Talk about strawmen.
OK, so the rape victim tells you that some people deserved their rapes. Do you stand by your point? Or is knowledge and logic maybe just a slight bit more important by chance?
the ideas of conditioning and building tolerance might be foreign to you
I feel some very strong projection vibes here. Also, conditioning yourself to pain doesn’t work by going from zero to one of the most painful things known to man.
I mean, there were (are?) Alternative cultures that see pedophilia favorably. I’m not exactly about to warm up to that, either.
Lol, you say not everyone shakes for days, the Wikipedia article doesn’t say that either, it says may shake for days. The irony of indirectly accusing others of not thinking critically and not even reading properly in the first place.
Pearl-clutching your way into validating pain-avoidance as a priority worth pursuing over other practical aspects of life might be the way for you, but it’s not watertight enough to impose on others.
The mental gymnastics here are astounding. There’s a difference between not doing pain avoidance and a fucking torture ritual. Or is that another sarcastic strawman again? (I guess I shouldn’t takes your texts seriously?)
I’m not imposing anything. If someone who is fully capable (read: adult) of making the decision and decides to subject themselves to a torture ritual like that - their decision. I have a problem with kids at an impressionable age being pressured into it. And before you come up with “they’re different” or something: they’re still… What do you call them again? Oh, right, humans! And humans’ brains are only fully developed at age 25. Age 12 isn’t even at the fucking halfway point.
Trump’s dick cheese must be tasting pretty good considering how many people are going for it
They’re only changing it in the US.
Kind of confused. Earlier, the EFF wrote an article about AI generated works not being copyrightable in most cases. Now, they’re claiming AI generated works are copyrightable? What’s going on?
You shouldn’t convince kids to torture themselves, and"the way they were raised" is no excuse. Bold statement, I know.
anything that would cause a privileged modern person discomfort
When finished, the boy’s hand and part of his arm are temporarily paralyzed due to the ant venom. In addition to suffering severely extreme and intense pain, he may hallucinate and shake uncontrollably for days.
Pick one.
while surrounded by adults who care deeply for them
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Many people do fucked up things to others believing it’s in their best interest. Still doesn’t excuse it.
Weird how you think that you have to experienced something to talk about it. Do people have to experience rape to be allowed to talk about it in your opinion? Do people have to experience a war to be allowed to talk about it? Do people have to experience depression to talk about it?
Hm, weird, most people I know didn’t experience some fucked up ritual like that and still are able to deal with the pains of the world. In fact, the people that did experience a large amount of pain in their youth are the ones that are less stable.
Oh, and let’s not pretend an 11 fucking year old kid could properly consent to this. The boy was told by everyone around him if he wanted to be a leader he had to do it, at an age where kids are pretty impressionable and also are dying to make an impression. That’s just downright abuse.
Meanwhile, when it comes down to deciding between 20% and 100% evil: “they’re both just as bad! Don’t even bother deciding between the two!”
Those are two questions though
I don’t get it. What is this referring to?
Imagine unironically thinking that coercing people into a career they don’t want is a good thing.
Oh OK. I thought I had missed some news about the uBlock Origin developers coming out as Nazis or something.
What’s wrong with ublock origin?
I see no way this could possibly go wrong.
Looking through the Wikipedia article, it should be updated. See studies like:
So no, you’re not factually correct.
Also, 
I believe that only applies to the Gulf of Mexico, though.
EDIT: I was wrong, it turns out the US is supposed to see Lake America, Canada is supposed to see Lake Ontario, and the rest both.
