I Think Sometimes People Think Eugenics Is Bad But Its Still True, Like Thinking That If People With

I think sometimes people think eugenics is bad but its still true, like thinking that if people with certain traits have children it will change society for better or worse based upon what traits are promoted. I think its important to emphasize that eugenics is not only wrong morally it's also fake and stupid bullshit

Like eugenics was supposed to be based on the idea that "If it works with animals to select only the best ones to breed, why wouldn't it work with humans?"

well it doesn't work with animals, that's the thing. applying the eugenics ideas to domestic breeds of animals hasn't made better animals it's just made animals with more extreme expression of certain traits. turns out that when you decide which traits are the "best" and become obsessed with the genetic purity of the animals that have the "best" traits, you might well end up with some sad suffering creature like a Pug, or the Persian cats with the smashed faces that are in constant pain because their teeth and airways and brains are getting crushed by their skulls, or those meat chickens that grow so fast they can hardly even stand up after a few weeks old, or inbred race horses with tiny feet and fragile toothpick legs

like almost all traits are neither "good" or "bad" they're way more complex than that. a long tail or a long snout or a stubborn, independent personality can be good or bad depending on the situation. Who gets to decide what is a "good" trait or a "bad" trait? It's arbitrary and selecting for traits that are "good" in your opinion will often have both "good" and "bad" outcomes because the "good" and "bad" are part of each other and not separate its just part of being alive

Obviously oversimplifying everything but you get it. we did eugenics with dogs and how did that go? not very well

Q&A: Kolya Reizner

Oh my... I'll do my best!

oh hell no who put grandpa on the mic

WEN asks: What are the best locations to visit in the Zone in your opinion?
Woah, that’s a hard one…
The Ol’ Town, maybe. You can throw things in ‘ere and watch ‘em twist and warp.
It’s real beautiful, the way everythin’ melts n’ flows, I tell ya. But few folks take to it...
Oh, maybe the White Techa?
There’s always them ball lightnings and electros floatin’ above the water. When it gets dark, it all glows an’ flashes. There’s that thick cyan fog, an’ it cracks, an’ it smells like ozone.
But, uh... You best bring some sunglasses.
SKELETON asks: What was it like taking care of younger Sergei and Sasha after they lost their father? Do you look back fondly on the memories you made at that time?
It was mighty hard!
I’m no good with paperwork, never was... So, uh, sometimes things just didn’t go to plan. 

[An image of Nikita and Kolya at the computer. Kolya has mistyped the bank account number.
Nikita: “An’ you sent everythin’ there?”
Kolya: “Everythin’.”
Nikita: “For cryin’ out loud…”]
But we had a heap of good moments, of course.
Serozha was a real smart boy — talented, too. An’ Sasha sure was curious.
The two had a good ear for music. That's a wondeful thing, now ain't it?
HAPPYSERGEI123 asks: Hey, uncle :) Do you have any particularly fond memories with Sergei or Sanya?
Yeah. We had ourselves a real fine trip with the kids years back.
I reckon Serozha must've been 'bout 17 then, Sasha was… I ain’t sure.
We went to visit some graves and stopped at a coupla landmarks on the way.
It was real nice.
HOW TF DID THAT WORK asks: Do you relate to this list:
- little eye contact;
- distinct reactions to lights, tastes, smells, sounds, colours, textures;
- very specific interests;
- repeating words or phrases (echolalia);
- repetitive behaviours, such as spinning or other forms of stimming;
- nonverbal communication or delayed language development;
- intense reactions to minor changes in routine or surroundings;
- difficulty understanding social cues and fitting in with peers.
Oh, that’s one of those, uh… I know those.
Psycho tests, yeah?
I ain’t no psycho, don’t you worry.

How I think how Silco’s knife clattering to the ground when first meeting powder/jinx represents and foreshadows their relationship

How I Think How Silco’s Knife Clattering To The Ground When First Meeting Powder/jinx Represents And

Thinking abt how when Silco first approaches powder he hides his knife behind his back, possibly intending to finish the job after getting the info he needs. AKA Vander’s knife, the same knife that Silco swiped and used to escape from Vander during his drowning. Which he kept all those years, and ended up ultimately killing Vander with just moments prior, a shot cuts to Vander’s blood still fresh and dripping from the blade. A knife he has used to defend himself from both danger and death, to protect himself from harm by someone he loved.

But when powder goes and hugs Silco, that knife clatters to the ground, out of his grasps. Silco’s protection, the one thing that had helped Silco escape death, the one thing he uses to defend himself. When his hand first rises, Silco’s goons make a face, most likely expecting to hurt/push away powder. But this time there is no violence, instead there are welcoming arms.

In that moment, the knife dropping to the ground not only shows powder breaking down Silco’s emotional walls that he had built up to protect himself. But also to show that when he hugs her back, Silco is quite literally and unknowingly accepting death with open arms.

In the show we see that even when Jinx is hostile towards him and purposely hurting Silco, he’s relatively calm, and doesn’t return the hostility. Or when she makes mistakes, Silco is forgiving. In their relationship, Silco “has no knife”, aka he has no defense when it comes to Jinx. Because, she is his undoing, Jinx is Silco’s weakness, and it was shown from the very start.

When powder first pulls a jinx, killing her family and vander in the process, Silco welcomes her with open arms. And in the last episode when she pulls another jinx, killing Silco, Silco only has love and reassurance to give. No knife to protect himself this time, again finding himself at death’s door because of someone he loves. But this time there’s no bitterness or hate. Only forgiveness, understanding and love, the things Vander failed to show him when Silco pulled his own jinx and ended up being the cause of Felicia’s death.

But yeah. Idk if any of this made sense. But. Is there anything so undoing…as a daughter? SOBS

Sometimes non-binary people in real life look like men. Did you guys know that? did you guys know many people don't have the resources to alter their facial structure to fit into your (eurocentric, by the way) ideal of "androgynous"? did you know some non-binary people have physical traits that are commonly associated with their sex that was assigned at birth. Sometimes they don't have the energy to shave or the money to get electrolysis or the desire to get top surgery or the genes for hormone therapy to make a big difference in their appearances Did you know that when you complain about a non-binary character in fiction looking "like a man" you harm actual non-binary people and let them know you're not safe to be around unless they do a lot of surgery, makeup and hormonal treatments to be what you want them to be. Did you fucking know!!!!

And it seems like almosy NO one has seen it. Bruh. Y'all are missing out.

Just Normal Teenagers by Soulless_Fawn.
