@rice @eal @hj there's been massive non-violent changes in societies especially in the recent history, the past has been different and of course conflicts and the changes they bring are more visible in history books

black people are called people of color but black is literally the opposite of color really makes you think

As I've revealed in my last Patreon post, I've been working on adding end-to-end encryption APIs into Mastodon as an upgrade to the direct message system.

Any and all technical details available at the moment are here:

github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/

An implementation guide for app developers is being worked on.

@kaniini @mewmew @realcaseyrollins I think morally, a women should carry it to term since it's the potential for another soul to come into this world. If financially unstable, putting the child up for adoption. That said I do believe a lot of foster homes to be under developed so I'm not sure how viable that is an option, though I'd argue just about any foster child you ask would rather be alive than not
@cirno @mewmew @realcaseyrollins

besides, "choose life: your mother did" is a more effective message for anyone who respects the sanctity of life.
@cirno @kaniini @realcaseyrollins dogs and pigs are about as intelligent, are you opposed to killing them too?
@kaniini @mewmew @realcaseyrollins Going back to the argument, I feel as if killing a dog is wrong and so is killing a baby. Despite any studies on neocortex development. Humans should have morals, and those morals shouldn't depend on if certain parts of the brain are "developed enough".

Hell, I don't even see why this conversation is happening, or what you're trying to prove here. You're trying to prove why babies don't "count" yet you don't support post-birth killing. So why the talk on neuroscience?
@cirno @mewmew @realcaseyrollins

(incidentally, the lack of the DMN is why nobody has memories of childhood before being a toddler. the DMN is what enables episodic memory.)
@kaniini @mewmew @realcaseyrollins Even so, it varies from child to child. It's not something you can actually quantify. And I'd argue a baby being able to say "mama" counts as sentient in my book
