It's the median but I live in expensive ass California and I'm looking at homes in the 200k-ish range, so cheap houses are out there.

Same. Remake was really good, more than good enough for a full price title.

Not only can they not easily source the chemicals, they can't get doctors and nurses to administer the shots, so lethal injections tend to be administered by cops who don't know what they're doing which is why the previous attempt to kill this inmate failed.

Legitimately one of the best of all time to yell over guitar chords, though.-

There was a time when I would have praised Stewart for getting out while the getting was good (ignoring his awful podcast), but it looks like he wants to go the way of Stephen Colbert instead. RIP in peace you god damn liberal.

sometimes I've heard stories of older people being told they'll be fired if they leave work (on time and not do forced overtime) to make it to their kid's recital or sports ball tourney

Not for nothing but I've spent literally my entire life watching family movies where the people who do that are absolutely miserable and the moral of the story is that you should prioritize your loved ones over your job. I think the people who grew up in previous generations and who wrote those stories were trying to tell us something.

I'm the one reviewing microfilm without a microfilm reader. My eyes are just that good.

The show is super liberal though. It's basically a liberal fantasy where if you have the right all-knowing rulers in charge they can totally make a capitalist society where there is no poverty or homelessness and everyone can live a cozy middle class life. The cutie marks are primarily used as a metaphor for puberty, but carry with them the very unfortunate implication that whatever you're good at as a teenager is what you're going to be stuck doing for the rest of your life, so you better hope that fate gives you a "spreadsheet manager" mark and not a "back breaking labourer" one.

~~Naw. It made sense in the moment with what we knew at the time - we live in a society that talks about socialism and communism now in part because a grumpy old man permanently associated the terms in the American psyche with objectively good things like Medicare for All, cracking a hundred years of red scare propaganda that socialism and communism were synonymous with totalitarianism and dictatorship.~~

~~Now unfortunately, all that stuff I'm talking about is in the superstructure, and it's not clear if the American base is capable of creating the conditions for a socialist uprising, but all we can do since none of us are Lenin is to keep banging our drums and keep latching onto every moment we can.~~

Actually never mind we gotta keep riding for Biden yee haw

It's a bit of an interesting legal question IMO. If it's illegal to perform bestiality, that clearly doesn't make it illegal to simulate it, you would need a separate law or clause to cover that. If it's illegal to record bestiality, same thing - simply having the code on your computer to animate characters fucking is not a recording, so if she doesn't have screen-captured footage she should be in the clear.

My IANAL opinion is that if the cops don't find video evidence (ie obscene pornography), and didn't catch her in the act of running the simulation (assuming that making such a simulation is also illegal), then they have no case. How can you prove that code on a computer was used for an illegal purpose if there's no evidence of the alleged illegal act being performed? Perhaps an "intent to ___" law could be invoked instead, but my gut tells me that there's no law making "intent to use SexLab" illegal.

(but of course this is reddit so I also assume this story is fake)

Only works if they look similar to you, since you have to be picturing the person's face as you write the name.

Not just her, I am also horrified. Putting words into a dead person's mouth with this technology should be illegal - you're seriously fucking around with their legacy for the rest of time.
