Isn’t Bernie literally Jewish?

Also used as a plot point in Altered Carbon

In the US that would be older than literally every marriage age because the drinking age in the US is 21.

This is not true. Oxidation is a broad type of chemical reaction involving the loss of electrons. Rust is a type of oxidation, much as a square is a type of rectangle. Oxidation can occur on the surface level (tarnishing of some metals, passivation of aluminum) or throughout (combustion). Rust actually only occurs on the surface as well, but the iron oxide is less dense than the metal and it increases the available area of the surface exposed to oxygen.

The Russians, who have famously never violently murdered their rulers and instituted a socialist form of government

I was trying to share a news article about the local police mishandling rape cases and there was literally no way I could phrase a description of it that wasn’t getting censored by social media. It was extremely disturbing to me that I would either have to explain it in extremely vague terms like you’d explain it to a child or just not share it at all. Meanwhile, actual fascist propaganda is being allowed on these platforms and staying up. It’s absurd.

That one pissed me off because the whole joke was him being blissfully unaware of the potential racial connotations of his dark black face makeup and everyone being like “Woah what the fuck man.” Like the joke wasn’t “Haha look at this caricature of black people” it was “Haha look at this dumbass doing something racist by mistake.”

She’s not in a coma, she’s brain dead. You can get out of a coma, but brain death is when brain function irreversibly stops. The rest of the body is being kept alive by machines but the brain is dead and can’t be revived. In most jurisdictions, this woman is legally dead. As for the pregnancy, I have read other articles that mention the baby will be severely impacted due to this, with several birth defects.

The woman is braindead, which is legally dead in most jurisdictions. Her body is being kept breathing by machines but legally she’s dead.

You obviously don’t know much about Missouri. St Louis may as well be a different state than the rest of Missouri when it comes to demographics. The city is about 42% white, while the state as a whole is 77% white, for example. The Black people living in Missouri largely don’t have white friends and family living in the countrysides they could have pleaded with to vote for Harris.

This community sucks but we far as I know none of these people suggested bombing a fertility clinic on it. Do they ban all Muslim subs after Islamic terror attacks or anti abortion subs when someone bombs an abortion clinic? I hate the direction Reddit moderation has taken because this kind of reactionary bullshit will probably just push these people onto telegram chats and discord channels where they actually will get radicalized instead of just whining about how they wished they had never been born.

Eh. I think it’s kind of crazy to call a 17 year old getting married “child marriage.” It’s not like something magic happens on the 18th birthday that makes someone a full adult. It should probably line up with the voting age but it’s obviously not the same thing as the states with no minimum age requirement at all. I’m a lot more concerned with the four states with no limit at all, and the fact that many states have only added minimum marriage ages at all in the past decade. I knew a girl in high school who got married to an adult who got her pregnant at 14 because that was legal with parental consent in my state back then. That’s the sort of thing that we should be focused on, not juicing the numbers with states having slightly different ages of consent

Big cities are pretty liberal everywhere. Memphis is one of the most liberal voting parts of the stage.

Just say kill instead of this dystopian Tik Tok bullshit. I refuse to use any service that won’t let me talk about the real world without using insane workarounds. It serves nobody’s best interests and is only an arms race of fear because people think McDonald’s would prefer to sell hamburgers next to the word unalive rather than dead or kill.

I can’t wait until ChatGPT starts inserting ads into its responses. “Wow that sounds really tough. You should learn to love yourself and not be so hard on yourself when you mess up. It’s a really good thing to treat yourself occasionally, such as with an ice cold Coca-Cola or maybe a large order of McDonald’s French fries!”

More importantly, stories allow us to explore morality and philosophy in safe hypotheticals. Faust allows us to inspect the thirst for power and the danger of being willing to do anything for it. Gilgamesh allowed our ancestors to wrestle with mortality and what it means to live a good life. Modern works like Altered Carbon explore generational wealth and the compounding effects of the ownership and control of capital. Even the term “republic” comes from a fictional story Plato wrote about his ideal society. I would say the interaction between fiction and philosophy is far more important than the interaction with technology. After all, the term very term “robot” comes from a play whose entire point was a critique of capitalism where the robots were a metaphor for the working class being exploited by the owners of capital.

Tbh it probably costs the theater that much, it’s just that wages haven’t matched inflation for decades and streaming just utterly destroys theaters on cost. New movies coming to theaters also just mostly suck. Why would anyone want to see Marvel slop formula #2,938 when it’s nearly identical to the 2937 ones that came out before it? Even non Marvel movies are essentially Marvel movies with the action/comedy/nothing too thought provoking or interesting formula to appeal to the max number of people as possible. I remember getting extremely mad to the point of wanting to leave the movie theater during the last Marvel movie I watched because they had a scene that was almost a serious, touching moment and just had to have a stupid fart joke immediately after because God forbid anyone experiences any kind of emotions in a movie.

Totally bestie roommates who live together and don’t go out with men and have a baby together
