Was that really the issue? She felt pretty "souly" to me. I'm wondering if it's more voter turnout and people not being ready to vote for a woman (for whatever reason).

I mean was Biden really above and beyond Harris? He beat Trump, and Trump arguably has even less going for him this election.

If you had to say one of them won, who would you pick?

I don't disagree that there wasn't a ton of useful information in the debate, there was barely room for anyone to talk actual policy, but Harris came across as a rational human who at least pretended to care about others while Trump was a blabbering idiot.

In Australia cartoon child porn is enforced in the same way as actual child porn. Not that it answers your question but it's interesting.

I'd imagine for your question "it depends", some people who would have acted on their urges may get their jollies from AI child porn, others who have never considered being pedophiles might find the AI child porn (assuming legal) and realise it's something they were into.

I guess it may lower the production of real child porn which feels like a good thing. I'd hazard a guess that there are way more child porn viewers than child abusers.

I thought it was funny.

As far as supporting JKR goes: JKR is a horrible person who no-one should listen to but Harry Potter is pop culture. I'm pretty comfortable personally with disconnecting the two in my head. I don't think people enjoying Harry Potter should be seen as "supporting JKR", hell a lot of them wouldn't even be aware of JKRs noise.

Obviously I haven't read the comments here a ton but are people really supporting JKR or are you just treating people enjoying Harry Potter as support for JKR? I think there should be a distinction. It's not really people's job to deep dive into the personal lives of the creators or people involved in every piece of art they enjoy.

Are these people living in real dangerous areas or are they just convinced any unexpected car entering their driveway is out to murder them?

Second similar article in a short period, the other was a pizza delivery that went to the wrong address and got shot at.

I have a couple of dogs on an acreage roaming all day. One of the dumb shits still gets bored sometimes and tries to chew through an outdoor chair leg, or rips the hell out of her bed/food bowl.

I don't blame them for the cage thing with that in mind, but personally think it's cruel and the destruction is just part of dog ownership. I tag it as "I should have bought more things to keep her entertained".

I'm liking the "going back to when I was 6 with all the knowledge I have now" option, but in reality 6 year old me would probably be too immature to know I need to remember it and by the time I needed to use that information in any sane way it would have been long forgotten.

I mean some people are saying get bitcoin early days, but 6 year old me was at least 10 years off Bitcoin existing.

It would also really suck knowing how easy it was to obtain information in the future only to be stuck in the past and barely have access to the internet at all.

You think you aren't covering the other 90% of the retail price, if not more, in some other way by using that plan?
