Murder, assault, battery, racketeering, however they charge it when you rig sporting events for cash (might be more racketeering, idk), I'm getting sued for violating several multimillion dollar contracts and probably a couple wrongful deaths, all before halftime (which is when the murders kick into high gear)
Tetris is a hyperabstract policing simulator. The shapes are people, your job is to shove them into boxes and keep them in line. Too many get out of line and you lose. Some people are easy to fit in, like lines and squares, some go out of their way to be helpful like Ls and Ts and some people...well, some people are just always gonna be Zs facing the wrong direction.
he's a sad sack and she got a quarter million dollars for 2 minutes' work, 5 if you count how long it took to find it underneath his hamberder belly. this isn't a moral judgment, it's just about his utter grossness.
you know that the entire rest of the world is full of baby boys with foreskins and parents who clean them, right? is your argument really gonna be "it's inconvenient for parents to clean their kids so lets just cut off a part of their body"?
There's no dilemma at all. Every consenting person who wants cosmetic surgery should be allowed to have it, and no one who can't consent to cosmetic surgery should have it forced upon them.
Here's another question along the same lines - my friend when I was a kid developed gynecomastia, commonly known as "breast knots" when he was 14. They're completely harmless, but they made it look like he had boobs. Cute little A cups on this otherwise very boy-presenting person. For some reason, no one thought it was "against God's plan" or "mutilating his body" or "part of the gender agenda" when this 14 year old boy had a purely cosmetic double mastectomy. I wonder why no one batted an eye at a child receiving gender-affirming cosmetic surgery just because he wanted to in this particular case.
What vision? What do dems actually offer beyond "trump bad"? Don't get me wrong, Trump definitely Bad, but how many times do they expect this sort of brinkmanship to work? Even if we beat this Trump there will be another one along, and the people who openly tell us that they want to end democracy in America only have to win once.
who's hype for the state-industrial complex to track our every movement! surely this combined with a right wing political movement that is increasingly focused on punishing so-called enemies will never lead to a complete humanitarian disaster.
I worked for the sanders campaign in 2016 and 2020, I worked with a group called the restaurant opportunities center to help get paid sick days mandated in the city of pittsburgh and on an ongoing campaign to eliminate the tipped minimum wage in pennsylvania, I volunteer at a food bank and give people rides to the polls on election day. I don't owe you my credentials but there they are, out in the real world doing the real work to make things better for real people while you're throwing a tantrum online to punish the "moderates" because you're too cowardly to pick a fight with the people who have openly stated that they want to seize power so they can hurt you and me. "Did you tell anyone they were an asshole?" What the fuck sort of strategy for actually getting anything done is that. If being obnoxious, smug and morally superior was ever gonna work why hasn't it?
i'm pissed as fuck but my anger is irrelevant, this is a matter of my survival and your privileged attempt to "punish" the moderates is putting me in immediate danger.
As a member of one of the vulnerable groups targeted by those fascists I want to thank you for using my family's safety as a bargaining tool. We're happy to be sacrificed to your protest vote which will accomplish nothing.
there's no sensory input that can't be faked, simulation theory is undisprovable, the only thing you can prove is that a simulation as accurate and consistent as this would have to be is indistinguishable from a basis reality and therefore the question is irrelevant.
but for thought experiment purposes I like to think that simulating a computer must always require more processing power than the computer being simulated has, and therefore as we develop computing technology and proliferate computers the likelihood that it's all just an emulation layer on one big universe-computer diminishes rapidly.
if one shipment has 6 tons of coke in it the manufacturing and smuggling apparatus has to be huge. that's half a billion dollars on one roll of the dice. how many multi-ton shipments got through? at what point do we admit that drug prohibition has never prevented anyone who wanted drugs from getting them and just give up?
what plan does anyone have to make one of these other choices viable? bonus points if it doesn't involve trying to overhaul both the electorate and the electoral system in 9 months.
