She/her. I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing. New to the Fediverse, literally just picked the instance that seemed the most frictionless. Progressive new urbanist vegan in New England.
Even with the automatically generated transcript to get you started, the amount of work already involved in reviewing this transcript is astronomical, and the addition of Wikipedia article links would make an already valuable resource even morevaluables. Thank you so much for putting this together.
Gambling, like a lot of other things, is a high dopamine reward behavior which can be fun recreationally but also lead to serious addictions. Prohibition-only approaches to things like this tend to just lead to it becoming a widespread source of funds for organized crime, and so I tend to favor a public health perspective which involves legalization with heavy regulation and taxation + behavioral health support as a part of a robust safety net.
That having been said, this to me is a strong indication that there are some things it should not be legal to bet on.
But also I’m also pretty sure that this is illegal under the Commodities Exchange Act already? So this feels like either a loophole in emphatic need of closing, or, more likely, the law just no longer fucking mattering under this administration because too many of the enforcers are corrupt.
We already have plenty of laws and procedures that could rid us of that man, it’s just that no one with the power to use them is fucking doing anything.

Fun little game! I’d say up through the first forty levels or so, it’s easy but not effortless, very relaxing. Around the forties it starts to require more active thought and effort, and becomes more challenging. Both are appealing in their own way. As a game strongly reliant on color matching, this game isn’t going to work well for you if you have limited color vision, but otherwise it’s pretty accessible to all players and runs smoothly. If this sounds like your thing, give it a whirl!
The case has gripped South Korea, where abortions are not regulated properly. The procedure was decriminalised in 2019, there is no clear regulation on how far into pregnancy it can be carried out.
I cannot imagine a single reasonable person arguing that there is any legal right to kill an already born baby as a part of any abortion policy.
A huge fundamental principle of the pro-choice movement is about bodily autonomy and your right to decide that you will not use your body to incubate a fetus to maturity at this time, for any reason. The idea is that you have the right to remove a fetus from your body using reasonable methods, and if hasn’t matured into a viable baby that can survive outside of your uterus by that point, then it is an abortion.
There are a whole lot of arguments to be had within this realm. What does ‘reasonable’ look like in different cases? At what point is the fetus enough of a person for its rights to be considered, and how does that weigh against the pregnant person’s right to decline consent to using their organs to provide life support to another person? If a pregnancy is near the point of viability and there is no threat to the pregnant person, how long is it reasonable to expect them to wait to bring the fetus to the point of being a viable baby instead of aborting? Even among people who hold a consensus on the right to an abortion, there is some debate.
But I have never once encountered a single person who has argued that abortion law applies after the baby is already fucking born.
This is not a legal gray area.
Wishing you well.
Okay but is no one going to take a moment to ask about this person and someone he knows both doing self drilled dental work though? Is this some “yeah dental care in the US sucks even more than you think” thing or??
I am a big believer in regulation, and some governments right now are in a position where they can be pressured to take anti-monopoly action against Amazon, which I want very much to see. Being in the U.S. as I am right now, though… There are some state governments I would like to see act (and shout-out to California for doing so here), but I am also brainstorming other nonviolent disruptive action which could be taken, because the federal government right now is actual fascists and Amazon is in league with them.

I was looking over instances sorted by uptime, saw one that had high uptime, a lot of users, and a literal promise that shit will just work in its name. I did a bit of scoping to see that it was easy to view communities across all instances from SJW and figured, fuck it, seems like as good a choice as any.
What a beautiful companion he was. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I think it depends, but considering pure practicality, horses tend to require a fair amount of pasture and food that an electric “horse” wouldn’t. You can’t just leave a horse in a garage for a few months.
My first reaction: LOL. LMAO, even.
My second reaction: … Wait, this could actually be really useful if it’s actually functional and affordable though.
I’m not holding my breath, but like, in theory this could actually be really good?
Frustrating, but I appreciate your answer; thank you.

I have often wondered whether targeted internet boycott days would shake up AWS, but I don’t know enough about their billing structure to run the numbers to see how much that would dig into AWS profits + how much of their income is flat subscription fees vs. billing on number of calls and haven’t had a chance to dig into it yet.
Don’t forget the slave labor!
