I'm going with NAH bordering on TA.She knew she definitely didn't want a baby. You're in the comments understandably upset about it but showing some opinions that definitely are indicating you would've found some way to convince her to keep it.Edit: I would fully change it to TA based off of speaking to OP in the replies to this comment.

I absolutely would have convinced her, that would be my CHILD. (-3157)

Since you come from a family of Alabama dumbfricks maybe you should pause and think before saying someone else said something dumb since you are clearly a dumbfrick too.Did I say there is no difference at all? No I said they aren't different with regards to the fact that you should tell your partner of years before doing them. That's it. Clearly they are different in various other ways.I'm going to reject your framing of the two situations. Not everyone that gets an abortion has the same thought process you pointed out and going on vacation for a month can make someone happy for a lifetime. Your framing is disingenuous, but expected for an Alabama dumbfrick.Here is a fact: if you have a partner of years and are willing to have s*x with them and risk getting pregnant you SHOULD tell them if you are going to get an abortion. That is a huge life decision that impacts both people and when you are in a serious, committed relationship for years you talk about those things beforehand. Maybe n... (-1)

how is it that the First Asian Bachelorette only has 1 East Asian guy and 1 South Asian Indian guy casted on her season? How is this championing Asian representation? I know I've said in the past that imagine Rachel Lindsay as first Black Bachelorette ever and only having 1 Black man on her season? Or Matt James only having 1 back woman on his season? It's unjustified.
But those who know, know it might not be a casting problem. Her ex jokingly called her out last month on TikTok for "having a type":

Anyway, here are the men:

The commenters on tiktok are not impressed:
Lack of Asian dudes aside, most of the fellas look pretty normal to me.
In other words, it never even began if you're a guy and look worse than any of these dudes.

So as many of you may know Metro Boomin and Future released an album. One particular song stood out because it featured Kendrick Lamar and also called out Drake and J Cole.
Kendrick uses his frenzied verse to stake his claim to the top spot. โFrick sneak dissin', first person shooter/I hope they came with three switches,โ he growls, referencing Cole and Drake's recent single โFirst Person Shooterโ before swiping at Drake's status as a Michael Jacksonโlevel star with a clever and nasty nod to Jackson's beef with another music icon: โNeighbor, Prince outlived Mike Jack.โ
Etc.
It appears there was tension between Metro+Future and Drake before this diss song:
Especially seeing as Metro tweeted then deleted this and also left Drake off his album Heroes and Villains:
Since these are rap neighbors most of the beefing is foid like e-drama(gay coded).
Drake will literally frick your ex gussy to get close to stabbing you in the heart:
Even rap neighbors don't frick with this nonsense:
Fatty Rick Ross responds by doing what he does best; not doing cardio:
Even more gay is the moid "I'm not following you on IG move smh:
At this point I'm begging for one of you neighbors to shoot someone instead of words words words:
Looks like NAV is the weak link and might end up getting violated since he is actually from Canada:
Drake finally claps back in the most homosexual way possible:
And by having a struggle session on stage:
Of course folks are not impressed by this behavior:
There is prob more but cbf so memes time:

