  • Slut shaming rule

    Jump

  • Lad, women are tenser at first fucking's because, in theory, you're both getting used to each other and what most turns on the machinery of arousal. They tend to feel smoother, slicker, and downright hungrily pulling, when a woman is most aroused. You are self owning a tad bit to any one who knows how to lay a proper lovin'.

  • "The Newspaper of Record"

    Jump

  • The dictionary is...literally (hello self-evidence) full of words for which there has long existed an 'Objective Definition' but which usage has brought a consensus based 'Subjective Definition'. Etymology is the study of a shifting process, and both you and them are correct:

    Them in the expected usage a publication should use to apply it to a discreet entity, and you in the fact that the subjective shift in meaning gives us words that map anecdotally to our lives.

    Truly...language is awe-some.

  • The shooting death of a 16-year-old girl by police is among a spate that's upset Anchorage residents

  • You're missing the vital forest you started on by getting stuck defining trees it looks like, but I get it.

    Minorities are treated by a separate physical rubric by law enforcement and even the court of public opinion. The biases abound, yes. And those absolutely involve secondary physical characteristics, of which biologically speaking are...things that exist. Like skin color is one.

    I get what you're saying and while I don't know why other folks are uncomfortable with that, but if I clocked things right, your original point (paraphrased below) is damn right imo:

    Whether a 16 year old child is American Samoan, Black, Hispanic, or White, they are still a child, however large or mature the specific kid's genetics may have rolled them to appear. Further, it is fucked up for cops to default to feeling more threatened by the bigger/more developed ones, to have more bombastic reactions, as does tend to happen.

    This is reality for minorities; my large colored ass doesn't get away with certain behaviors even as the affronted party, unfairly as it is.

  • Obscure password requirements

    Jump

  • For everyone else, I feel like the developers are LARPING as security professionals to make their boring job making web pages for local businesses interesting.

    Wdym my 128 bit password enabled, passkey preferred, https domaines, encryption-within-box standards-meeting secure emailing webserver powered WordPress website for my little kid's school PTA organization isn't a viable attack vector? Of course not, you see the web firewall...

  • Seal of Approval

    Jump

  • In 1998, Baker, Ruoff, and Madoff that the organism is most likely a species of Mycoplasma called Mycoplasma phocacerebrale.[7] This Mycoplasma was isolated in an epidemic of seal disease occurring in the Baltic Sea.[8]

    It's not that we don't know what causes it, and it can be cultured from seals and has been. It's that in order to empirically and categorically say in any way that matters that the organism is definitely the cause of seal finger...

    You would need to be culturing a person infected with the disease from whom treatment is being withheld. Either against their will or with their "consent" wouldn't matter. As we know what the disease can lead to, the ethical course of treatment is clear: a bunch of culture ruining antibiotics injected into you. Right away, without delay.

    Because asking or even taking advantage of someone declining treatment to assess and write the confirmation study that says "Mycoplasma phocacerebrale definite cause of seal finger" goes against a lot of ethical science limitations.

    This is what makes the donating the affected limb of someone who never got care for science post-mortem also work as both a neat joke and ethical loophole. Researchers could accept that gift, ethically.

  • U.S. intelligence official: Russia will likely use propaganda to support Trump over Harris

    Jump

  • I wonder if any of the sycophants remaining to stare at the dangling keys to power like mesmerized toddlers would even retain the presence and ability to scheme.

    That's one long cultivated and pruned garden of shitbaggery with a history of rich men whose abilities extend to amassing stolen wealth and an inability to handle windows. How many Kingmakers could possibly remain?

    The whole house of cards may fall after time's dues are paid and Putin finally runs out of track to run away from his pedestrian mortality.

    Not willing to entertain bets on whether that will be the time of changes or more "and then it got worse" though.

  • Missouri Supreme Court blocks release of man whose conviction was overturned after more than 30 years in prison

    Jump

  • The solution seems simple. AG Bailey and Judge Hickle both need to be seen engaging in [illegal action they are innocent of] by a sane Missouri Justice System officer and an arrest warrant issued for them.

    Only death row inmates...it's not just that it's beyond the pale but it's so stupid while it's at it I can't summon words.

  • Brain listen, the taxes are important.

    Jump

  • Fuck. I cleaned everything on tax day and forgot to file!

  • Every Trad Wife Influencer is Completely Insane

    Jump

  • I see your points through the semantic fog. You had it at a problem of definitions and it doesn't appear to have gone away. One side defending personal intent and the other highlighting historic institutional malaise. Very little actually discussing, you both just happened to be making adjacent points in the same topic for the most part.

    They're right in their analysis of the mores and norms that the system allows, even if their claim of no good people existing under a broken system is absurd.

    You ain't in bad faith, it's more exhausting to get pinged by friendly IFF misreadings than extreme ideological opposites nowadays. That whole leftists eating leftists series of jokes applies somewhat.

  • 'Zionist-free zone': Israelis are increasingly unwanted at global tourism sites

    Jump

  • You can't read. Those are facts and written in a passive voice. Condoning the behavior reads something like: "The state of Israel has sown seeds of ill will nurtured by lies and here comes harvest time" or "Yeah fuckers, get dunked on world stage" or something similar and in-between.

  • What is the problem they're so pragmatically a part of? And how do you pin both the content creators needing to eat and the reasonable take of that commenter on the poor Marketing executives who care about neither but just want--actually what do they (end goal of marketing, literally, semantically) want, in your eyes while you're at it? It is their (the marketing execs) side I take it you're on, since the commenter you replied to is part of the problem and the creators do "an ad is an ad" things?

    Challenge; remember capitalism exists in the world as it must as the beginning of your answer (but if you can make it vanish and it all works out by the end of the answer, that's cool too as lots of us are looking for that one).

    How is that other commenter part of the problem, actually part of the problem suspect?

    Well, interesting thing to devote anecdotal brain power to, I'll tell you that.

  • You're like a rogue, misunderstood Guru on a journey of 'I know leave me alone, I was describing the meta-woes of seeming to carry a dearth of knowledge, not the lack itself'.

    Just pointing out from a passing ship; yeah, I see the semantic headaches and agree it's a silly maritime tradition.
