removing individual freedom is never good

I generally agree that prohibition doesn’t work, and is bad, but having an absolutist position like this is usually problematic. For example we have to restrict some people’s freedoms. Like some people want to harm or kill others, that should not be a freedom people have.

Most things in life have a lot of nuance, which means we can’t usually make blanket rule for things.

In saying all that… Prohibition usually doesn’t solve the issue, sometimes makes it worse, and often ends up hurting people who are already suffering (usually why they resort to harmful substances)

Yeah sorry, meant family guy. Added a quote to hopefully clarify in future

Probes can do almost anything crew can do, and many things that crew cannot.

This take is a little ignorant. But I understand where you’re coming from.

Humans on mars could do almost all of the research that decades of landers and rovers have done in days. They’re also able to make more on the fly decision and pivot in research strategy, technique, and tools used.

The only thing human space flight seems to do is help us get better at human space flight.

In regards to this, a lot of technological advances that were founded or improved for the space programme have been highly beneficial it at least useful, on earth.

To add to all this, I don’t know the figures for modern day nasa research and programmes, but the apollo programme is estimated to have returned $13 to the US for every $1 spent on it.

family guy joked about her writing-anti-trans years before she went full terf.

When you add in the fact that they were referencing rapey winestein years before the me too revelations, that’s twice they’ve been subtly speaking truth to power before it became common knowledge.

Edit - Added quote for clarity

Don’t forget the last one in Qatar

I know the title explicitly says gay men, but then talks about Gay women and straight men as if the two sexualities are all that exist.

I’m sure the number, if you include bi, bi curious, pan etc. Is much higher than 5%.

I’m a mostly straight man (let’s say 2/3rds) and I’ve given more blowies than an ex female I was with for over a decade.

The “best” part is that none of these end up taking into account the fact we’ll cook ourselves/the planet from excess heat waste long before climate change can finish the job

And this was before ai started to speed up the job

"I’m sorry but that doesn’t fit the narrative I want to make. That’s why I just snipped a screenshot of a headline with from an unreliable source with no extra evidence.

Also why I posted “wants to ban x” without the proper context “because it’s ai keeps making child porn”"

This person if they were honest

I wouldn’t say Europe are overreacting. This particular post, “worse than nazi Germany”, yes, but atm they are being a bit too complicit in things like the US bombing and kidnapping the head of a foreign nation…

However the US isn’t literally building camps with the explicit purpose of mass murder and genocide. Don’t get me wrong, they’re still doing a lot of nazi and atrocious shit, but distinguishing the nuance is important.

Thank you, I’m saving this

I’m pretty sure this is a correlation !== causation situation.

I suspect the reason men are more likely to be killed by strangers than women is because men are more likely to get violent with strangers that women…

I think this implies he intentionally did it. Like a sort of temporal suicide… Which, IIRC, was not the plot for back to the future

I don’t know if cloony said it before, but a bunch of actors said they’d “leave the country” if Trump got elected, then didn’t. So it’s nice to see someone follow through

I’ve had this exact scenario on reddit, many years ago. I can’t remember the specifics but it was literally like this comic. “Without using the core part of this topic, you can’t explain how this topic works”

IIRC it was climate change (back when that was the hot button political issue) and something like “oh yeah, well without using man made CO2 emissions, explain the rise in CO2 and temperature, you can’t”, where their point was that it was “volcanoes”

I’m confused, was there any expectation it would that I missed? As far as I know half life is dead. They never even finished episode 3 of half life 2 from like two decades ago.

In early first trump presidency there was a very real and concerning centrist to nazi pipeline on YouTube

I haven’t read the book but in the video he reads excerpts from it and it sounds painful.

He could just be picking a couple of cases that are paticularly egregious, but still, if it’s emblomatic of the books prose, then it sounds like it’s very similar to the movie and not something I’d enjoy.

So said and done, if you enjoyed it, that’s dope, same for the movie. I don’t care how “bad” or “good” some form of media is claimed to be, as long as people enjoy it, that’s a good thing

I remember studying this (the illness, not the show) in psychology. Something like wernickes aphasisa? Or maybe brochas aphasisa?

Your brain fails to process like the left half of what it’s seeing, so they draw clocks only showing the left half with so the numbers there.

He basically disappeared because there was video of him abusing his wife who then divorced him. He is obviously a piece of shit from all of his “work”, but in case anyone thought it was all an act for the grift… He’s also a piece of shit irl.

I guess adding lead to it would change it.
