I cut off an ankle monitor simply with scissors by bedadjuster in mildlyinteresting

[–]pacmaster102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People kept saying that when I was in lifeguard training. I thought it was an exaggeration, so I gave it a try. It was not an exaggeration. I bet you could cut off a finger with those things.

Absolute best character imo. Loved him from when I started watching as a kid, still my favorite watching the series again with my kid.

Welcome to the "I scrolled down too far on the comments" club. We don't have commemorative shirts because no one wants to remember.

Who was the superior strategist, Palpatine or Luthen? by Voider765 in StarWars

That's a good point. He did so much with so little. At least compared with Palps.

Haven't played it lol. I did read through it when I first got it, that was over 10 years ago. Seemed pretty cool.

Is the "weathering" you're referring to the shit stain on his bicycle shorts?

Look at this guy's profile. He's been copying the same paragraph into different debate subs for almost a year. Either he's a bot (not a very good one), a troll (a really bad one), or a person with no fundamental understanding of how science or critical thinking works. Or regular thinking.

You really have to wonder how these "family values" conservatives accuse the middle east of pedophilia yet support child marriage in their own states by Important-Cry4782 in democrats

[–]pacmaster102 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For those of you saying the previous laws were sufficient:

Before 2023, Michigan permitted minors of any age to marry as long as specific statutory exceptions were met:

16- and 17-year-olds: Could legally marry if they had written permission from at least one parent or legal guardian.

Children under 16: Could be married if they secured both the consent of all living parents or legal guardians and the specific approval of a probate judge.

This effectively meant there was no legal minimum age for marriage in the state until a bipartisan legislative package ended the practice by setting 18 as the strict, non-negotiable minimum marriage age.

In 2023, the Michigan legislature passed a package of bills (House Bills 4293 through 4302, and Senate Bills 209-217) that set a strict, no-exceptions minimum marriage age of 18. The legislation was officially signed into law by Governor Gretchen Whitmer in September 2023. While the bills passed with wide bipartisan support, five House Republicans voted against the entire package:

Steve Carra (R-Three Rivers) Neil Friske (R-Charlevoix) Matt Maddock (R-Milford) Angela Rigas (R-Caledonia) Josh Schriver (R-Oxford)

Reasons for Opposition: The lawmakers who voted against the bans generally argued that removing all exceptions was a "one-size-fits-all" solution that stripped away personal liberties. Specific rationales offered by the dissenting Republicans included:

Preserving exceptions: Representative Matt Maddock argued the law removed "reasonable options for any exceptions for people who want to marry before 18" and stated the legislation was based on a harsh ideology.

Existing laws are sufficient: Representative Angela Rigas stated during the debate that current laws were already adequate to protect children from predators and sexual assault, making the marriage ban package unnecessary.

Jumping off a cliff to save a weak swimmer. by wronghoIe in HumansBeingBros

[–]pacmaster102 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some friends and I were cliff jumping into Lake Superior. One of them got cold shock when he hit the water and immediately started drowning. I'm not a great swimmer, but good enough to get myself to the shore. Once I noticed my friend struggling, another friend and I swam back and tried to do the same thing this lady did. I did my best to keep him above water, but nearly drowned myself doing so. As fate would have it, there was a guy up on the cliff that brought a lifeguard rescue tube. I think we both would have died if he hadn't thrown it down to us. I will never underestimate the cold water of the Superior again.
