I can't believe that we have reached the point as a civilization where I'm legitimately not sure whether or not this was intended as satire.

Yeah, but with the caveat that this will only make the world a better place if society chose to implicitly allow this, and actively chose not to disparage, mock, and exclude those people who want to go this path. Which, based on everything we've ever seen about society, is not going to happen.

It's just very hard to find a compromise or "agree to disagree" when the topic of debate is something like should LGBT people be allowed to exist. The days are long past where the right/left divide was all about economic policy -- the divide lies along basic human values at this point. You're going to be hard pressed to find people who can engage with you calmly when you're defending a party whose primary concerns right now are stripping away civil rights from their least favorite human beings before all else.

you have to specify what genders of nonbinary are/aren’t welcome

"Genders of nonbinary"

My friend, nonbinary is a gender. This is like asking what type of bird a chicken is.

TL;DR: we saw a burst of energy (scientific name: luminous fast blue optical transient) that we previously thought only came from a star going supernova, but this burst came from the middle of nowhere in the sky and therefore was not caused by a star exploding. So now we know that these explosions (LFBOTs) aren't just made by stars.

Until a better theory comes along, I will assume we just witnessed our first warpcore breach. A moment of silence for the ship, and may her crew have gotten to the escape pods.

With a title like this, it's kind of disappointing that the answer is just "good infrastructure planning" and not something like "the land is cursed such that all who walk upon it shall rise again forever more."

But like... couldn't she just be paying for Nitro on her own?

Harley and Ivey don't deserve this!

This is why I stick to hentai. No traficking or coercion or questionable consent there, just a bunch of nerds doing what they love.

The CNN article fails to mention that the "two decades" they were measuring were 1993–2010. So, there's been another 13 years since then, and humanity's water usage has probably only risen in that time.

If you want to skip Business Insider here, the "think tank" they're referring to is the Institute of War. All BI is doing is summarizing the July 7th ISW conflict analysis, which you can read directly from the "think tank" here: https://www.understandingwar.org/...

I still don't understand where they think that infernal powerlift tube labyrinth/endless nightmare dimension is supposed to fit inside the ship.

There's a ton of wholesome consensual adult-angled 2D stuff out there. Like a ton. The concept of hentai as all underage rape fantasy is a myth. Plus if I stumble across some unmoderated creepy stuff when I'm browsing new, I can just close it and move on without the burden of knowing I saw a real thing that happened to a real person.

It's frustrating, but I'm betting it won't last. With all the people who only visit twitter via links from other sites (or those embedded tweets in news articles), doing something like this will cause twitter's page traffic to suddenly implode. Which will cause their advertisement impression statistics to implode. Which will make their paying advertisers explode. And then twitter will roll it back.

Unless, of course, Elongated Muskrat is intentionally and purposefully trying to completely remove twitter from existence. In which case, this is a pretty clever move.

It reminds me of a particular Star Wars quote by Ben Kenobi actually..

Musk and Spez are riding single-file, to hide their numbers? My god, there's more of them??

I knew it. I felt it the second I typed it that there was something wrong with the analogy and someone who knows birds more than me would come along and point it out. I posted the analogy anyway. That's on me.

This is a strange question. What do you think sexuality is? And what about your definition precludes fulfillment from an AI partner?

Hmm. Putting your "My Folder" right there on the desktop for everyone to see. A brave choice...

Holy shit this is a Kbin glitch? I 100% believed the author of the article was just a huge nerd who had found a way to relate Clarence Thomas to Lutan. It... it seemed reasonable somehow...

I don't see anything in this wikipedia article that supports your claim or even suggests it.
