Some liberals are so addicted the pandemic that they’re still washing their hands after they pee even though they’re fully vaccinated.

The bluegrass song I just heard talked of a "simpler time" and "simpler way of life". I'd love to see an itemization of what things people who saw both times felt as rising unwanted complexity. Ordering food to be delivered sure sounds simpler than what they did to cook meals.

Being a rationalist is using the phrase “perfect moral agent” unironically

Is there any way to put @NicolaWillisMP in charge of housing without putting National in charge of anything else?

RT @Economissive
@FrancesCook Yes, specifically land use rules. Everything else falls from that.

National basically has it right. (From someone who loathes almost everything else they stand for)

The Green Party (@_chloeswarbrick) needs to get serious about increasing housing supply including looking at how it can work with National (@NicolaWillisMP) on its bill to massive increase housing supply.

It's also misleading to paint homeowners as some kind of aggrieved party. Developers are not the ones profiting from the housing shortage in US cities - the overwhelming gains go to homeowners, whose net worth has skyrocketed as the housing shortage drives up home prices.

e.g., toxic femininity is not something women all get together and conspire to perform. Obviously non-women and social forces at large have a significant role in shaping it. It would be wrong and terrible to just blame women for it and use it to claim victimhood as a man.

Is it not obvious to everyone doing Discourse that any “toxic” traits performed by any group of people are not the sole responsibility of that group?

Seriously though, seems like if Onanism were more highly regarded, that would be a good thing for society.

masturbation fell dramatically in sociable acceptability when "onanism" fell out of the popular lexicon

just compare these two and see which is higher status
