I agree. As far as I am concerned FGM, procedures to “normalize” the genitals of intersex children, and male circumcision are all unacceptable for many reasons, one of which that is common to all 3 is the violation of bodily autonomy/lack of consent and the lack of medical necessity. I get that male circumcision…

actually it was. It says it above that circumcision was recommended to curb masturbation.

there is still the matter of consent and bodily autonomy, though. It may not be as severe, but it is still a violation of bodily autonomy

Acorns severely complicated my tax returns over a few cents invested abroad and their tax forms are nearly unreadable and impenetrable. Not worth it at all!

It’s better if you remember that her initial involvement with the Dothraki was as an unwilling bride/rape survivor and tool of her brother’s ambitions. She didn’t go into it with the intention of liberating anyone, it just sort of happened

or install the dosh khaleen as local rulers of the cities of slaver’s bay! Let them keep the queen’s peace!

yeah, it only shows who you’re replying to, not which specific comment you replied to. It makes it hard to follow a conversation.

Oh I thought you were discussing heirs to winterfell. Nevermind me!

Rickon Stark, the youngest, trueborn son of Ned Stark is still alive and still an heir. Technically Bran would be ahead of Rickon, but he’s too busy warging

“i’m sorry, we already had the funeral/burned the body”

he probably got kicked in the head by a horse. He was a stable boy after all! His idiot mother thought he’d make a better stable boy than a knight and we see how that turned out!

He won’t. He has a lot of kids and doesn’t bother to know them or give them original names. They’re disposable to him. Also Ramsey is pushing the narrative that his father was poisoned. Why not also Walda?

Rickon is still alive and in the care of a Stark-loyal family

I had to pay for web. There’s 0 cellular reception in my office so my phone is already killing it’s battery every day trying to find an maintain a connection. To save as much battery as I can, I listen on the web interface, which is beautiful and should have been what Google mimic’d, but there are still shortcomings,…

When the Japanese author wants to characterize someone as white or otherwise not Asian, they give them a foreign-sounding name (Edward Elrick, Eren Yeager), set their story outside of Japan (Jacuzzi Splot, who robs a train bound for Chicago in Baccano), or specifically mention their national origin (Joseph Joestar,…

So tired of people citing Naruto as proof that anime characters are frequently white. Cotton candy pink and crayola crayon blue are natural hair colors in his universe, so his yellow hair is not a marker of race. He is a ninja, living in a world loosely based on feudal japan complete with feudal lords and samurai, who…

She was a regular (Japanse) person before she got her prosthetic body, you know. Being cyberized didn’t remove her nationality. She still has a japanse name, lives in japan, and is employed by the japanese government. She’s pretty japanese.

Her name is Motoko Kusanagi and she lives in a future Japan and works for a fictional cyberwarfare division of the Japanese government. What do you think?

not hostile, just genuinely perplexed. I don’t get the need to have that level of specificity to your data and why ballpark isn’t sufficient
