Newtons part in the slave trade is no less a part of the life and history of Newton then his contributions to science, why would we omit it? Calling him a piece of shit and saying he contributed to an awful system does not alter the fact that modern math and physics are where they are currently due to his contributions. Conversely, his contributions to science doesn't alter the fact he contributed to one of the worst systems in human history.

Lol, this is the internet equivalent of a toddler thinking if they can't see you, they are hidden.

To me, what I feel like they take away is valuable screentime. This opnion does hinge upon the fact that I feel most sex scenes are superfluous and don't add anything to the movie they are in. To be honest, these seems to be further backed by the fact quite a few sex scenes are done at the behest of sudio executives and not directors, because they know sex sells, at least with older generations. I feel like a lot of younger people recognize this and don't really care for a sex scene for the sake of itself.

This is all not to say I think there shouldn't be sex movies. I do think it can be part of the plot and add to the narrative, I just don't think that is always why we get one.

Are we going to keep letting these politicians murder our children? Why are we enforcing the religious doctrine of a few religions over the sanctity for life? (This is all rhetorical by the way, I know the answer, I'm just furious)

Most the shit on this sub is stupid, but I have to admit this one gave me a chuckle, even if it is a little mischaracterizing Linux.

Edit: also, guitar hero basically already does exist on Linux (and Windows and Mac) it's called Clone Hero

No it doesn't because a person chooses to get intoxicated. One does not choose to be a child or be mentally impaired.

Justice Lindsey Miller-Lerman, who ruled with the majority, criticized Evnen and Hilgers for attempting such a massive rollback of voting rights right before a major election. “Why now?” she wrote. “Why not take the opportunity to challenge the laws long ago with available remedies, rather than creating uncertainty at this time?”

We all know why

Depends on what I am using it for. I quite like oat milk in my coffee drinks. I feel like it is nice to have the oaty flavor paired with the coffee taste.
