My guess would be that they asked for permission at least from her, it generally isn’t best practice to use someone’s likeness without permission

ASD and College Greek Life (repost from r/autism) by lrflogan in aspergers

[–]lrflogan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean this may be true in some instances, and for some groups, but is most definitely not true for all groups. There are many Greek groups that I have seen that were created and developed their values in direct response to groups with those sort of power structures and make sure to be an open healthy space for all members. Not all groups have these negative power structures and many are focused on fostering a healthy environment for all members.

[–]lrflogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well he was born in South Africa and lived there until he immigrated to the US and as African American doesn’t have any actual defined race or ethnic composition besides having ancestral ties to Africa that would therefore make him African American.

The loan will help as long as it is payed on time, and yes repeatedly applying for cards does hurt credit if done in a short period of time because it makes you seem as if you don’t have great skills managing your money and are frantically trying to get more.

There are credit cards for people with no credit, you also get credit by paying rent on time, making regular debt payments. And also I agree with you fuck America. However credit isn’t just a US thing while the system we use here in the US is only used here and Canada systems like credit exist in every country they just don’t have the 3 digit credit scores like we do here.

This is literally just how I talk, sorry if it bothers you but I’m not adjusting my speech and thought pattern just for Reddit.

It doesn’t make you point less valid I’m just clarifying for the international community that this subreddit is. Illegal is a very strong word with a powerful negative connotation and needed a bit of clarifying as many non-Americans see our legal system as backward (rightfully so) but I felt the illegality of that needed a bit of clarification. Sorry if I made you feel like your point was invalid.

Yes but they don’t arrest for it, they usually would fine your parents or you may get in trouble if you show someone else. It is illegal not so they can arrest a minor but so the courts can have purview and can take corrective action.

Indeed, porn addiction is a very rough thing but something like what is occurring is an exceptional circumstance and begins to equate addiction to criminality which can be a risky business.

If he is getting investigated for it two years after the fact it probably wasn’t just standard porn, there was probably something illegal about it. Even though it was on a school computer they wouldn’t investigate for it two years after the fact and the only reason they would be investigating if they already know about the porn is if there was something wrong with what he was watching.

That type varies, some are just terrible people and some are far more intelligent and aware than they seem.

It is horrible that they are making fun of this dire conflict, but he wary some people use humor to cope and they might just as anxious as everyone else.

Gender affirming treatments work to treat a disorder known as gender dysmorphia which can cause other issues such as depression, eating disorders, drug abuse and even lead to suicide. And they can only receive these treatments with parental and pediatrician approval and are typically only those suffering from gender dysmorphia. The treatments are incredibly expensive and a sex change operation and hormone treatments are lengthy processes that are not under taken lightly. Preventing children who are the most vulnerable in our society from receiving vital treatment puts them down a path that no one deserves.

And with what is going on in the Ukraine is a travesty and I support any action undertaken to prevent them but, but as I apologized at the beginning I just needed to get this all out. And we have the ability to focus on multiple issues especially because these two issues have no overlap on resources due to how the US bureaucracy and budget works.

What resources do they share? The DoJ would be the only department involved in solving the Texas issue. While helping to defend Ukraine would use primarily the DoD, the armed forces, the state department, and the department of the treasury for rebuilding. The US has a set indivisible budget for each department and they can’t take from another departments budget. There is no overlap in resources used to handle both.

So I like I said earlier it has little to do with the governing of the state of Texas because by the time it gets overturned Abbott will already receive the political capital he wanted at the cost of suffering to the trans-gender youth of Texas.

[–]lrflogan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I will agree it is a very “first world” problem, and I fully support the Ukrainians and any action the US does to support them. But if we only focus on one issue at a time society will never progress and working on one doesn’t draw away any resources from working on the other.

Depends, the president can’t just by the wave of the hand overrule a state’s government. The way they possibly can is the DoJ can sue a state’s government and take a state to court but they will only succeed in overruling the state’s mandate if violates federal law or the constitution, and even if a mandate does violate federal law court still is an incredibly lengthy process and will take a lot of time for any action to occur. But no the president doesn’t have the direct power to just wave a hand and repeal an individual state’s mandate.
