Probably not. He seemed to take the initiative in life quite often.

Granted, given the circumstances around sexuality at the time he really had to be proactive.

I’d get it done and over with. I would resent myself forever, and accept any punishment for it, but it’s better than waiting to see if someone wants to decide to kill off half the world later on. Would be even easier if I could take the first persons spot on the tracks so there only has to be one messed up person rather than two.

Thought I was in the boring dystopia community instead. I suppose I’ll just continue to hope that this is too impractical to happen or that those responsible aren’t competent enough to make it happen.

Yet another reason to despise AI. Animals deserve to be safe too. We’ve already taken so much from them as it is.

You don’t need to cheat when the bar association decides to be lazy and use AI to write the exam itself.

For those that don’t get it this is survivorship bias.

During World War 2 they were attempting to figure out how to better equip the planes they had to survive. A certain statistician by the name of Wald figured out that the holes in the planes that they could track weren’t that important because those were the planes that returned. Instead it was safer to assume that everywhere else needed better protection, as the planes that received damage in those areas weren’t returning.

Sorry if I ruined the funny, but I saw the downvotes and was concerned.

Never letting go of it.

No contact. I tried. I tried so hard to point out the wrongs committed by the regime that I thought that they would disagree with, but MAGAs just bend reality around it all.

It’s painful, given that most of us don’t do this out of a sense of right or wrong, but because we care. You get used to it eventually though.

A spokesman for the Pokémon Company International told the Daily Beast, “We are aware of a recent video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand. “Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property.”

It’s pure damage control. It’s a shame to see it.

Don’t get me wrong, there could be a take down request going on in the background, but that’s futile. DHS and ICE are federal agencies. Taking on federal agencies is near impossible for a variety of reasons I won’t get into. The process is entirely in the governments favor, and always has been, even prior to a fascist regime taking over.

Given all that, it would be much more comforting to see the companies involved speaking out a bit more, but that’s asking for too much I’d say.

Can’t deny this.

I come from a family of MAGAts and when they’re angry at something they make sure everyone knows it. They boycott aggressively, tell all their friends and family to do the same and they do not let up.

My friends and fiancee are really, really bad about these things in comparison. I’m sure our canceled subscriptions will be back in 3-4 months.

SL was too complicated when I was a kid. Might be different now, but a lot of us went onto IMVU instead. It originally had no separation for over and under 18 accounts, but even after they added it you had both kids and adults blatantly intermingling anyways. You couldn’t search up over 18 rooms as under 18 or search under 18 rooms as over 18, but people could still invite and chat.

Nothing quite like being 15 and hanging out with your friends until one of them invites their mid-twenties boyfriend to the chat.

Besides being cowards the few magats with brains also realize that they do not actually want all out war.

If they start shoving large parts of the country, then those parts are going to shove back. It’s significantly easier to keep going at slower pace that invites less resistance. They’re going to work towards disposing smaller circles of groups they dislike until they feel comfortable enough to deal with the rest of us.

That’s what a lot of us are waiting for unfortunately.

The Trump regime has been moving very quickly to consolidate power, and they didn’t even have a casus belli. Now they have one. In the conservative mind Charlie Kirk has become a martyr who must be avenged.

When a client tells you they’ve done their own research. Either go pro se or shut up and let us handle your mess.

It’s alright, that lawyer is just outside counsel, he was expendable.

It’s not as uncommon as you’d think. People are relying on their parents more than ever, and parents who are willing to help are using this as an opportunity to provide help with strings attached.

It’s been happening in the real world for a long time.

There’s all sorts of anti-homeless architecture out there such as changing benches to make sleeping on them uncomfortable, or adding spikes anywhere on the ground someone might seek shelter. We waste so much money and time attempting to make these poor peoples lives more miserable when all of that could have gone towards simply removing the issue of homelessness.

where exactly is random based on the birth rate (if a region has a higher birth rate it is more likely that you are born there)

Even if this wasn’t included I was already thinking of this. A, C and I all seem like they have rather good odds at putting you somewhere in Africa.

We’re really going back to behaving like we’re living in the middle ages. Your wife can’t conceive? Time to find an excuse to get rid of her as that’s one of her only purposes and you need a heir.

Ah, turns out that all genies use the same code as nuclear gandhi.
