My comment probably included a clause in it somewhere. ‘If’ ‘but’ ‘except’ ‘sometimes’ ‘when’. None of these are difficult words. If you cannot read them, you’re a fucking idiot and your opinion is just noise pollution.

Mysticmushroom is a whiny little bitchbaby who always cries to daddy, and can go fuck Grok if they’re reading its summary of this.

  • So, I have cleaned shit-and-blood smeared walls on an unpaid volunteer basis for that inic I volunteered at. Literally that. I didn’t have to be there, and the benefit that I got was a cleaned bathroom for a place that really needed a clean bathroom, even if someone occasionally fucked up an IV injection or had extreme poop issues or mental health stuff.

    I wasn’t even the person most willing to to that work. I was just the one willing enough with few enough other responsibilities.

    I’ve also done extremely gross hospice care where qualified medical people weren’t available. Especially for people I loved, back when I used to do that.

    I should point out that this was how those needs were filled under your coercive regime with fewer/none of the community motivations that would be present in a more humane system.

    It turns out your precious coercive power doesn’t solve this problem either, because the people with those sorts of needs don’t generally have much ability to coerce, and when the strong bully the weak, they don’t get much into the habbit of nurturing them.






  • So there was this anime called ‘fullmetal alchemist’.

    The first scene is the then pre-teen main characters, two orphaned brothers, dismembered and splattered around the room after defying the laws of man and god in an attempt to resurrect their mother with illegal magic (the illegal impossible magic of the settings chemistry wizards is just organic chemistry. Organic chemistry is illegal and maybe cursed or ontologically evil or something) that went horribly wrong. It then cuts to a couple years later where the protagonist (now 14, and only diagetically glossing over the ‘child soldier’ of it all, as the absolute ruler of their vaguely Germanic central European military dictatorship is kind of a fatherly figure) with half his limbs prosthetic and his younger brother, a disembodied spirit bound to an old suit of armor, are working as military wizard-engineer maybe-counterintelligence are dismantling a cult in a city the state did some atrocities to a while back(also not glossed over. Lots of orphans, the local lady their dealing with us trauma-mute), and being kind of unnecessarily shitty about it. the audience finds out its part of a bigger conspiracy, and by the end of the episode a shapeshifter comes into town and replaces the cult leader they had exposed as a fraud and killed (claiming he was an imposter) the moment our heroes* leave.

    This guy is from the episode where it becomes clear that the general tone of the show might be a little darker than previously suspected.
