It would def have to be a discussion, but that would by default be sexual assault
- Comment on Female-to-male rape, (how) does it happen without roofies? 5 months ago:
A lot of aggression in this comments with this is literally no stupid questions.
Sexual assault comes in many forms and men are and can be victims of most of them. Coercion, violence, emotional manipulation, drugs or alcohol, the list is the same regardless of gender.
As for an erection, it’s a biological response so “wanting it” doesn’t correspond to desire/attraction/consent. Many women who are raped get “wet” and even orgasm, but that does not indicate pleasure or consent. It’s actually one of the reasons rape victims feel very guilty about the event. “If I didn’t want it/hated it/was scared, why did I cum?”

Bacon, eggs, hash browns, toast, coffee with $1 to spare.
- Comment on Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone? 6 months ago:
It’s about personal preference for sure. I tried to start using the “white” emojis and it just didn’t seem to matter. If I do use an emoji, I tend to default to the Simpsons yellow because it requires no extra effort. I don’t see a ton of people using the skin-tone emojis at all. I also have no issue with people using them much like pronouns in emails/profiles.
I’m also on iPhone so if I am going to extra mile I’ll just use my little sticker guy who better represents me in general.
- Comment on Venus Fly Traps 6 months ago:
Understanding it needed to do that is a bit of personification. The Venus fly trap that grew a slightly taller flower stem got pollinated more. That genetic mutation overtook the species as competition for pollination grew more difficult for the shorter flower stemmed. Evolution is cool an all, but let’s not confuse it for plants knowing or deciding to do anything.

This is an interesting mix of “horse people” who tend to have money and thus education and a really stupid person. Bravo.

I mean, you got a 2 year extended warranty and free delivery, both of which I’m sure Best Buy charges for.

It does leave ambiguity with it being an, apparent, quote/dialogue. Correct and Incorrect are both correct depending on your POV and how you interpret social media posts
- Comment on What do I need to trouble shoot second hand desktop computer? And how? 6 months ago:
Here are the steps I would take. Powering the device on each time it seems logical and see if anything has changed.
Check the power switch on the power supply. Make sure the power cable is seated into the power supply. Listen for any unusual noises when power supply is on Check RAM is properly seated Open the computer and look for any codes or lights on the mobo, Google it Check all of the power cables visible to me from opening the case. 8-pin at the top, 24-pin on the right side, any hard drives/ssds, cable for graphics card Inspect computer for any hot spots Unplug video cable from graphics card the into the one on the mobo, this only works with some newish AMD, but most Intel processors are going to have onboard graphics If nothing comes up and I can’t see any problems, you will have to start taking things out of the computer Start with removing the graphics card Check for any sort of damage to the power port and PCIe on the card and the slot Removing the card should allow better visibility of the mobo Remove the back panel (if you need to) to see if all of the power supply cables are properly seated Check any cable management in the back or any hard drives/ssd mounted back there After this, if nothing has changed and I don’t have any more info I would probably take apart completely, check for any kind of damage, put back together and test again with the bare minimum and adding stuff as I go. If you don’t know how to take apart or put a computer together I would follow a guide on YT.
After that you should def have an idea what isn’t working, if everything looks fine it can be the power supply If the power supply seems okay and mobo isn’t showing any kind of lights or code (or signs of life) that is your best candidate
As you add stuff it should give you the best indication and if you are unsure, post another edit

Ancient Egypt was Ancient to Cleopatra and Mark Anthony. They both lived closer in time to us than they did the building of the pyramids.

Still hoping she will cover the official closing of Evermore
- Comment on The way my daughter's middle school health class classifies drugs is insane. 7 months ago:
I’m glad to hear you are off the opioid train. Have lost family members to it and my father is currently been on them for years. I tried to get him on the THC train, he even has a medical card, but he claims to not like the effects. I live in a recently legal state so I’m waiting until I can show him a store with a wide variety to try. I know there is some strain that will help with his pain and suffering without the effects he didn’t like.

The “gateway” drug thing was taught to me through DARE in the 90s. But has been confirmed propoganda for decades. Calling Cannabis (marijuana is not the proper name) a “gateway” drug is like saying water or air are “gateway” drugs. Sure, a crack head has probably smoked weed, but that isn’t what got them into crack.
I would guess that these materials are, either, very old or they categorize cannabis differently because it is so common. It doesn’t help that it is illegal in half the country and legal in the other half. So any state with cannabis not, at least, decriminalized will still have the talking points for the 1930s.

- Comment on How did we get humans on the moon in 1969 and are still struggling to get the Starship rocket to launch properly? 7 months ago:
Safety, scope of mission, budget
The first moon missions were extremely risky. Many people died during development and/or during those missions. As NASA evolved, they reprioritized safety and that changed the demands of the vehicle.
The scope of the missions are also different. The first moon missions were, mostly, about just getting there. Taking moon samples back and doing science experiments were limited. The mission now is for a larger group of people to stay on the moon for week/weeks.
Budget has been a huge issue since the 80s. Once the allure of new and exciting space things died down after the first landing on the moon, public perception and federal budgets got moved to other things. The reason NASA is using the SpaceX rocket isn’t because they couldn’t make something better. But SpaceX has done a lot of the development on their own dime. Getting a moon-worthy rocket without an additional decade of funding and research ensures reasonable timeframes for the new moon missions.
