60 sec Frieren clip that exemplifies the point:

If I recall correctly, they were lobbying for it to be added at the OS level. So when some future regulation targets social media all the technical effort, cost, and liability would have been pushed off to someone else already. Facebook would just check the "is over 18" flag and not have to pay a cent.
bisexual women
Nothing you posted suggests that bisexual women are higher "disease carriers." The closest you got was higher rates of cancer, heart disease, obesity, and mental/emotional issues. With the exception of a few cancers, none of those are transmissable. Bisexual adults do have a higher risk, but it's because of bisexual man engaging in gay behaviors.
The logic of your post breaks after the first link.
here in the US
Your familiarity with charting policy and procedure in the US system does not contradict OP's description of the actual way they're being used in the Canadian system.
The reason there are elaborate hoops are to protect patients from all the perverse incentives. Canada gave up on that.
It's easy to criticize the medical leviathan when your healthy
His grandfather isn't healthy. His suffering is being exacerbated by a broken system. And you're defending a different medical leviathan than the one you've come to accept.

Okay. Let's talk about all the repeat offenders being let out on the street repeatedly with no punishment and no regard for public safety because they were Black.
subhuman
Starting to think that's not a specific enough description anymore. There are plenty of animals on the planet are "subhuman" but still more trustworthy and intelligent. You could probably integrate literal bears into society with more success and less violence.
I wonder if the name will end up in court before release. Majesco doesn't seem like it's in the best financial state. Wouldn't surprise me if they tried to squeeze out a few dollars in a settlement. Of course picking "Blood Rain" as the subtitle on a hack and slash game staring a shapely woman in shiny skin-tight material who carves things up with at least one arm blade was a decision Shift Up made.
Edit: Apparently they already unloaded their IP portfolio to Ziggurat Interactive. But the point stands.
Honestly, I think Megan's kind of cute in a commoner sort of way. The other two designs are awful.
The biggest red flag no one mentioned is the UI, "They think you're..." Couldn't even be bothered to even label any of these 3 as women.
"The main plot" is the important part of that. Those two used stuff like "this reminds of the time..." to get their random sketches in there while the normal plot was still going. The episode's main plot would still follow cause and effect without being disjointed.
If you took a Family Guy episode, let it establish the premise, then cut out everything that wasn't a flashback, it would have been hard to watch.
The charges weren't outright dropped, but it's floundering around in the same territory as the state charges.
The ruling does not mean that the case is done or that Brown will be released.
Brown will remain in custody in a mental health facility, where treatment efforts will be made to restore his competency for up to four months. There could also be another hearing if needed to determine whether forced medication is constitutional.
If those are successful, efforts to prosecute Brown can move forward. If his competency can’t be restored, it is possible he could remain in custody under civil commitment.
You know who I feel bad for? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmelo_Anthony

And what are people going to think of when they hear his name? This little piece of shit.
TLDR: Nerds and geeks are losers and cuckold simps because they allowed the same whores who bullied and belittled and ignored them in the past to become the “Queens” of nerd communities after becoming a “”“”“Geek”“”" (Read: Movie/Television/VideoGame consoomer) became mainstream and “muh popular”.
I don't know how far you want to go back, but the "nerd queen" thing has plenty of historical precedent. The thing that changed is that a woman used to have to take a hit to their social standing to take that position. A mid girl could choose to be popular in a local nerd circle but at the cost respect from popular girls. Which is basically the female equivalent of being a nerd. Being in the weirdo corner because you were kicked out or removed yourself from the dominant culture.
When nerd culture became profitable enough to be mainstreamed and there was no longer a personal social cost for a woman to be the "big fish in a little pond," is where it all really went to hell.
Any old nerd can tell you stories about that one 6/10 who hit their friend group like a meteor. There was always some element of that.
I'm not framing anything as worse. You said "the stats say otherwise." Then you provided a second statistic, which is true, but does not say otherwise.
That's it. That's all I'm correcting. You're fighting an imaginary enemy in this thread.
I think this assumption started as something reasonable and morphed into something that really isn't. Episodic TV works just as well now as it always did, but there's much much more competition for a potential viewers' time now than there was in the 90s. Making it more serialized is a viewer retention strategy.
Viewer watches a couple episodes of an episodic show. Comes back if they want more of the same.
Viewer watches a couple of episodes of a serialized show. If you managed to hook them with a mystery box or whatever they keep coming back to see what happens next.
Instead of every episode increasing the chance a viewer burns out, it increases the chance they become too invested to walk away.
Compare TNG vs. DS9. The Dominion war and ongoing politics provided a level of, "what's going to happen next week," that TNG never had with the exception of some specific multi-episode stories. After a focus on serial plot threads, I think really was a natural evolution. It's a tiny step from execs thinking of it as a retention bonus to thinking it's a retention requirement. Then, if the focus of your show becomes the serialized plot thread, the episodic content starts to get viewed as filler. It might be entertaining but it gets in the way of the next anticipated story beat. Take too long and the people who are only there to see what happens next give up. Trim that part down and it's obvious you don't need 24 eps to tell the story anymore.
tl;dr: It's not a question of age of the media. Or even the quality. It's the format. Continuing plot threads is a way to keep people invested in a crowded media landscape.
