Fallout Boy took a crack at it

Let me preface with the fact that I know nothing about Git or GitHub. Could you just have one “project” and have the readme be links to your Codeberg/Forgejo/GitTea projects?

As an Albertan, I would say that there are some people in Alberta that want to be completely independent, some that want to be part of the US, and the majority thinks those people are crazy. Also Diagolon is kicking around, but they’re incredibly fringe and weird.

I can’t speak for Quebec, but I personally haven’t heard much about their separatist movement for a good while.

People have been mad about all that stuff too tho. Sen. Kelly included. Other bad stuff happening doesn’t make this not bad.

Markdown formatted that as a bullet point. You can avoid that by putting a backslash in front of the asterisk.

Typing this:

Will get this:

There weren’t no cheese curd purveyors in rural Alberty when I was growin’ up 😞. Sometimes ya gotta make due.

I didn’t think I had to be that explicit with the details. No. I was not intending to imply that. Honestly the topic of the comic is gross and I was trying not to acknowledge it too much. I was mostly just talking about the past/future bodily consent issue in general. Sorry I wasn’t more clear.

Edit: I had a different reply earlier where I was jerkish. Sorry. I shouldn’t comment whilst grouchy and sleepy. I re-read my earlier comment and, yeah, I can see how that came off that way.

I’m not talking about just sex here. There’s plenty of legally binding stuff you can’t withdraw from one you’ve agreed to them.

Well you should have been more clear on that. I also could have been more clear that I was talking about body autonomy (like the situation in the comic) and not legally binding contracts.

Past me can give consent for themselves, yeah. If I ever change my mind then so too does the status of the consent.

So, if the present version of the person in the comic gave consent, but the past version did not, then consent would not be given. Time travel or no, it is up to the individual.

(Edit: I was talking about broad consent here without taking into context the subject matter of the comic. I was trying to avoid that subject matter because it is gross, and hoisted myself by my own petard in the process. To be clear - The past version is under age and therefore cannot give consent in the depicted scenario.)

I don’t agree that they are the same person. Even though they’re two instances of one being. They’re two physically separate bits of mass with different opinions on the situation.

Pretty simple answer here: No.

Consent is based on the individual. Identical twins can’t give consent for each other, despite being genetically identical.

I’m an electronics guy. You wouldn’t believe how many fun little circuits never make it past a simulator 😞.

Don’t worry! If your ADHD mind is anything like mine you wouldn’t have finished the game anyway. Just 120 hours of non stop labour until you burn out and never touch the project again!

P.S. I am kidding. Issues like hyper focus with burnout are surmountable. Don’t be afraid to start stuff. ADHD creators unite!

There’s a Ray Bradbury story like this about the last human on Mars. He’s like 80 and gets into a fight with pre-recorded versions of his past self that he made to not be lonely. Hang on, I’ll get the name.

Edit: It was I, Mars (also called Night Call, Collect). I highly recommend the radio play/audio drama version.

A few years ago I found all the Ray Bradbury audio dramas I listened to on cassette available online, but I couldn’t find the exact site just now. Try this in the meantime (I am about to enter a movie theatre so I didn’t look too hard).

Edit: WAAAAAAAAY later, I found this archive. In this archive the story is called Night Call, Collect.

I love when scumbags freely out themselves.

Women being beautiful is just one of those free goods that we get in our reality.

Like, that is messed up. Are you saying that women are just things to look at? Because that’s what it sounds like, yo.

For one thing there is an issue of agency, or control over their own appearance. Dressing up to look and feel pretty FOR THEMSELVES is a completely different thing from having an external force dictate their apparel. Let’s be real, that “external force” is probably mostly a bunch of old dudes.

Another issue, and this is a big one, sports isn’t about ogling hot bods! They are there to play sports. Athletes, especially Olympic ones, put immense work into training so they can excel at their sport of choice. They do not put all that work in just to become “eye candy” or anything of the sort.

They don’t do this to dudes anywhere near as bad. Imagine if the NBA uniform was crop tops and skin tight briefs or something. That can be comfortable, but in front of an arena and the whole world? Different story.

What about the eggs? I doubt those were willingly gathered.

It’s from IT part 2. Bill Hader’s character is going to throw a rock at IT, but gets mesmerized by the Deadlights.

I think it means the B key is right beside the N key on qwerty keyboards.

Fair enough, there are a lot of obscure little guys in Sonic lore. It also depends massively if you’re into the games, the Archie comics, the IDW comics, or any of the animated shows. Did you know that the comics Amy Rose was introduced as an annoying child who was the president of the Sonic fan club?

Vector, Charmy, Espio, and Mighty showed up in a Sonic the Hedgehog movie tie-in comic. I think it came out before the second movie? It could follow them maybe.
