Teenagers are far more tuned into the wider social atmosphere than people give them credit for.

"we hate HR ladies" makes sense in the context of "HR ladies will probably frown on us coercing our subordinates to attend ketamine fueled sex orgies where we invite children and our female colleagues to get raped by redpilled men to prove they're cool"

Having been in this situation before, take a washcloth, wet it, scrub your teeth. It's better than nothing.

I vaguely wonder if they are conflating men who are closeted with bi.

I am still working with an Olympus Tough 5, which does well but I want to advance. I like bees and spiders.

As the oldest daughter of 5, this is not surprising.

My dad grew up on the south side, and several guys he grew up with became priests. My dad had a saying when we were growing up, that something would happen when so-and-so (fill in the blank from the list) became the first American Pope (aka, something would never happen). Guess who was on that list.

Because it's a slightly less boring take on bland beige and art deco is whimsy at its finest.

I had enough problems with the old fashioned summer break between seasons. This bs pretty much means I'm not going to start watching something until I know it's done.

Pretty much what I'm doing except I'm using my armchair and foot stool, and I also have the TV remote and the switch controller in there as well.

It also opens the door to actual traffickers or possessors of CSAM to claim everything is AI generated when they actually had a child in their basement they exploited for a year. It encourages killing child victims, so recognition to a real child can’t be matched in court.

Reading this tough op-ed by Alison Pill made me feel that we need to have the same conversation about the ethics of using child actors as about the ethics of professional football: Why are we willing to let people be irretrievably harmed in the name of fun?

We might have worked on different sets, for different directors, in different eras, but every child actor bears the same recognizable wounds.

Sometimes it happens and nobody knows why. Or if you're me, it's chronic and still unexplained.

No it's primarily the young adult men. My 20yo son complains about how his fellow young men are gross and conservative.

They don't work for me. Like waking up in the middle of surgery doesn't work. Also I found a dentist who is willing to work on me without injections because they are so unreliable I don't want to try. I also learned recently that if Tylenol doesn't work, that's a totally different gene issue.

I have found your MCAS lists very interesting, but mainly because certain things that destroy my life are on there, and many things I have literally no problem with are as well. I kind of wonder if it's because I'm a redhead and genetically screwed in other ways as well

We are not even going to talk about my shingles bumps, which are still trying to figure out if they are going to pop and crust 5 weeks after the full antiviral course.

It also kind of raises the question of how Bond villains seem to be able to do their massive evil projects with complete secrecy.

Imagine actually writing down all this shit, then getting it published. We already knew that misogyny, "parental rights", pedophilia and transphobia was a circle; it comes from viewing children & women as subhumans. No matter the starting point, it spirals to the same maelstrom of horror.

the guy who made up this fake syndrome very openly believed and said that CSA was "normal and harmless" and that children who were sexually abused should be forced to remain with their fathers no matter what. he wrote a book about "sex abuse panic" that was cited by the founders of the FMSF.

Ask yourself who benefits from defining heroism as engaging in individual, physical danger in rare and highly visible circumstances—that is, acts that most people don’t have the opportunity to perform, and many people *cannot* perform.

Those investing the most in AI are funding and platforming those political operatives who keep hunting and hounding Black academics with false claims that they plagiarized.

Hmm. I'm sitting on a sofa chair with one leg over the arm, one leg straight out over a foot stool, a blanket intentionally balled up and jammed against one hip, and my phone kind of just hanging out here. I'm not sure what that counts as.
