no i used to bother buying nice (i.e. maybe like four pens for $20) pens but then i realised that it didnt make enough difference to me to care or bother. so now i just use whatever generic pen branded with some company i dealt with once or some bic stabilo pilot or something that i bought when it was getting hard for me to buy a pen. in fairness i use a tablet for school work so really i'm using a Microsoft TM Surface TM Pen TM

i've never actually used a fountain pen but it seems like it would be a hassle.

idk if theres easily digestible youtube video essay type content out there talking about why eugenics is bad. maybe you could show them a phrenology skull or eugenicist literature https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/vaughts-phrenology-book/ but i feel like you could probably just use the socratic method, ask questions, and see where you end up. like:

• "why do you think this is a good idea?"
• "what happens to people who you want to remove from the gene pool?"

maybe that could be a good point for you to link it back to genetics and the evolutionary advantage of genetic diversity https://kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frym.2021.656168 if theyre trying to portray this as though its for the benefit of the human race

• if you believe in sterilising undesirables, who will do the sterilising? if you believe in killing undesirables, who will do the killing?
• who will classify people as undesirables?
• if people are classified as undesirables based on supposedly objective measures, who developed these objective measures? how do you know that they're objective? if this is based on criminal conviction, how do you know the courts have ruled correctly and fairly?
• what happens when a non-undesirable person is misidentified as an undesirable? is that a tragedy?
• do you think that undesirable behaviour is the result of nature or nurture? is undesirable behaviour the genetic destiny of undesirable genes?
• what happens when The Party That You Don't Like comes into power over this program?
• is this program democratically controlled? would democratic control of this program be a good thing? how else should it be controlled?
• are you an undesirable? could you become an undesirable?
• how do you feel about the way eugenics has gone in the past (i.e. a justification for imperialism and mass death)? what will be different about your ideal program?

off topic but this person doesn't have a toaster on hand? what kind of monster is this?

this is a wizard's computer

honestly its probably time for reddit me irl to be put to bed

well, keep us posted

for the most part i like anatomy but sometimes it gives me an existential crisis. like fetal heart development/mechanics of the first breath is such an absurd and byzantine process it makes me think that there is a god but they are fucking deranged.

i like that this guy is scolding someone for portraying a male predator animal (i guess??) because vore is supposedly "generally known as a female exclusive power". like you're on furaffinity dot com telling people off for making porn that doesnt exactly fit the mould?

moreover telling someone that gay furry shit gets a "dim and tiny" audience is just outright incorrect lol

why would someone do this

dont be rude they are guests.

unbelievable. planned obsolescence in action. teletext ityool 2023 should be running at a buttery 144 frames per second. lazy devs

i think the doom guys teletext face is better than the original. he's just having a good time

hes operating entirely from the command line. he doesn't need a mouse

theyre ok

its like punishment for being alive

this game should be called Tears of the Tingdom and be about tingle.

thank you for the warning

radiohead I'm Every Woman cover
