I don’t think Joker 2 had a test screening

If everyone had Wednesday off you would need to contend with the public though.

Giga Chad move.

Stardew Valley had one that said something to the effect of “fixed the Geneva convention violation”

I laughed so hard I cried. Like Kvyat does. To sleep every night.

If you’d be up for modern fantasy you might enjoy Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere, or American Gods.

For high fantasy, Brando Sando has violence aplenty but not sex. I really like the Stormlight Archives.

I also wouldn’t write off the Shattered Sea series by Joe Abercrombie. Yes, they’re labelled YA but it just makes them easier to binge.

I didn’t even know about the pouch stuff, I thought you were saying his weird lumpy anatomy and I thought yeah that tracks.

TIL! Thank you.

Isn’t a factoid something that sounds true but is actually false?

He clearly hasn’t read Hannibal. Where is this late, great coming from?

The context of ancient Rome?

Futurama!

I stan Scylla! -chomp-

But his hair plugs were so painful!

Hey friend, I fully agree with your stance. I was going through the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms and was actually surprised by how much is permitted. I always thought that Canada’s freedom of expression laws were more restrictive than other places- as I have heard of people (non-Canadians) being banned from the country based on their conduct.

Specifically, falsehoods are protected "Being content-neutral, the Charter also protects the expression of both truths and falsehoods (Canada (Attorney General) v. JTI-Macdonald Corp., [2007] 2 S.C.R. 610 "

So that was disappointing. Also, there have been similar cases in the past with homophobic flyers that were deemed legal because the content did not meet the threshold to be considered hate speech.

I wonder whether it would be permissible to distribute flyers that say “stop cancer treatment for children! God doesn’t make mistakes!” Borrowing the verbiage from the flyers in the article.

I’m feeling very disappointed at the moment. I don’t disagree with the mom’s actions at all. The content was fundementally abhorrent to her beliefs (and science).

Y’all I just fell down a rabbit hole. I understood that Canada has a limited right to expression- meaning hate speech is prohibited, and checked the New Brunswick’s human rights act- gender expression and gender identity are protected classes.

BUT it seems really similar to this case: https://decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/12876/index.do where the court ruled that the material was not hateful enough to be hate speech? I wonder if the best thing to do is make their own (better) flyers promoting love. It’s unfortunate- falsehoods are actually protected under freedom of expression.

I can’t imagine how devastating it must be for that mother to have to handle and disperse materials that challenge her daughter’s right to exist and live in a way that makes her feel safe. I understand the importance of freedom of expression rules, but I have a feeling that if these flyers were going out saying that children with other medical conditions shouldn’t be receiving care, or children with disabilities shouldn’t receive accomodation in the classroom, there would be more of an uproar. It’s so sad that one group of children seems to be an acceptable target.

Friend, I would highly recommend watercolour paper! I’m glad you ordered some- it’s going to be night and day from your previous attempts. Canvas is best for acrylic or oil. You could get away with gouache on canvas board but not with watercolour effects, gotta keep the paint a little thicker.

I’m so distracted by your adorable salad tongs!

Hey- thank you for this. I apologize and thank you for the call out. It sounded so fantastical that I completely distanced myself from the fact that these are real children being taken advantage of and used for evil.

This is super interesting. Do you have any more information about these child assassins? Like an article to read? Or an anime I can watch?
