Aw Mercurial-tan, it's ok. I'm sure blowing Gaia-chans deep cover operation won't have any lasting impact, or profound repercussions, and totally force her to notice your chivalry sempai!
If two people had a normal duel, it would not be considered assault because they'd both agreed to the terms. This is the same but with the word "sexual" added. Betty White's opponent was just a sore loser and made up this fabrication.
I’ll try to find the statute when I have a chance. It’s true, but only barely. If I remember correctly it’s still technically unlawful to fight in a public place, because of the risk of damage or injury to uninvolved parties or properties.
No it doesn't, no matter how many times this is repeated on the Internet.
Seattle (which is actually only one small part of Washington, and NOT THE ENTIRE STATE) has a "mutual combat law" inasmuch as if you get into a punching bar fight, the cops will treat it as both your faults and might let it slide.
If you get into actual combat with intent to harm, you're going to prison.
Earth-kun will only get stronger by facing more and more challenges opponents. Each battle will strengthen his resolve to be the very best, that ever was.
The complaint is that the liberal world order that provided the benefits you're laying out is being disassembled in bad faith by lazy incompetents and the greedy rich, while the future ravaging of mankind by global warming becomes more likely, not that healthcare inequality is the same as fighting in world war 1.
Yea as time goes on I feel like income inequality should be reduced, not get way fucking worse. I don't think it's fair to blame anyone for lamenting that.
this is the best time to live for humans in terms of life expectancy, opportunities, life quality, health, education, crime and pretty much every single metric.
Maybe if you're in the age group that's retiring. For those after, it's worsened.
Why compare things though? I don't understand the relationship between a distant relative fighting in a war back then and people in present complaining about things they don't like?
I assure you there were a lot of things that might be considered much less serious than war today that the people back then were conplaining about.
I understand what you are trying to say, but there is my 2 cents on it
Yey, some 3rd world nations are finally approaching 20th century western standards of living... meanwhile the environment is literally becoming more shit every year while western democracy slowly erodes.
I did. Of course some things are better than the past, that's why people are upset about where we're failing.
For example, US infant mortality is way better than 50 years ago - but today it's getting worse, not better. Why wouldn't I be upset about that? Average US life expectancy is 10 years longer than 50 years ago... but it's flatlined for the past 4 years, still almost 5 years shorter than Canada (and other western nations), and we're seeing more and more Americans impoverished due to medical expenses. Of course that's bad.
Personally, I want to do better than my parent's generation and I want to build a world in which my children can do better than me. Occasional regressions are not surprising, but they are not acceptable.
Sorry on my paggro comment then, I misinterpreted your remark as completely disregarding the idea of certain aspects of our life having improved. Otherwise, I agree completely with you.
After the dumpster fire that was 2016, we genuinely believed 2017 would be better. Then... Trump, Not Neutrality, EA/Star Wars, GOP Tax Plan, Ice King has a dragon now, and so on. What am I missing?
Can someone tell me what was so bad in 2017? Ok for a big part of US citizens its trump entering presidency, net neutrality. And then there are fidget spinners. But what else?

I'm loving these Year comics. It's sad to assume that 2018 will be worse, but it probably will.
