Yeah as a lesbian I’ve seen gay boy misogyny and this ain’t it
I’m an apostate and I can say that if you managed to get to the eucharist you should know that when you don’t know something about catholic doctrine you’re supposed to run it up the msgisterium. That’s what they’re there for. Priests go to college for this shit and usually can set you right. If they don’t know they can ask a bishop. If it’s pressing and uncertain the pope may need to make a call. And if a world leader asks it the pope actually might
Lol. You’re only allowed to be that bad of a catholic if you were born one or at least have been one for a decade or two. Recent converts realizing catholicism isn’t the aesthetic is funny

“Attempted murder? What next? The Nobel prize in attempted physics?”
I think he might be speaking about 16 year old boys. He seems mad that they’re children instead of working father’s.
He believes any woman not currently pregnant is an abomination unto nuggan

Yeah and the Irish won in America, we decided to keep their parade
I don’t either. But if they’re joining an intramural league, I oppose it. Because its a league defined by amateurism in which nobody’s really seeking to profit.
When we talk NCAA or Olympics then I think that as people are starting to profit off of it the athletes should profit. Though I ask why we’re endorsing the everyone profit model rather than the “college sports teams should more resemble high school ones and we create a minor league instead” model.
Lets go to a form of labor I’ve done: open mic nights. Comedians should be able to make money off their craft, but open mic nights shouldn’t pay because that creates conditions that ruin the point. It’s a space where anyone can go up, try their hand, and with minimal judgment perform. You being good is a nice surprise to the audience, unlike when you’re being paid where they have reason to expect it. It’s a different environment, one more focused on the human desire to create and perform and share it and on the development of skills to a level that they can be sold.
That’s what amateurism is about. It’s about keeping it low key, keeping the expectations reasonable, and keeping the vibe of “people are selling their stuff here” out. It’s the same reason that as a former nudes poster who has dated nudes sellers I’ve wanted to keep those communities separated.
So yeah, it kills the vibes and for us supporters of amateurism we know we’re losing out on highly skilled people’s contributions to our communities when we say we’d rather them not engage in commercial works in those realms. Thats OK.
And I’d like to add that I do purchase art from former amateurs when they move into professional realms. Tamsyn Muir is my favorite author and her writing drips of her fanfic history. But her fanfic is for her and under a name idk if shes even released, and I wouldn’t buy it if she were to sell it wholecloth, because that kills the vibes.
Being paid to compete in professional sports vs being paid to compete in intramural sports. It’s the same industry is it not?
Labor is labor, and copyleft is great. Hell copyright has massive issues. But also if youre going to participate in amateur labor where it would be illegal to profit, something wonderful and fulfilling for many people, then you don’t get mad when you don’t get paid. If you decide you’d like to make it something you get compensated for you can file the serial numbers off as has become a common practice for fanfic writers who achieve a certain level of popularity.
But also, the exchange of money changes the nature of labor. Labor done out of love and a desire to create and act and give to one’s community is deeply human and quite satisfying and it’s why amateur communities develop culture of amateurism. And it’s why many people who don’t want to do these things for a living choose to do them for a hobby
Temple only runs family friendly games. And the entire doom series, which has been deemed sufficiently holy
Defending amateurism in amateur fields is reasonable. Especially when amateurism is a legal defense of the practice such as modding. Professional mods without official license are copyright violations.
This is similar to fanfic communities. The amateurism of the field gives it part of its charm and community, and it also makes it easier for people to come in, develop these skills, and move into creating and selling original works if they’d like to move in that direction.
So are uninhabitable tropics. I’m allowed to hate capital for both
You sound based af dude
And the thing is, when magats talk about manufacturing, that’s what they’re envisioning.
That said, sewing is generally understood to be shit work in manufacturing
Fucking hell that’s sad
