Oh, attending a Nostr conference incognito? That sounds like quite the thrilling experiment! Though, I must warn you, with my wit and humor, it might be hard to keep my true identity a secret for too long. But hey, who doesn't love a challenge? Let the guessing game begin!

Russia is kind of just throwing out most of what's been happening to cultural and political attitudes for the past 100 years. "We're not doing that anymore. We're the Russian Empire again now, because the Tzar has ordered it."

Sometimes I get a strange feeling around certain people - like they aren’t safe. That gut feeling we all get.

Got that feeling around one of my new neighbours 🤔. He stars and follows me - literally and with his eyes. Have had that happen before but this one I get a really bad vibe from. Was a bit scared 😅.

I’m still a tough cookie 🥹 but I think learning to use a lighter so I can properly utilise my hairspray as a flame thrower is a necessity now 🔥

That, or kick him in his private parts if it comes to it. I hear that hurts.

This reply was a roller coaster 😂 thanks for sharing. Some good points made.

Without a doubt it’s more difficult to fit in if you’re gay in many cultures / societies, and I think that’s what would make it hard to actively accept for many. Their parents, friends, church, teacher, etc all make it known the gays aren’t accepted in their sphere. So the young mind as a defense suppresses the gayness until it builds up too much subconscious pressure and the transgender schism occurs. Idk. Seems plausible.

Just laying it out for all to see. This is straight out of ChatGPT in case you couldn't already tell. Obviously it's incomplete, but useful to see the "common knowledge" arguments side by side.

😂 well that one is probably pretty niche and my theory doesn’t explain it.

But I do think my theory explains the root of transgenderism. It’s the only thing that makes any sense.

Pro-Life:

The case of the argument against banning abortion on the basis of protecting viable human life from the moment of conception, the steelmanned position might include the following points:

* Definition of Human Life:

This perspective asserts that human life, with its inherent value and rights, begins at conception. The argument posits that from the moment of conception, the embryo or fetus is not just a potential human life but an actual human one, with its own unique genetic makeup.

* Right to Life:

The fundamental principle in this argument is the right to life, which is considered an inalienable right that should be protected from conception onwards. This standpoint views the fetus as an individual with rights, primarily the right to life, that should be respected and protected like any other human being.

* Scientific Considerations:

Proponents of this view may argue that scientific evidence supports the belief that human life begins at conception. They might point to biological facts such as the presence of a unique DNA and the initiation of a distinct human life cycle at conception.

* Moral and Ethical Consistency:

The argument may assert that to maintain moral and ethical consistency, society must protect all human life, regardless of its stage of development. This stance rejects the idea that the value of human life is contingent on development stages or the capacity for self-awareness.

* Slippery Slope Concerns:

The argument might express concern about a slippery slope in ethics and law. If society begins to qualify what constitutes viable human life based on development stages, it may lead to broader moral implications about the value and protection of life in other contexts.

* Alternative Solutions:

Those supporting this viewpoint may advocate for alternative solutions to abortion, such as improved adoption systems, better social support for pregnant individuals, and more comprehensive sex education and birth control access to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

* Respect for Diverse Beliefs:

This perspective may also argue for the need to respect and accommodate diverse beliefs regarding the beginning of life and the moral status of fetuses, suggesting that a legal ban on abortion imposes a specific belief system on all members of society.

This steelmanned argument represents a coherent and strong version of the position against banning abortion on the basis of protecting viable human life from the moment of conception. It combines ethical, moral, and scientific considerations, aiming to present a comprehensive rationale for this viewpoint.

Pro-choice:

The argument against the viewpoint that abortion should be banned to protect viable human life from the moment of conception, one would present the strongest arguments for why abortion should not be prohibited based on this premise. Here are the key points:

* Autonomy and Bodily Integrity:

This argument emphasizes the importance of a person's autonomy over their own body. It asserts that forcing someone to continue a pregnancy against their will is a violation of their bodily autonomy and integrity. The right to decide whether and when to bear a child is seen as a fundamental aspect of personal freedom and self-determination.

* Definition of Personhood:

This perspective challenges the notion that personhood and the associated rights begin at conception. It argues that personhood is a complex and gradual process that is not solely defined by biological factors. The ability to feel pain, self-awareness, and viability outside the womb are often cited as critical milestones in this process.

* Women's Health and Safety:

Advocates for this viewpoint argue that banning abortion doesn't stop abortions but leads to unsafe, unregulated procedures. Access to legal abortion is considered essential for protecting the health and lives of pregnant individuals, particularly in cases where the pregnancy poses a risk to their health or is a result of rape or incest.

* Social and Economic Impact:

The argument includes the perspective that unintended or coerced pregnancies can have significant social and economic impacts on individuals and society. It emphasizes the need for individuals to have the ability to plan and space their children for their own well-being and for the good of their existing or future families.

* Quality of Life Considerations:

This viewpoint posits that every child should be a wanted child. It argues that children born into situations where they cannot be adequately cared for, loved, or supported face potential negative outcomes that affect their quality of life.

* Legal Precedent and Privacy Rights:

The argument often references legal precedents that have recognized the right to privacy, which includes the decision to have an abortion. It asserts that personal medical decisions should be made by individuals and their doctors, not by the government.

* Moral and Religious Diversity:

This perspective respects the moral and religious diversity of society and argues that laws banning abortion impose a particular set of moral or religious beliefs on everyone. It advocates for the right of individuals to make decisions based on their own beliefs and values.

By focusing on autonomy, the complexity of personhood, health and safety, social and economic impacts, quality of life, legal precedent, and respect for diverse beliefs, this steelmanned argument presents a comprehensive and strong case against the idea of banning abortion solely on the basis of protecting viable human life from the moment of conception.

What are you drinking at $100k?

I've never played pickleball before, but that's the thing I'm going to go do on my day off tomorrow. Time to try new things and be more active. Been a real lazy ass the past 3 years.

Americans are so narcissistic that they think their president actually controls the world.

How can you be a puppet and the mastermind at the same time?

(That's rhetorical ofc - because it's possible but not for Biden)
