It's not surprising to see that female gamers tend to socialize in their own circles, bc of the attitude of the general gamer community to them.

Some sort of "pa-bortion" mechanism should exist, wherein the father surrenders an amount of money approximately equal to the market price of an abortion, and can then legally walk away.

If it's wrong to obligate a woman to support a child for nine months, then it's also wrong to obligate a man to support a child for eighteen years.

But I would argue that dragging a child through the desert for days without proper food/water like many of these parents do trying to reach the border does place a far greater burden of responsibility on them.

and i would argue that those who are prosecuting the people who leave food and water for them, and are destroying those supplies, bear the greatest burden of responsibility of all

When a jury reads a verdict, they specifically say not guilty, as opposed to innocent.

You do not have a burden to unequivocally prove innocence in the US, but you are exonerated under our justice system if there is not sufficient evidence to prove a crime. Which there clearly was not here.


he also said legally he cannot charge him due to DOJ policy and it's unfair to claim he should be charged if guilt can't be determined in a courtroom, but other avenues exist

i dont know how to interpret that other than "he should be impeached and his guilt determined via that trial"

not to defend this practice, but the bill would kill games like Path of Exile, which are dependent on having a casual mode of play for people playing through the game's story for free, and a more indepth mode (maps) at high levels that really is dependent on people buying the currency stash.

PoE is free to play, and generally not seen as exploitative. all its microtransactions other than the stash tab are totally not needed and largely cosmetic, but the currency stash tab is their #1 source of income

When I see "sexual assault" I usually think of things like groping and kissing. This guy had sex with a minor. I'd call that rape.

the conviction wasn't for sexual assault at all

looks like the issue is actually with the investigation. that part of his charges got dismissed.

Snelgrove's sentence was finalized last week. He will serve three years of probation after he pleaded guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a minor and misconduct in office. Charges of criminal sexual conduct with a minor and criminal solicitation of a minor, both felonies, were dismissed, according to court records.

why not just take funding away from the places we already spend money on healthcare

if we have medicare for all we don't need:

medicare
medicaid
VA care
tax deductions for health insurance
government employee healthcare (incl politicians)
CHIP
other state-level healthcare spending

negotiating with providers for 350 million people seems likely to yield a cheaper result per capita than separately negotiating for all those individual groups

Not in the context in question. If we have $100 to give to five people, sure. If one guy is suffering and the other four don't care, this is pretty petty justificstion.

but "caring" in political terms is a question of how to spend the federal budget. is there any other context that actually matters?

and about three of the five in question are suffering at comparable levels--rural america isn't even the area suffering worst; that honor goes to minority residents of cities.

i haven't pressed you on how you think rural communities feel about the suffering of black people in cities. should I?

The bigger lie is the idea that anything liberals do is driving the conservative push for total abortion bans; it's been explicitly stated by the AL bill author that her motivation is to be the one to force a new SCOTUS case on Roe v Wade. Same is true for the others. This is happening now because there's a clear conservative majority.

there isn't any point in reasoning with these people. there is no common ground. they don't care about babies once they're born. they don't care about programs that reduce unwanted pregnancies.
