Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

I mean... Raping is fucking without consent. Kids cannot consent. I don't see any ambiguity here.
- Comment on NOT SEEKING MEDICAL ADVICE. Doctors can prescribe a whole host of "downers" like xanax, methadone, the whole benzo family. Is there any uppers they can prescribe? 1 week ago:
Interesting that no one mentioned antidepressants. They're more long term uppers, but I still would broadly put them in the "upper" category.

I had a CS6 license. Then suddenly it stopped working. And I can't reactivate it because they shut down the fucking activation servers.

That's essentially it. It's a general rule that adjectives ending in -c turn into either -che or -cque.

In Canada they're currently bulldozing a school because a school shooting happened there.
- Comment on Why is the world's "oldest profession" still illegal ? Instead of being better managed? 1 month ago:
A number of reasons:
-
For a number of people, they just could not fathom buying sex. Part of that is some kind of pseudoreligious idea, part of that is also that they just don't understand why you would want casual sex. These people often don't understand why in the hell you would want to be a prostitute or a John, and don't see why it shouldn't be illegal.
-
Another number of people see it as "losing". As in, you would only ever want to buy sex if you've failed to get it some other way. Essentially, if you want to buy sex, something is wrong with you. So they look down on those who buy sex (even though they're sometimes secretly those who also buy sex themselves - sort of like the anti-gay republicans who get caught... well, you know).
-
There's also the view that no woman in her right mind would ever want to sell sex, framing selling sex as abuse. Never mind that that's not necessarily the case and that selling sex is not just something women do, but if you see it like that, it makes sense to outlaw it, since you're trying to remove a source of harm.

It's in German: "Ei" (pronounced "I") means egg.
The one was called "Ei Love you", the other "Ei Love you more" (apparently even my autocorrect didn't want me to write it). No, I'm not telling the person behind the counter something that could be misunderstood as I love them, not happening.
- Comment on How would you safely and privately child-proof a PC? 1 month ago:
Except it makes it that much more enticing to find the forbidden thing. I had open internet access and I definitely wasn't looking for gore or anything like that. But at school, where the wifi was locked down, that gave me every reason to fuck around with it.
- Comment on Anon visits IHOP 1 month ago:
In my books, without the second half of the word it's a verb, and not an adjective or noun. But maybe I'm just getting old.
- Comment on Anon visits IHOP 1 month ago:
Some people don't mind cringeworthy things. For me, saying something that cringeworthy can hurt inside. Also, I just really don't like being coerced to say something in a certain way just to match some marketing shtick. The question shouldn't be "why don't you want to do it", but "why do you feel the need to compel me to use a term you made up".
- Comment on Anon visits IHOP 1 month ago:
There's a bakery close to where I live that I used to get stuff from regularly. One of the things I liked had a really cringeworthy pun as a name, though, so I just said something along the lines of "the one with ham and eggs". I regularly got asked "so one [cringeworthy pun]?" At some point I said, "yes, the one with the cringeworthy name". The employee (who seemed to be a more senior employee) said I should use the product names because it would apparently confuse the apprentices otherwise. When I said that it's just too cringeworthy she started saying things like "no one else will notice that it's cringeworthy" and going in the direction of "come on, you can do it". Well, I don't go there anymore.

- Comment on Are there any serial killers still active in the US today? With all the tech like dna, fingerprints, flock camera's etc. Would it be almost impossible to be one? 2 months ago:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Wettlaufer
For every new bit of technology, there's someone who finds a way to do stuff that the technology would never catch because the inventors of the technology never thought of the idea in the first point. Case in point, Elizabeth Wettlaufer is one of Canada's most prolific serial killers. They in all likelihood wouldn't have caught her if she herself hadn't confessed at some point. She was a nurse in a nursing home who regularly killed her patients by overdosing them on insulin. Because of the nature of her patients, those deaths never aroused enough suspicion to be investigated by police.
