There is always a need for dumb labor. I may not be good at it… yet…

As an IBS sufferer, I’m here to tell you, it ain’t free.

And this is why the civil court system is just plain broken. Despite the astronomical cost of taking this upsurd stance in court, it is worth it. Thier needs to be damages assesed for the absurdity of the logic used to force something to cost more court time than it should get.

I disagree about that last part. There clearly are people winning today. They are a small %, but they also have an outsized influence. So they actively work against the change. And it is easier for them to be semi organized because there are many less of them to organize.

Wait untill they find out what AI does with their material…

I’ll bet a ways back there was an article about how 5 figure incomes weren’t what they used to be.

It is spreading for a reason though. There certainly is a difference between raping an 8 year old and a 16 year old. And medically it is defined as “sexual interest in prepubescent children.” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19327034/ People have started slinging the term even at guys dating 20 something year old women just because they are 50 or 60. In short, the term has been made into a dog whistle and used were it doesn’t apply because it carries more negative connotations than terms like statutory rape, sexual assualt of a minor, sex trafficking.

Frankly, I think the term has been cheapened by this misuse. Now when people here someone is a pedo, instead of immediate revulsion, they have to ask, “what kind of pedo”. It shouldn’t be that way. All of the phrases should be bad enough that we don’t need to exaggerate. So it is more the acceptance that statutory rape is ok that is the source of the problem.

That said, the motives for this talking head to say what she said are purely political. Her words aren’t worth spit.

And seems like the school officials who are mandatory reports, and didn’t report it could be charged to. I’m not 100% sure this falls under mandatory reporter laws, but feels like it might.

Anyone who claims people are horrible parents for downvoting thier opinion on reddit is… “probably” a horrible parent. Could just be having a bad day or something. But the odds lean pretty far over given the detailed opinions expressed.

I’m flabbergasted that the school wouldn’t let her call her parents. I don’t see how they have the right to do that without parental permission, not matter the reason why. But that supports violence. She tried what she was taught to do. The adults in the building failed. So she stood up for herself.

Would that be CSAM? Seems pretty serious if it was any 13 year old girl period.

S’about time. I am sick of 100 degree (F) days while living in Oregon… I can always put more clothes on, but only so much I can take off. /s

Probably simpler, you just want to keep track of what your customers prefer. That’s just good customer service.

Hot dang, I read a cbs news article and it didn’t mention that. I even went back to check. Isn’t cbs under new ownership or something?

Didn’t they already get the letters or something? But I would assume they pay for the month up front, so that is a great point.

I didn’t see anything about securing snap benefits or anything. Is that a side effect kind of thing?

In fairness, it was only 8 democrates. But yeah, I am not sure why the Republicans would give in in January if they wouldn’t now.

Schumer voted no. I’m looking for real reasons that won’t get me laughed out of the room for being uninformed.

Some year long funding for the VA, reversal of any federal job cuts from october 1st on. And blocking further job cuts for a little while. Nothing massive, but not small either. And it only ends the shut down for about 2.5 months. I still don’t like it, but I can’t argue that it is nothing either.
