Childhood trauma is the typical root cause 99% of the time.

This law is disgusting and a 10-year-old’s brain is barely developed. Putting the same degree of responsibility on them as an adult is abhorrent.

I know it’s on the “other” site, but this post from a few months ago has several people saying they got it working quite nicely: https://www.reddit.com/r/cavesofqud/comments/1dcqyym/regarding_qud_on_the_steam_deck/

I don’t think anyone believes that anymore besides the MAGA cultists.

The US really set the Iranian people up for failure by playing a key role in the 1953 coup that overthrew Mohammad Mosaddeq. Just imagine how different things there would be today. But nope, CIA had to fuck around and heavily contribute to screwing over an entire population for generations.

Edit: I shouldn’t have forgotten Britain’s SIS role, either. It was their oil industry that Mohammad was campaigning to nationalize, after all.

I mean, it could be worse? That’s definitely pretty obnoxious, though.

Agreed. And I’m not religious, either. I’m not rigidly atheist, but I am highly skeptical of some omniscient, omnipotent being playing some divine version of RimWorld.

Damnit, now I feel like playing some RimWorld…

Does the Bible actually say it’s forever? I thought I’ve read a discussion before where it’s implied that one can still repent and be redeemed in the afterlife. I’m not a theologian or an expert in the least bit, so I may be misremembering or it could’ve just been someone from one of the various more modern, progressive religious sects.

Man, that might happen for a high profile family/person. For average people in many places in the US, they’ll be lucky if the police even pay out to cover damages to property, nevermind anything else.

Edit: and yes, I know this is just a green text and not a real story.

Part of the psyops to polarize our country further also includes radicalizing liberals. Thankfully, we’ve just been much, much slower at adopting extremist, violent views than the magats.

Tf are you on about? You realize that a huge chunk of small business owners are middle class, right? Hell, many of them are barely holding on at all. My wife is a social worker and started her own “business” this year, which is just a small office she rents so she has a safe place to meet her clients. I promise you we are far from being wealthy. Don’t confuse small business as being riddled with millionaires and billionaires, because that’s just complete nonsense.
