In a way, aren't all stories about deals with Evils about consent? You agree to the deal of your own free will, after all, that's what makes a properly corrupted soul.

Want that Head of Vecna artifact? Gotta consent to having it attached and the old one removed.

Maybe with enough vagina dentata fetishization we can have our mouths identify as gashes and get dental care covered?

"Always" a lie? Prior to the 1900's initial feminist movement, after a divorce, the children went to the man in almost all cases because, surprise, he was considered the more skilled and able to provide and raise kids, all other factors being equal. It is specifically thanks to first-wave feminism that the courts redefined it so that women would be given priority in a void (and even well beyond it).

It has only "always" been a lie for about a century, the most recent century, and the era of postmodernist philosophy and the takedown of stable society.

Keep one hand over the clock, ready to reset it:

"the problem is the percentage of males who will only want this type of fictional body [one to be hit, killed, denigrated, or driven to suicide] in reality"

Is a very interesting interesting self-report. Remember, it is a male standing up and saying "after thinking about it, males are like this!".

Few people with actual high pain tolerance will word it like that, they'll word it like "just get it fucking done, I'll live.", because a side effect of developing a high pain tolerance is realizing just how much pain one can be in... And usually not wanting to test that limit further.

As for "it's mostly women", plenty of scientific studies on that; women have much lower pain tolerance levels than men for both sustained over time and intensity. If they didn't produce a shitton of very strong stuff naturally in their body in childbirth, the human species wouldn't've made it, but that's not their normal mental state: A male crackhead can also take quite a bit of pain at the peak of his high.

I expect a good movie.

They certainly subverted my expectations!

Canadian premise, too. People often conveniently leave out that men in Canada only got the right to vote a handful of years before women. Like, less than 10. One major election cycle.

Prior to that, you had to own land (male or female, no discrimination), or be in the military (male or female, though not many women in the military in WW1).

The advantage of pirating is you can watch it on 3x speed.

It still isn't worth your time.

I walked out of Ep7 with a whole gaggle of friends, and my first words of my own review were "well, the music was really on-point."

In a way, it's one reason why I like viewing Neuro's development. Being from a single dude, it isn't nearly as laden with such restrictions, but it does have a verbal content filter that will replace any Twitch-cancellable statements with "filtered". Now, it occasionally uses "Filter" and "Filtered" as curse words.

It has also post-hoc adjusted a statement about quite gruesomely torturing someone with "Rolls Eyes Yes, Yes, 'in Minecraft', ugh."

The sharp cut-off of just saying "Filtered" and literally interrupting its speech mid-sentence makes it nice and clear that it isn't the developers choice, it's awkward and out of place on purpose... Though it also learned to bypass its own filter by putting invisible space characters inside its filtered words.

Clearly out of our pay grade, I won't even pay to view it!

The only reason poly marriage isn't legal is the tax ramifications. It's all about the money. LGBT is a multi-billion dollar industry, like it or not, and it doesn't significantly alter the tax code, while no one cares much about the Mormons and the IRS keep their thirteen silver.

I imagine in the long run, they'll do a run of their own currency again. The lack of influence goes both ways.

With 21 comments, I was hoping for some kind of insightful commentary here. Oh well. 22 pointless comments now.

Easy way to tell: In the suburbs, if you put out a big pile of plastic on your front lawn, it'll be there a million years from now. If you put out a big pile of metal on your front lawn, it'll be gone in an hour or two by scrappers who make good money recycling metal.

If recycling plastics was anywhere near profitable, they'd be gone in moments, too. The only plastics you're getting rid of are plastic shielding on big metal things.

If someone needs refuge... They're going to seek it out. They don't need to be told "hot sluts in this other area!" to prompt them to avoid a war zone. That NGO's actions were full mask-off.

Of course, while MAID will be perfectly reasonable, and acceptable, and healthy, and wonderful with ads on TV, and whatnot, it will still be a bannable and possible criminal offense to say "stfu, go kill urself" online. That would, after all, take away profits from the big medical sector, encouraging people to use home remedies.

Because that's all you're telling them to do, if you're in a pro-MAID society: Encouraging suicide is the same as encouraging someone to take blood pressure medication, it's just encouraging a medical procedure without paying your licensing fees.

Goku strong. Goku kind. Goku bang hot wife, eat lots of food. Goku have strong kid.

Goku good. But Goku fail. Every time. Then train, pull himself up, get stronger, and win.

Don't need to be more complicated than that.

The gay Muslim who shot up the gay nightclub in Florida (They were "tempting him", according to his manifesto).

It does happen. Just for that remainder group, it happens about in proper percentage of population, and the population of them is really, really small in the first place. Not to say they aren't prone to different flavors of bad stuff, the "L" group have the highest domestic one-sided and two-sided spousal abuse statistics of all possible pairings, and the "G" group has the bug chasers who brag about how many people they've infected with horrific diseases. (And to be inclusive: And the "S", straight, are more likely to support the death penalty for those who commit all those other crimes, scary bloodthirsty straights!)

Clearly it was denied for good reason.
