2024, the last free election the world would ever see…

You can’t call me an idiot because I can’t read Japanese-- wait.

Well, it’s even weirder because, if I understood what I read correctly, the Typhlosion was the only party that really could consent. It talked to the girl both in a shifted human form and in its real form. The girl I can only assume was underage because they kept calling her a girl. So the Typhlosion was the real creeper. Also this took place in some ancient era where the boundary between Pokemon and humans was blurred. It has Japanese youkai vibes for sure. I don’t know about the other stories, though, I only heard the Typhlosion one.

‘Scooz me, I jus’… there we go

Obviously they’ll be playing Space Station 14 which could use more players and servers.

I went to my doctor appointment. Task: completed.

I think it would’ve been fairly easy for readers at the time to say “the monster’s a murderer, that’s the story.” It’s easy for others to say the monster’s a victim and not responsible for his actions. We see the two points of view throughout this comments. The comparison to an incel is almost silly, though. “Man decides women are The Problem and becomes dangerous” is different from “Man is abandoned and feared by his only parent at birth, he has the impulse control of a small child (recall he was literally just born) and he has the body of a very large adult man.” He even does try to be good, but is angered by people dehumanizing him for his appearance. (Dehumanizing people based on things they have no control over: sound familiar?) But then there’s the important bit: this does not absolve his crimes! He is, in fact, a murderer. But the people who hated him also bear responsibility. Most of all his parent who did no rearing, teaching, or literally anything but screaming and running bears responsibility. Is he a killer? Yes! Is he a victim? Yes! Is Victor responsible for everything? Also, yes! The people who rejected him responsible? Less so, but yes!

I could be remembering wrongly, but wasn’t the creature described as being uncannily attractive? Like maybe not conventionally so, but in some indescribable and uncomfortable way?

cost millions of taxpayer dollars in wrongful death and civil rights lawsuits

Good to see our priorities are straight. Yeah, some lives were lost, BUT THE MONEY!

So you’ll invite the underrepresented, marginalized folks and share a loving community free from private property; everyone sharing everything freely? Of course we’d like them all to believe in Jesus, but we won’t hate them if they don’t or try to shove it on them either.

We are this close to entombing our presidents in a golden throne and worshipping them for millenia.

I have a vague memory of a spaceship. Maybe i was firing a laser? I remember it being hard at first, but I Got Gud, and as an adult people are impressed with my typing speed.

Which is wild as I know someone going for a masters in social work, but the conditions set by the school says that she can’t get below a B more than twice on anything. But sure, we need doctors, so let 'em all in!

Everyone knows for a joke to be funny, the delivery has to be cipher text.

Eh, it was already there. Lots of racist and eugenics ideas swirling around mew age beliefs.

I like these, but as a sometimes manically inquisitive folk I love the last one a lot.

Blames it on “psychos” but somehow doesn’t think that affordable (or y’know, free) mental health care is a priority. Every time this happens somehow the mentally ill get blamed. Turns out psychopaths can live indistinguishably from the rest of the public and supposedly well-adjusted “sane” people can commit mass shootings or justify genocides. Maybe instead of blaming a large, marginalized group, we can improve people’s conditions so maybe they won’t do this. For kids this may be actually doing something about bullying, providing mental health care, and hiring teachers that don’t not-so-secretely hate kids.

Love the imperial machine coopting Star Wars. They totally understood the media and are doing what Lucas would want with it.

To be fair, I have had some issues like my screen not displaying anything all of a sudden using Arch, but I think that was more NVIDIA’s fault. Adding a boot parameter ended up fixing that.
