I didn’t think I needed to say it (based on the rest of the comment), but I haven’t intentionally raped anybody either lol. I know, I’m a real hero and champion of the people for never raping anybody. Truly the Jesus of my time. It’s a high bar, yet I somehow clear it every day without even breaking a sweat.
I thought I was pretty clear about it when you said that you were against the idea of posts about people defending themselves against rapists.
Being against it can only really be viewed as an objection to consequences for rapists raping people.
I’m not saying that you’re currently defending rapists, but it sounds an awful lot like you would be on the rapists’ side since you wouldn’t stand up to a request to block content that suggests that a rape victim should defensively harm their rapist to stop their rape. If that’s your stance, then that’s defending a rapist. That would be advocating against consequences for rapists, and I’m assuming that only a rapist who wanted to continue getting away with it would order such a thing. Or maybe it’s on behalf of their rapist friends. The point is that people who don’t rape people shouldn’t have any problem with the idea that rapists should know that getting killed in their quest to commit a rape is a very real possibility, and most people wouldn’t even feel sorry for them for being killed while attempting rape.
If there’s a situation where we need to choose whether a person gets raped or the person attempting the rape gets killed in order to stop/prevent that rape, I don’t think there’s even anything to debate.
It’s no wonder women chose bears. jfc.
It’s not advocating for violence. It’s advocating for defending against rape. Without rape, which is obviously violent in and of itself, there’s no violence to speak of. The bottom line here is that, through deterrence, this sort of post yields a reduction in violence. Being against it can only really be viewed as an objection to consequences for rapists raping people.
If you got a ticket ordering you to cut off Lemmy over this, then it’s your duty to push back. An awful lot of terrible people were “just following orders” and the world doesn’t forgive that excuse. Stop defending rapists.
I see where you’re coming from, but no, just like how everybody was cool with Indiana Jones killing Nazis, we’re all pretty cool with rapists getting killed by their victims.
Don’t want to get killed by a rape victim? Then don’t rape them. Pretty simple stuff. I’m 36 next month I haven’t accidentally raped anybody even once, so I’m pretty sure you’re fine if you’re not actively trying to prey upon somebody.
Violence is the only language these people “joking” about “your body, my choice” can understand. If we make it clear that we will fucking kill them if they try to act on that “joke” then it may serve as a deterrent. Too many women are sexually assaulted and raped, and most of their predators get away with it.
Let’s all stop being so goddamn tolerant. I don’t care if it hurts a rapist’s feelings. If you have a problem with that stance, then I implore you to take a good hard look at what kind of person you are that you would side with a rapist against somebody who would defend themselves against their rapist. Maybe that makes you an accessory to rape, because at that point, you’re worse than complicit, you’re actively supporting rape.
I didn’t think it’d be such a hot take to say that rapists who get killed while attempting rape got what they had coming to them, but here we are.
Well boy howdy, it turns out we already been done doin that there part about criminalizing and incarcerating them black people just out of sheer racism. You’re telling me that there could’ve been a profit motive to it this whole time too?
jk, private contracted prisons were already profiting deeply off of that.
That can’t be right. Corn can’t be only 85% of our food.
But seriously, there’s so much goddamn corn. Our meat is fed corn. Our processed foods and drinks are pumped full of corn. Even our fucking cars eat corn. We’re up to our fucking ears in ears of corn.
Not so much weird, but it’s weird that it’s simultaneously hilarious and day-ruiningly depressing.
I saw a little bowl with small jewelry in it like charms and earrings. Among them was the right half of a heart that read “FRIENDS” and just below that was “EVER”. I’m 100% certain that there exists somewhere the left half of that heart that reads “BEST” and “FOR” with identical formatting, and that friendship either ended dramatically or fizzled out over time.
It made me think about some previous close friendships I’ve had and how people can either just grow apart or have a violent falling out. And I wondered who in their right mind would buy just half of that best friends forever charm. Why would a thrift shop even have that available?
Kinda fascinating that an entire coming of age story can be told by just half of a piece of jewelry I found at a thrift store, and I’ll never know the truth, yet I’ll never forget it.
To eat the flies.
Same, but for some reason my wife doesn’t like the look of high refresh rate in games for the exact reason I don’t like low refresh. I played Jedi Survivor on PS5 for a little bit and felt uneasy until I found a setting to switch it from quality to performance. I was getting very mild headache and nausea symptoms until switching that, especially when spinning the camera around quickly. Running it in higher framerate also made timing in gameplay much easier. The only drawback was that cutscenes broke immersion because they were still locked at 30fps.
I really wish that game devs would prioritize achieving 60fps above 4k resolution. This question is even assuming that 60fps is the lowest acceptable option, yet it’s still not a given even at 2k yet. EA released a game in 2023 that runs in 30fps by default. I enjoyed the game overall, but it ran like dog shit, crashed multiple times, and felt a little short/barren to me. I could excuse all of that if it were a smaller company or the first year of the console’s life, but neither of those were the case in any way.
