They clearly meant in the sense that we have evolved to think spiders are creepy/scary.

Using the "evo science" logic, then we are also afraid of strangers, so that reasoning is often used against the "other" so no, it's not baiting but based on actual atrocities committed against those that were seen as "scary." Please don't minimize that.

This post was made in the politics comm. If it had been made in /c/vegan or /c/chapotraphouse or /c/chat it would be read differently. In the context of the politics comm it reads as an earnest statement intended to be read at face value. The choice of venue shapes how the message is perceived. The post reads as a political statement that killing bugs reveals a person to have fascist character.

I call complete cap on that. If anything this sounds like you trying to tone police based on "venue" or some ephemeral construct like that. "Oh I support your right to protest but do it in the rIGhT wAy!!" kinda shit. I see posts in all kinds of comms, including this one, that link behaviors with tendencies. Cuz you know, "everything is political" right? But with this all of a sudden come the "rules/regulations" BS? With all due respect, eff off with that shit.

but this is not an appropriate way to present that view.

Yup white moderate vibes... smh

Like, people have deep rooted fears that are based on actual dangers (and who knows how much of that is rooted in some kind of genetic understanding).

Careful, that's some very hitler-detector reasoning

So Iran is the only country in the world that legalized the sale of kidneys, and as a result, they don't have any wait lists for kidneys. Regardless of how you feel about it, it's an interesting case study (from an anti-imperialist nation to boot) about the effectiveness of the system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_trade_in_Iran

A six sided dice where each side has an actual activity you can do IRL to organize instead of asking randoms on the internet which games you should play? wtf is this reddit tier shit lol

I don't really care about steroid use in sports. It's just not fair that certain people get genetic advantages, so if you want to make up for not being tall or having a certain body build, go for it. We allow it in other areas of life, so why not in sports. The whole "it's unfair whaaaa" thing sounds like some moralistic capitalist bullshit anyways. They always use their advantages, but lecture the rest of us to "play fair"

I might write out a more structured analysis later, but for now, JUST WOW

Damn, I'll give it a watch then 👍

I might watch it in chunks. I'm glad these days vids have timestamps for chapters. Let me know what you think when you're done. lenin-fancy

My dad looked way better at 45 than this guy and all he did was cycle a lot

Sure maybe, but should there also be a chance for people who made a lot of mistakes in their lives (bad diet, smoking, lack of exercise, poor sleep) to change that? Should we really condemn people for "bad choices," especially when a lot of these "choices" are the result of environmental factors like where you grew up and what people you were surrounded by (like smoking/drinking culture in blue collar jobs because they can be brutal)? Not everyone is fortunate to live a fully organic, vegan, biking lifestyle. I like to think of anti-aging research as akin to the poverty alleviation that AES countries are doing right now. Of course it goes without saying that it should be freely available to all and not just the rich.
