I googled Stadlen, 41, he was 22 when 9/11 happened. There were British troops in the initial invasion of Afghanistan, the UK left in 2014 for those curious.

Pretty much. Or, it's only 6 months in the case of desertion.

Or, no time at all if one of you just fucks somebody else (or you both lie & claim that happened). In practice, the courts just hand-wave everything unless one party kicks up a fuss, because they recognise that the current grounds are regressive & dumb.

There is a point to be made though that the easy way to go from being in a relationship to not being married is just not to get married in the first place. Like it's kind of the point of marriage that it's not something you can just easily flake out of or something.

The real problem is that the state considers people's relationship status to be any of its loving business.

Friend of mine got divorced a few years back. No great drama. They just drifted apart, tried counselling etc. Decided to split.

He was basically told by his own lawyer "This will be a lot easier, if you just lie about having had an affair. Don't worry, me and your partners lawyer have come to an agreement, it won't hurt the arrangements etc".

He entirely understandably declined. Showing commendable restraint I feel in not telling him to gently caress off and fire him on the spot, which I absolutely would have done.

But yes he had to wait.

The noise just came out of my mouth was not a human sound. This has gotta be a joke or a dumb sketch or something, surely.

So the fear-mongering of "MASKS WILL TRAUMATIZE OUR KIDS, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE YOU SMILE!" wasn't working, so now it's just "OKAY BUT WHAT IF THE KID IS BEING KIDNAPPED?!"

Joke's on you, I never smile at random kids anyway. :colbert:

So like ... is this specific to white women? White women specifically have a "whites only pls" gene that gets inactivated by birth control?

Historical examples of women choosing partners of a different skin color got hormonal birth control time traveled into them??

man it seems really complicated to justify this whole anti-miscegenation thing without just saying what you really mean

It's closely related to how your peener shrinks permanently if you put it in a woman before marriage.

Holy poo poo, speaking of ads. I just remembered the other day: any of y'all got those Youtube ads for the pangolin, this endangered scaly anteater? My partner and I are both real sensitive to animal death, and this fuckin' ad SUCKS. It shows a hunter firing his gun into some bushes, but it's kinda hard to see what's going on so it's not too bad. But literally the next shot is some guy...disembowling? Skinning? a dead pangolin and I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THIS, YOUTUBE! It's only a second-long shot but it's enough to tell exactly what's happening and be upset by it. We've reported the ad several times but lord knows that won't do anything.

(Yes, we normally use an ad blocker, but unfortunately the Youtube app on the PS4 doesn't have one.)

100% have been triggered by youtube ads on my phone, and there is no control over them. You can report or flag an ad, but they're going to send it right back to you the very next video. God forbid you accidentally watched something political, because it's Louder with Crowder in your recommends time and autoplaying even though you turned it off. Youtube desperately wants the "leftists, centrists and nazis screaming at eachother" engagement numbers of other platforms.

I've been using Vanced on my android phone but sometimes I use the iPad and get ads

Other than the usual McDonald's, fake game and genshin impact ads I may get
- video of crying (then dying) Palestinian children for a scam charity org
- some dude still doing the "pointing at car and shelves of self help books"
- a financial motivational speaker whose video comprise his vacation photos with his wife, his advice is "invest in this dubious grey market scheme where we buy gold and silver in China"
- scam Bangladesh ads of bollywood songs, slideshow featuring dancing women, weddings, mosques, crying elderly people in a village
- 5 hour slide show of a Chinese seafood restaurant featuring photos of patrons celebrating private occasions
- video of smiling children in an orphanage, asking you to donate money for their coffins

I'm assuming these have to be effective because they repeat

Lol I mean... I'm not an expert on dating sims but it seems like a bunch of people are mad because an otherwise fun and lighthearted game that's even available on the Switch suddenly incorporates a villain character stalking and harassing the player. I am guessing a lot of players are extremely weirded out by this.

Obviously the voice actor shouldn't be harassed for it, but it seems kinda disingenuous to just act like they're complaining about fictional villainy in general. If a Nintendo game suddenly included an unexpected rape plot people would understandably freak out, and for plenty of people stalking is not that far from that level.

Ok, but maybe direct that at the people who put it in the game and not some random dude who got hired to read a script someone else wrote.

Yes, as I said he should not be harassed for it. But also it kinds sounds more like obnoxious Tumblr people making some moralistic arguments that simply annoy the OP rather than death threats or something.

It's more that he's getting messages saying he's a bad person for acting as a character who is a terrible person. Which is a really stupid thing to believe and harass someone over.

Yeah, this unfortunately happens a lot. Some notable examples include actors for Skylar from Breaking Bad and Joffrey from Game of Thrones. A more recent example is an actor in Riverdale (the dramatic Archie thing) whose character gets between Betty and Jughead.
