@Sui @brinazarski Only people could so arrogant as to call the behaviors any sufficiently complex social species develops "pretty retarded", and think that they somehow know better than millions of years of evolution.
What's actually retarded is that you think "productivity" is a value that matters, much less one we should pursue at the expense of anything else. That's really why we're in this mess, not tribalism. What human or ecological need is there for productivity?

@subrote Hmmm doesn't this seem like a slippery slope? I thought people were crazy for believing that little things lead to bigger things.
Murder is nothing but an unjustified killing. Dehumanization is not nessecary for a genocide to occur. Most genocides have not followed this pattern, and it only serves as a rhetorical device for painting all prejudice, even just political opposition as inherently genocidal in order to motivate and morally justify preemptive, potentially violent action. I don't think you even believe that you are in danger.

@bot @net @c00lvibrations @creamqueen @zero It's estrogenic so it could be a contributing factor to trooning out

@YTFoidLover1488 @Becassine @SpaceElf @AnimeTradCath @Consoomer88 @LouisConde @Robert_Edwardly @SerfnUSA @SuperLutheran @sneedjitsu @sparky I do think silver and gold are prettier than less precious metals, but that's just me. Those metals can be prettier than diamonds, though.
I hear diamond is the hardest metal known to man.

@SpaceElf @Becassine @AnimeTradCath @Consoomer88 @LouisConde @Robert_Edwardly @SerfnUSA @SuperLutheran @sneedjitsu @sparky Diamonds in general are a scam. Even jew-elers can't tell the difference between lab-created diamonds and natural ones, they only know because they have ledgers that track what diamonds are "real". They're boring and ugly as heck, their only real utility is in using them to modify other things. Almost any gemstone is a million times more beautiful, the Diamond industry gaslit people into thinking they're beautiful and romantic. Traditionally they were associated with power and protection rather than love, and less valuable than rubies, though not worthless by any means. I don't have direct access to any Christian lapidaries, though there were many, as far as I can tell Pearls were not to be worn because they are particularly representative of immodesty and wealth. Outside of scripture, they were associated with fertility and worn by women because of their similarity to the moon and nautical origin. Emeralds are holy, and additionally represent chaste love. The Spanish in particular associated then with Mary. Some medival texts seem to warn that this is ascetic chastity and not normal, modest chastity, so they should not be worn by married women. Basically, I don't know what gemstones Christian lapidaries suggest for engagement rings, frankly it seems like engagement rings were more of a product of the extravagance of nobility, as was the use of gems in wedding bands. Normally they only had engravings (fedes were popular) if they had any ornamentation at all.
For aesthetic purposes, I like the organic gemstones, especially amber, but they're more suited to necklaces or earrings.

@Senator_Armstrong @Zerglingman @h4890 @charliebrownau @ryo Is the Dwitch thing true? I thought the first Wachowski to go tranny happened after the first Matrix film, when his Dominatrix got him into crossdressing and sissy hypno.
