It’s more of a joke than anything else, but at the very end, there are several male characters you can pester into marrying your male protagonist. This is probably the first gay relationship in a video game ever.

The point is to raise awareness.

Jesse Butler is a dangerous rapist. Just like Brock Turner, he received essentially no punishment and remains a danger to society. The state failed in its obligation to punish Jesse Butler and protect society from him. Hopefully if a judge understands that giving the kid-glove treatment to a dangerous rapist results in public opprobrium, they will reconsider letting dangerous rapists off because their family is connected with local college sports.

If he had been a woman who shot an abuser in self defense, he would have ended up in prison.

This entire situation is insane. He is going to end up killing someone, someday.

Don’t forget controlling and terrorizing women. A big aspect would be to punish women who take Tylenol during their pregnancy - possibly charge them with crimes, or use it as an excuse to take children away…

In the victim's statement, she revealed Butler threatened to kill her, her family or himself if she told anyone. She spoke of a scenario in which Butler strangled her until she was unconscious. According to the statement, she had to have surgery on her neck and a medical professional told her she was 30 seconds away from dying.

Family works for Oklahoma State University’s athletics. Football is religion here.

He resigned to take a position at an anti-union teachers union. There’s massive conflict of interest concerns, because he was doing things that benefited his new employer while still superintendent.

No Oklahoma Congress critter had the spine to do jack shit about him. Even the investigation into the porn was a joke, the investigators were basically like “what evidence do you want to give us? Let us know when you’d like us to come by!”

No, there were no consequences and he used his public position to get a job with an organization dedicated to destroying education from the outside, after looting state funds to pay his friends state salaries.

 

Jesse Butler was charged on 10 counts — two counts of attempted rape, three counts of rape by instrumentation, one count of sexual battery, one count of forcible oral sodomy, two counts of domestic assault and battery by strangulation and one count of domestic assault and battery — in February. The dates of the offenses were throughout 2024. He was 17 when he committed the crimes.

The Office of Juvenile Affairs created a rehabilitation plan and presented it to the judge Monday. The plan included more than 100 hours of community service, a curfew, no social media, daily check-ins and weekly counseling until his 19th birthday. It was approved.

The sims don’t really build anything on their own. I play the Sims 2, because it’s got decades of mods available at this point. The newer games don’t really seem worth it - the Sims 4 is very much focused on parcelling our everything as DLC.

Basically, I have a bunch of STALKER and Fallout 3 assets ported into the game and use them to decorate my little post apocalyptic setting. I try to destroy/rebuild in a way that looks sorta organic - having them squat in abandoned bowling alleys and the like.

Imho the Sims 2 is worth getting into. We’ve reached the point in the nostalgia cycle where the ridiculous early 00’s clothing is endearing. It’s a really open ended story telling tool, and with modding you can do things like historical simulations or weird sim cults or prisons… but even just playing the vanilla game has a lot of charm of its own.

My favorite thing to do in the Sims is to use a bomb mod to bomb pre made neighborhoods, and institute a post apocalyptic “Handmaid’s Tale” setting where most of the women are put into re-education camps.

Not a splatter movie, but Stalker was a hell of a movie on shrooms. 11/10 experience

It’s primarily a Jewish and Muslim thing. Christianity doesn’t really require it.

 

I’d only watched bits and pieces of TNG before, but starting with the first episode…

 
 

I guess the feeling that there needs to be a purpose, that there has to be a “goal.” I struggle with days off work, because I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing. I worry that I’m a failure across my life, I don’t know what it means to have done my life “right.”

 

I’ve been on testosterone for a long time and pass pretty well.

There’s rumblings of potential bans for trans health care.

What would prohibit me from going to a low T clinic, pretending to be cis, and getting a script as a low T cis man?
