kim be like: execute? no i said ex is cute

interesting how there is so much 3rd party discourse about dprk, one side saying it’s bad while another side says it’s good, yet we hardly hear 1st hand experiences. why don’t we see at least some north koreans on lemmy or other platforms sharing their personal experiences of living there, telling us whether they think it’s bad or good? or why isn’t there north korean platform accesibile to the public where non-north koreans can peek into the activities of north koreans? it’s pretty much just outsiders arguing with other outsiders with no input from the insiders

freedom, hell yeah! i can’t wait to legally marry my same-sex partner and smoke some weed in china! wait a minute…

i am not claiming one is right and the other is wrong. i am simply claiming that, for reasons outside of my control, eating meat evokes a positive emotion within me while zoophilia evokes a negative emotion. just like i cannot help it when i find vanilla ice cream more delicious than chocolate ice cream, i cannot help it when i experience a positive emotion when eating meat and a negative emotion when confronted with zoophilia. i am not making a factual statement about reality, i am just expressing my emotions and letting that guide my sense of morality. and i am a mere observer of my emotions, not their author.

the distinction between food and supplements is purely regulatory and semantic. at what point does something become a food or a supplement? if i lack vitamin c and i eat an orange, have i supplemented with vitamin c? b12 supplements are made through microbial fermentation, like alcohol or vinegar or lactic acid. if i need iron and i take a pill, i’ve supplemented with iron, but if need sodium and i eat salt, have i supplemented? starch and sugar are simple chemicals extracted from whole foods, yet they are still considered foods. my point is that there is no true objective distinction between food and supplements, it’s just a vague label like “natural/unnatural”

emotivism. when i eat burger i say “yay”, when you fuck animal i say “boo”
