Yeah drug dealing still exists in Singapore with the death penalty but it's done with the utmost discretion and even the dealers have strong incentives to minimize social contagion.
Modern western societies can't be soft on drugs without fent zombies somehow occurring

Yeah but having a statute of limitations of 'the rest of their lives' on awkward sexual encounters potentially being redefined as 'rape' is corrosive

Nah watermelon perjoratives have become Palestine focused due to the flag colors and some cultural connotations

You need to contribute your expertise to advancing the siblinghood instead of Haram zero sum financial gambling. Allah weeps seeing an intellect of your scale reduced to such frittering

Even Hades 2 took pretty massive jumps in style and deattractifying the gods compared to the original.

Kazakhstan actually on the up these days in my experience. But also arguably due to being incredibly moderate for a Muslim nation.
Kazakhstan is probably the most bullish I'd be on a Muslim nation at present where it's relying on the success of actual Muslim citizenry

I mean if you're looking to avoid a substantial African minority with violence issues then maybe not Louisiana?

Reverts tend to play it up. Most of the ones I know tend to go over the top and generally if you're passionate enough to suffer adult circumcision...

Decent amount of the time in my experience it'll be family pressure from the husband's parents/extended whilst the husband is nominally more moderate.

Have you been in a helicopter before? Like for me it's a big drop in comfort and practicality in exchange for small time savings. I'd rather just get a normal driver and a luxury vehicle

True but I feel like wireless internet and electric cars were more 'how do we get there' issues than 'this thing is of dubious desirability'. Maybe I'm too bearish on personal floatation but I wouldn't take a helicopter presently even if I were a billionaire when I'm likely getting more or less the same trade-offs with a 'abovestreet legal' flying car

Is the amount of accidents avoidable greater than accidents caused by accidental misfires?

Yeah like great moment but it's thrusters with seemingly very limited capacity. Can't really think of a civilian application even if perfectly stable, reliable and insurable.
I feel like most of the potential impact on my life is very slightly increasing my chances of dying in a very outlandish car crash

Is massive financial fraud irrational? If anything considering the downside in modern society for the individual isn't exactly being executed in the Brazen Bull you can probably come out ahead experientially

Yeah I like Yudkowsky and he was earlier than most in the current model of AI concern but he also struggles with experiencing AI concern as a religious movement that pays his bills

Most ad slots these days are live auctions anyway. Majority of ads you'll get are just retargeting pixels and skew higher margin products

Does seem kinda insane it's taken 17 years to get from shooting to actually undertaking the execution for the most palpably guilty perp possible.
Quick AI search suggests the US government spent atleast $5M between the incarceration, original trial, appeals and that seems to be based on an article from a couple years ago.

I had this observation on John Cleede lately. It's almost difficult to be a milquetoast centrist figure with some vocal medium right views since you'll inevitably be treated like mega Hitler regardless. You either capitulate to the dog pile or just announce every thought

Hard to get it tried but I wonder in Case 1 how a case of genuinely swapped baby identities would be handled. If I was born Aaron Aardvark then a fuck up at the hospital happens and I went home as Brad Billings with another family then didn't realize till me and the other baby were in our thirties then who gets custody of which identity

Yeah similarly a fan of movie recaps especially for horror concepts since I'm not huge into jump scares but frequently curious how a given interesting trailer idea gets developed without wanting to sit through 90 minutes of movie which largely has nothing to do with the sci-fi or fantasy concept in play and is more gore and tension
They definitely exist but generally only as service to the horse racing industry in countries where it's a major thing still.
