I've been in situations where, when trying to find the answer to a question no one knows the answer to, I'll suggest we look it up, only to be met with something like "or we could just have a conversation like people".

There's quite a bit of tech aversion going around.

    Sure, no arguments here. But consequences and prevention are not the same thing. Assaulting children should beget a consequence. Just being a pedo and doing nothing else should beget prevention. Castration is a consequence, even a punishment, when used against someone whose crime is having unwanted thoughts. Punishing thought crime would have sickening results for scores of vulnerable people, so I'm not one to argue for opening that door.

    Agreed. The worst people in history were all still very much human. They had internal complexity that caused them to live the lives they lived and make the mistakes they did. And those humans were terrible people whose deaths deserve celebration, because they're shining examples of which parts of humanity we should strive to avoid emulating.

    Let your eyeballs pop out of your head, your tongue unfurl onto the floor, your heart beat through your chest and spring back inside, all while either howling, whistling, or going with the classic "YEAH, BABY!"

    This has worked for me literally every single time.

    You're speaking some truth. It's ridiculous to expect someone to be single-mindedly devoted to their partner. That's a closed loop that personally drive me insane. Both partners should be engaged with life as well as each other. The man in the comic should focus more on his relationship, and the woman should focus less. And yeah, if she was having that big an issue, she should talk about it. The message here isn't very thought out. It could even become harmful.
