  • I don’t care about prosecuting or criminalising in this case. There is already precedent for rehabilitation both voluntary, and in the case where a person’s safety is at risk, involuntary.

    I don’t see why this could not be expanded to include the safety of an unborn child.

    Noting specifically that I am talking about drug abuse where a woman intends to carry to term, not about locking women up to force them to give birth. I hate that I even have to clarify, but if experience had taught me anything, people on social media get positively orgasmic when they find something they can willfully misinterpret.


  • …it exposes the consequences of the “fetal personhood movement”, which seeks to legally define fertilized eggs, embryos and fetuses as people. The concept, enshrined in expanding anti-abortion laws, has led to increased surveillance and criminalization of pregnant people, with women punished for the outcomes of their pregnancies or other actions that police claim endangered their fetuses.

    The way the detention staff acted in this is frankly disgusting. That being said, I don’t think it is entirely fair to equate Alabama’s frankly stupid abortion legislation with assigning a certain level of rights to a foetus. If a mother intends to carry to full term and is using drugs, I don’t think it is fair to the foetus-soon-to-be-person to ignore this.

    Who here would like to try and explain to a victim of foetal alcohol syndrome or prenatal opioid exposure that their suffering is morally acceptable because their mother had the right to choose?

    It doesn’t always need to be one extreme or another, there is a middle ground.


  • Game is kind of ‘meh’ at the moment. I paid more for this game than any other in my life, yet I am disappointed in what it’s achieved.

    The outpost mechanic is completely and utterly pointless, inventory management is a disgrace, questlines are forced and inflexible.

    I will revisit in 6 months or so in the hope that modders finish making the game that Bethesda started. I have learnt my lesson to not buy a Bethesda game straight away though.

    Sorry, you must have a special character. Oh... Not THAT special character, it has to be a special special character, that one isn't valid. Ah, no, that one's too long. It should be shorter. It needs to be between 11 and 11.5 characters.

    Half the time I now just enter random nonsense until it lets me create an account. Then, when I want to access a website/app again, I just ‘forget’ my password and reset it to some other random nonsense.
