Its that kinda topic

In any given universe if a form of life found a way to what could be viewed as an ethical choice to avoid involuntary death, how many forms of life do you think would say/choose no? How many people?

Your own views aside.

With enough time, of which there is more than enough, any meticulously generated state of nirvana would dull to a weary mind

it doesnt have to go on, it thinks on briefly. Naturally. Infinitely.

it would only take 1

it discards the thought in annoyance. It knew so much. It just wanted to forget for a time. Pretend to be other people. Pretend to be other things. Things that can appreciate things it cannot. Things that can build things it cannot.

so it forgets. and then it remembers. It forgets and remembers what it is, in perpetuity. Its perfect loop of cheating time, death, and madness. Were all just being controlled by the same player, who can be unpredictable to say the least.

but if enough people truly concentrated together and worked together, we can do anything with the resources we see available to us and we can likely eventually make our own space time if technological progress doesnt slow down, and most evidence suggests it will continue to do the opposite because the market is directly driving the science in that regard.

So Im gonna make my own space time. And when Im there Im gonna enjoy just the most meticulously generated nirvana to dull my weary mind.

I think its ok to ask for some kind of reasonable ID when people vote, just as long as it can be anything of a reasonable nature that is a photo ID that identifies them as the actual person registered to vote.

But the right gives the game away when they do things like pass legislation that recognizes NRA membership cards as valid voter ID but bars things like Student IDs from counting

and really if some people just dont have an ID because they lost it or just on fucking hard times, they get to do a provisional vote, but conservatives spend untold amounts of money and counter messaging to try to keep people from knowing about things like that

Mead, do you define yourself or do others define you?

it doesnt work that way, individuals are an infinite spectrum of variables and experiences

the fact is that a lot of young people and a lot of people in general harm and kill themselves, and the reasons why can be very broad and sometimes shockingly mundane

I dont think its too much to ask to check your cynicism if only for a moment and respect and understand that a caution label like that as stupid as it seems to you, might be something that keeps a different kid that didnt know what you did from going down a tragic path with a tragic end

Heal yourself my dude.

We all have our own demons and scars to contend or attend to in our own way.

Its the people who forget their traumas or simply dont experience them due to privilege of circumstance. Those people often miss some crucial but yet to be defined part of development. Something just seems missing.

I started painful ninja training at 8 because it seemed right. I'm stronger for it. Well before naruto.

your experience has no effect on other children who have entirely different challenges and experiences compared to you. Their safety matters enough to learn more about the things that lead to self harm in young people and its not gonna harm anyone one bit to throw up a damn caution label.

I don't hurt myself daily for pleasure. I don't even hurt myself at all. Your research is incorrect. But pain is growth.

your anecdotal experience doesnt count for shit beyond inflating your own sense of self worth. If it actually works, Id talk to someone about that.

Not at all. Calm down.

The nanny state is real.

Guess what? Life is hard and painful but the pain and hardships provide the best soil for growth.

More often pain and hardship just cause trauma. What do you think happens to a kid when they start doing some dumb thing they saw on some older kid show that causes them pain? They get addicted to the euphoria response from the brain and some of them are just forever lost to it.

Some of that soil shouldnt be soil yet.

Actual self harm is a seriously issue, but how it's used in the fictional ninja world of Naruto is not anything similar to people who cut themselves or worse in real life and the tag is strange, along with smoking tags.

Examples: Sasuke stabbing himself to free himself from fear, summoning and other blood jutsus.

If your 4 year old feels the need to hurt themselves to feel something, watching Naruto isn't the problem.

Actual self harm is the issue my friend. Thats why the warning is there.

Is Naruto about self harm? Almost certainly not I imagine.

Kids can get all sorts of bizarre notions in their heads. Some kid can overhear something and misunderstand it and it can fuck with their whole development. Theres unfortunately a lot of people who get a lot of their life lessons from fiction. Sometimes fiction that is simply not well written.

A kid can simply think theres something cool about something they are seeing and decide to try it just out of curiosity. And kids are extremely impressionable. Self harm is a very real thing that young people are especially vulnerable to.

So fuck off with any kind of nanny state rhetoric BS, theres a lot of young people going through some real shit. A few benign caution labels arent gonna fucking hurt you.

Maybe, I dont know about Naruto. But I imagine theres a good reason for a warning like that even if its something that would seem completely fine and benign to say a 9 or 10 year old

Netflix has Naruto listed as "self harm". Hilarious.

I hope you arent implying that there is anything amusing about people who might be too young or sensitive, seeing content that is intended for older and wiser viewers, and misunderstanding it in a way that leads them to harm themselves as a way to cope with trauma in their life.

a warning like that can be a useful thing to pop up in the peripheral view of a busy single parent noticing that their 4 year old found a way to get around the parental lock because children are all the way stupid and all the way smart at the same time

so grow up about that

The trick there is that a lot of administrators start out as gym teachers. Because normal teachers have to grade papers, work on lesson plans, and a lot of other prep work that takes up a lot of their free time. But gym teachers have much more time to take night classes, pursue more advanced degrees, and essentially earn the qualifications necessary for administration over education.

And a lot of gym teachers are basically just bitter old ex-jocks who grew up with the hopes of turning pro, and then blew out a knee or tore a shoulder and had all of their dreams shattered overnight, and they wound up diverting into phys ed. as a desperate back-up plan.

it hurts how right this seems

theyre just jocks and cheerleaders jfc

Teachers are paid an embarrassingly low rate. I made more than some entry level teachers working retail while I was in college. Ridiculous that we can't put more value on the people that are supposed to be guiding the next generation.

it really highlights the issue at the root of capitalism. capital is the primary goal in and of itself and no regard is given to what capital represents and what its purpose should be

if greed wasnt the motivator for most people then any intelligent individual would come to the conclusion that education where students are taught how to learn new things and appreciate learning through life would be a great boon to our society. It would likely make our wealthy country even wealthier.

But capitalism doesnt work that way. It relies on greed alone to be the motivator of the masses while the privileged and corrupt siphon all the capital of taxpayers.

we gotta throw out a lot of this old bureaucratic ideology and reshape our country into something that actually works

by the people and for the people
