It means getting paid a special check equalling the amount extra you would have been paid if you had gotten the raise last year.

The technologies were/are not grifts. They were used as buzzwords to enable the grift of spending investor money.

That one gets you hunted and eaten by human predators in certain parts of America.

Assisted suicides do not consent to die. They request to die. They initiate the process themselves rather than allow the desire of others to dictate events. There is a subtle but important distinction.

Assisted suicide is suicide, performed by the dying individual. Assisting in a suicide is enabling a killing, but is not murder if done correctly. The one performing suicide is the active party, not simply granting consent to the actions of another.

To bring things back to the original point, rape and murder are covered by different ethical principles. Consent has no bearing on murder. Consent is definitive for rape.

The moral standing of a killing is completely unrelated to consent for most people. Most would say murder doesn’t become moral because the victim was suicidal. The killing itself is the basis for the moral stance, not the desires of the victim. The act is valued. Consent is neutral.

Sexual interaction is different. It does not necessitate a state change. It can be done to positive effect if done with consent. But animals, much like children, are viewed as insufficiently capable of granting consent. The consent is the basis for the moral stance, not the act itself. Consent is valued. The act is neutral.

One of the biggest issues in society is education, but it’s not limited to any one area. It’s fundamental to our language based systems. There is something fundamentally untranslatable and intransmissible about knowledge. It even goes beyond philosophical qualia. People innately classify chunks of reality and then are trained to classify them in even more complex ways, usually based on their affordances, but the possibility space contains near infinite variety we map into a finite, and in some cases extremely crude conceptual space. So much of social existence is based upon the recognition of distinctions that exist as sub-classes to the sub-classes to the sub-classes to the classes delineated so long ago they are part of the ideological foundations to the maps themselves.

Humans are not capable of comprehending the unintelligible infinity of reality at any age.

Think it one step further. Why are they trained to accept the ‘power’ of the libido? What do they get out of it? Answer: they get to satisfy, or at least titilate the libido.

It’s the old paradox of society and desire. Individuals want to feel good. Society cannot function if individuals only seek their own pleasure. How do you satisfy both goals? By twisting them both until they can suffice to get you through to tomorrow.

Sexual morality is rooted in consent. Mortal morality is not.

America does give military training to white supremacists and gang members. They then usually attack Americans, though. Some reports hold, in fact, they put one such individual in charge of the Department of War.

It’s hard to get a good number there. Most nutritional measures are by volume or mass, rather than grain count, and the number of grains in a cup or kilo is variable based on type, (un)processed, etc. One site I found says 7k~10k per cup, which would be ~37k/kg. Nutritional calculations are complicated by the conversion from uncooked to cooked because rice usually expands as you cook it, so 1 cup uncooked is fewer grains than uncooked, but nutritional data is usually for cooked foods. Looks like maybe cooking expands the rice by about 3x. Then there are questions regarding what the necessary amount would be. A cup of cooked is ~200 calories. A standard estimate for number of calories needed, ignoring nutrition, is ~2k. Rough guess?
10c cooked rice = 3.33c uncooked = 23k~33k grains

He’s cute but that chonker looks mostly only ready to hunt the kibble in his bowl.

The Nazis will give him shit. No one else.

I’ve written some scripts on my phone with a software keyboard. Some CSS tweaking as well. I wouldn’t want to do anything complex, though.

Being Superman in particular. There are plenty of ‘superheroes’ who are far less scrupulous.

Will there be movies about haunted figurines that kill the people who buy them?

Technically possible, but the probability that everything on earth except humans won the coinflip would be infinitesimal.

Other way around.

There’s a fucked up comedy sketch in there, somewhere.
