The Road is so god damn depressing that the writing style was the least of my concerns while reading

You technically drink split pea soup, and that stuff is pretty good

If a sociopath checks all the boxes for ‘normal’ except for understanding that other people have their own thoughts and feelings, they’re still a sociopath.

Not saying their ex-wife is a sociopath, just saying that you usually need multiple litmus tests (colloquial) before you can determine a greater truth about someone.

There’s this concept called lathering, I think it’ll change the way you look at soap.

Reading comprehension of a dog.

Talking about regulation (and support for common sense gun laws that would also limit cops) ≠ support for all regulation. You and the people who upvoted you need to retake whatever class you learned English through.

However, I’m not French, it’s not the 90s, they’ve been married for 20 years now. By all accounts it’s been fulfilling and satisfying marriage…

I don’t think the first two points matter, but yes - if he’s happily married then there really isn’t anything to be done. How it started was wrong, and I do wonder what Macrons life would have been like had he not been manipulated by someone 24 years older than him. Not that it matters, what’s done is done.

CMP can’t do that in states like California or any of the other states with decent gun laws.

A 15 year old does not have the mental capacity to understand that they are being groomed. Grooming should be illegal, however it’s tied to the legal precedent set by age of consent laws.

I can’t believe I’m having this conversation, a 17 year old should not be in a relationship with a 41 year old.

Legal ≠ moral.

It has the obscure unbreakable locks with weird keys, the ammo boxes are accurate to the games, umbrella corporation is about what you’d expect, the main character isn’t a fucking super hero (come on, give them a few movies before throwing Redfield/Kennedy in there)… idk seems like a much more grounded adaptation.

I don’t think she raped him. She groomed him, 100%, but she likely didn’t rape him.

Grooming. Look it up. Grooming doesn’t immediately involve sex.

It’s fake

Every time I read something like this I’m a little more convinced that these people are actually trying to create Roko’s Basilisk.

It could just be that I can’t separate her from the ugliness of her character but, personally, I think she was ugly before and after.

Am I just stupid? They reference this study then go into the origins of life on earth and completely ignore mentioning the study again. What the fuck is this article?

Amazon offers education to their employees as well, it isn’t like they aren’t investing in their people - they just do it in a soul sucking manner.

I think it’s well past time we all stop treating oligarchs like they don’t have something to gain by supporting each other. 1 billion from Amazon dissuading people from believing data centers are bad for the people around them = more money for health care companies when those people inevitably get sick. Those companies likely use AWS, which means some of that money gets funneled back into Amazon.

I’m sure I’m simplifying how things will actually work but this doesn’t seem entirely outside the realm of possibility. Not to mention that 1B Amazon is spending is, essentially, investing in a disinformation/ propaganda machine - which has benefits down the line. Not to the people, of course.

😠

Lol no, I make fun of astrology with my girlfriend