Anyway, yeah 60fps should be the bare minimum, but it still sometimes isn’t, and it literally makes me sick.
Reduce carb portions and replace with larger veggie portions, and understand that corn and potatoes and other starch vegetables are just carbs (but it seems like you already know that). You may need larger protein portions in your meals to feel more full, and that’s fine if your choosing lean proteins, which it seems like you already are.
Don’t be afraid of having fat in your diet, just avoid overly greasy stuff like too much fried food.
Overall, you’ll probably be fine to do what you’re doing, but stop insisting on having a ton of bread. Just control your portions, limit bread, and be conscious of how much sugar you’re actually eating in a day because that shit is in pretty much everything. If you’re rarely eating out and rarely eating processed crap like TV dinners and rarely drinking calories and rarely reaching for sweets and snacks, then you’re gonna do great! It takes a shitload of jogging to undo even a modest treat. Having two double stuff oreos sets you back 140 calories, which will probably take you about a mile and a half to work off. If you ask me, oreos just ain’t fucking worth it lol.
Bathtub.
Filled with jolly ranchers.
Do we know for certain that Brandon isn’t II?
But I grew up and learned these things
How dare you learn and grow as a person over time through experiences. /s
Real talk though, good for you. “I was wrong” is never said by way too many people these days. Admitting to having been wrong is the first step to learning what’s right.
Sharply agreed. My wife and I both work a lot and don’t have kids or even any pets (yet) and it’s insane to think that there was a time just a short while ago that one person with a high school diploma could work 40 hour weeks and it would cover a mortgage, two cars, multiple kids, and still have money for savings and modest vacations. DINK couples in their 30s like us are finally catching up to the average 20 somethings with a few kids of 40 years ago.
Shit has changed. And as a result, I think that pro-choice should mean much more than just access to contraception and abortion. Pro-choice should mean that it’s possible to choose to have children too, as in childcare and diapers and everything shouldn’t be so prohibitively expensive that only the top 10% earners should have the flexibility for a pregnancy to be a blessing and not a life-shattering burden. If conservatives want babies to be born, they’re going about it all wrong.
You truly aren’t understanding why your position is nonsensical, and that’s hilarious to me.
In my example, if you were to disagree with the claim that bears aren’t living on the moon, then the only way to prove one way or the other is to show evidence that bears do live on the moon. That’s not my claim, so I’m not charged with finding evidence that bears live on the moon. If you want my proof that they don’t, my proof is that there is no evidence that bears do live on the moon. There’s no reason to believe that they do. That’s as far as a null can be proven. Just look at all the following evidence I’ve found in all my long searching for evidence of bears living on the moon:
…
Convinced?
For the actual argument here, the claim is that nobody criticize male politicians for not having children. You said prove that nobody has done that. Well, there’s no reporting of that criticism, so what, you want a link that goes to 404: page not found? To discredit that claim, you need to prove the negative; find a criticism of a male politician for not having children. If you can’t find it, then you haven’t refuted the claim.
How do you go about proving a lack of evidence? If I claim that there are no bears living on the moon, and you demand proof, how can I possibly provide sufficient proof of a lack of bears?
I’m pretty much always coming back to Rocket League with a couple of friends. We’re probably gonna get Space Marine 2 soon to play together too.
Paper Mario Thousand Year Door remake with my wife because she’s never seen it. We also started Dead Space. Right now our main obsession is passing the controller back and forth to play Dredge.
I also have a create a pro career I will play off and on in FC 24 and NHL 24 (both were included with PS+, don’t @ me lol).
Because of PS+, I’ll try a new game every few weeks. Some really keep my attention like Tunic and The Forgotten City did, and some get deleted almost immediately like Car Mechanic Simulator and Ride 5. I’m always trying something new.
Mexico is a nice time, and you can get good deals on all inclusive places. In general, Cancun is more about partying and Playa del Carmen is more about chilling and/or shopping. My wife and I have been to The Reef 28 in Playa del Carmen twice which is adults only and all inclusive with access to their sister resorts nearby and it was a great time. If you book through them directly you can get a bundle that includes flight and transportation to and from the Cancun airport, and they’ll work with you to get deals on snorkeling or whatever you wanna do. Just don’t pay for anything in the airport, they’re scams.
Most importantly, have the vacation that you want and have the time that you want. You can see the sights, do adventures, or loaf, and it’s your call what you want to do with your vacation.
I was unemployed for a while in late 2010, early 2011 and was constantly on the job search. I was a line cook previously and was looking for similar work. I finally got in at a sports bar, but they only had an opening for a host at the time, so I took it. When I went in on my third day, I found that the place had fucking burned down.
I was unemployed for another few months before finding a new job. That was a rough year or so lol.
