The OP is lying about several things and taking other things out of context, which was their whole point in coming to Lemmy and ban evading twice when they got caught the first two times.

You could if you knew the OP was lying about several things and taking other things out of context, which was their whole point in coming to Lemmy and ban evading twice when they got caught the first two times.

As I explained, there is way more to it than just the perspective of someone you met today.

There are parts of my country where, even though adoption traditionally costs lots of money and effort, I think if you are a child's in-loco-parentis for six months, you can automatically officialize your status as their caregiver, all without the traditional hurdles.

Same.

That's another thing. Parents often think "can I do this" and almost never "does the child need this". Most people who are ill-suited to parent would still be better for many children than the situations they're already in.

I've always held the view that it is reckless if people do that accidentally.

The only people I know who can't do that are robots. Makes me think of that one scene from I Robot with Sonny saying "I can't make masterpieces like humans" while instantly scribbling a picture of a riot into existence.

Feed them gotcha questions. Treat it as a mental exercise.

Isn't that just neutrality?

Edit: Oh you meant "no innocents in enemy territory". No, that's not valid.

They had the very first interracial marriage in fiction back in the 1960's, I think they have the license to be at least a little woke.

With a name like Rage Against The Machine, it's on the tin.

You can always mention religion.

Cosplay.

There was an episode of The Good Doctor where two of Shaun's patients were teenagers who had a one night stand, and the doctors are arguing over the ethics of it, and Shaun has the last word when he mentioned it's legal in California for consenting teenagers to do it up if they were both teenagers and consented, and he shuts down the debate. This is bold and alarming for a TV show within California, but things get worse outside of California and especially outside the US where people can be more conservative. Some people poke the bear, but they were striking the bear with a frypan here with walking the lines that would get the show banned in places like Korea where the show's predecessor originated in the first place.

My Spanish teacher would teach us Spaniard Spanish and claim it was Mexican Spanish. One day I found out the hard way.

My purse. The kind you would believe is bigger on the inside.

You wake up outside the matrix.

The Simpson.

Back a few years ago, some Facebook-style rumors were spun to list reasons margarine is supposedly bad for you, including the idea that it's made of plastic (totally forgetting the fact we have the FDA), and now nobody in my family will buy it even though butter is worse for you (and less ethical).
