Oh yeah, I never liked those.

Insidious

Virginia isn’t curved in on the bottom right like the chicken.

Virginia looks like a half baked cookie that is lopsided.

Vermont looks like a V!

Rivers clearly demark the boundary for anyone without GPS or other means of determining a precise location. Same as hills and mountain ranges, which are also common boundaries.

The fact that some rivers can wander and people tend to bold cities across rivers is a thing against them, but people build across any kind of boundary.

For a very long time US currency did not have a lot of effective anticountergeit measures compared to other countries, and there is a massive amount of US bills decades old still used for transactions. Even the sheer amount of bills being used makes it easier to slip in some counterfeit in an otherwise valid bundle of cash before the fact that it is easier to counterfeit older US bills.

A lot of it is momentum from that, and $100 bills being a great value to volume with lower security measures compared to other currencies. Especially if counterfeiting older US bills.

A luxury or high end store is going to be doing meticulous record keeping that would make it easy to find whoever used that rare bill.

A $20 or even $100 handed to a random clerk is likely to be mixed in with the others of the same denominations at the store.

The other thing is that if you have access to a store or business that normally pays cash you can use a bunch of counterfeit bills and keep the real cash. It isn’t only individuals making purchases at stores.

When used to further business interests it is prostitution, not being a hotwife.

There is no line, it is literal prostitution.

Women’s Studies so I can be paid to mansplain.

A blanket ‘bigoted artists’ rule is ripe for banning based on someone’s entire history, like firing James Gunn for bad jokes in old tweets.

Instead I would prefer to ban individual artists based on their art. So I fully support banning Jago comics because all the ones I remember are based on anti LGBTQ+ or sexist stereotypes. Not because they are bigoted, but because their content is. No idea who stonetoss is, but if their content is similar then I would also favor banning them.

No purity tests though.

Yes but it shouldn’t be done to infants because they did not and cannot consent.

I have already expressed 100% support of banning non-medically necessary circumcisions.

Me not wanting to be labeled as mutilated doesn’t invalidate your identification as mutilated.

If you consider yourself mutilated, then yes, you are mutilated. I am not mutilated because we see our personal experiences differently.

I know someone who is a hat trick.

A lot of credit goes to the cars and the engineers…

I dislike the ‘mutilated’ label being applied and take it as an insult because of the negative connotations despite not personally having any downsides. It is like claiming that everyone who is overweight based on BMI is unhealthy despite many athletes having a high BMI due to having a lot of muscle.

Plus the person I was responding to said adults who voluntarily chose to get circumcised are mutilated themselves. With that logic ear piercings and voluntarily removing annoying, but not medically probematic moles is mutilation. My point is that you can’t just ignore the negative connotations and use a broad brush to describe people while claiming it is technically accurate.

No, it should not be done to babies without a medical necessity. That doesn’t mean calling everyone who has been circumcised mutilated won’t come across as insulting.

Apparently they did!

The pair drove approximately 52 mph on the track before hitting the loop and experiencing seven Gs of force while going through the loop – at a height of six stories.

Foust, who entered the loop just after Tracy, said it was necessary to avoid driving too fast through the loop in order to prevent the car from breaking down if any part of the chassis scraped against the track. He slowed down a bit when he saw the back left of Tracy’s vehicle was damaged. If either car went slower than 48 mph, it risked losing contact with the track and falling to the ground.

As someone who was circumcised for the ‘medical hygiene’ reasons when it was more popular I am sick and tired of seeing all circumcision lumped together as mutilation. Sure it was probably unnecessary as I am not aware of having a condition that made it necessary in my case, but it was well done and everything has been positive for me. Those that get it done for medical reasons being called mutilation would be offensive.

It certainly should end as a practice, especially as a religious practice done by non-medically trained people, but stigmatizing people who had it done as being mutilated is insulting.

Edit: your downvotes won’t convince me that I am a victim of mutilation because doctors were wrong about the hygiene benefits five decades ago

The meme is referring to tech bros who equate text prompts to creating visual art. The person who put art on a rock is a digital artist showing that actual digital artists can still create art even without their digital tools.

For example, someone who does 3d modeling but never sculpted could could make something decent out of clay on the first try because they understand proportion.

Tech bro prompt engineers would not be able to apply their text prompts to other contexts.

Fourth option: Just limit the comics posted to those that are not transphobic/racist/sexist/other shitty discrimination thing.

The author might have shitty views and maybe they expressed them, but as far as the rules go it would be better to just moderate the posted content than whether or not the artist also has shitty stuff that may or may not be current and relevant. I would rather the posters be encouraged to not post content from terrible people, but if an artist was fine until they suddenly exposed a shitty view does all of their prior work retroactively become problematic? If they were terrible two decades ago are they permanently terrible?

It is complex enough that the posted content being moderated instead of the artist’s non-posted content is a better approach in my opinion. I am definitely in favor of comments explaining an artist has other shitty art too, because that is good to know and might influence how posted art is interpreted, but it doesn’t mean everything the artist made is tainted.
