That is also wrong.

Honestly? Nothing except a lot of pointless suffering. Eugenics isn’t just immoral; it literally does not work. The nazis did their damnedest to kill all people with schizophrenia during the Holocaust. Schizophrenia numbers were back up to normal within a couple decades.

See this video (linked to the correct timestamp) for more on why eugenics doesn’t actually do anything.

Both are unjustifiable. Governments should never get to decide who’s allowed to reproduce.

OP, you’re a nazi. I would advise you to [redacted because I’m not sure how much disgust I can express before I risk being banned].

Right, but there are degrees of abusable. There’s a difference between “yes, you could abuse this thing” and “this thing will inevitably be abused.” In my opinion, hate speech laws fall into the latter category. I know of too many cases of them being abused… and worse, they don’t even seem to do much to prevent hatred. See this article.

Say what you like, but I just can’t think of any way to write hate speech laws that isn’t incredibly abusable. Handing the government an excuse to punish to people is inherently dangerous. While it’s certainly necessary in some instances, I think we should be very, very careful about adding to the list of things you can get thrown in prison for.

You claim these laws aren’t a problem, then mention that governments are in fact abusing them literally right now.

I think speech that depicts a real person being abused–e.g CSEM, revenge porn–should be prohibited. Credible threats should also be illegal. Otherwise, I don’t think there should be many state-enforced restrictions on speech. I think hate speech laws are a pretty bad idea, because the people in power will inevitably use them against marginalized people. Laws intended to protect the vulnerable can easily be used to oppress them further. We’re seeing this with pro-Palestinian groups being labeled hate groups right now in the name of “protecting” people from “antisemitism.” (Antisemitism is a real problem, don’t get me wrong, but a lot of people who get prosecuted for it haven’t actually done anything except support Palestine.)

I do think that communities should enforce their own speech prohibitions, though. For example, social media platforms shouldn’t tolerate racism. Even if you think racists have a moral right to spread their racism (they shouldn’t), you have to understand that some forms of speech inherently suppress others. If you’ve got a neo-nazi screaming racial slurs at an event, obviously the people of color there will not feel safe to speak up, and their voices will not be heard. You have to decide whose speech you want to protect.

I’d say to pick something light-hearted that puts you in a good mood.

I’m 29. My opinion on my parents has not changed much since I was a kid. My dad has a lot of practical knowledge, but his worldview is pants-on-head stupid. My mom is a far better person than my dad, but her technical knowledge is limited.

I journal pretty much at random. I want to do it, but I struggle a lot with habit-forming (ADHD), so it’s not easy.

I tried intermittent fasting for like a year. The hunger never went away.

I went vegetarian 13 years ago. I lost a little weight in the beginning, then immediately gained it all back once I figured out what I liked. If being vegetarian makes you healthier, that’s a skill issue, considering pizza and ice cream can be vegetarian.

Seriously, though, congrats.

I want weed so good it makes me mistake an opossum for a cat.
