Singularity Barrel: Can hold an infinite amount of one type of item. You want it to hold scimitars? Sure, it’ll hold as many as you could ever want. You try to put one dagger in there? You gotta dump out all the scimitars.

Mario for the SNES. First game I played that I owned, Pokémon Yellow or Super Mario 64

A 17 year old and an 18 year old are only a year apart in maturity. It’s essentially comparable to a 17 and 16 year old. 2 years apart starts to get gray as far as morality goes. I’m against 16 and 19, but i can imagine extremely remote cases where it might be acceptable, but that is stretching my objective capabilities. 16 and 20 is too far. As you get closer to 25 and the brain is fully developed, the margins get wider.

For instance, 18 and 22? That goes back to stretching it. 19 and 23? Back to morally Grey. 20 and 24? Fine.

Ephebophelia definitions are meant to cast a wide net to protect as many people as possible. Just get over it for societies greater good.

I once took an acquaintance’s, that I no longer have any contact with, math final in college. She had been out of school for 6 weeks taking care of sick relatives, but she was late on submitting paperwork for an incomplete.

My payment? A 3 Musketeers. Worth it.

Yeah… heavy sarcasm I’m loving the two terrorist groups slugging at each other right now. So good.

Nah, I find being a humanitarian feels better and offers to help more people than conservatism.

You right, thiugh.

Well, I’ve had to remove multiple people that used to just be right leaning for outright fascist statements and ideas in the last few months as they’ve deteriorated into hate speech and ethnic cleansing…so while I grew up conservative…yeah, I can’t support that shit.

Democrats are a mild improvement at best but at least they aren’t constantly being approved of by the KKK and being touted by mass shooters.

I’d like a proper left-leaning candidate, but with America’s history. They’ll end up assassinated.

Late Stage Capitalism: Poverty is worse than anytime after slavery, wealthy people have never been wealthier, police brutality is at the highest since slavery, workers rights are trending back towards the second Industrial Revolution, politics recognizes corporations as people (thus robbing those who cannot compete with billions upon billions of dollars), civil rights are receding, basic necessities are becoming scarce, the environment itself is being poisoned for profit, etc.

Undertale: You’ve progressed through most of the game. You didn’t strike out at the monsters. You’ve done everything you could to avoid hurting those around you and yet strive for escape. Over and over You’ve been put up against a wall with your enemies striving to end you. You could fight back, you could react to this world of monsters and become like them, a monster.

But you didn’t. You stand before a mirror in a house very similar to the one you were in at the start of the game. Looking into the mirror, you are affirmed.

“Despite everything. It’s still you.”

Despite everything I’ve gone through. Despite the hunger and gnawing to give in. To respond to the hatred and harm that has been inflicted on me with fury and bloodlust equal to the twisted delight others have taken in my suffering. I didn’t give in. I didn’t lose my joy in making others smile. I didn’t give up my interests and the rare and disparate moments of joy.

Despite everything. It’s still me. I’m still here. I’m not a monster.

Hello! Resident Genderfluid person here. Usually you can just ask their name and that works to get them to give you the greeting they like. They look like a James, but give you the name Samantha? Probably safe to use she/her unless doing so has them ask you to use something else. IRL, at least.

Online? It’s usually in a bio or they will tell you if it is functionally relevant. The only people I (anecdotally) have seen devolve into scree when accidentally misgendered were people trying to start something or acting for the sake of poisoning the well.

As far as using non conventional pronouns irl, you probably haven’t heard it since it is genuinely dangerous to be outed in a lot of places. Look up gay/trans panic laws. It’s dangerous to be queer in America with Conservatives having so much sway right now.

I’m confused. You are here and engaging, but you think it is an echo chamber? Echo chambers aren’t really conducive to outside opinions. I’m here and definitely not a liberal, I’m a humanitarian.

As long as you don’t see any person to the left of you as a Liberal, you’ll find a decently diverse pool here!

Stick around, smell the flowers.

I could probably do a better job running your country than the guy you elected since I know when to give the problem to someone more qualified.

I’m a human-by-approximate over here. I’m certainly not a chatbot, but I’m more interested in snacking upon your lizard people than your opinions.

Sorry.
