  • A dildo also isn’t able to consent. A carrot isn’t able to consent and is more alive than the roadkill (since it can still reproduce).

    A dildo was never alive, and a carrot is not a sentient creature.

    Ability to consent is something we require from conscious beings, but we generally don’t require it from objects, and corpses blur the line.

    Why does a corpse blur the line? Or is this DnD logic and a corpse is just an object? A corpse should be treated like the person it was, so it still needs consent otherwise you’re still raping it.

    but it isn’t actually that easy to come up with a consistent justification for that condemnation.

    It absolutely is: a sentient (not even sapient, but sentient) being’s bodily autonomy is inviolable without their consent.

    Extending your logic to make my point, if a corpse is blurring the line, what about brain dead coma patients, especially ones that are infertile? Are they ok to rape? They’re alive and can’t reproduce, so what’s the difference, right?







  • The hippie probably doesn’t use fabric softener. That shit isn’t worth it in my opinion, and just makes things softer at the expense of lifetime and performance. Things like towels lose absorbency when you use it, workout clothes don’t wick sweat off your skin as easy, it can demonish the flame retardant property of kid clothes, and it can make it easier for mold/mildew to grow in your machine.

    If you’re using it for static/smells, just use dryer balls and some essential oil. I think they’re also pretty good at softening your clothes.











  • Oooh yay! My first encounter of the day with an unhinged ml idiot.

    Tell me, brainiac, how does pointing out that you’re on an instance known for denying basic reality to make arguments set in a fantasy land about how places like Saudi Arabia (who is actively enslaving people and working them to death to build their stupid mega-boondoggle) is worse than the US? Or are you mad because you can’t actually support the assertion you’re making with evidence sourced from someplace other than your ass?
