It's called Morgan's Wonderland. The father's company has also built a community center next to the park.

I saw someone complaining that the old X-men show was at least subtle and not in your face about how it approached social issues.

This was in response to a clip from the old X-men show of a bunch of anti-mutant brownshirts in armbands getting mad that a filthy mutant was touching a human woman.

I think it's safe to say that person was not arguing in good faith.

I had gay couples explained to me as a kid over twenty years ago and understood it no problem.

Geometry on the other hand, I still struggle with...

It's kind of similar to numerology and cargo cults. They understand there is a cause and effect, but think that ritualistic actions are the cause to achieve their effect, instead of understanding that actual law is only superficially similar to ritual.

Even allowing for the unproven assertion that souls exist, at no point does that soul obligate giving up bodily autonomy.

You can't use organs from corpses without permission, you can't force a drunk driver to provide an organ to a kid they ran over, you can't force a parent to donate an organ to their own child. All of these things would save "souls" but is hardly part of pro-forced birth platforms.

And if fetuses have souls, that would surely make the Christian god the true murderer as 10 to 20% of all pregnancies end in miscarriages, but the Christian god is held to a lower moral standard than human beings by pro-forced birthers. And the governments that reject welfare programs are also held to lower moral standard for some reason, as well.

In my opinion, when you prioritize money over values, it's just bigotry with more steps.

At least the end result is the same, even if the motivation is potentially different.

Subsistence wage is what you are thinking of, to meet basic biological necessities. A living wage allows for moderate comfort, because there is more to living than just surviving.

If it's a celestial warlock they might be a sub-contractor for the paladin's deity of choice!

That's exactly it. It's a feature meant for convenience that is way too easy to accidentally trigger.

And since most people don't regularly buy/sell on the marketplace, both have no idea what's going on with the automatic message.

There's also Cleo from Math StackExchange. They'd drop answers to complex problems in a couple of hours with no work shown. It took another mathematician days and several pages of work to prove out one of Cleo's answers.

Yea, it's always been weird to me that Batman alone is being judged for not using lethal force. If that were part of any consistent values, wouldn't every person who has had chain of custody of Joker, or even proximity to him, be morally obligated to kill him?

If random cop that has had Joker in handcuffs, or random doctor who has been treating Joker, or even every other super hero on the planet hasn't extra judiciallly executed Joker, why should Batman bear the obligation to do so?

Easy and legal access to exorcisms just incentivizes people to fraternize with demons. People need to understand there are consequences to reckless behavior.
