I was wondering if he was still around and he is but he had a bunch of paintings stolen a couple years ago while he was in the hospital.

maybe they weren't, since not spanking children leads to better outcomes for them. Emotionally and cognitively.

Researchers are also finding that physical punishment is linked to slower cognitive development and adversely affects academic achievement

My take is that conspiracies happen, but I'm not smart enough to pick them out. If there's legit evidence (the real trouble is deciding what that means), though, I can believe it.

Some billboards warn voters to “STOP Child Gender Surgery,” even though the amendment doesn’t mention gender-affirming care. Other billboards say it would permit abortions in the ninth month of pregnancy, though a state appeals court ruling in a case challenging the wording of the amendment’s summary on the ballot said that was not true.

So, they're just plainly lying, huh. I was wondering how they tied the things together, but they're just straight up lying to try and use general antitrans sentiment to get people to vote against their interests.

Just, classic tactics from them.

A three-judge panel on Thursday ruled that Tennessee doctors who provide emergency abortions to protect the life of the mother cannot have their medical licenses revoked or face other disciplinary actions while a lawsuit challenging the state’s sweeping abortion ban continues.

...

However, the judges also said that because they are a chancery court, they do not have the jurisdiction to block the criminal statute inside the ban — where violators face felony charges carrying a prison sentence as high as 15 years.

This means that while doctors will not face disciplinary actions from the Attorney General’s office and the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners, they could still risk criminal charges under Thursday’s ruling.

the violence!!!

Honestly, I do wonder sometimes. Especially since a relative was diagnosed recently and it turned out another relative was diagnosed as a kid. Ah, well.

If it's not trying to sell me something, or sell me on something, it's just a story. So it just matters if it's entertaining.

I do enjoy the loop of it and the satisfaction when a letter from a guess helps figure out the next guess. But I usually don't bother unless I'm stuck in place for some reason, because it is a lot.

I watched someone play a bunch of these and her theory is they were inspired by that pt silent hills demo

Huh! I thought it seemed lacking, comparatively, but I wasn't sure if I was missing some titles.

Thanks for the info!
