I'm disappointed at the level of snark in and around the latest ACX essay. Essays like Toxoplasma of Rage and In Favor of Niceness really shaped how I engage with political disagreement, and this feels antithetical. A reminder that we're all human I guess.
I didn't mean for that to be an insult, but feel free to link me to your relevant work and I will read it as penance.

split reactions to this are a cool display of conflicting moral systems. One where punishing evil is virtuous (unless the punishment doesn't fit the crime), and one where certain things (e.g. sadistic pleasure) are wrong independent of circumstance. very cavalier vs puritan

every once in a while I see a post in this genre and I'm like aww, they thought sex was real
If you were actually submissive you’d just do what women tell you. You, like most self proclaimed submissives, are petualant brat who can’t cum unless your childhood neuroses are being indulged in just the right way

I really like lying to people at bars. One time at a gay bar in Austin I told a bunch of guys that I was a materials scientist developing dental cement in town for a conference.
