East Tennessee had for long had quarrels with the rest of the state. The culture and economic differences caused great strife between the regions. But it had railroads vital to connect VA with the rest of the south without going around the mountains.
Look at you owning a rooftop to put solar on.
A lot of americans are renters and that number is unfortunately growing.
In america? Litterally everywhere. Even driving down the highway would get trickle charging.
If your expecting to fully charge from the panels, youre gonna have a bad day. But every extra mile would overcome the cost over its lifetime.
Investigated for having a monopoly? Probably.
Why stop at phones? Practically every car made today has a 4g modem and gps module onboard.
I think there is a misunderstanding. Im saying some people have a disconnect with others. Yes, you cant go far in the world without sexual things plastered everywhere… but theres people that dont really understand why that is.
A little anecdote story… a few months ago, I was messing around with AI art, and I genned some “waifu” art that wasnt even very lewd. I shared it with some friends and their response was “aw shes cute, I would totally go on a date with her”, and I felt a bit happy that I could relate with them. but then, they made the additional comment “and afterward, take her back to my place and have fun ;)”. it really caught me off guard and thought to myself “wait what? oh… I forgot people do that…”. Now if the art was indeed lewd, it wouldnt suprised me as I understand the context well enough to make assumptions…
im not really sure my example helps you to understand. it’s difficult to really explain honestly.
If you are a monk who has committed to celibacy and given up money, who only eats what people put into your begging bowl, money and sexuality are still apart of your life. I’m arguing that it is impossible to separate our sexuality from our existence.
Celibacy is a choice. they must acknowledge their desires and then reject it. What im saying is theres nothing to reject because it never comes to mind.
Sexuality may be a big part for some people’s lifes. But for others, it has virtually no part. Breathing is an intergal part of being alive, but you’ll spend 99.9% of you life never thinking about it. Sure its there, its a thing… but unless you actively think about it, it doesnt actually effect who you are.
My comment about IVF was tongue and cheek as the person i replied to was being pendatic. Im aware most people are conceived via sex. But thats not really whats the point or the emotions that is being depicted in movies now is it?
perhaps if you exclude IVF babies.
It’s just a portrayal of a pretty massive part of life that everyone seems scared of or something. I just don’t get that.
Perhaps if it was included for character development between two individuals, you might have a point. But a lot of time its just shoehorned and out of place. Also, for the record, its not a major part of life for many people, which creates even more disconnect.
Thats merely an excuse to keep them as “illegal” and maintain a poltical boogeyman.
everyone thinks they are the leopard eating faces until a bigger leopard eats their face.
Just a reminder, there were “Jews for Hitler”. We can guess what happened to them after hitler rose to power.
Conservatives have always been about creating and maintaining have exploitable underclass. First it was owned slaves, then prisoner slaves, than “illegal” immigrants.
Man… id love to buy an overpriced house for $100k. Now their like $400k+
Unless you take a picture of an… copyrighted landmark…
Idk if its changed, but you cant edit or delete messaged un steam. That was a huge turn off for me
Depends on your use case.
In contrast, something like a kei truck wouldn’t be easy to get street legal as a new car in the US: no crumple zone and higher center of gravity are more fundamental safety issues that can’t easily be engineered around.
Meanwhile every landscaper is buying brand new Isuzu trucks that are just larger version of kei trucks. The reason they arent legal isnt saftey, but it would eat into the profits of the big 3.
The justice system has already failed. A convict is about to be handed the most powerful position in the world…
