Ahhh, there’s the obvious conclusion.
If we can de-extinct* species, surely there’s no point in worrying about endangered species anymore! We can bring them back anytime!
*depending on your definition of de-extinction.
And considering one of the heads chose to go on Joe Rogan's show i wouldn't be at all surprised if they're encouraging this
GEE WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING
Why does it matter if this administration torpedos EVERY major animal conservation law, we can just bring them back! We are very smart.
Hey, so if you have Windows 11 installed and have been losing your mind over the fact that you can't find your own files because Windows is now prioritizing internet search results first, you can fix it by following this guide:
As someone with over 900 GB of intentionally and properly named files on her computer (I do a lot of digital art and digital media work that requires high-volume files that function off of dependencies), this feature was making me furious. I followed the above instructions and can confirm that the method outlined solves the problem.
I have just tried this, it works and the explanation how to do it was so user friendly and clearly laid out.
10 and 11 are also kinda secretly adding Windows Copilot to your computer when you're not looking. Even without software updates. You can follow this guide to disable Copilot
The guide uses a program called gpedit (group policy editor), if you can't find it on your computer, follow this guide to install/enable it, and remember to always run as administrator:
Run these commands in command prompt.
FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~*.mum") DO ( DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F" )
FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~*.mum") DO ( DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F" )

"can we normalize-" NO!!!!!! we do not need to expand whats considered normal!!! we need to teach people to stop reacting judgmentally when encountering something new and weird!!!! things dont need to be normal to be respected!!!!!!!!!!
Uhm
So
I have kind of a weird question but you're the best person I can think to answer
If SA is ok to do if it's part of a kink, is killing ok to do? Like if both people consent and it's agreed before they have sex that one person will be killed by the other. Does that count as murder/is it legal if both people want it? Because I've seen stuff like "it's ok to hit your partner on the kidneys if they really want it, even if it causes permanent damage" and I always thought that was a big no no
Also, if causing a miscarriage is your kink and both people consent, is that ok as well? I don't even think that's illegal
Again I'm sorry these questions are so weird but like I'm so curious to know and obviously I don't want to ask a cop lololol
Thanks
Hi! I love weird questions but I will be very clear, legal stuff is not my bag, I hate it and I'm admittedly not an expert on it unless you just want me to be a straight-up hater.
To be very clear, SA is not okay at all. If you're talking about consensual non-consent, or rape-play, that's not SA anymore than putting on a cop murder mystery play is murder or impersonating an officer.
It's pretend. It's roleplay. That's not the same thing.
And no, unless you're high up in the government or work in Medical Assistance In Dying (MAiD), generally murder is not legal even if someone agrees to it. Admittedly, this could vary depending on where you live but I'm fairly sure it doesn't vary that much.
Also, it's a really bad idea to hit someone in the kidneys. It's dangerous and even if your partner wants it, it's generally better to find safer types of play that won't put you possibly in jail or permanently disable your partner.
As for miscarriages, I don't know about the legality of it but it'd also be very risky and a generally bad idea. You could kill your partner easily and even if you don't, again, you can cause permanent damage and/or wind up in jail.
Most things, if I'm being honest, aren't a matter of "is this legal" but "you will likely permanently and/or severely injure your partner(s), if not kill them" and that's obviously something to avoid.
Being risk-aware during kink also means knowing when to step back and find something else or dive further into the roleplay aspect than the physical and that's important to keep in mind.
Also, yeah, I'd recommend not talking to cops at all and talking to them about kink even less.
Glad to answer, though I'm not sure how helpful this is. Lemme know if you have any other questions though, these were cool! <3
when i say my gender changes to the tune of the bit i mean a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do and if he can’t then god forbid women do anything

But you still recognized that as a Homestuck reference.
What were YOU doing at the devil's sacrament?
i googled the words & got results from the homestuck wiki. that’s not attending the devil’s sacrament that’s investigating suspicious noises in the woods by lanternlight
it is so funny to me how i started learning english on my own age 10 because the manga i was reading was turning so so so bad i went to fan content to cope with how shit it was. and 15 years later this pays off as my boss tells me i'm an essential asset in the team as the only fluent english-speaker.
