I’m probably going to get some hate for this one, but Spider-Man: Across The Spiderverse. The story wasn’t as tight as the first movie, they introduced too many new characters to keep up with, and it ended with a setup for the next movie.

As a Rust programmer, I approve this message. Tumbling through a turbine repeatedly would be less stressful than working on a large python/js codebase.
Meandering about and pestering people with questions while having an internal dialogue with personified concepts.
Might want to add River Tam from Serenity as well.
I’d watch the shit out of this.
Get on FetLife and find a local lgbtq-friendly bdsm group. In my experience, the venn diagram of lesbian/bisexuals into bdsm and the occult community in any given area is just a circle. Bring baked goods to the munches and ask about local covens. Once you’ve established yourself as not a creep, it shouldn’t be that hard to put the word out about the grimoires.
I’ve done about half of this, but I’m not into witchcraft.
Went to a doctor for a twisted ankle, who told me that my feet had exaggerated arches. When asked what that meant (as in- medically, what problems could that cause) he laughed and replied that it meant I had “ugly fucking feet”.
All Things Distributed
I’ve watched Year One exactly once. In a tent in rural Afghanistan lol.
You said you wanted a say when you advocated for that policy in the first place
What policy? Go find the thing that I said that you think is me advocating for overriding the will of kids and their parents, and just quote it at me.
Where did I say that I wanted a say? We were talking about whether kids should be free to make all of their own decisions. I’m using bad decisions with food as an example, and you’re accusing me of trying to tell other people what to do, then calling me an authoritarian.
I’m not fighting, I’m just checking out of the conversation. Go fuck yourself.
You’re asserting that they have a right to make all of their own decisions, then asserting that I don’t believe in a free society unless I agree. Neither of these things is obviously true- it’s possible to support children having some decisions made for them without supporting totalitarianism.
See my other reply for examples of kids making their own decisions. Do you support all of those?
I would bet that the obesity rate among children if they didn’t have parents deliberately trying to get them into sports and making them meals at home would be almost 100%. You’re saying “this affects everyone” which is technically correct but ignores that it almost certainly affects one group much more.
I probably come down more in the side of coops and unions than government, but yeah, that’s probably more doable than an attempt at a ban.
Yeah, fair. My parents were painfully religious and harassed me unmercifully because I wasn’t, so I’m not saying it’s all sunshine and roses. But leaving kids free to do whatever they want seems like it would have an attrition rate similar to turtles running for the ocean.
I was intending to make a more general point about the ability of children to make their own decisions. Obviously, I think the idea of punishing people for being unhealthy is ridiculous.
Also, I appreciate the optimism, but I don’t think capitalism would go away if you banned it.
I like the copyright idea described above. I’m not sure how well it would work in practice, because I’ve never heard of anything like that being implemented, and new solutions almost always have problems. It’s interesting though.
Regarding the kids making their own decisions thing- my example was intended to be a little funny, so I may not have picked the best one. Instead of the ice cream example, what about sex with adults? Sex changes? General amputation? Living on their own? Cigarettes? Harder drugs?
These are all things that kids can have opinions about, all things are mostly changes to their own body or bodily freedom, all things that can have terrible long term consequences. Should we prevent parents from controlling their kids, and allow the children to decide whether they want to do any of these?
Sometimes the finding-out part of the fuck-around-and-find-out experience is an irreversible addiction that there’s no coming back from. Parents aren’t always better, obviously, but they probably avoid more permanent harms for their kids than the kids would in their own.
While I’m in board with the sentiment, I think there would be a lot of implementation problems with this. Just off the top of my head:
I’m a parent, and my kid isn’t competent to make decisions about his own body. Given the right to do what he wanted with it, he would immediately eat ice cream until he threw up, then do that every day in between gaming sessions until he died from diabetes.
Existing laws being reviewed is a good idea, but I could see politicians with a slight majority holding fundamental laws hostage to extract concessions from other parties. You can work around this, but it could be difficult to avoid gotchas.
Do we include right to free movement in the sovereign territory point? Because we have a large prison population. I’m on board with dismantling most of that, but there will probably always be people that need to be restrained from harming others.
What counts as communication? Because if I can put a character on a shirt and sell them cheaper than the independent creator on patreon or wherever, most of their profits go away. I can subscribe and support them, then turn around and sell their work on the same website. I’m not a huge fan of copyright, but it did/does have a purpose beyond endless abuse by Disney.
As for the wealth tax thing, I don’t care if it has implementation issues lol
You pasted the last paragraph twice.
