I thought it was obvious that I meant more threatened than usual.
It wasn't. If you wanted to make that obvious, use language that doesn't downplay the normal dangers of pregnancy, instead of implying they're not a life-threatening concern. Make it clear you're willing to force people to risk life and limb under common circumstances and punish them if they choose not to. It's seven kinds of frustrating to see the risks and dangers mothers take on to give birth downplayed, and it's something that's damnably rampant in a lot of places.

Still, while it's not something I agree with, for myriad reasons, I'm not going to try to stop someone from holding the belief that at some point a child's birth is worth more than a mother's health to the point coercion and the brutality of the carceral system becomes acceptable. I'd just really prefer folks bloody own that when it's the position they're staking.

And if it's not, well, try to be careful about how you're phrasing things when it comes to an issue this rough :-\

Like... you're basically saying they should be deadass legal with that, though? The mother's life is always threatened by pregnancy. Medical science has done a lot to mitigate that, but it's an inherently dangerous thing that even with what has been managed over the years pretty regularly kills, cripples, or otherwise permanently damages the mother.

Yeah, I had actually noticed that when I looked at it on my laptop instead of the tablet. Apparently this thing doesn't have Arial loaded as a font or... something.

in the avatar thread, it's called datamoshing

Also SCOTUS jurisdiction pretty much in its entirety, which should be... fun is not quite the right word, but something similar in intent.

But yeah, it's pretty fucked. Abortion, likely a great deal of the judicial system in its entirety but especially the supreme court, probably other stuff. Not surprisingly so, given the court in question, but... still.

Probably split atoms, I think. Stopping someone from setting off a nuke is pretty high up there on reasons to hurt someone...

It is Arial, right?
No, Arial looks like this.

As compared to the default. It's more horizontally squished.
No, Arial looks like this.
No, Arial looks like this.

That, uh. Looks identical? At least on my screen.

Minecraft's performance has pretty much always been fairly remarkably shite, at least as far as I can recall. It's always been a problem, to the point there's mods to try to help with it.

that game

that game

over a decade

at least three different operating systems

like five different computers

i could never get the damn thing to run

not once

It's not a white whale or anything, but damn if I'm ever going to try again. At some point you learn it's time to just give up :V

... y'know, it took me a minute to remember that bit of history.

Parasitic soda ticks is the kinda' wunderwaffen nonsense they'd get up to, though, innit...

i think nazi-adjacent bedbugs are just bedbugs, tho

1768
I mean, normal ticks don't work like that, sure. Who can say for fanta's ticks?

1769
fanta's tick is a horrifying thought, though

like, are the eggs carried in the fanta and they hatch inside you, or do you open it and a bunch of brightly colored ticks come rushing out, or what

how does the tick of fanta function

1770
they're the team rocket (major antagonist) equivalents of the game torchick is from, mostly

in that picture it's the ones wearing the orange hoodies or the blue bandannas
