But isn’t that what we’re sposed to wrangle with in episodes where ai duplicates suffer or are punished independently of their human counterparts? I thought we’re sposed to consider the implications of a conscious sentience that experiences self-awareness, emotion, and pain like we do.. but don’t physically exist the…

We identified him as the love child of Matt Damon and Phillip Seymour Hoffman..

Nice try, Nick.

That’s silly. Your political beliefs aren’t like your taste in music or your fashion sense. They reflect how you view the world, your priorities, and morality. I don’t understand people so spineless about their beliefs that they argue there should be no repercussions for believing in and supporting certain things. Or…

I’m sorry to hear about your ptsd :( I just wanted to say, it was comforting to hear for the first time someone who experiences the same thing as me re: startle reflex. Couple years ago I was attacked on the street and while I got super lucky, fought him off, and rarely think of it, when people stealth up behind me my…

Right?! Holy fuck. “...shescurrentlyalive BUT THAT SUCKED FOR US OH MY GOD PITY US”

thats exactly what they did. im embarrassed to admit this show is my guilty pleasure, as i grew up on archie comics, but iirc thats what happened. thats why i dont get the bitching. paraphrasing, veronica is all, “we’ll shock them, play along” and kisses betty, and another chick is like, “fake lesbianism is lame and…

Both come across as kind of shitty to me. Pussy cos i guess youre objectifying a human down to genitals to use as you want? And the other cos, setting aside the fact that a “girl” is a child, so youre either a pedo or infantalising grown women, i guess it just comes across as really disrespectful? Both phrases are…

How do you not see an issue when your dichotomy is “straight young men” and “sluts”? Are you actually that daft or just trollin up a storm? At least you reigned yourself in from your original draft: “fine young gentlemen” and “dirty shameful whores”.

1. this article is about the absolutely fucking insane fact that two people who didn’t do their best at an award show have to have fucking security protect them from crazy people and the fallout.

“she knew that being a woman, she’d be blamed for it even though she wasn’t the one who messed up”

i mean, i see a thread full of people who take issue with medical malpractise but think we should steer clear of calling women who feel uncomfortable during giving fucking birth (a highly unpleasant and literally life-threatening experience) rape victims. maybe (heres a crazy thought) we’re expressing an opinion not…

no one’s saying just take it. maybe just don’t appropriate the vocabulary of victims to describe poor medical practise. we should be able to contest malpractise when we see/encounter it while also accepting that childbirth is a huge fucking deal and some parts of it are going to suck. if it sucks in a “hurt my…

or maybe it helps us keep a level head about the situation at hand. people fucking die having babies. many women the world over still fucking die having babies. no one should be neglected or abused while giving birth. but trying to lump yourself and your indelicate birth experience in with a woman dying in Chad cos…

hey, i got to meet the super hot med student who was gonna watch them remove of uterine polyp from my unkempt junk just moments before i got put under... so can i categorize my lack of consent to sexy med students watching as some kind of sexual assault? no? i was just receiving valuable medical care and should chalk…

she doesnt deserve to be treated badly. but that doesnt make it rape. doctors should do everything in their power to respect their patients and keep her up on everything thats going on.

because that is not what rape means? because its horrific, forcible mutilation? maybe medical malpractice? not rape. if i slash you with a knife? assault. not rape. if we agree im going to pull one of your teeth and i go ahead and pull four without your consent? fucked up and not ok, but not rape. no one should ever…

no, not at all. say i like hiking in the mountains and spent months reading up on hiking injuries and first aid. does that make me a doctor? does that mean when my leg is bent in half and im full of adrenaline and shock and horror, i’m the utmost authority on the way forward? chilling out long enough to say “actually,…

yea i actually had a double-take, “why am i on this site” cringe moment when i read that. when someone describes something you saw with your own eyes (several times over by now) and gets it so wrong, either cos they’re so biased they actually saw it as “spitting”, or because theyre disingenuously spinning it that way…

thank you. that jarred me, too. dude was classy and straightforward, especially given how much that would have sucked. its a super dick move for rich to jump on the la la land folks just cos he doesnt think the movie deserved to win. unnecessarily catty and lame, and disingenuous to boot.
