I have a Timex Computer 2068, a ZX Spectrum clone made my Timex Portugal. My dad bought it sometime in the 80s. I still turn it on from time to time, mostly out of nostalgia. That one is the oldest in my house. I was too young to remember it being bought but it had to be some time between 1985 or 1987.

I also have the first model of the European Sega Master System made in 86 or 87 but I bought it second hand less than a year ago.

Ruler of the Onited Kingdom. I’ll find my way out…

Sure there is. Unlike them, if you break the rules you go to jail.

Now all he needs is a firm handshake!

It does. I’ll write a song with those lyrics.

HEY! Civilian, stop talking about stuff you know nothing about!

In dangerous situations and non-whites (same thing , right) we need LETHAL FORCE to control the situation. If someone us murd…I mean, fatally shot, so be it.

Tasers are just for torture. It’s fun but we can’t be always playing! We’re working here!

Oh yeah? Well, study thi…oh…

So, the game is sorting and answering Stimpy’s fan mail?

This sounds a lot like the Sinking Simulator saga…

Hes ti’ed…

Dad of the year, right here 👆

Students? Even teachers are doing it…

The school I work at is implementing this starting next week.

Except it’s a music school so they can use metronome apps. Also, they can use it to send emails to the copy room to print music sheets. Or to use in class when it’s required. Or for whatever exception they can think of. And they actually expect us to enforce it with all these exceptions.

Yeah, I’m sure it will work /s

Great idea, so simple yet you’re the only one who actually thought of this. You rock!

I think you’re trying to create nuances where there aren’t any.

Sorry, but your case is far from being nuanced. You had an accident and it required reconstruction so it would look normal. Same way circumcision is acceptable when there’s, for example, a really bad case of phimosis.

Forget about your accident. Imagine your parents had shit for brains and no nose because of some sick family tradition. So they wanted a plastic surgeon to amputate your nose so you’d be like them. It’s their choice, right? They get to make that decision in your behalf, right?

Of course, in real life you wouldn’t even get near the scalpel and social services would be on them quicker than you could say “keep the government off my nose”.

So, if a parent wants to perform unneeded plastic surgery on a baby (a nosejob, botox, etc) you think the government should stay out of it because it could end up with the government disallowing a needed surgery arbitrarily (burn victim). That is your argument?

Medical decisions are decided by a medical doctor. This is not hard.

Not if it implies cutting off parts of their body for no medically accepted reason.

If he has a medical issue and circumcision is the solution, sure. If it’s for the common bulshit reasons, hell no, why is that even a question?

Being necessary for medical reasons is a good reason. Doing it because “it gets dirty” and “it looks better” is not. Unfortunately the latter is the most common reason.

I do support everyone’s right to modify their body however they see fit, including gender affirming care

Well…this seems sensible. It’s a personal decision so it’s everyone’s right…

If a parent makes a decision on their baby’s behalf, then that is the parents decision, and no law should be able to dictate otherwise.

Oh, I see. Except the baby.
