I say still read them, just at an older age where you’re able to have real conversations about the broader context. Teach what parts are worth loving and what parts aren’t and how to tell the difference, because there’s going to be a lot of things like that in the world.

Things that are not happening-
This group telling people not to read her books.
Publishers not publishing her books.

It’s our history. Still out there. Just we’re no longer glorifying the bad bits and pretending they’re not that bad. Kind of like getting rid of Confederate monuments.

I get all that and agree. But if we’re actually biting into the premise of a perfect human, then we should be starting from scratch, and trying to get to a place where we have all the same capabilities but far fewer of the major flaws.

We’re not bound by the rules that evolution had to work within because of its…

Sure, but that doesn’t mean the brain needs to be up there too (which is what I was trying to get at).

How the hell do you design a ‘perfect’ human and keep things like shoulder joints and a head way up at the top of the body on a skinny neck?

Good link, thank you. I didn’t think it was her, but now I seriously doubt she’d be shitty enough to do what is said and try to cover it up with a support tweet.

No one’s trying to make her love her biological mom. However a criminal in jail for 18 years should not have contact with their victim, no matter what the victim wants, and the victim needs time to heal without possible undue influence from her kidnapper.

No one’s expecting the girl to instantly integrate into her birth mother’s family. However continued contact with her kidnapper isn’t helping her, and is probably hindering her.

Their entire relationship is premised on a criminal act and years long cover up. Allowing the victim to perpetuate a relationship and…

Are you kidding? Whenever I need a lesson in morals my first stop is an old Catholic dude with multiple divorces. They’re such good people.

I get this whole ‘low level bard deciding to enter an arch criminal’s lair and just use his Bluff skill to get what’s needed’ vibe from this entire presidency.

As soon as he started talking about sin, I began wondering if the company had begun as some kind of Christianist propaganda tool and I just never knew, and that the name was a lot more literal than I’d thought.

I’m glad to know I’m wrong and this dude seems to be an outlier, but you’re not the only one who re-examined…

Since the traditions that led to the modern wedding cake predate Christianity, he can literally go to hell. Also the modern wedding cake didn’t become a thing until the 1700s. So they’re late to the party in every way possible.

Back in the days of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark my friends and I used to love playing either 2v2 or 4vAI. I remember one night we were doing a lot of some match where you had to defend a thingy, so one person would sit in a small room with it while the others would run around. We even had a password even though we were…

For a moment I began to panic because I thought that meant Stacey Dash might be asked to appear, then I remembered she was in Clueless, not Legally Blonde.

I’m ok. It’s ok. Let’s do this.

You make a good point. We never did find out who Linc’s adult supervision was supposed to be.

It’s like no one ever told him how bad an idea it is to try and turf out your own party’s incumbent senator unless the entire party is knocking down your door to do so.

His reaction is the political equivalent of walking into the wrong restroom. Poor stunned little bird that he is.

Because he is. When the photos aren’t staged so the camera positions make him look taller it is abundantly clear he’s nowhere near as tall as claimed, and the fact he wears ill fitting clothes since he got fat is well known.

Well said, you echo my feelings on the topic. A close friend’s suicide at the end of my first year of college destroyed me. It took years to recover (and some days I feel like I haven’t), and I can’t find my way to accepting a book or show about suicide that doesn’t realistically portray the aftermath or realities of…

What I’m really looking forward to seeing is what people will do with it once it is Windows compatible (if it isn’t already). More than just games, software engineers will be able to use it for a huge variety of adaptive features for regular software.

As a gamer who is getting older and despairing of how my hands ache holding a standard controller, I’m already thinking of how I might make use of this.
