Remember the dark years from 2016-2020? Doom scrolling became a huge thing back then. It’s not going to stop if we fall back, again. It’ll be doom scroll after doom scroll of rights being stripped, of the president looking like a fool globally, etc. never ending shit storm.

If the other person gets elected? Someone’s going to complain that she got her nails done on taxpayer dollars.

If it was someone who wasn’t explicitly cis, then also the LGBT+ community is coming after our children. Their anti-Christian agenda and hate is anti-American. And they were obviously trans. Don’t forget that, too.

I mean, New York has a pretty big history with terrorism. There’s a whole wiki page of it.

I fucked my way through HS, and graduated with a 2.7 something. I fought hard at college to get a 3.2 by graduation. And I didn’t even go STEM. I wouldn’t have ever had scholarships or been able to be a traditional student without the military. I’m not making too much, but the opportunities I’ve had have come from this option, and that test. For some people a career and opportunity can be found here. Especially those poorer or lower income individuals I work with, people who were set up for failure or had it worse than I did.

Our school offered it, and you got out of your other classes to take it. I’m still in the military, some 18 years later, and I’d still suggest it for everyone as an option like mine was. I wouldn’t even feel too badly about schools requiring it. It’s just another test, without any obligation after. But, for a lot of lower income families, and for students who don’t perform too well, this opens another option for them after they graduate. Especially one that, with some potential risks to your body or life… could absolutely pay for your college.

Are they still bringing modding to console? I’ve been waiting to complete act three for mod support. I want to mod back the Drow I killed.

Ethan Hawke’s Predestination deals with this, but with time travel instead of cloning. That being said, the incest issue is less about the genetics of it, since its generations over time that becomes the problem (see any royal inbreeding family across time and fiction) vs a one-off situation (for genetics). The bigger issue is the psychological trauma of the abuse of siblings or parents/older relatives.

If we go back to ‘is it or is it not incest’ instead of ‘is incest bad, genetically or psychologically’… I’d say no. Its masturbation. You’re having sex with yourself, and (hopefully) willingly.

“Russia, if you’re listening…” he can say whatever he wants, no one cares. They’d rather complain about Kamala flip-flopping, which makes sense that she would change her stances to gather more support… or that she’s just a continuation of the current administration.

What if they gender swapped their clone?

For half a second I freaked out, then saw the community. Ooof, this one damn near got me with the realism.
