the unexpected thing is that due to one of their shared faults, bizzare nationalist antisemitism they had the same opinion of the zionist project.

the Nazi line on the subject was of course far cruder, but it boiled down to the same thing

"What a great idea, to try to cure the Jews of parisitism."

By contrast I'm expected to talk to a family I want nooothing to do with because of what they did to my mother. My fam is weird. They do not respect any boundaries whatsoever and just want me to spend time with them no matter what emotional parisitism that entails. They're immune from introspection.

Yes it does. Also brown headed cowbirds are creatures (generally birders are negative on them due to the nest parisitism)

good segue into tonight's games

Robotrick - neat game about navigating a hostile bot player who's better than you
Prophecy - simple, clean trick taking
Rapido - Knizia Can't Stop, always liked this one
Watch Out! Thats a Dracula - Quincy/10
TransAmerica - classic family game of parisitism, love it

He spits in the face of his staunchest supporters.

Yet they go back for more.

Time and time again.

It’s a sad symbiotic relationship.

And so the new concept for the day is "root hemi-parisitism".

Thanks so much! Very cool plant to research!

It's the social contract. If you don't agree Libertarian it up and do it yourself. Roads, schools, etc. If capitalism doesn't serve the society it thrives in what is it but systemic parisitism that will eventually topple the structure? Inquiring minds want to know 🫡

Speaking of trying to self-heal when society is root of malaise, this point made remarkably well on Alienist ( yes I consumed some last night 🥹). Dr Gabor mate has great lectures re same “when society makes you sick) Also love the point of parisitism regarding time & energy. Ty for post.

The 50-year mortgage is brilliant, in a sick way.

It amounts to the financial sector buying up & renting out all housing, but with “homeowners” absorbing maintenance risk + rhetorical fig leaf of “homeownership.”

If only we were as innovative in value-creating industries as we are in parisitism.

the actual Vampirism-the blood-sucking parisitism, the erotics of exsanguination-is back-burnered for this idea of a contagion. thats never been core to vampire stories, thats ZOMBIES. at a certain point u have to ask: are you even interested in vampires? or just the aesthetics, an R-rated The Count

To Brett, and Brian and that whole ecosystem of oligarchic exploitation and parisitism

Typical amerikkkan parisitism

Being an SF author who has a fascination with how different *sapient* species might reproduce, I'm now on a mental rabbithole of sperm parisitism and ethics. Are both species sapient? What if the creatures needed for some stage of reproduction are otherwise livestock? What if it's a voluntary

Been an interesting day for birds here. This morning we had a Sooty Grouse hanging around for a couple hours. Just now I observed my first case of brood parisitism - a white crowned sparrow was feeding a brown-headed cowbird! No other fledglings just the one cowbird.

Classic Animal mutualism: everybody wins.

Humans are classic animal parisitism: we benefit at the expense of others.

When a community rejects its responsibility to the state it benefits from, it’s no longer a matter of disagreement—it’s a moral obscenity. | OPINION

Sure, Trek can have villains. But make them either unthinking monsters with weird biology or make their evil a conscious choice that some people make while others of their race do not.

Eg: Make the parisitism a technology that gorn made out of desperation centuries ago but some refused to give up.

Federation citizens love their GornPods. They have Gorn weddings outside where everyone has torches. You describe your toddlers as younglings when they have a tantrum. Teenagers sneak meridor after a football game. The most popular tag on PornHub would be parisitism (GornHub?).
