Talking about 50s pedo scifi, John Varley was one of my favorite writers as a teenager when I'd read one or two of his books... I later read a collection of short stories, all of which I think were fine but for the last one, that was about a normal human dude walking into a tribe of people who had no sense of sight or sound. And lo a prepubescent naked girl teaches him the ways of their tribe, mostly through touching. Lots of touching. And later a full blown orgy.

I was in fourth grade. At the time I thought it was the sweetest thing. There was a Japanese film adapted from this story, and they made it... um, slightly less creepy by making the little girl an adopted sister instead of a friend's daughter. And their age gap was reduced by like twenty years.

My mother was on probation for 21 years. This is because every time her probation was almost finished she'd get another DUI and they'd restart it. But she eventually was able to behave herself long enough for it to run out. Anecdotally, I know a guy who torched a Humvee lot way back in 2005. He threw some molotov cocktails and caused a lot of financial damage but nobody was hurt. When he was arrested, the difference between having a life-sentence with a terrorism charge vs. a five-year arson sentence was based entirely on the prosecution's inability to prove the molotovs were thrown or not. Since they could not prove that, the molotovs were not considered "bombs" but instead "incendiary devices," and he was able to serve his time and is today back out and teaching string theory at a university in Florida. But during his sentencing, he had to listen to the jury read aloud every single count. "On the first count of terrorism, we find the defendant... not guilty. On the second count of terrorism, we find the defendant..." There were like thirty counts. If for whatever reason the jury did find him guilty on any count of it it would have been a life sentence. It doesn't really make sense why you might have 29 counts one thing but one the other, since the evidence applied broadly to all counts, but juries fuckin can do that poo poo. It just takes one juror with an agenda to turn a five year sentence to a life sentence. (A life sentence in federal prison is frequently called an LWOP; life without the possibility of parole. It's not the 25 year default that applies elsewhere.)

B33rChiller posted:They convict on the basis of a single juror's say so in your country? hosed up if true. No, but an unreasonable juror can cause problems. I served on a jury once where this bitter old lady wanted to punish this guy we all knew was innocent. We had to spend extra time "deliberating" for no other reason than to convince this person that the innocent guy does not deserve punishment based on her personal opinion of him. In 12 Angry Men it took just one juror to change everything. I mean, in that case it's for the better, but it could go the other way.

As someone generally not all that plugged in to what's going on, my impression was like... 2010: Elon Musk is the billionaire who's going to use his money to actually do things, like with science and poo poo 2015: Elon Musk is a piece of poo poo who's going to use his money to actually do things, like with science and poo poo 2020: Elon Musk is a piece of poo poo 2022: Elon Musk is a piece of poo poo and an idiot

Regarding the right-wing meth subreddit, I just want to say, I grew up in a meth den and 100% of the meth heads my parents sold to were the most right-wing fascist people I've ever met in my life. I've always associated meth with right-wingers, just not the right-wingers who have money.

It was supposed to be clapping. I just don't get it. There's another emoji that shows up on Facebook that looks like goatse but apparently it's supposed to be praise or prayer or something.

COD1's multiplayer was about the last game I played online. Just kinda realized I don't like playing with Internet randos all that much and never went back until PUBG piqued my interest briefly. Are Call of Duty games popular on console? I think it would be agony using a controller in a first person shooter.

I eat a vegan diet and all the food tastes great, and it's all in a vague way meant to be likened to an animal. Like, Chik Patties or whatever. But they definitely don't taste like what I remember any of the actual meat tasting like. And after all these years, the flavor, as I remember, of meat is distasteful on its own without my added vegan attitudes toward it. Point I'm making, I don't think vegans care all that much that the food they're eating FOOLS EVEN MASTER CHEFS! I just want something that tastes good and has good texture and makes my stomach stop bitching at me.

I once attended a money management class and the instructor began by asking how frequently you get your haircut. One guy said twice a week, and we all laughed and looked at him, and he was confused as to why this was amusing. His hair wasn't fancy or anything. It was buzzed as far as I could tell but I guess he needed it to always be at exactly that length. e: fuckin awful snipe, hey here's credburn's boring rear end anecdote Facebook has this habit of spamming me with streamer ads, and after about a dozen "this is irrelevant to me" clicks, they finally go away. Then, whoops I looked up something about Yakuza, it seems like this guy changed his mind about streamers! Ad blitz!

Neito posted:I've had multiple arguments with people at the con I work at as to if they're "sexual" or not. I hate those loving things with a burning passion. I almost bought one once because I honestly thought cross-eyed, mouth-open, drool-coming-out-of-mouth was indicative that the person is dead, or a zombie, or in some state of reanimation/brainlessness. I thought the hoodie I saw online was generated by some AI... I think my girlfriend at the time stopped me from buying it, and another friend of mine who works for a manga publisher says everyone wears these whenever she has to actually interact in person with her coworkers (which is rare, I guess)

Oh, okay. I guess I get it. So, is this some kind of rhetorical weapon being used by TERFs in some way? I have two transgender friends who are going to have surgery eventually. I guess in my mind the whole thing could be done in one go, but no? I'm not a TERF, I'm just ignorant.

Two days ago these two guys came into the 7-11 I work at with clipboards and were asking people to sign petitions to stop our governor from banning gas stoves. They kept accosting me with questions like, "Are YOU okay with them taking away YOUR choice to have a gas stove?" I was angry when they took away my choice to have lead paint but at this point in my life I no longer care.

Sir Lemming posted:I laugh at this because whatever they do, if anything, would probably just apply to brand new construction and/or brand new stoves, and yet they're trying to push this as something that would directly, immediately impact the average joe (half of whom are probably using electric anyway and not particularly upset about it). This is actually their main point, that if you owned some land and wanted to build a house, you should be allowed to use a gas stove if you want. G-dangit I'm being tread on!
