Creamer, that man is a joy.

Edit: that's not a plea for apathy, like "you know what you're getting into when you join the porn industry, men are pigs", it's pointing out that any big male name in porn is most likely a scumbag in one way or another, and while this news is awful, it honestly isn't a surprise that these guys end up being scumbags and folks need to be more wary of them instead of elevating them too hero status.

Not every civilian has what it takes to be a soldier. Rather than let you and your family sit in an environment where murder and rape are the most likely outcome for you all, it's a more noble pursuit to bring your family to a place where that danger can't reach you.

It's all well and good to dream up this scenario of some dude picking up an AK and liberating his community, but the most likely scenario is that dude getting shot like a dog and his wife and/or children getting raped, possibly being sold into human trafficking and then killed. Seeking asylum, with its risks and detractors and the like, is a much more realistic and optimistic outcome than banding a bunch of everyday schmoes against a fully equipped army dedicated to purging them and their families from the face of the earth.

All three are different interpretations of the same religion. To my knowledge, Judaism is more focused on fables and stories of resilience among the people born of God, rather than pledging everything they've got on a singular prophet of the Lord as a singular protagonist and figure of worship.

Jesus and Muhammad are ultimately just prophets in the grander scheme of the Abrahamic religions. Judaism seems like a much more bigger-picture sort of thing.
