Little evidence that I was abused as a child too, must not have happened.


I am deeply sorry for your experience and I totally understand that it triggers something, but let's be ice cold logical for a moment.

If there is no evidence of a crime, you cannot prosecute someone in a constitutional democracy.

If you could you could just make up any claims and get rid of people you simply despise.

Which happens in various regimes...

So although it's certainly a possibility that such cases happened, as long as there is no evidence that they happened, they didn't for all legal matters.


We are discussing the pardon power, an explicitly anti-democratic measure that is unilateral and unreviewable. The constitution defines a federal republic, not a democracy.


Not everything originally in the Constitution is a good idea, or at least isn't anymore. That's why it specifies an amendment process.


I wish detractors would follow the Article V process rather than amendment by usurpation, as George Washington condemned it.


I'm sorry that you experienced that. I understand the importance of listening to abuse victims. However, if child sacrifice did happen, it seems unlikely to ever be proven. I do not think that the case against Epstein or his associates is strengthened by assuming every accusation is true. For people who are not thinking about the subject carefully, learning that some accusations are inflated may cast others into doubt. What is provable is heinous enough.


I love ghostty and I love this


Yo this is brilliant.


I just started this today and wow


Just shipped my first film for a client's auction gala that was received with high praise! Now itching for more video production. We overproduced it with 4k drone footage, multiple multicam interviews, and I got some incredible b-roll.

So fun!


My brain/memory turned on full lucid at age 2ish. I remember dreams in vivid detail, can draw you pictures of houses ive been in, all sorts of conversations my parents had.

I'm writing a memoir right now, since I dont know what else to do to shed this since it's pretty horrible stuff I remember.


These numbers are not scary.


The attack animations are superb. I did not defeat the power warp core but I will. Seeing power warp core get the question wrong is satisfying. Looking forward to future updates!


I explained frames/layers to him and an hour later he was showing me the flying snake. I was absolutely shocked at the result. The animations and character design is all his own creations - parents had no input.

He has a link on his website to sign up for updates. He'll type up a note when the next version is out.


Specifically this is how American English works. From composition to pronunciation. It's a beautiful mess <3


It's how all languages work. Some languages have bodies that like to pretend they can regulate them, but it doesn't actually work.


ACE 8. I didn't know this was a thing and took a test which accurately described my entire childhood with every question.

I don't know where to go from here? I want the daily pain to stop.


Hi there, I would start with looking up complex trauma and looking for a therapist in your area who specializes in EMDR and parts work for complex trauma (I'm a therapist myself). The book The Body Keeps the Score provides a ton of information and good tips/strategies as well. Lots of luck and healing is possible.


Thank you! Will do.
