& by “harmed” you mean even be a participant, right?

And if humans can’t see something, and especially if they can’t name something, it’s really, really hard for humans to recognize that thing as actually existing, regardless of whether or not it exists.

Great. I got that email the other day... bastards, just more of a delay to get into my account. Just when the notice pops up on my phone I’m gonna have jump thru yet another hoop to see who’s at my door. JBFC. While I appreciate their desire to cover their butts, er, I mean, secure my account for me; this 2fa is just…

perhaps that’s a localization of the phrase where they grew up or how an adult in their life said it or simply how they mis-heard it as a child...

As with clothes & smells (mostly) ... no shoes are as good as no shoes.

I’ve long felt that abstinence is the only true perversion.

Or when passing thru, they don’t even bother to stamp it! I mean WTF people... I spent too much $ on this damn little book so that other countries could make note in it that I’ve entered & exited(?) your country...

Too bad that too many parents weren’t adequately parented themselves and have little to no idea of what it actually means/takes to be an adult; or that some just can’t be bothered.

idk. fuck him sideways with a bit rusty nail.

That’s funny because it’s not funny.

And in other news: Water is wet; night is dark; & fire is hot.

I’ve been saying for decades that we could eliminate 90% of the world’s population of humans & we wouldn’t lose much...Just have to make sure it’d be the right 90% tho. And the problem would be deciding who would get to decide who goes away?

When I visited... There was a small grocery store/Post Office, ice cream shop/christmas crap store, & a bar. Blink & you’d miss it kinda place.

AND given that it seems that “only” about 10% of new sex offense are committed by someone already on the list seems nearly pointless. (and yes, even one new offence by anyone is too many, but I wish we could just be better about assessing what really is an actually risk/threat vs something that just sounds like it…

IDK. I for one just can not wait until I can get a GOLD STAR on my driver’s license. It’ll make me feel like I’m 6-years-old again! Too bad I can’t get one in OR until JULY ffs... and the one I have is good for more than 3 more years yet.

Ultimately, there is a difference between being “lonely” and being “alone”. The first can be a problem; the second should never be.

Well, yes.. Ideally the DA would independently look at all the evidence the investigators were able to gather & all the witness they talked to & determine if it was all believable & sufficient to get a jury to convict.

Great, but can you get the filter to work the opposite way? -asking for a friend...

No, you’re thinking of the judge...

HA. 45 can not come up with that color scheme; if he had, it would be painted gold.. ALL of it. Nose to tail, landing gear to top of the tail, & wingtip to wingtip.
