Blank slatism for adults isn't extreme, as it isn't limited to EA, nor limited to progressives. It's a part of mainstream Western white culture, e.g., magic dirty theory. Or see for a specific example, a white woman forgiving her mother and cousin's murderer (who's of the demographic one might expect), hiring him to work on her property, only to get murdered by him herself.

How much detail do you think is in the data that governments and tech companies are keeping about us?
-
Are they keeping a log of every website you visit?
-
Are they keeping a log of your phone's 24/7 location data?
-
Are they keeping transcripts of all of your phone calls?
-
Are they keeping transcripts of every word you say in the vicinity of a smart device?
-
etc.?

It's not pedophilia, but we should still call them pedos anyway. However, there's only so far you can push this socially useful equivocation before it starts backfiring. It's likely the path to normalizing real pedophilia as just another sexuality is one where the term "pedo" is broadened to include as many ordinary people as possible, and being attracted to sexually mature 17 year olds (with fully developed secondary sex characteristics) is going to ensnare a lot of ordinary people. The postmodernists got one thing right--you don't have to get new laws passed when you can just change the definitions of words in the existing laws.

Another thing to consider here, is that within the past 20 years, the Catholic Church did suffer tremendous fallout for this thing.
It suffered massive losses in cultural influence, credibility, financial payouts, and legal win against it.
There’s two points here: one is that to the average person, this is a massive point in the “it could happen” column. Justice can be seen at least to a degree that isnt zero.
Second, all the excuses AT is making about technicality of ‘pedo ring’ applied here as well, but didn’t matter to the public perception. was widely regarded and reported as a pedo scandal, when it was mostly gay pederasty. The same mainstream taking down the Church downplayed this, not to justify them, but to avoid crossfire against homosexuality as well as get maximal outrage.
So again, ATs cutsie sneering at MAGAs that “this isn’t how it works” is completely at odds with how it actually did work and recently.

Black Magic Sanction (The Hollows Book 8) by Kim Harrison.
You've clearly never been there.
Confidently asserted, yet wrong. I indeed have been there. While I didn't spend any time with single mothers, prostitutes, or single-mother prostitutes—I did bang a high single digit number of non-single mother, non-prostitute Pinays. And none of them asked me for money (whether directly or indirectly) nor was there any sort of weird drama afterward.
Not that it requires having been to the Philippines nor having any experience with Pinays to spot the red flags described in your thread-starting post. Nor is the theme of women-playing-men-for-money specific to the Philippines, or SEA, or even specific to foreign women with Western men. It doesn't take a chef to suspect if something smells like shit.
And you misinterpreted a lot of what I said. so whatever. thanks for trying I guess.
I thought the sentence right after the one you quoted made it obvious I was joking: "After all, what kind of sick fuck prays?" Wild speculation, I know, but might stubbornly overlooking cues perhaps be a recurring tendency of yours?
You could consider mustering up a fraction of the disagreeability toward her as you've displayed in this thread toward people replying to you.

What's currently the most cost-effective and practical method of getting ahold of Ozempic/whatever weight-loss drug in the US without a diabetes diagnosis?
Also, is it worth messing with oral delivery, or are they flat-out less effective than the injection method?
I'm tired of people lying to me that I'm not fat when I observe the differences in the way the world treats me vs other people every day.
Is there anything interesting going on artistically lately?
Aside from the obvious, that digital artists are getting supplanted by cheap, fast AI images?
I tried searching a bit, and asking ChatGPT, and mostly people seem to be saying that there are a bunch of different things going on, many of which are identity based and fairly boring as far as I'm concerned. The last large movement I liked was probably Impressionism; Art Deco is also pretty good.
People around here mostly paint the hills and skies, which I think is just kind of a default, I don't know if I'd call it a movement. I guess recently I like the atmospheric, somewhat out of focus landscape artists, like Gareth Edwards or Paula Dunn.
