Another philosophical Q for you today: Are we obligated to humor peoples’ beliefs that are facially lunacy but aren’t really hurting anyone? To what extent? Examples: “otherkin,” or the belief that your body is inhabited by more than one person, etc.

TRANSCATS: Human Privilege: Yes, it Exists →
transcats:
As a newcomer to Tumblr politics, I thought that a good place to start my blog would be to write about, what I believe is, a largely overlooked social justice issue. There is a lot of talk about privilege and oppression and the effects that it has on all of our lives, but the scope of these…
This is not satire.

My letter to Fr. Jenkins regarding ND's "our money...
Father Jenkins,
As an alumnus, I am greatly disappointed that the University has chosen to place such a high value on the sacredness of money. How is it, exactly, that the University asserts a right to choose what employees do with their compensation? How is health care compensation different from salary compensation? Would you also propose that the University has the right to prevent employees...

Open Letter to the Washington, DC DMV Due to Epic...
Hi, Can you help me make sure I understand this correctly? I went to the DMV today to get my license converted to a DC license and was really confused by what I was told. My address is in Zone 6, a large area that encompasses Navy Yard, Capitol Hill, Eastern Market, etc. Residents of Zone 6 may request a residential parking permit that enables them to park their vehicles on streets displaying...

Shit NDNation Says: FJM'ing the NDN Board Ops →
I have to admit, this was pretty fun.
nderpnation:
So, in the continuing saga of @starkruzr vs. the NDN Group Think Leaders (We’ve always been at war with Eurasia!), I’ve decided to FJM the longest screed they wrote to him:
We’ve been collectively watching ND football for longer than 50 years.
There are 4 of you. That’s claiming that on…

Wednesday's Thought Experiment
Remember Quantum Leap? “Theorizing that one could time travel within their own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap Accelerator… And VANISHED.” This was a story about a guy who would jump into a point in other people’s lives, needing to “put right what once went wrong” in order to try “leaping” again to get to the point where he...

From UnitedLiberty.org, cc: @drgitlin, on Obama...
“Eventually a clever entrepreneur will surely invent an engine that is fueled by some clean burning, abundant, cheap resource. But isn’t it more likely that will happen in the garage of their parent’s house, and not in some government controlled, taxpayer funded lab?” Well, uh. No. That’s actually not how science and engineering usually work AT ALL.

Does anyone even believe in real love anymore?
wildchildenchanted:
With hookups and sexting and divorces and strip clubs, I’m beginning to think that people don’t really want love that lasts forever. They don’t live like they do.
We are in a poor place to evaluate this question, IMO. You could go a hundred other different places and the answer would be “obviously yes.”
It’s funny how many people I know have been...

On an NCAA football playoff:
Why is it assumed by every-damn-one that if a playoff was instituted for the National Championship, somehow the other BCS bowl games, the conference championships and the baby bowls would then evaporate into the ether? What is that?
