There are many more dumb assholes than rapists. I believe people who do this just for fun, not for rape, do exist. It’s quite terrible anyway.

This is more difficult. Not everyone who’s pro-choice thinks an unborn child is not a child. The child/fetus thing is arbitrary and can be discussed forever. Pro-choice people agree that it shouldn’t limit rights of women in any case, though.

It might put California on the track to surviving Trump’s destruction and becoming a civilized country opposed to Putin, unlike other US states.

I think normalizing having more partners even in a stable relationship with one partner would make it much easier to actually talk to your partner and discuss it openly, because the percentage of partners that see it as something terribly wrong would be much lower and people wouldn’t feel like speaking about such things is risky. That would reduce the need for cheating, although it wouldn’t make it disappear (as it’s not the only cause, as someone’s correctly pointed out).

I thought the small one was a parasite - wanting the sugar. It would work as a joke with specific taxa.

That’s just not true. Open relationships do exist (I’ve seen several work out nicely) but the overall opinion on them in most cultures is they’re weird, doomed or plain wrong and evil. Unless it is normalized that sex is not something fatal, it’s ok among consenting adults, we won’t move to a really sexually tolerant society.

Infidelity is widespread, because it comes from human nature. Instead of vilifying it we should strive to find and normalize forms of relationships that allow for more liberty without the necessity of lying and cheating.

Ok, now try with hawkweed.

About 6 lbs.

It displays correctly for me.

Well, it doesn’t to me. Without them telling us we won’t know.

I’m talking about psychology, not history. Sociopathy is not considered an illness.

You explain it very well. However, I don’t think it’s necessarilly their opinion that Gaza deserves deleting.

How can they have time to consume media that talk about Gaza?

That’s not what she does. Being a bad person or even being a psychopath is not considered a mental illness.

You misspelled skirt.

I wouldn’t say boring, sounds more like terrifying.

It justifies it by precedens. Aster means star - astronauts have been called people travelling to stars for a long time, even though interstellar travel is not possible for us yet, so naming their means of transport Starship is not out of line. It just follows a kind of funny naming tradition.

Ok, I think I understand. You’re thinking of it as a mission with a result that is quite sure - death. I don’t think Greta thinks about it this way and even I don’t think about it this way. I see it as a mission with several possible outcomes, that is very dangerous amd can result in death, but it’s not the only way it can end. The fact we’re talking about it here is a good result already.

Why do you think you understand every person who does something like that? People are different, have different views, motivations and visions. Bravery does exist. There are people willing to risk their lives for their ideals without being selfish and proud about it. It’s not always main character syndrome just because you’re unable to imagine any other explanation. The world is more diverse than that.
