This does actually kinda surprise me. I figured they wanted to keep him alive to make an example out of him.

The prison he was sent to is basically an oubliette. Those things are designed to kill you faster.

That sucks TC. The worst I had to deal with was a week and we couldn't leave our house due to a down power line

Stretch marks and loose skin are battle wounds as far as I'm concerned

I admit I was a big fan when I was young. Legends of the Hidden Temple was always my jam

Israel does more war crimes. Israel continues it's genocidal approach. Yep. Must be a Monday

People said the same thing about the base game. It'll come out when it comes out

If that's the only negative, ok fine.

Of course

Better compensation for workers and an end to forced labor (i.e slavery) if it meant that the price of chocolate doubled or even trippled?

The chocolate industry is reliant on a combination of slaves, poor labourers and children to keep the industry's prices as low as they are. Very few companies even make a slight effort (Anything with the Fair Trade label) and even fewer actively make an effort to curtail it. (Tony's Chocolate). Doing so would obviously require a sizable sacrifice for the price of chocolate and would likely lead to a crash of the industry until it could recovered and complied and changed gears.

back then my school didn't have a school cop. Prob now almost all high schools do....Did you school have a metal detector though?

Nope. Not sure if it does now or not. I think they hired another cop as a security guard though. My school did have a zanny history. There was a drug bust that went awry at my school where several security guards had to go to the hospital. Good times.

Like once or twice a year. Only once did the school cop had to get involved.

Anyway it's all a matter of degrees right? Like you need to weigh potential harm with the potential benefits. You can talk about it in public, you can even get away wearing very little clothing out on the streets but the minute you walk into a store, it's expected you have some more decorum.

Similar to children, it's ok to give them the birds and bees but it is vastly inappropriate to tell them the squishy details of how they were conceived, for example. With that said, by the age of like 14/15 you should be able to have honest and frank conversations with your kid about any subject so it doesn't force a situation where they feel compelled to go online and ask strangers.

Even then, you can't get too X-rated there, from what I understand.

Talking and showing pics are two seperate things. One is just normal nonsense, the other is a consent violation when done poorly.

The mods, youtube algorithm

That's fair. But isn't there a sex board? Pretty sure you can talk about fucking there

People should be able to talk about sex freely tbh

Who is stopping you?

What did I ever do to this guy?

I think it's more like a bubble. Like bubbles exist in all industries, the goal is to make sure they don't grow too much. When corporations start to feel the crunch and infinite wealth generation proves to be a lie or backers back out after they didn't hit projected numbers, this causes a rebound crunch where the company, in order to make their stocks remain strong start to rely on the tried and true methods: slower wage increases, cost increases, lay offs, stock-buy backs etc. But often times these only prop up a business a little more and they are artificial at best as the increase costs and less ability to maintain what they had start to hurt business operations leading to further losses. Thus always to MegaCorps

So why is this a bad thing? Are people saying this is a bad thing?

Back sleeper, side sleeper or stomach sleeper?

Wil Wheaton literally said he got triggered because that's the way his dad used to beat him as a kid (plus he loves the muppets). You may not agree with him, but it would take a complete lack of empathy not to recognize why this would be difficult for him to watch. Wil Wheaton has been pretty open about his abusive childhood, mental health struggles, and so forth. I think he gets a pass on this to feel however he wants.

I'm in agreement. I'm not sure I agree with his assessment, but it's understandable. Dragging him on social media seems a bit much

Yes but I'd live.

Yes. Although I'll die on the hill that Lemony Snicket being his best role

"A flamethrower is not a firearm" they say about a device whose sole purpose is to shoot fire.

Technically, any weapon can be classified as a "tool"

Hey, in some places you can buy an Rocket Launcher. Just can't buy the ammo :D

So either biden isn't helping you personally or isnt helping others.

Which is it?

Both. What has Joe Biden done to protect queer people?

All of this is helping them:

Not good enough. I have friends and family facing uncertain futures where this country might literally try to kill them when a conservative gains power. And I mean when, not if, because it will happen eventually unless more is done. And I'm supposed to care about all that as the day to day management becomes worse and worse for queer people everywhere

One of my wife's best friend had her loans cancelled. She was unfortunate enough to go to a scam school.
This is an old article from 2023

That's good. Truly

At the federal level, they've codified gay marriage, climate bills, lots of medical items to lower costs for Medicare and others, etc. Many state legislatures have also codified abortion rights after roe v wade

Meanwhile, my health insurance doubled in cost, gay marriage was never not going to be a thing where I live, climate change good, abortion good but meanwhile you have... Texas and Florida and other shitty as states making things infinitely worse. What is helping those people?

