Worst of Social Justice

It's not a gendered word because it has "men" in it. Learn some damn entomology.

I'm pretty sure "menstruation" traces its origins back to the Latin term for "monthly", no doubt passed into English through French (where the "mens" root survives in terms like -- wait for it -- "menstruation", as well as "mensuel", the latter of which directly translates to "monthly" [take a wild guess what "menstruation" means]).

That is...abominable.  Excuse me, I need to void my everything.

I ... am similarly disturbed.

Me, I've come to appreciate Cerim a lot more than I did before. I have got to do that myself. The mechanisms sound...deliciously fiendish.

I'd like to state for the record that I don't enjoy it.  We do it because it's necessary.  Naught more.

For a few bucks, you could easily make a trap like what they use to catch feral cats and the like.  Once you've caught something (or a few somethings), take 'em out to a field or somesuch and release them where they belong.  They'll be scared for a little while, but they'll live.

Also, I kinda expected that from Niam.  The boy's a sociopath, that's...just how he operates.

From what I understand, being unable to empathize with animals at all is actually a potential symptom of sociopathy - after all, if you have no empathy for other human beings (apologies if I'm oversimplifying it) then why would you have an ounce for "lower animals"?

This is not the same as being desensitized to the slaughter of animals, such as with hunting and farming.  Though there's a point where that can go too far, too.

Then, of course, there's the psychopaths who, generally speaking, start off by torturing animals for amusement.

Of course, I could be talking out of my ass about all this, and if I am, I apologize.

If I remember my AP psych class right, then you're actually spot-on, Zacky.

That particular layout is pretty popular, so these may not be the same blog. I know where the first one came from and I tried to check if they're responsible for the other two, but I could only stand the first four pages.

My earliest memory is of puking after eating too much chili. I am severely triggered right now. Images of half digested, delicious chili, spewing forth from my mouth... not reaching the toilet in time, and staining my god parents' rug... my onesie, ruined... will this torment never end?

You've made a powerful enemy today, Robot.

Was it a nice onsie? I'd be triggered by that. Onesies are serious goddamn business.

Okay, if they are for realsies about all that, I think their triggering thing was they were reminded that they are not actually mentally human any more, and an innocent random question generator app, which is much more humane in personality, was the messenger they needed to kill...

My earliest human memory was of getting all bit up and stung when I walked over a mound of fire ants when I was a bit less than 3 years old. I screamed and screamed for my mommy, even though I knew she was downtown, but did not have the concept of how far my voice could travel. It was also my first lesson in learning to trust and love an adult other than my mom or dad. The black lady my mom had just hired to help her clean the house that day was a stranger to me, but she was so sweet and calm and loving and helpful, rescuing me from the ants, treating my bites, holding me in her lap as I cried. I never did develop any real kind of inculcated bigotry or fear of blacks as most of my peers did, growing up in the South in the sixties, and I'm pretty sure that early rescue incident played a big role in that. But, I actually did suffer a recurring physical reaction of panic and "creepy crawly" gooseflesh every time I saw red ants for years after. Actual, genuine triggering! Didn't get over that until I was almost 30.

I'm sorry, I should have included all the Tumblrbot posts for better context. Either this person is an epic Poe, or they're actually freaking out over Tumblrbot.

I hope so, 'coz if there's a person on this planet who would genuinley compare being asked,"Robots or dinosaurs?" to being raped then I'm just about done with the human race.

It might not be up there with genocide, for example, for things to be annoyed about with humanity but straws and camels' backs and all that.

This is going too far...

I think I'd like to visit this person's tumblr page. For...reasons. Not good reasons, but reasons.
