The Spurs fans behind us snapped these pics without us knowing. Said it was a great father-son moment they wanted me to have. My dad is 84 and has been taking me to Spurs games since I was 5. Tonight, I took him. Love my dad. Go Spurs Go! #PorVida

@UnderhillJonas Accidental injury in a sport is considerably further from slavery than what I am talking about when I reference unethically produced or pirated/stolen porn! Incidentally I do think UFC is generally Bad but that’s neither here nor there

@DistractedAnna UFC fighters, for example, also experience a lot of mental and physical pain, also sometimes due an illegal move or perhaps a trick done to them that they didn't sign up for. This misses the key bad aspect of slavery imo, which is the removal of fundamental freedoms.

@UnderhillJonas Likewise I’ve squiggled into vegetarianism over the last few years because I have slowly come to find animal suffering to be real and meaningfully avoidable but, like, I don’t think it’s anything close to the same level as the human suffering of slavery

@UnderhillJonas I would not say that an individual victimized by revenge porn or by having their boundaries in a performance disregarded or pushed is experiencing the same thing as a person in slavery; it’s not a perfect comparison

@EconBerger Yeah the vegetarianism works if, like, you get rid of your family’s thriving ranch or something

@DistractedAnna Something all these analogies lack - slavery was the foundation of a lot of southern economic enterprise. So this isn’t about choosing to consume something evil, it’s about “would you shut down a lucrative (relative to alternatives) family business”

@DistractedAnna I like the idea that being raised by a slave owning family might change your opinion about owning slaves but the vegetarian would definitely still be vegetarian. That's certainly not a product of upbringing at all

Media here mostly means porn but also Content that humiliates or harms unwitting participants

It’s astounding how much cheaper groceries and other barcoded goods are now and how much better it is to shop

I feel like people freaked out about barcodes when they were new in roughly similar ways to how people are fussing about dynamic pricing and the (pretty distant) possibility of hyper-individualized pricing

The refusal of a handful of people in the US exposed to Ebola to quarantine was, like, wall to wall cable news coverage back in the day

Realistically people’s eagerness to demand that those exposed to Andean Hantavirus* quarantine should be similar to their eagerness to demand the same of those exposed to Ebola yeah?

Something I've noticed is the extent to which ambition is dependant on opportunity. Some initially have lots of ambition but find there's limited possibility to advance as they progress & so stop caring. Others claim they are not ambitious but recalibrate as opportunities emerge.
