I’d almost understand where you’re coming from but most of us can’t afford a ship to explore, a slip in the marina, or even a property/room on the shore. For some of us, staring out at the ocean & capturing images from land is all we have. There’s gotta be a better way that doesn’t ruin it for the majority.
Honestly this is just about the only fantasy I can enjoy if you don’t include wuxia. Something about woodland creatures with medieval technology hits realism in a way I can’t describe. Even with science fiction, I prefer hard scifi. Not sure what’s wrong with me, but it needs some semblance of, sure, it’s doable, why not?
Cute little mice with blacksmithed broadswords, send. Mole people making the most scrumptious eats for a feast, go for it. Otters crafting and rafting boats from the forest timber, my favorite.
Anyone remember the weasel?
If we keep this up, we’ll never reach Steins Gate.
How can someone be dramatic about consent?
I’m not saying jump to violence immediately. We can start with rehabilition like Nordic countries, something as extreme as exile or yes violence.
I try not to assume anyone’s country of origin/habitat but with America we’re seeing first hand when the only accountability is a slap on the wrist, a finger wag and shame on you fine.
Consent scales, the one thing we all owe each other is basic human decency and a right to live our lives unimpeded as long as you’re not harming anyone. Filming/eavesdropping/invading boundaries and making people uncomfortable in a space let alone their own skin is grossly invasive
I hate to say it but those words, especially said by someone else to describe a person they refuse to empathize with, I take it with a grain of salt.
Stupid & insane can mean not by choice and as we’ve seen in the case of politics, it can also be a choice, or more like very stupid and insane decisions.
That said it can also be words used by a shitty society meant to extract as much “value” from everything as possible and sees people as a commodity to be used up and discarded.
So every asshole with a LinkedIn calling people stupid, lazy or insane has me wondering if they’re not the ones who are so unaware they call anything that questions the status quo sTuPiD, or refusing to follow others blindly and just do what their told, LaZy.

I feel like I got this at the dentist office with the receptionist once but could be I was the idiot in the situation. Late for an appointment by a little bit, two options seemed to be ask them if there’s still time or schedule a new appointment. All I got was a blank stare instead of seemingly anything reception related.
