Hey, high-five. The more of us who discover themselves, the sooner we'll be able to coup the Sexuals and establish and eteranal sexless dystopia state!

Never has a more apt combination of words been uttered.

The stuff they’re wearing is African stuff, they wore that to honour George Floyd.

Itchy, sure. But is it tasty?

I approve this reference, like a master of unlocking.

Y'know that fun job I was talking about?

Shit flows downhill, man.

The more important a job is, the less prestige it comes with. And the more prestige a job has, the less important it is.
Why is this true? Why don’t the more important jobs constantly get more prestige?
Naeb’dy likes the scaffies, that’s why.

wait, guys, what happens when the steam version drops and we get flooded with new nonsense and memes?

what about us down here on the sane lower boards?


P:
All of the best-known memes from DF are outdated or about adamantine being a carnival attraction.  I wont sit by and watch a new generation of little beards be corrupted with antiquated slang!

You assume they won’t just use the Steam discussion boards for that kind of nonsense.

... has the Great Order Chaos been fixed? I clicked on a quote link to this message and it actually worked.

Wisconsin is trending upwards now in terms of positive cases too.

Can’t find numbers for hospitalizations on the state department of health website, but I haven’t looked very hard. I lied. There was apparently a high of 350 hospitalizations in the Southeast - Milwaukee was the hardest hit area, unsurprising - while it’s a touch lower than 200 just now. It was steady around 250 there from the middle to the end of May, then dropped until last week.

Hopefully this is a blip, and things continue either a downward trend or just steady out a bit.

I finished Persona 5. The ennui from finishing a good piece of entertainment is real :'(

Circling the wagons isn’t solely limited to the far-right though, as LW pointed out.

Whether that’s through acceptance of paedophilia, refusal to accept a member of your in-group is capable of such an act, or merely protecting the image of your identity, is a different discussion.

I believe "regular" pedophiles (who don't act on their desires) must be imprisoned for life so they don't molest chilren... while actual kiddy diddlers must have the same fate as any other rapists-- against a wall with a gun pointed at their head. I truly despise them both. However this must be carried out by the state.

How do you intend to find a paedophile that doesn’t act on their desires if they don’t present themselves by acting on their desires? Sounds like a system that will be rife with false accusations, allowing people deemed as undesirables to get removed merely from the suggestion.


Edit:

Pedophiles are a wild card. But, for a punishment to be applied, a crime must take place.
How about possession of child porn? That is usually pretty solid proof of pedophilia.

That’s acting on a desire, which you said wouldn’t happen.

What of situations in which two teenagers below the age of consent send each other pictures? By law, that is creation and possession of child porn, while it’s two people in a relationship engaging in consensual sharing. Both go to jail forever in your scenario.

I think that was his point, if I’m not mistaken.

wierd was saying conservatives are paedos, much more so than libs, and LW was saying libs can be just as much paedos as conservatives.

A corporation shareholder board is literally designed to have ever increasing profit. It is the explicit purpose of a corporation that has shareholders.
Please stop spreading this myth.  This not part of corporate law in the US.  I mean even Medium.com will tell you this is not true.  There is even at least one Supreme Court ruling that put the nail in the coffin.

What do people buy shares in a company for?

All I know about it is what I've seen here, so I'll not pretend to knowledge I don't have. If this is true -
Quote
Strictly speaking, all they do is declare that 'we in this here town/region do not take kindly to promoting the thing'.
- then it seems like they're simply not promoting its cultural aspects. That's massively different from restricting rights.

Yeah, they’re free to do that, but It’ll be more complicated than that in practice.

You remember when there was a surge in racist hate crimes after Brexit? While Brexit isn’t a racist thing, it was like lighting the blue touch paper for those that hold racist views that it was okay to act on them.

Like Il Palazzo said, folk in charge saying they’re not promoting LGBT ideology is tacit approval of homophobic attitudes, and that it’s okay to act on them. Bad juju ensues, for people who are lgbt and people who are suspected of being lgbt.
