Baking. Measuring isn't fun. I'd rather wing it.

No. Gives a bit more breathing room, so one thing probably won’t destroy me, but not enough to actually do anything with.

Don’t forget the tax exemption status.

Paying for sex is negotiated ahead of time. Always.

If I had some fun with a random dude, and he asked me for money after (without any discussion beforehand), I'd laugh in his face. Largely because, um what, but also because that's not my thing.

Yes, but I’m sure your gastroenterologist told you that carbonated drinks can exacerbate IBS issues, so probably not a good choice.

I respectfully disagree

this kind of reductionist summary of the very real conflict of priorities does not help the situation.

scientifically speaking, it's 100% accurate. Just because imaginary sky daddy tells some people that it's already a thinking, breathing, living person doesn't matter.

If being unborn really counted for nothing, we wouldn’t have any laws that restricted action based on long-term effect. (For example: laws to prevent climate change, to prevent cluster bombing, etc)

We don't really though. There are no real punishments for any of those actions, or anything to actually stop people from doing them. Yes, we do have laws saying you can go to jail if you do drugs while pregnant, BUT that's because there is an INTENTION to carry to term, and have an actual human happen, that will be great affected by those drinking/drug uses during pregnancy. If you are so early on that you can/are aborting, SCIENTIFICALLY it's a clump of cells, with no chance of being a human at that time.

The abortion debate is one of those uncommon instances where two conflicting rights meet.

yeah....... not really. If I'm forced to carry the parasite, I have the only say in what happens to it. I'm a living breathing already existing human being. The cells are not, and they cannot live outside of my body, so please take them out, and let them do their thing. Please let's see what happens.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that this decision isn’t a law of nature-- no more than “killing in self defense is allowed” is a law of nature; these are societal judgments.

nature is pretty indiscriminate in what it kills, but humans have added their own beliefs, which vary wildly from location to location. Regardless, the government and especially religion should have zero say. Abortion is a medical procedure, whether you, imaginary sky daddy, or some religious zealot thinks otherwise, and should be treated as such.

In fact, you probably believe this to a degree when it comes to “stand your ground” laws, as implementing in places like Florida or Texas.

Not related, so not really relevant to this topic, but generally, as far as I can tell, those laws are simply and excuse to kill for the sake of killing, and because the person already WANTED to.

It’s important to keep in mind that there is no objectively right or wrong answer; if there were, it wouldn’t be a conflict point.

Except scientifically, and objectively, there is a right answer. Certain people just don't like it, but it doesn't change the reality of it. That's like saying I don't like religion so no one can practice it. Doesn't work, does it?

It necessitates a dialog to convince people to agree with you, and dismissing the argument as foolish doesn’t do that, which means it will remain an “undecided” conflict point for longer than it needs to.

I'm pretty sure, based on historical data, and observation, we all know that a respectful discourse isn't going to happen, and if it did, it wouldn't sway the party in the wrong. Also, at this point, I do not believe there are any "undecided" people left. Either you follow reality and science, or imaginary sky daddy. Those seem to be the only two options left in US society. Other countries see the value, and necessity, and treat abortion as such, but we aren't one of those countries.

But, but think about the clump of cells!!

I don't think anyone that's being honest thought anything different was going to happen.

[-] AttackBunny@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago

Not only is attempted murder of a cop. It's on fucking video. There is literal undisputed (can't wait for the deep fake, or AI generated fake vid defenses incoming) proof he did it.

At this point, because I've seen the show, I'd have to go back and re-read all the books, to even start Winds of Winter. It's all so mashed together in my head, I don't remember the real story very well.

I've also accepted that he isn't even going to finish the books.

[-] AttackBunny@kbin.social 62 points 1 year ago

Um, maybe I'm an idiot, but isn't that called murder, or at least infanticide?

@techconsulnerd I agree!!! It's been a very, very slow process, but I have been seeing more women in motorsports, which is awesome. Even F1 has a new series F1 Academy, which is an all women series. I'm way too old, but if I was younger, I'd sure be trying to get in.

Work on/build racecars. Some of it's very technical, but probably not the type you're asking about. Also a woman. I'm checking off all the abnormal demographics here. Right?
