If you’re looking for a hint without a full reveal:

Fun little game! I’d say up through the first forty levels or so, it’s easy but not effortless, very relaxing. Around the forties it starts to require more active thought and effort, and becomes more challenging. Both are appealing in their own way. As a game strongly reliant on color matching, this game isn’t going to work well for you if you have limited color vision, but otherwise it’s pretty accessible to all players and runs smoothly. If this sounds like your thing, give it a whirl!

The case has gripped South Korea, where abortions are not regulated properly. The procedure was decriminalised in 2019, there is no clear regulation on how far into pregnancy it can be carried out.

I cannot imagine a single reasonable person arguing that there is any legal right to kill an already born baby as a part of any abortion policy.

A huge fundamental principle of the pro-choice movement is about bodily autonomy and your right to decide that you will not use your body to incubate a fetus to maturity at this time, for any reason. The idea is that you have the right to remove a fetus from your body using reasonable methods, and if hasn’t matured into a viable baby that can survive outside of your uterus by that point, then it is an abortion.

There are a whole lot of arguments to be had within this realm. What does ‘reasonable’ look like in different cases? At what point is the fetus enough of a person for its rights to be considered, and how does that weigh against the pregnant person’s right to decline consent to using their organs to provide life support to another person? If a pregnancy is near the point of viability and there is no threat to the pregnant person, how long is it reasonable to expect them to wait to bring the fetus to the point of being a viable baby instead of aborting? Even among people who hold a consensus on the right to an abortion, there is some debate.

But I have never once encountered a single person who has argued that abortion law applies after the baby is already fucking born.

This is not a legal gray area.

Wishing you well.

Okay but is no one going to take a moment to ask about this person and someone he knows both doing self drilled dental work though? Is this some “yeah dental care in the US sucks even more than you think” thing or??

I am a big believer in regulation, and some governments right now are in a position where they can be pressured to take anti-monopoly action against Amazon, which I want very much to see. Being in the U.S. as I am right now, though… There are some state governments I would like to see act (and shout-out to California for doing so here), but I am also brainstorming other nonviolent disruptive action which could be taken, because the federal government right now is actual fascists and Amazon is in league with them.

I was looking over instances sorted by uptime, saw one that had high uptime, a lot of users, and a literal promise that shit will just work in its name. I did a bit of scoping to see that it was easy to view communities across all instances from SJW and figured, fuck it, seems like as good a choice as any.

Oh my God they literally gave it the same acronym.

What a beautiful companion he was. I’m so sorry for your loss.

I think it depends, but considering pure practicality, horses tend to require a fair amount of pasture and food that an electric “horse” wouldn’t. You can’t just leave a horse in a garage for a few months.

Yeah, exactly.

My first reaction: LOL. LMAO, even.

My second reaction: … Wait, this could actually be really useful if it’s actually functional and affordable though.

I’m not holding my breath, but like, in theory this could actually be really good?

Frustrating, but I appreciate your answer; thank you.

Why is “(most favored nation status)” in parentheses?

I have often wondered whether targeted internet boycott days would shake up AWS, but I don’t know enough about their billing structure to run the numbers to see how much that would dig into AWS profits + how much of their income is flat subscription fees vs. billing on number of calls and haven’t had a chance to dig into it yet.

This feels like a “read the room” kind of comment.

All humans are biologically considered animals, and there are many times when I feel that viewing human behavior through that lens genuinely encourages compassion and understanding, and yet: there is a long history of people being called “animals” as a dehumanizing measure in order to justify doing the same horrible things to them that humans routinely do to non-human animals. This is particularly true for historically marginalized groups.

Likewise, there is a long, racist history of white people calling Black people “apes” or “monkeys” to justify racist systems and treat Black people the way they view monkeys and non-human apes, as resembling humans but not fully human.

This representative is specifically responding to a video shared by Trump, who has a long history of racist behavior, in which the Obamas were depicted as distinctly non-human apes (I cannot recall the specific ape and cannot readily look it up. Gorillas, I think?), echoing that racist trope.

When someone responds to Trump trafficking in racist tropes with “Black people aren’t apes,” they are not getting into the nitty gritty of taxonomical clades, they’re countering that trope. “Well, actually”-ing about humans technically being apes is undercutting the focus on countering Trump’s racism. Time and place.

The other commenters here are right about Amazon’s initial methods, but I’m also going to highly recommend Cory Doctorow’s Enshittification for a detailed explanation of how this happens (including a breakdown on Amazon specifically) and what to do about it.

I respect not wanting to deal with this administration, but also, this administration does not seem like a good one not to have a passport under.