Not sure if I'm missing the sarcasm, but the ones most impacted by the loan forgiveness so far have been the lower income people, not "wealthy fucks

I don't know anyone who has been positively effected. Do you? I can see some meaningful reforms with student loan consolidation, but if you were already in a payment plan, it likely didn't do much for you or like for me, would have costed more and would have extended how long I had to pay for it before forgiveness sets in. Life's a bitch

Wait... What has Biden done to protect me? What has he defended? Like actually codified or is it just being an outspoken advocate? I mean I'll take it but this is not s great bar

Also student loan reform/forgiveness hasn't trickled down to me yet so I'll just sit here getting pissed on by the wealthy fucks who made out like bandits

I mean if you don't believe me, go post some questions online and see what they say...? I'm active in the trans community and this is my experience with discussions surrounding moving or visiting places, it depends on the laws and political climate, bills under consideration or what types of policies are being pursued, etc. We don't just make blanket statements "stay away from this state no matter what" for any place that has anti trans sentiment like Texas for example. In the US, Florida is basically at the top of the list of do not visit or move to live there.

We have trans people all over the US who chime in on these discussions with their lived experiences in said areas as well.

I can confirm this as well. Don't go to Texas either if you can help it, mind, but it doesn't have the same level as Florida. Give it time though. I think I can still use my Drivers Licence in Texas at the very least. So I'm not guilty of fraud just by entering

This. Nazi Germany started painting LGBTQ as pedophiles and burned books about them before shipping them off to the gas chambers. Just a heads up, disabled people also got sent to the gas chambers with other disadvantaged minorities if you really are disabled Mrbakerman

The federal government needs to step in. It's not a state's right to decide which people are allowed to have rights. We settled that dispute with the Civil War.

This is supposed to be illegal. The government should have supremacy but... Until it gets solved in courts

Another person to add to my ignore list. These have to be alts. The rate at which I block people has gotten to the point where you would think that it would make a sizable dent in CEs community but like I don't even notice.

Are you actually going to bat for known shithead Elon Musk?

Whose alt?

Their name reminds me of PokemonFanatic44 or whatever their name was. The posting is reminiscent too. But it's too early to tell anything.

Kevin Spacey will probably always be my Ur example

This isnt equality

This is equity, which is a twisted version of equality that favours equal outcomes over equal opportunities.

There is a lot to unpack here...

Anywho, seems like good stuff. Good on Disney. Looking to see his lawsuit crash and burn just like everything else

Elon's comments are the quintessential "when you are used to privilege, equality feels like oppression"

MrAntisocial posted...

If I remember right Project 2025 is more about absolute executive power. Florida is just very gerrymandered and as a result its legislature agrees with DeSantis. Wisconsin would be doing the same shit had Evers lost

More about, yes. But they said what they want to do with that power is to make sexual assault of minors a death penalty crime and then make any LGBT exposure to children considered sexual assault of children. Trans people by just being visible would be guilty of this.

How has this not been done. It has environmentalism, 90s nostalgia, and a superhero.

I keep wondering that too. It seems prime for a reboot.

ROBANN_88 posted...

i think you're confusing it with Rome.
i know Rome had that outlook, and Greece was way gayer than them

Noooooo Rome was much stricter. If you were the submissive/passive partner at all, that was bad regardless of your age. With maybe, maaaaaaybe the exception being young boys. Emphasis on young and boy. And even then... well, they still would mock the shit out of you.

haloiscoolisbak posted...

Didn't like every Greek have some slave boy they fucked on the side

It feels like homosexuality was more accepted in that era than in any other in history

I can't remember the exact rules that generally governed homosexuality. Iirc as long as you were the older, active/dominant partner or the younger submissive/passive partner it was considered acceptable. That's not counting weird special status that you got to have if you were a priest of some sort which let you have other things.

But as for the second? Fuck no. They were too patriarchal. Two women having sex was confusing and weird to them to the extent that they didn't even see it as sex and again, outside specific cults and priestess roles, fucking between women was dishonorable.

Meanwhile in other civilizations they were like "You gay? Cool. You trans? You have magic powers" the Greeks were not great. Better then the Romans but I'm not sure that says much.

Idk what this solves or fixes.

Alexander? Gay? Noooooo noooooo. Well maybe

No but if it were a Captain Planet reboot, I would watch it a heartbeat

Yes though she should be having her sights aimed at her job more

Just block them and move on. I had to remove a slew after Roe v. Wade got overturned for simply being the worst people and moderators not doing anything about it.

Ending was good. No complaints

No but if you are driving and you are caught speeding or the cop thinks you did anything wrong they might look deeper especially if they think they've clocked you. Like, getting pulled over for routine traffic related things just happens sometimes.

Had a horrifying thought. The first one was "no cop pulls you over to check your registration and inspection and then I thought of the checkpoints they create to do literally that. Now apply that logic to trans people.
