I’m sorry but what was wrong with Zootopia? I thought that movie was quite excellent.

I will bet you a million bucks that Disney put a clause in there that Sora would not be able to generate Disney porn.

Literally not on of those scenarios you brought up would b solved by the question “When was your last period?” These are all edge cases and shit happens.

Also, possible liability is solved by thinking and consideration, not blindly asking pointless questions. It also doesn’t equate to “Legally required”. A woman comes in with a broken arm and you ask “When was your last period?”, she’s gonna be annoyed that you aren’t addressing the fucking broken arm. If you’re gonna give her pain killers or an X-ray, you tell her that they can be harmful to pregnancies and if she’s worried about that then do a preg test, otherwise treat her like a person not a walking incubation pod.

To be honest throwing out the Star wars extended universe stuff was a good call. Adopting that mess would have been completely impossible. All the original actors has aged out and replacing them with new actors would have been a big disaster.

But you are right in that they started a new trilogy without any idea where they were going with it. And that’s JJ Abrams all over. Him and his stupid mystery box where he invents something without having any idea what the end game for it is. He’s literally done this with every property he’s touched.

Doctors are not legally required to ask. And, barring any interventions from a supernatural being, a woman who has never had sex or hasn’t had sex in a long time cannot get pregnant. Also, women who had hysterectomies can’t get pregnant. Yet when these women tell doctors that there’s no chance they can be pregnant the doctor barrels on saying “yeah but when is your last period?” it is simply an insult to their intelligence and bodily autonomy. You have entirely too much faith in doctors and their “knowledge and integrity”. Doctors are human beings and they are just as fallible as everybody else. And continually asking questions that annoy your patients is not good bedside manner.

And though it’s true that a woman can be pregnant and not know it, they are also capable of understanding that they can’t possibly be pregnant. Because they I’ve been living with their own bodies longer than doctors have been asking them questions about them.

Here’s an idea. Before the doctor proceeds with whatever procedure they ask is there any chance you might be pregnant. Instead of the first words out of their mouth upon seeing the patient is a woman being “what is your time of the month?”

That’s the thing they are not asking about pregnancy status. They are asking when their last period was. These are two very different questions, one treats the woman as a person and the other treats her as a walking incubator that you have to check the dials on.

They are clearly in the pockets of Microsoft.

There’s plenty of documented cases of women giving birth unknown in a toilet.

Name one. This doesn’t fucking happen.

I stand corrected.

I think the point there is that you knew that there was a possibility and so asked for the test when presented with the option. For a lot of women the test isn’t an option even if they say “no, there’s no chance I’m pregnant.” the doctor will often persist in suggesting one or asking about their last period like they are fucking Sherlock Holmes tracking down the case of the missing fetus.

Here’s an idea, instead of asking the very clearly annoying to women question of “And when was your last period?” Maybe ask “Ok, before we start the examination, is there any possibility that you are pregnant?” And, ya know, treat women as human beings instead of like a walking incubator that you have to check the dials on.

Fetuses are not special. Millions die every year without anyone ever knowing they existed. They get flushed away with a late period cause the conditions weren’t quite right.

If a woman wants to lie and pretend they are not capable, that’s her business. House is an asshole.

If you read the actual article there’s barely any evidence that any of what they are claiming is even remotely true. They talk about vague connections through certain words being used on YouTube that are, in their own words, inconclusive. And a bunch of anecdotal instances on reddit in which mods use “vibes” to detect AI slop comments and posts. And then finish with more anecdotes about some real world encounters that they think are written by AI.

I mean, no doubt that AI garbage is filtering into online discourse because let’s face it, people are lazy assholes who want easy karma and updoots. But this is hardly evidence that actual conversational language is being altered by AI.

And now because of all of the media attention being generated he’s getting exactly what he wants. Millions and millions of views on his TikTok. He will likely be able to afford brand new glasses in less than a week.

Blaming Republicans is like blaming a wolf for eating a chicken. It’s in their nature, it’s what they do. So no, I’m going to blame the farmer for allowing the wolf into the chicken coop in the first place.

I 100% blame the Democratic party for this. They’ve been assisting the Republicans in their efforts to create this court for the last 40 years. Thomas should never have been confirmed to the court and Ruth Bader Ginsberg hung on at a time when she should have left while the “liberal” dems controlled both the presidency and the Senate and could easily have replaced her with a(n at least mostly) liberal justice.

And that board game is Settlers of Cataan.
