heavy, serious, tons of body horror, very flawed and relatable character, many political and military themes; explores human nature, potential, prejudice, and the lottery of birth. somewhat inconsistent art

art: 5/10
plot: 8/10
fun: 6/10

i could happily live my whole life eating nothing but salmon, buckwheat, potatoes, wheat, and tomatoes ever again

my ancestral foods satisfy me like nothing else

unfortunately modernity does not make this very simple

Show thread

i''m not one of those people who obsesses over race and heritage

frankly i'm as much of a race traitor as anyone

but when I feel my entire being rejoice with every bite of salmon i know there's something in my genetics that got my predecessors through many hard winters

Show thread

it should be illegal just how good fish is

like goddamn why would you ever eat meat if you could have all the fish you want??

i can feel my ancestors chanting in approval with every bite

i know our whole thing here is being galaxy brain institutional contrarians but doesn't seem like the best idea, resorting to binary thinking due to frustration and outrage; lets be honest, we are by no means immune to this

"never again" "not worth living" thats a bit rich innit

please note that none of this is an endorsement of any particular governing body's actions over this past year, not support for a specific set of policies going forward; just trying to understand where this bombastic rhetoric is coming from.

really, who here is living in fear?

Show thread

i see many viewpoints around here denouncing any & all lockdowns on account of their violation of abstract principles, and I do agree, to a certain point; but many of these calls seem much more extreme than I consider warranted. are our model of civics really that different?

Show thread

really, what is so bad about wearing masks a bit more often than you'd like to, or trying to protect the vulnerable? i get that lockdowns have constituted a transfer of wealth across classes, & do need to be balanced against liberty, but should we not try and protect the elderly?

Show thread

not to make light of people who's lives have legitimately either been taken away or ruined by this pandemic, but for very many of us, its just been a sort of minor inconvenience, maybe with some extra psychological strain; nowhere near as torturous as many of these tweets suggest

Show thread

i'm all for using common sense over blind rule-following, but I've been having a hard time relating to much of the language i see on here comparing using masks and exercising caution to "huddling in fear" or being "a life not worth preserving"; isn't this a bit too dramatic?
