Because if you let women have authority, people might start believing things like "men are not automatically good without needing to actually do good things" and "authority isn't instantly derived from the circumstances of your birth but instead based on your merits as a leader".

Oh, same. I did a no-kill Neutral run, went back and got my True Pacifist ending and I'm satisfied.

Gonna finally play Deltarune Ch. 2 soon because I've also been putting that off for way too long.

I mean, I know why I haven't yet in spite of also having played the game since beta.

... It's because I'm lazy and hate grinding for materials.

True Pacifist Undertale just the other day. Which, to be fair, took me something like two years to get around to doing because I was way too lazy to deal with some of the ending fights of Neutral route.

Now I have the itch to go back and play EarthBound again... Which may be related to the lo-fi Mother 2 mix that got posted earlier today over in the Music community.

Two trips to the store—
Because I forgot TP—
Under a warm sun.

I'm still tickled hours later at how eager folks were to figure that out. :D

Oh, yeah. I realize that there's a lot of nuance at play. It's just that I'm a historian who grew up in the Deep South, so I'm well aware that whatever other excuses and loopholes are used, it's ultimately all about trying to reinstate segregation by another name. Because it always is.

Roberts’ opinion brought a strongly worded dissent from conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, who accused the majority — including his colleague Brett M. Kavanaugh — of creating a “consciously segregated districting system” in the name of the Voting Rights Act.

I really want to know what he thinks the current system is if it's not that.

Exactly. Or even just a "They didn't nab me, so I must be important enough to protect" for the ones who are deep in the paint.

Unfortunately, they’re capable and willing to make their own safe spaces for themselves

I mean, the lovely thing about them doing that is that it then becomes increasingly easy to identify and communicate which places are cesspools to be avoided and also to mitigate access when possible. Quarantining isn't really an option when everyone's on one big website, but it's a lot easier when folks are running their own boards and building their own communities.

I'm sure there's at least gonna be a couple of eyes looking out for that because they are exactly the kind of people who'd show up to this expecting no one'll arrest them.

I am pleased for my role in performing science today. :D
