Screenshot of an X.com post by Spencer Althouse (@SpencerAlthouse) praising Bad Bunny for naming dozens of countries in the Americas and holding up a football reading βtogether we are America,β calling it an iconic Super Bowl performance. Below are two still images from the performance showing Bad Bunny in white clothing amid dancers and musicians holding flags and instruments.
Congratulations to Bad Bunny for his wonderful, love-filled tribute to the American continent!

I will insist on a cotton sheet between my hand and the cover, in this case, to protect the rare book from skin oils.
Swearing an oath with your hand on a book is a ritual that binds your oath to your belief that the words in that book are what you believe.
I would swear on a College Physics textbook.
Even a Mad Scientist believes in Science.
People talking about a lack of child friendly spaces...
How about some adult friendly spaces? The internet is 4 apps and you can't say fuck on any of them unless you follow it up with a minority group of your choosing.
Secondly, "Won't SOMEBODY think of the children!" is such blatant 'pearl-clutching' that it takes a complete moron to fall for it.
Either that or being secretly in favor of the censorship and loss of privacy being proposed.
First off, the last generation to actually "parent" their kids were the Silent Generation. They raised the Boomers, that made us Gen Xers come home to an empty house after school. Raising yourself as a Latchkey Kid doesn't teach you how to raise your OWN kids.

I'm a Gen Xer, I can say with certainty, that the kids are ALREADY more internet savvy than their parents.
This sucks and all, but I've been around long enough to have seen the rise and fall of AIM, Skype and countless others, Discord is no different. It can be replaced easily.

Possibly a mock "So where was all this when OUR girls were fussy babies at 2AM?"
The Obamas understand presentation even better than that my Hollywood actor who sat in the Oval Office. Probably because they understood real people, not just Hollywood fiction.
It was not my intention to insult the financially challenged. I was trying to satirize the claim that "poor people need AI to be creative." You can be creative without AI.

They also removed the "damage hitbox" on child models in Skyrim, so they couldn't be hurt in any way.)

In Skyrim, they made all children "essential."
I've NEVER seen kids at a Republican press conference.
Perhaps a short Stepford Person, but never a real kid.
GOP press conferences feel like playing Elder Scrolls games before Skyrim.
