Huh, okay. I don’t really keep up with all of the little fandoms, so thanks for that!

Perhaps it’s a personal failing but I generally don’t care why somebody doesn’t abuse minors, I only really care that they don’t abuse minors.

To be fair, Epstein only eventually went to jail, and those convictions were under an entirely different DOJ

Isn’t there some question about the specifics of the mechanism of lift itself? Not like “this shouldn’t be possible!” but more “it’s easier to explain than it is to understand”

Can’t wait to hear your plan

“Anecdata”!? I love it, where did you get it?

Lmao, with what money?

Like you said, it’s been around for a while, so most of the actual dungeons have been picked clean and all we’ve really been left with over the last 30-40 years barely fit the legal definition!

Insane that anybody thought this was a good idea.

In “playing” sight isn’t a misheard phrase I’ve encountered before, but that’s a little surprising given how much sense it makes.

You mean kneels… Like a terrorist!

Before you take any action, simply ask yourself, “Is this something that a fascist would do?”

To be fair, Putin is also called President

But exploitation has worked flawlessly for hundreds of years! I can’t think of a single powerful group that doesn’t swear by it!

Yeah, I thought “stay woke” meant to pay attention originally. As in wake up and see how we’re being divided.

Any idea what kind of coding error might delete weirdly specific parts of a web page? Might as well have said it was a spooky ghost.

Oh man, you hit upon why it makes me twitch. Because this has always been thoroughly hypothetical for me I somehow never considered the other half of the social equation!

Yes, that’s exactly it: if it’s used as a way to unduly elevate themselves over others. That was the part that I was stuck on but couldn’t articulate. Now I know what I would do if I ever ran into this situation (just call me mister, lol), so thanks for that.

What’s your view on calling people Doctor in general?

On the one hand it’s a title that you earn through a great deal of prolonged effort. On the other hand it’s just a title, a label, and I don’t feel like I should be under any obligation to refer to somebody by anything other than their name. But then what do you do if they introduce themselves as Doctor Smith or whatever?

In practice I just use the honorific because it’s the socially acceptable thing to do, but I’m grumpy about it. I say this because I’ve at least heard of people who insist on being called doctor and it feels so douchy I don’t want to give them the satisfaction.

It would be real fucking weird for any news outlet to post a picture of a dead body like that.

Thanks for fact checking

“Besides, what if she were to claim that America wasn’t the land of the free, how would THAT look?”
