↩  Telesphoreo did some googling and details seems limited so far.

Best info I found with little searching was https://www.theguardian.com/us…s-us-politics-latest-news and the tldr seemed to be

However, the president’s emphasis on voting also underscores the limitations on the federal government. While the executive order calls on agencies to protect access to the abortion pill, patient privacy, abortion clinics in states where it remains legal and interstate travel, intervention from Congress is necessary to restore the rights of people who can become pregnant in state that have already banned the procedure.

↩  DragonSlayer2189 if i wanted to I could theoretically re-apply for an executive role anytime i want

I should highlight while technically true, it's highly unlikely you'll actually be permitted to hold any role of significant trust for the foreseeable future given your attitude to the Ms teams leaks and your continued threats to leak more... At the moment for the security and privacy of our executive channels I would be actively blocking you from actually holding any sort of executive role, and am honestly not exactly trusting of your return as as an admin at the current time given its only the last couple of weeks that I've seen you not going out your way to suggest you're going to leak / are reinstating for anything other than your title.

↩  enchy would you rather have your family be traumatized from a terrorist attack or be killed brutally in said attack?

Those two are in no way shape or form comparable to the examples / hypotheticals already provided...

↩  enchy there is no systematic oppression of women.

While not a topic for this thread, there really is....

Your entire argument around that paragraph could easily be a thread of its own because it's not accurate... Certainky not globally.

↩  Deauthorized For the most part yes, just have had an infection which has not wanted to do one for most of the last month I think. I'm alive and generally okay, just not quite at the state where I have a lot of time (Right now sleeping is difficult so I'm sorta struggling to concentrate on shit)

Due to Steven needing to take some time away from TF at the current time and being inactive as a result, and my health being a bit of a mess at the moment and spending most of my time either working or being not very well, I've asked videogamesm12 to temporarily pick up the responsibilities of the Executive Ban Manager with immediate effect.

As an aside to this, Fyrsta is still on hand and will be helping to keep the lights on generally, I appreciate things are a bit all over the place at the moment, and as soon as either Steven or Myself are back to 100% I'm sure things will start to move forwards again.

Thanks all for your understanding.

↩  Miwojedk The article literally links to the studies.

My bad missed that, when I initially looked at a glance I thought they just linked back to the home pages for CDC and Guttmacher.

Quote

↩  Miwojedk I already noted hypocrisy in claiming that Abort73 is “biased” because it has an agenda to ban abortion, when Guttmacher and other sources linked in this thread are literally the exact opposite agenda: pushing reproductive rights for women.

I will say that I've never said the other sources were not biased, simply that this one was and I stand by that view, the commentary around the data is 100% biased. I don't really intend to get into the nitty gritty of what's trust worthy and what is not because that's not the point of this thread but I want to make clear I've at no point stated any other sources were unbiased.

Quote

↩  Miwojedk Take your head out of your rear and read his link instead of crying “biased!”, and then you’d know that said “biased link” sources its numbers from Guttmacher and the CDC.
Any source will have agendas, but that shouldn’t matter as long as their numbers aren’t manipulated.

The reality is we don't know if the numbers are verified or not or what numbers came from where. As I said in my post looking into the source given they state they use those two other organisations for the source of their data if folks referended the source itself rather than a layer of bias there would be no issue... If someone wants to use the percentages claimed in this thread doing so from the CDC or Guttmacher would be a far more sensible and credible way to do so than a site where the entire purpose is pushing a religious view not a data driven view.

↩  enchy just because you dont want consequences to happen doesnt mean that they just wont happen. sex will always carry the risk of becoming pregnant no matter what you do. its like saying i want to get drunk to feel good, but i dont want the hangover. be ready for the risks that you take. and adoption is always an option for parents who cant take care of a child

But you can get drunk and not have a hangover... I do it most times I go drinking with friends, you know what the consequences could be, but you mitigate them and when the mitigation fails, you handle it (ie by drinking more water and an Aspirin), in your example you're forced to drink more and more and can't do anything to fix it.

On the same thought pattern here, if I came over and broke both your legs, would you go to a hospital and seek medical help? Because you always had the risk of someone breaking your legs but you choose to walk anyway, so why should you be allowed to get any medical care if I break your legs?

I appreciate it's a silly example, but I'm trying to understand where you're drawing the line between making use of modern day medical capabilities that are here to improve our quality of life as a species, and where you're saying we should ignore such medical advancements and go all primal here.

The blocked versions only actually makes a difference currently on the skyblock server. For everything else it should let you use anything from 1.17 onwards which is the server version and we don't and won't support via backwards

The main reason we even use the blocked versions in the first place is to ensure cross network consistency and to make sure clients aren't stranded as they go through the network as a temporary step before the underlying server is actually updated for real.

↩ @' 5 ' ryan is the archenemy of sarcasm.

