If I remember correctly, the controversy was not over changing her model, but in changing a victory pose that highlighted that part of her model. So they nerfed how much she showed off her butt, basically.

If the recreational use improves your mood, isn’t that a medical purpose too?

Is the line you draw based on the intent of the user or the intent of the provider?

Like, for instance, if someone with ADHD uses caffeine to help them focus better, is that medication? Or, if someone tries a hallucinogen with the intention of opening their mind, is that medication?

A couple more potential examples: Is a trans man using testosterone they purchased on the black market to treat their dysphoria medicating? Is an athlete using the same substance to enhance their performance medicating?

I can certainly vouch for amphetamines*.

*in controlled amounts for people with ADHD

My condolences

When I say Democrats here what I mean is the party leaders and the politicians who align with them (that is, the vast majority of them). There can be individuals who run as Democrats who don’t align with the party, but the party leadership is actively against them. For instance, Zohran Mamdani’s run was opposed by Democrat party leadership. He’s more of an independent than a true Democrat.

Because Democrats are complicit in everything that Republicans do. Democrats exist to create the appearance of opposition, while in reality both parties serve the interests of the wealthy. Uncovering the wealthy class’s depraved deeds does not serve those interests, which is why neither party really wants that.

I think that it is probably good. On the other hand, I don’t think that you necessarily need to build something specifically for that purpose because the internet was basically built from the ground up with anonymity in mind. Some of the internet has moved away from that, but there’s still plenty of capability for people to be anonymous if they want to be.

I suppose that’s probably a way of calling them a baby?

This checks out with some of the casts I’ve seen of Korean Starcraft players.

Easy, just get in an uninsured car accident. Now you’re in debt for the value of someone else’s property.

Ooh, I bet I could 10x my negative wealth pretty easily.

I’d say that capitalism manufactures the chains
