I'm sorry--to "stay in the fight"? What fight? They were BOMBED.

How very white man of you to think you're worth more than the minimum effort.

Hey, Henry.

Fuck off.

Also, you could have been anything and you chose to be a fucking transphobe.

Awww you're so cute trying to sound smart.

Works beautifully for XKCD.

I always think about how Mt. Gox started out as a way to facilitate card trades in Magic the Gathering Online.

This is a load-bearing pillar in my friendships with people.

I'm sure another memoir is forthcoming

Oh buddy no. Don't fucking ask ChatGPT. Use your own moral boundaries. If you have any.

I don't know who paid for this writing but they were ripped off.

I'm not exactly one of the people mentioned--I don't have a rosy view of AI, either theoretical or real--but I think this is what I would say. An expert system that has a natural-language interface to do things that require expertise or back up/support those who have that expertise.

--that was cool, but what now?' and I tooled around the game for another thirty minutes then shut it down and almost literally never played it again. But I agree that it's too situational to be asked as a generalization. It entirely depends on the game that's being made.

My only real experience with the scenario Tom posits was... one of the Elder Scrolls games. Morrowind, I think? Where I did in fact attack the primary quest-giver at the start of the game, was warned that doing so would be irrevocable, and did it anyway. And then I kind of thought, 'okay--

lol, you're a fucking tankie who can't read.
What Troy said is that the NYT gave glowing coverage to both Lenin and Hitler. And they did! You can look up the headlines yourself if you want.

I know you don't, because just reading about how you talk about Stalin tells me you don't care about history.

I have literally said nothing about naturism, what are you even talking about?

You literally wrote 'You like to watch naked children frolic on the beach, don't you?'
You are SO bad at this. You are incoherent about everything except one thing: you think fucking teenagers should be borderline acceptable.

Boy, you sure are quick on the accusations aren't you?

Yeah man, that's kind of the point! The hypersexualization of Brooke Shields WAS in fact really fucking gross, looking back at it! That includes the Calvin Klein jeans ads and Blue Lagoon!

An image of a map of the Caribbean Sea, showing that it is nowhere near Texas.

I'm not sure why you want to MAKE it a difference legally, unless you want to fuck teenagers with less potential jail time. Do you?

I'm not sure why you're so insistent that raping the underaged has some sort of innate aging-up lessening of being gross.

For a man who says 'probably not' you seem very fixated on this idea. And they do! Which is why the law is administered by humans. But on the face of it? No, I don't think there's much difference between raping a toddler and raping a 17 year old, in terms of the laws written.

No, those are very different scenarios. This is why the law needs to be administered by humans, and isn't just a bunch of yes/no questions you can flowchart into a 'correct' answer. But I don't think the crimes are as dissimilar as you want to believe. Were you 'tricked' by a 17 yo with a fake id?

I believe in science. For psychiatry, sure, maybe the difference needs to be enumerated. Socially and legally, I don't think it does. And people arguing that one is 'worse' than the other also sound sus as fuck.

No, it's much simpler. They (and I) don't really give a flying fuck about the psychiatric differences. And people who DO look sus as fuck because it sounds like some sort of justification for fucking teenagers.

Well, you don't sound very fuckin' mature right now, so maybe you should check back with your therapist instead of taking out your shit on people here.

Like... I'm not particularly COMFORTABLE with the way public block and mute lists have been used since just about Day One(1) of bsky existing but...

No, I was specifically referring to you talking about someone being 'rude' without any evidence of doing so, when you've been told you were and are flat wrong about the Fairness Doctrine, what it did, and what it meant.

Hey, on the plus side, he's finally got a woman feeling SOMETHING for him other than disdain.

So that's what you're doing? Shooting the messenger?