My English got sooo much better once I started reading in English. Why did I start? Because at 15 I didn't want to wait a year for the newest Heroes of Olympus book to be translated into German, duh? Now people regularly ask me if I'm a native speaker because apparently watching all of New Who (and a bunch of other bbc shows) in English gave me a pretty good idea of what the language is supposed to sound like.
usually when you have a stomach bug your body is like yes sir we'll get this punk out of here, 48 hours tops. then you get a cold and your body is like I dunno ... between a few hours and eleven months ... maybe a week minimum .... you gotta understand we're short staffed
tbf to the body, stomach bugs are easier to flush out since they are already in The System That Flushes Things Out From The Body, and that includes BOTH ends.
with a cold you gotta wait for the macrophages in your blood to start Eating Everything, and they are. not big. it takes them a while. please be more considerate of your macrophages in the future, theyre doing their best
Hey, so. I feel like shit for asking this here but I don’t know what else to do.
I recently accidentally found my son of 15 years kissing his friend, who is 13. My son was, well, clearly masturbating as they kissed. He also said he’d been “into him forever”.
I’m not worried about my son being gay (to be frank with you, the signs were there, I just didn’t want to push him to come out before he was ready).
But the age gap is really worrying me. It’s worth noting that my son was 15 and a half when this happened, and the other boy was under a week from turning 14.
The other thing is, the other boy is transsexual/transgender (I can never remember which word is right), and my son has been somewhat important in his journey (defending him from bullies and buying him a binder when he couldn’t afford), something I’ve been proud of him for. But this also means my son has some degree of power over him.
My son has a kind heart, however in the past he did (non-sexually) abuse a female friend of his. He was very sorry when I explained to him what he’d done wrong. I took him to therapy and it seems a lot of the ways he treated her were learned from his original family (I adopted him when he was 11). He and the girl are both doing better now.
All this to say, I’m worried my son may be unintentionally taking advantage of the younger boy. Half of my head is saying I’m being overdramatic and jeopardising my son’s happiness because of my own experiences; The other half says I need to stop this or else I’ll be enabling my son to be an abuser.
I honestly just have no clue.
Hi! It's okay to ask, I don't mind answering.
The age gap you're worried about is okay, Anon. He's a year and a half older than him. That's not some sort of inherently predatory distance, it's okay.
I can't give you a lot of advice here but I do have a couple thoughts.
Talk to both of them.
First, you should speak to your son. How has the dating come about? Make sure he knows that this boy is younger than him and that his support of this boy's gender should not be conditional.
If it sounds like he's not respecting this boy or he coerced him into a relationship, sounds like it's time to have a more serious talk and talk to a therapist again.
If he doesn't know much about dating or sex (or if you don't know what he knows about dating and sex), make sure he does know and that he understands how consent works! You could even talk to his therapist about that if he still has one.
I'd also recommend talking to his boyfriend. Ask him how the dating came about. Mention that you want to make sure he's happy and if he does, congratulate him and make sure they both know you're not pissed about the gay part of all this.
If it sounds like he was coerced, again, talk to him, help him, make sure he knows you'll have his back.
But, also important to keep in mind, your son is not destined to abuse others because of what he did before. No one is but especially keep in mind he is a kid. He's growing and learning.
What you're talking about is a very small age gap and yes, there's a power imbalance but that doesn't mean your son will take advantage of it.
It just means talk to them and maybe keep an eye out. Make sure they both feel safe to talk to you and ask questions.
I don't know how helpful this is but let me know if you have any other questions, Anon. Wishing y'all the best. <3
Hello, I'd like to ask that you spare Mohammed some money. He's been raising money for his family of 5 since last year, the youngest of which is only 6 years old. Israel's violation of the ceasefire, he once again needs help to be able to afford basic goods for his family.
Vetted by GazaVetters, No. 77 (the fundraiser is in his youngest brother's name)
Vetted! Their gfm is #77 on @/gazavetters vetted list, shared by @/gaza-evacuation-funds and shared by @/90-ghost!
The situation is so dire and there have been so many attacks on the area he is living in and I am very worried for him. Mohammed is only 19 years old! He has 5 siblings, one of whom is blind and his youngest brother Ahmed is only 6 years old!! Please help them!
