They don’t seem like they’re the types that are savvy enough to feel like it’s a problem.

Basically. Our Overton window is fucked thanks to the Nazis in power. Both current and historical.

None of those are up for reelection next time. I’m sure that wasn’t calculated by Schumer.

At the risk of lumping myself in with bullies (I don’t leave the house enough to be one or the victim of one), there’s space between here and there. We can be sympathetic that a bully is being abused at home or some other form of unhappiness causing a behavior while also condemning it. Like stopping someone looking at their phone from walking into the street. Pull them out and also yell at them for being a moron.

Some number can, with sympathy in addition to condemnation, change their behavior. The ones that don’t were given a chance and they can eat the consequences of being a cunt.

You know that large groups can pursue more than one thing at a time right?

I was with you to the last paragraph. While dentistry does have a high suicide rate from what I remember, you’re making a lot of assumptions about a person whom we only know that their parents are rich and they did well in school.

But if you want to have sex with them, RFK says that girls start puberty at nine so that should be the line.

That’s what they said.

Nussy is the one that made me throw up a bit.

She’s a rabid dog pointed a useful direction for once. Let her go to work, just don’t turn your back on her.

Oh blob I can still hear it without looking it up. That’s gonna be in my head for a while.

This is a good moment to also ask “do I want to understand the core concept?”.

This is a moment where I’m good with ignorance.

I didn’t actually know it was or wasn’t Crawford, just that such a terrible ruling is very much his brand.

And this is why my group is ok saying “that rule is profoundly dumb” and ignoring it while suspecting Crawford of being involved.

Well, without the files I’m going to assume worst case. Normal prostitution doesn’t need to go to a remote island that also has sex trafficked children.

The point is that, despite being in the same bill, they shouldn’t be. One is already covered in existing law, related to adult exclusive activities recognized as such the world over (porn for clarity). The other is defining a new phenomenon that has yet to be defined as being exclusive to adults and currently exists within spaces for children to the point of predation and is akin to existing child targeted products (loot boxes again for clarity).

Lumping even seemingly similar things is a bad practice that is more meant to poison pill bills (among other things) than actually execute legislative duties.

Would you recognize if someone made a block diagram of your brain?

I think you meant century.
