It’s all about property rights here. You can always just make more people, right?

There’s usually a four prong power connector on the top left corner of the motherboard. I always forget that one, nothing works without it plugged in too.

You aren’t imagining things. We take social cues from others. If you have friends who are weird, you will feel more free to be weird. If politicians have to hide their racism to work with someone above them, others will follow suit. If they don’t have to hide it… same.

Look, I’m a man, I’m not feeling insulted by this at all. If you are, maybe it’s time to ask why.

I have no problem being a man while also acknowledging that sexual assault by men is a problem that is big enough that it has created a “caution culture” where people teach their daughters to be vigilant and women will cross the street if someone is walking behind them to stay safe. It isn’t like this is overblown, studies vary but all agree it’s somewhere more than one in ten women are victims of sexual violence in their lifetime. That’s a non-dismissible statistic.

Sure sexual assault by women is a thing too, but men tend to handle it differently than women do. All we are doing here is acknowledging that in our culture “male stranger danger” is a thing that exists and is pervasive and strong enough that many women would be willing to risk the bear because at least it won’t rape them.

Why would you be taking that personally?

The fact that you think the point of this is your status and not someone else’s safety says so much.

Because the customer has become an entitled piece of shit and you don’t tell an abuser “you’re welcome.”

A lot of men are desperate to connect with other people and for validation.

The Bambu printers are also great “entry level” as they work so well with a lot of features right out of the box. They aren’t cheap though.

I dunno, sounds like a pretty deep cut.

Here’s a clearly intelligent woman and Spock has just told her to her face that her society has converted her into an object, and he did it in a way that everyone is going to interpret it in a way where they view him as sort of an effortless alpha for doing it while missing the point.

Legend.

Your asking if they are prudes about drugs in “Sin City?”

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

If your opinion is that kittens are cute, I’m on board. If your opinion is that everyone over 30 should be sterilized unless they are in a top 10 percent earning category, you’re going to have to work for respect for that, and better have a damn convincing argument.

There’s a route you take when you walk to the front door, there’s a hand you open it with, there’s a way you shift your weight as you open it. Yes, usually going to the pastry shop on the weekend can be a habit too, but there really are tons your never think about.

When someone calls your name, do you look or not? Fast or slow? When someone tells you their name do you repeat it to yourself in your head? Any of these things you do consistently without thinking are habits, and anything you do consistently through mental effort can be too, even if they aren’t automatic.

Will that’s not a very constructive comment, is it? I wonder if you wanted to try it you could actually add something meaningful to the conversation?

And when prices go up your equity goes up too instead of your monthly payment.

Under this philosophy he wouldn’t have to wait. Actions taken in the name of national security. Done.

Guys is always fine as it refers to followers of Guy Faulks and pretty much anyone has probably considered blowing up parliament at some point.

Time to delete my old accounts, I guess. Is there a bit that will go through and delete all posts and comments too? That would be helpful.

I’m not advocating he buy a printer, that’s clearly the wrong choice here, but

Getting it set up and calibrated takes ages

…just isn’t true anymore, depending on what you get; the bambulabs printers are basically effortless.

I’ve always thought we should use “plus” as in the + at the end of lgbt. It’s short, easy, all inclusive and has a built in positive association.
