Just this one. I don't want to juggle more passwords than are really necessary, and I'm not too worried at the idea of others scrolling down my profile and seeing that I'm a furry, a TF fan, and sometimes an outwardly sexual person when the situation allows it.

The "before I cave in" remark is probably just about failing the "avert my eyes" thing and looking at the women in the Mat 5:28, committing adultery in your heart kind of way. From a Catholic perspective OOP's concerns are completely reasonable as even thinking about sex too hard is supposed to send you to the forever torture zone. I doubt this guy is a hair trigger away from committing SA but the situation is disturbing in a few other ways

Besides the immediate threat of mass rioting and an armed resistance no matter who you're flogging, public torture as entertainment is a very, very bad precedent to set, and only serves to build up a culture of antipathy. Imagine how the wider justice system would change once that's normalized.

Trimmed down version of my 'sona's full name "lythlphene" which I came up with kinda randomly in a weird creative mood early in the morning, it's intended to mean something like "earthy creature". I decided that I shouldn't change or tweak it afterwards since I would have just kept overthinking it and never been satisfied

Ex-conservative here, this reeks of an extremely angry person hoping to prove something about social contagion and "trans people want to bring femaleness back to 50's stereotypes", and minus the comedy at the end of the first paragraph this is roughly how I would have written it about 10 years ago if I'd had the guts to lie to hundreds of people. Read their post and comment history (before they delete their account) for other signs like "I experienced misogyny and it gave me awesome gender euphoria"

A struggle against prejudice and xenophobia on a much greater level than humans have with only one species, debates on whether it's ethical for a couple to produce an anthro mule or other infertile hybrid, any modern mixed-species regions would need a very complex design to accommodate everyone's different biological needs even if all the anthros are nearly the same size, the study of evolution would be a lot of fun because a diverse anthro world requires many distinct intelligent species to emerge very close in time to one another, endless other worldbuilding opportunities

I'm contacting you from an alternate timeline to tell you that I'm still angry

No, and for my one-minute abridged defense:

  • Gen 1-2 definitely didn't happen and were written by two different groups with different religious views using two different creator-god names
  • Noah's Ark definitely didn't happen, and the story repeats itself all the time because it crushes together the Yahwist's and Elohist's writing in a manner especially suggestive of natural human authorship
  • New Testament claims that the human lineage is as young as is reported in Gen 2 (Luk 3:38) and has Jesus - presumably the same entity as God - suggest multiple times in two gospels that the great flood was a real event

That's about enough to deconvert already, and it keeps getting worse the deeper you take things

I wonder what it sounds like to physically speak something in parentheses

Congratulations, you've invented the Martingale betting system and are well on your way to becoming an adept probability theorist

The short answer is that casinos account for this by changing the profit returns and the odds of making a profit at all so that catastrophic losses are much more likely

pros: exceedingly small chance that the one decision-maker and everyone who succeeds them are correct about everything all the time and we reach utopia

cons: likely genocide

In case you didn't know, you can turn off promotional emails in Settings -> Dashboard -> Email Subscriptions or by adding a mail filter to push them all into an advertisement folder, and the other ads can be mitigated by hitting "don't show this offer again" on each one
