  • Touch screens also seem like they would be easier to integrate with subscription services. Auto manufacturers are looking to make things like heated seats a subscription.

    Cars have been getting steadily worse. There doesn’t seem to be any enforcement of recalls (has anyone satisfactorily had the Honda Civic 2016-2021 air conditioning resolved? How much did you spend?)

    If they can take cars away from us entirely, and move to us renting self driving cars, that’s what they would really want to do. Pay for your radio, pay for heat and AC…


  • My personal head canon is that Jesus was a transgender man (no Y chromosome). The “this is my Son, in whom I am well pleased” marks when God finally accepts his Son’s gender identity, and lets him start his ministry (and hooks him up with HRT).

    He could still be intersex AFAB. PCOS/CAH are both extremely common and you can end up with a clitoris that looks pretty close to a peen0r. Admittedly, that doesn’t make the circumscision part that much better - but well realistic, it’s gotta have happened at some point.








  • Morrowind is a basically the thesis of Things Fall Apart in video game form, with a good deal of Dune. It’s an examination of colonialism. Every detail of that game is dripping with politics. The Dunmer are racist and engage in horrific chattel slavery - but does that mean it is right for the Empire to colonize them and take their resources? There’s substantial evidence that your character is a spook sent to “fulfill” an indigenous prophecy to tighten the Empire’s control - is that morally right?

    There’s also a hermaphrodite male presenting god who has had hundreds of children with something quite close to the Devil.






  • We have ample evidence of the sexual abuse of enslaved women - you can see that in the skin color of most black folks who live in the US.

    We know they raped their male slaves too, but it doesn’t produce physical evidence. But a lot of the obsession with the size of black men’s penises starts in the mid 1800s.

    The Delectable Negro is a fascinating read about disturbingly erotic cannibalism of enslaved folks. They ate Nat Turner after they put his rebellion down, and the descriptions are just weird.
