It says they'll make exceptions for legitimate uses, I assume that includes making whipped cream. It'll probably just be much harder to legally get your hands on it unless you run a catering company or restaurant.

CO2 would cause the cream to sour as a result of it's acidity, and plain nitrogen isn't soluble enough, so it's probably not very easily replaced.

Breaking the law is actually cool and good. Ideally, I think people should break the law more often, not less often.

Profile pictures turned off gang represent. No liberal's gonna ever put pictures into my brain without my express permission. The rest of you will be sorry when the CIA wises up to this place and uses a cognitohazardous image like the parrot in profile images to jack into your mind and turn you into brainwashed wraiths of the empire

I have to disagree with you on that, at least when it comes to ways the criminal justice system constantly fucks over marginalized people with extreme prejudice.

In general, the war on drugs is massively unpopular yet people are still being sent to prison for non-violent drug crimes.

Also, even in the deepest red states, the support for legal abortions is at a minimum of 35%. That's West Virginia, most red states are in the mid to high 40s on that. To hang a jury, it only takes one juror to vote not guilty in the face of an otherwise unanimous decision to convict. Given a random jury selection process, we'd only need 8.3% (1/12th) of potential jurors to refuse to convict in order to ensure a guilty verdict on abortion is almost never unanimous. Yet people are being sent to prison for abortions and even miscarriages right now. The only way that could be the case is if jurors are voting based on whether the law as written was broken instead of whether the defendant deserves to go to prison.

Also, btw, the funniest thing about EoE to me is the fact that all of the lore is literally and totally incomprehensible unless you do a deep dive into a bizarre Evangelion spin off RPG game for the PS2 that was never even released outside of Japan. Almost all of the jesse-wtf Evangelion deep lore you see people discussing online comes directly from that. I'm certain that Anno came up with exactly none of it and has given the lore less thought than most fans have.

What gets me is that he then turned around and wrote the Rebuilds which are basically shit to put it mildly. I understand the man has gotta eat and make a living, but uh, Shinji ending up in some kind of romantic relationship with a middle aged colleague of his parents is way too much to unpack here. That and the ten fold increase in sexualization of minors, this time without it even attempting to be a deconstruction of anything.

Nice, I loved this movie as a kid. I had it on VHS and would watch it all the time!

It's been so long since I've seen it now, I should probably go rewatch the original

Hideaki Anno: Writes an anime that is a ground breaking and scathing deconstruction of all the disgusting and reactionary tropes most commonly found in manga and anime at the time.

I think it's the opposite. The feds are almost certainly not looking that closely at users on "Hexagonal Bear Network" to dox them on the off chance they get selected for jury duty.

But if somehow they did manage to find out about this and linked your identity to your account, then you can bet your ass you'd never serve on a jury again in your life.

It's mind blowing to me that particles with no inherent physical shape or dimension can be considered "spinning" not because we observe them spinning but because they have literally all the characteristics of a spinning particle other than actual rotation around an axis

Everyone is speaking about TC69 and other early admins and mods in the past tense. I was under the impression that they were all still here among us but simply had to switch to anonymized accounts to moderate with as a precaution after what happened to Beatnik. Did they all really leave the site or something?
