Ancient Roman music is the most unsettling shit I’ve ever heard in my life

what happens if you take this every day like who do you become if your brain stops making new memories

I don't think 5-6 day old frozen embryos are moral persons and it is not bad to make them or discard them.

I enjoy helping people, but I’ve mostly found “volunteering” lacking. A simulation of charity, done for the benefit of the volunteers. Like “protest,” it comes across as a meaningless sacrament in the civic religion, a hollow representation of something else.

People like to blame porn for this and maybe that's part of it, but a big cause is that if you're a young guy who doesn't fit in with mainstream male culture, maybe is more sensitive, maybe not that great with women, doesn't feel like much of a "man," then there's a whole psychotic cult out there ready to tell you that it's because you're """queer""" and as soon as you open your mind to this possibility you get a social network of total acceptance and support and it's only a hop skip and a jump until they can get you thinking you're Really A Girl

My dog brought a DEAD POSSUM into the kitchen. Obviously, this was traumatic. My mom and I freaked out for 20 minutes while my dad hunted for a shovel. When he finally scooted the possum onto it, the possum opened one eye, looked around, and closed it again. He was PLAYING DEAD. My dad carried him outside and set him on the ground. The possum kept up the act for another 10 minutes. Then he got up and walked away totally fine. But look at that picture. The tiny clenched paw. Mouth open mid scream, tongue out. Très dramatique 10/10 performance

my mom repeatedly asked to come out in my baby’s first month because she “wanted the experience of holding a grandchild when they were that small.” she also floated being in the delivery room because she “thought it would interesting to see someone give birth.” the frame was “what can i get out of this?” no consideration of what might be helpful or desirable by me. i think somehow a lot of boomers got this idea about grandkids? they see grandkids as a prize, pure upside with zero responsibility. it’s a total abdication of their ongoing parental responsibility to their own children.

Not sure I’ve ever met a Cath->Prot convert and I am constantly meeting Prot->Cath ones

These two pictures are actually good examples of how classicism requires taste so strict and refined that it almost circles back to minimalism. Collecting a bunch of 16th-century-looking objects and piling them up in a room for "vibes" does not make you a classicist. What passes for "classical aesthetics" today is mostly just larping with antiques, which is why minimalism done well beats maximalism done badly.
