She has accused him both of rape and of grooming her. What on earth do you think her punching him in the stomach while he forcibly deep throated her was supposed to be?

This has been highlighted in the news coverage.

Both child grooming and emotional and sexual assault are illegal in the UK, bizarre as this may seem to you.

Disconcertingly close to the truth tbh.

Yes, it was a chest freezer with one of those little filing cabinet locks. It genuinely never occurred to mum that her eight year old could pick it with her hairpin.

... Have you honestly, genuinely never heard of test tube babies? Do you not realise we've had them since the 70s?

Think about that, then realise we had all this shit about "but the poor children" back then, for that, and none of it ever materialised because nobody gives a shit or ever knows the difference or cares at all.

It's no different than giving birth by c-section, or indeed vaginally. There is no difference.

Who the hell is getting bullied for being a test-tube baby?

We had all this shit in the 70s before the first IVF baby, and to the best of my knowledge, bullying over it has simply never been a thing.

Thank you! What a great explanation. I'm always amazed by how much cooler things are than I expect.

I've got to ask, though—how is breathing CO2 pollution? Aren't we just taking in air, removing the oxygen, and exhaling the waste gases? Isn't there the same net CO2 afterwards?

Have I misunderstood something as simple as breathing? Please say no.

I figured out one of those locks when I was eight. Used to unlock the freezer with a paperclip

Jesus. I can from time to time, I used to be a regular on /r/canning. The attention to detail re food safety was one of the best things about the sub, as you really can kill yourself and others if you piss about.

I mean, I'd never use Notepad. Download Notepad++, it's better in literally every way.
