I would immediately cite anti-LGBTQIA+ sentimentality as the contributing factor. While lots of people understand that homosexuals aren’t the only people who can contract the infection, I’m sure the treatments being aimed primarily at homosexuals as the highest risk group, will make certain people unwilling to believe it is a potential risk.

It sucks that safe sex isn’t a thing being discussed. However it does feel like anti-abortion laws would be unnecessary if teens had access to sought information. I’m sure with the advent of Internet based pornography, teens are being influenced more by that with no educational tools to say that people in pornography (I am sure not everyone across the industry follows health guidelines but for the “professionals” you’d hope they do) have access to testing and other health related care.

If we are going to be cynical about this, one reason I suspect sex education is no longer being thought would be to fall inline with twisted alt-right/conservative values about women NEEDING to have children. With lack of information about contraception, teens might believe they can’t be safe. Maybe they actually have access to contraception but aren’t aware. Maybe contraception is being banned. If you have no contraception, then the rate of pregnancy will increase and maybe those anti-abortion lawmakers wish to see more unwanted pregnancies instead of anyone wishing to engage in recreational sex that doesn’t aim for procreation.

I guess none of you noticed the editorial board has a signature from Ted Kaczynski, aka Unabomber.

I’ve been rewatching Steven Universe. This reminds me of the corrupted gem monsters.

There is a Tabletop episode for Star Trek Catan which has his son Ryan and Jeri Ryan as the guest. Had to mention that.

Maybe when the first was written, sequels weren’t even considered yet?

Look, he wanted to meet Jack and he got to meet Jack. I’m happy for Wil.

Tickets are already available. I bought mine today. Check your theater(s).

I’ve heard supposedly those people got severely taxed for doing that.

Taxes? I don’t know full details or if this is even tangentially related (or maybe it is the same thing). There is a supposed practice as some universities (maybe just the non-UC’s and Cal State’s) that if you were a relative (I’m assuming immediate family only) working at say USC for example, you could get accepted into the university without paying tuition. The only catch was you got severely taxed (something like 30%; of what, I don’t know) for attending tuition-free.

On top of this the first movie is getting a re-release November 3 and 6 for the 10th anniversary. I bought my ticket. Didn’t see this in theaters.

I’ve only seen Chapter 3 and 4 in theaters. Definitely want to see this.

I’ve heard of people being told to drink vinegar to try and pass a THC test.
