Men have been desperate to justify their authority ever since humanity invented the ultimate argument for why we don't need them to have any: the gun.

000

So we can either ban all religious texts, or not ban anything at all.

000

I support the banning of any book that says women are property and condones the hurting of children.

000

"I got this," are three words that send a chill running down my spine.

000

Then increased in both complexity and stupidity as questions continued to be asked of men who couldn't admit they made it all up.

000

Every religion started as our best guess.

000

Perhaps, as a species, we still get our rocks off picking on smaller people.

000

Why are there so many cultural, religious, and social practices in the world, both historical and ongoing, that promote violence, torture, and zero rights for women? Why are there so many people fighting to control women?

000

I don't believe in respecting anyone's traditions over the quality of a human beings life. Ban FGM (female genital mutulation), non-consensual marriage, and the marrying of children to adults. I'm not a fan of male circumcision either, but at least men can still pee properly afterword.

000

Have you noticed that most religions include a LOT of justifications for hurting people, especially women?

000

If you try to read about the practice and you can't even get through the 3 types, all the more reason to take a very loud stand.

000

Yet another thing I heard about when I was young regarding women that I thought for sure would have gotten better by now.

000

Female genital mutilation - Wikipedia

So, for some reason female genital mutulation is on the rise from 200 million victims in 2016 to 230 million in 2024. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_...

One of my favorite songs is Symptom of Being Human by Shinedown.

I don't usually plug movies, but Warriors of the Wasteland is absolutely amazing.

000

If your Bluesky name refers to some deadly problem you have you need not like or follow me. I have no money, no compassion, and this nagging thing called intelligence that makes me a shitty mark.

000

The amount of "I'M BEGGING YOU MY CHILD IS ABOUT TO DIE" assholes randomly approving of my posts on this platform is starting to piss me off.

000

It seems that popular opinion, always the sharpest knife in the drawer, has lumped two kinds of people into the "conspiracy nutjob" category: morons with a really long podcast list, and people who talk about politics.

000

Scraps @scrapp-aper.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I'm not "into conspiracy theories" but I do have some of my own ideas about the goings on these days.

000

Yeah for the record: Autistic people can have varying levels of difficulty with eye contact, and not all people who have difficulty with eye contact are autistic.

001

Scraps @scrapp-aper.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I once said on here that one should always look ones problem in the eyes, and some person decided to tell me that advice isn't okay for autistic people. Well it's not like I knew you were coming, so if my comment doesn't work for you then it probably wasn't for you. Not everything can be.

A good relationship is one where everyone is trying their damndest to be tolerable to live with.

Dear medical professionals, Please stop shaming people for living how they live. Your job is to do whatever your job is, and giving people guilt for getting by however they do is basically saying, "and don't come back." You are doing more harm than good with that shit. Knock it off.

000

Scraps @scrapp-aper.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

You treated the people who worked customer service and retail like something you wiped off your shoe. You gave their employers the ability to pay them shit and treat them worse. You treated them as less than human and soon they won't be. You won't have anyone to abuse who cares anymore.

Me: Yes, I still vape. Doctor: Do you want lung cancer? Me: Do you want a punch in the nose? Of course you don't. Weird how we all keep doing things that are bad for us, isn't it?

Common sense is the ability to look at a situation and predict all the many ways your interference could go wrong.

000

Instead of some people having all the comfort and safety and most people having some and the rest having none.

000

Think about what kind of world would be created if everyone had time to love and cherish their children in equal comfort and safety.

100

Adults should sit in classrooms to learn. Children should be out experiencing the world with guidance. How we are doing things is not what is best for the children, it's what's best for business; keeping parents occupied with their jobs instead of their children.

000

Not how we do education anyway. The classroom is no place for anyone under 20.

Scraps @scrapp-aper.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Talent is a gift of the mind, it allows for creative application and out-of-the-box thinking. I believe it comes from time spent contemplating the subject due to interest. Skill is the experience of practice, it allows for problem solving and prediction of outcomes. Education is neither.

000

As humans, we have the intelligence to operate differently than nature intended. That's the only thing that makes us special. Nature intends for every dumb animal to live a dumb existence, make more of itself, and die in an unfortunate way. Humanity's whole bag is rebelling against this.

000

Scraps @scrapp-aper.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

For anyone who believes that biological difference should be allowed to make an operational difference in society: The masculine was invented to be a stripped-down, jacked up, too-stupid-to-care war machine only useful to protect what nature considers important, so let's not be like this okay?

Everyone's quality of life depends on 95% luck of the draw and 5% blood, sweat, and tears. That's not to say that 5% you put in doesn't account for a lot, but cosmically a lot of your success is about where you started. Hard work is how you capitalize on opportunity. It rarely creates any.

Never, ever follow a man to an unfamiliar second location for, or after, marriage, especially not if it's in another country and especially especially not if you have no family you trust.

Disappointment seems to be the only way to remember appreciation.

000

The only major societal problem I saw in Wall-E was that humanity was still being force-fed corporate bullshit. Otherwise, that looked like a really nice life.

000

The problem with being smart is that you're the most likely person to survive the apocalypse.

000

So that you could grow up so very much weaker and slower than your ancestors. That, my friends, is the evolutionary path we chose, because muscles take too much food to maintain.

000

It was never the fastest and the strongest who propelled our species forward. It was them providing for the smartest that did.

000

Keep up that "survival of the fittest" bullshit and you will wind up getting eaten by a shark.

000

When a professional tells you that you can achieve their success with practice, they are correct. When an artist says it, they are a lying piece of shit.

000

The only way the market will be free is when corporations no longer control availability and cost of what we produce. This is a hostage situation. Won't work for less? We'll find someone who does. Want cheaper medicine? How about none. Want to control anything about your life? How about no.

000

When somebody says "without capitalism there would be no innovation" what that means is if we tell corporations to change they just threaten to stop selling us the stuff we produce for them. The market is not free, it's filled with Chthulian monsters.

000

The populist will win, again and again and again...
