Pedophiles near to always try to rationalize their predatory impulses with a heavy sprinkling of blame the victim, or anything other than themselves.

If you engage one of them in therapy, it’s the mental equivalent of trying to grab onto one of those old “water weenie”s. They were “lured” by that “crafty” child. She’s an “old soul” and knows how to play men. The old soul bit is a repetitive theme. Maybe they have bad genes. They were abused and now can’t help but to pay it forward. If the system would give them a therapist who was any good then maybe they could actually stop. Those that do get there and admit the full horror of their past actions will often try to suicide or self mutilate.

I don’t see the dipshits who post that it’s “natural” or “to look at history” as much different.

We are in an era that has, for the last 50 yrs, decided that women & girls are people, not property. Slavery was wrong. And so was tying women to men as property. And so is marrying a child. And so is marital rape of that child.

“Looking at history” can only be done through the lens of property, not people, and that is disgusting. Entitled, horrific & disgusting.

There’s a mad flail happening, to be sure, because a subset of old men caught in inertia from prior ages keep spewing this crap at their boys who then grow up thinking entitled things alongside an irrational avoidance of therapy and therapeutic paths. Or rich men who are simply entitled. The Venn diagram here though, between the two, is almost fully overlapped.

It’s a feature of pedophilia that they try to rationalize to themselves and anyone who will listen.

I’m no lawyer. Here’s a question. Would the federal case a jury trial?

I’m trying to figure out if there’s an advantage to futzing the state case. Corporate America wants this man’s blood.

I would support a better version of this.

Deficit is a major piece. They talk about it and then invariably increase it every time.

RNC lowers taxes, technically, but only ever in a way that hurts working class. DNC leave it all as is, never changing the bottom line.

First draft meme, here.

Reddit is repetitive and tiresome on the main subs. It’s so bot driven. There are so many ads. Spaz is a dipshit.

That said Lemmy still lacks the small, niche subs, which are still ok over there due to small numbers.

That said Lemmy will get the numbers for those niche subs if we all join and contribute.

The Republican Party has always had a clear, sustained pedophilic pattern to its behavior.

I have my old Speak & Spell. It still works.

They can’t stop squeezing the working class for every last penny.

The last thing we need are more corporate DNC democrats. Leave this guy alone, let us see how he does.

I do love (now) obscure sci fi references. Whatever happened to Michael York?

There should be a mandatory retirement age of 70 for all 3 branches.

Turning 70 before your potential 4 yr term would be up? Then you cannot run. Same for the senate. We would know ahead of time which Presidential term would be replacing SCOTUS, unless that justice chose to retire early.

No. Matthew Crooks went after him because of his suspicion of Trump being in the Epstein Files.

Rosie was brought by Trump, in association with a heinously treasonous idea, to distract from Trump’s association with the Epstein Files.

Distraction is Trump’s preferred tool when he’s scared or grifting.

Let’s hope someone has the means to sue in civil court.

In addition, another doctor can put this fraudulent MD in front of the board, on their license, and see where that goes. This incident doesn’t have to end here.

One of his followers did try to shoot him for it. Strange, the shooter’s reasons were not well publicized.

If you’re in a state with ballot measures, then you could campaign for rules against single family home HOAs.

I know I’m going to regret this but please post a link so I can read more.

What is wrong with Texas’ public services? First that electricity debacle, now they can’t send an alert?

I’m standing by my theory that the powers that be in this country want to prune We The People down, passively.

Of course, but it sets an example, proves to people that Linux can be mainstream and usable well beyond the corners where that mindset already exists.

It’s excellent advertising and promotion.

Fillion’s response is gold.

Imperfect Foods used to deliver weekly, perishables included, and they ended up being bought out by Misfit Market. Now, it’s overpriced crunchy product, like shopping Whole Foods from home instead of saving on ugly carrots, grapefruit sized cabbage, and overstock.

They’re not out of business yet. There is a market for perishables and produce delivery. and people are used to Amazon so they may win on this, sadly.

This is what is needed to push back on Microsoft.