I am a fan of sarcasm but at least in Freedom-01 they were just spamming exactly the same shit as the other person. There was nothing in the messages to suggest they were not making a threat and were indeed taking the piss out of the other person, else I would have encouraged the ripping the shit out of the idiot threatening to dos / hack us.

↩  Tizz Right let me raise that with them... It looks like flarum doesn't have a consistent approach to tagging / replies.

Just so I can find it this is the flarum post you referred to in woltlab https://forum.totalfreedom.me/…-ban-request-boobeargoose

↩  Allink Yet it's still not done... Until it is it blocks any further integration.

And we can't do that until tfm moves 100% to permissions

So a couple of bits. There was originally a long term view to create some form of network wide role but only if we had sufficient number of game modes and players to justify it.

The fact hub mods have events mod access is separate to their actual roles and was something added at the request of the events team.

The chat moderation is the same as any staff member on the network will get. The reason admins and seniors don't have such access is due to limitations in tfm.

↩  Alco_Rs11 Simply make admins have the power to do their jobs on all the network servers.

That can't be done due to lack of TFM Dev work.

↩  SuperRyn how about you read jeremiah 1:5 KJV?

What does a story book have to do with anything? I'm not religious nor do I believe anything in Christianity is real. A person's beliefies should not influence the laws of a country.

Quote

↩  enchy idk why our sources are so different, this is thr first one that showed up when i googled abortion statistics

If you see the about page it even addresses the fact that it's inherently biased towards anti abortion.

Quote

Abort73.com is part of Loxafamosity Ministries, Inc. (LMI), a non-profit 501(c)3 Christian education corporation. Abort73.com is an online resource designed to creatively and comprehensively educate people about the injustice of abortion, and provide them with simple tools to help pass that education along to others.

If you wanted impartial data it suggests other data sources which it gets its data from and I'd suggest looking at those instead.

↩  Deauthorized all good. Why spell checkers and grammar checkers are my saviour on the Internet 😂

↩  Deauthorized Ahh looks like the spell check on my safari decided not to work so you have the raw unfiltered dyslexic. That I will go fix.

↩  enchy only 20% of abortions are for economic reasons

20% is a pretty fucking large percentage... Also citation needed.

Quote

↩  enchy dont want a baby, dont do the one thing designed to make babies.

So you're removing more freedoms?

Quote

↩  enchy and only 0.5% of abortions are because of rape so rape isnt really statistically meaningful when talking about abortion.

Ahh yes, let's just ignore the argument because it's annoying. It's fine because you haven't been raped so it's no big deal right? What a fucking awful approach on life.

Quote

↩  enchy we should be ashamed as a species that we kill our own fucking babies.

No, we are talking about a non-developed foetus. That is not a baby.

Quote

↩  enchy in 200 years humanity will call all of us psychopaths that we murdered millions of our own children, just like how we look back at slave owners and dictators.

But we're not, we're not talking about "Children" or "babies" we're talking about non-developed and pre-brain clumps of cells. If that said set of cells were bought out of the womb at the time we're talking about termination rather than being left to develop they would pass any sort of test to suggest that it is alive / sentient on it's own (See the Turing test for one of many examples of such tests).

What you've actually done is FORCED someone against their will to carry and provide for what will become a child they will simply get rid of as soon as they possibly can. It's disgusting and we should honestly be ashamed of ourselves as a race for feeling it's acceptable to remove the rights of people. A foetus has not developed to the point it is a living sentient being, and is having no rights taken away by being terminated at an early stage of pregnancy.

↩  enchy its not removing lives

I never said it was

Quote

↩  enchy it is protecting them.

No, it's the FORCED creation of life, in most civilised countries we call that rape and non-consent.

Quote

↩  enchy it is removing liberties in order to protect life.

As I've argued, it is not.

Quote

↩  enchy and it is preventing the pursuit of happiness to harm the lives of others.

That didn't even make any sense

Quote

↩  enchy to prevent suffering, we should kill all poor people. by letting poor people live, we are creating suffering for them.

If that's the hill you want to die on, then by all means. But it's not an argument I've made, and you're strawmanning here. Grow up.

Quote

↩  enchy suffering doesnt matter when talking about abortion because life is so much more important than suffering.

No life, which is the point.

Quote

↩  enchy whatever troubles the baby or mother may face, the value of their lives is more important than their suffering.

Not when you're forcing that suffering onto both, fate is one thing, intentionally sabotaging someones (and their Childs) chance at success is just being cruel. It's not civilised and it's sure as fuck not right.

Quote

↩  enchy f not, then we should all just kill ourselves because it will prevent suffering.

Fucking. Straw. Man.

Quote

↩  enchy for “actual life,” the only consistent way to define life is beginning at conception. any other definition doesnt work.

I think most laws globally, most civilised countries and common sense disagrees.