Basically, it just changes Rust's package manager to to call you a "little girl" and sexually harass you. I could go through the entire documentation but it would all just be a preface to the NSFW Features section:
Moods
In addition to the SFW moods,
CARGO_MOMMYS_MOODS
also takes these NSFW values~
- thirsty: teasing mommy, pretty horny~ ๐
- yikes: dommy mommy step on me, explicit sex and bdsm~ ๐ค
You can enable "true mommy chaos mode" by setting
CARGO_MOMMYS_MOODS="chill/ominous/thirsty/yikes"
, making mommy oscillate wildly between light positive affirmation, screaming about the end of days, and trying to break you in half~ ๐
It pisses me off how they continue the roleplay throughout the documentation. It doesn't even creep me out at this point, it's just fucking annoing
Variables
The "yikes" mood also has access to the following variables~
CARGO_MOMMYS_PARTS
- what part of mommy you should crave~ (default: "milk")CARGO_MOMMYS_FUCKING
- what to call mommy's pet~ (default: "slut/toy/pet/pervert/whore")Examples: Thirsty
Here's some examples of mommy being thirsty~ โค๏ธ
*tugs your leash* that's a VERY good girl~ ๐
*smooches your forehead* good job~
are you just keysmashing now~? cute~ ๐
if you don't learn how to code better, mommy is going to put you in time-out~ ๐
This is also retarded. "are you just keysmashing now~? cute~ ๐" nigga stfu, nobody's gonna be jacking off to this. You better practice your roleplay better before you make some shit like this
Examples: Yikes
Here's some examples of mommy being yikes~ ๐ค
good slut~ you've earned five minutes with the buzzy wand~ ๐
*slides her finger in your mouth* that's a good little toy~ โค๏ธ
get on your knees and beg mommy for forgiveness you pervert~
mommy is starting to wonder if you should just give up and become her breeding stock~ ๐
Okay basically more of the same. But the best is saved for last: buttplug support. Now you can give your girl-prostate special treatment along with your princess wand while you're wearing your programming socks
Buttplug.io Support
https://buttplug.io/ is an open-source standards and software project for controlling intimate hardware, including sex toys, fucking machines, and more.
Mommy doesn't integrate it, but she is compatible with cargo-vibe which does~ ๐
cargo mommy vibe check
Should always Just Work~ ๐ค
This project is all well and good but you're probably wondering what kind of person would create something like this. Actually, you're probably not at all and whatever image of them you have in your head is probably pretty accurate. Still, it's nice to go into detail. This was made by a certain Aria Beingessner, who has their own Homestuck wiki page because apparently they made most of the Flash games for the original comic. They also did a presentation at a Rust conference which allows us to take a look at their beautiful face:
The homepage of her site also includes a free verse poem, which I've incldued for your enjoyment:
I know nothing, but I listen.
The things I hear are useless, just hearsay and folklore.
My mind is a sieve, the stories fade to vague shadows and whispers.
But the shadows congregate and coalesce, and the nothings gain substance and form.
Shallows nothings become an endless abyss, gnawing at the edges of my mind, demanding my attention.
I try to move away, but the darkness spreads in all directions. I try to remain still but the darkness pounds against my skull.
My connection to reality fades while my connection to unreality intensifies. My flesh remains anchored but my perceptions drift into the feverdream from which I may never wake.
The walls in front of my eyes are only rumors. The sounds that kiss my ears are but echoes of echoes. I know I have moved but I am certain I have not. It is all a mirage that fades away the harder I try to focus on it.
The abyss draws strength from the contradiction of its enormity and formlessness. Should I try to reason with it, my mind will be lost in its endless labyrinthine cacophony. I must give it form by inscribing its true name for all to see and know.
My task is complete, but now I am hollow. Did the darkness take part of me with it, or was it filling that which never was?
The abyss from which I drew my inspiration, oh how I ache for the return of her warm embrace.
My mind races with her sweet everythings, my heart trembles as I glimpse her depths.
I know I cannot merely be with her, I must be taken over and consumed.
I am her vessel, her canvas, and her sacrificial altar.
I need to be lost in her depths.
I am the abyss.
Apparently her sensibility hasn't matured since she worked on Homestuck. LOL. Anyway, that's all for today. !friendsofmimwee please tune in for my next post where I livestream me killing myself by hanging with a rope in the trans pride colors. Love you, buh-bye

I did a poll a while back asking what I should write about. Surprisingly "my old boomer times" won by a large margin. So I present you with a history of MUDs, the thinking man's multiplayer game.
Telnet
Back in the 1800s (yes, that's how far back I'm going) Americans invented all kinds of awesome things: telephones, machine guns, movie cameras, record players. Two of these devices, the typewriter and the telegraph, were combined into something even more powerful. The keyboard of one typewriter sent electrical signals to control a typewriter at a distant location. This was known as teletype. It's how big organizations like militaries and multinational corporations sent data for about a century.
Teletype Model 33.
Eventually Americans invented even more cool stuff like mainframe computers capable of doing time sharing. This meant they could respond almost instantly. You could connect a teletype to the computer but that was suboptimal as the teletype couldn't print as fast as the computer could think. So the printer was replaced with a video screen, and now you had a dumb terminal. It could show text on a screen and accept text input but that was about it. These came into use in the 1970s among big organizations that could afford to pay for the luxury.
A DEC VT100 terminal. This is the standard terminal that's emulated in software.
Another revolution quickly followed in the 1980s with microcomputers, little computers so cheap that an individual person could own one. These were not very powerful at first but they were smart enough to pretend they were a dumb terminal and connect to mainframe. It's a computer emulating a terminal emulating a teletype.
Telnet being used for something more serious.
Why waste your time with this history lesson? It's important to understand the environment we're dealing with here. The Telnet protocol that you use to connect to a MUD is all about text. The technical details of how it gets from one place to another are more advanced, but in the end it's just alphanumeric characters going in and out like a machine from the 1800s.
Gaymers Rise Up
As universities got mainframes capable of time sharing, computer games soon followed. Among the most revolutionary was 1976's Colossal Cave Adventure. The player explores a cave system made up of a network of rooms. Each room has a text description and it can have items in it for the player to pick up. The player gives commands by simply typing in what they want to do. Many more games following this formula followed and the text adventure genre was born.
Don't get eaten by a grue.
Zork was among the most popular of these new games. Some nerd at the University of Essex loved to play a version of it called Dungeon. In 1978 he decided to make a multiplayer game based on it, which he naturally called Multi User Dungeon, and the MUD was born. In 1980 the university was connected to the internet, exposing MUD to the whole world.
UNIX Nerds Emerge
The roots of the MUD genre were now firmly planted but it would be many years before it bloomed. There were a number of technical obstacles which made it prohibitively expensive for all but a lucky few to play MUDs. The internet was only available at a few dozen universities and major computer companies, most of which frowned on using it for monkey business like playing games. By the late 1980s there were several MUDs running on commercial networks like CompuServe and AOL but these charged obscene amounts for connection time. Microcomputers like the PC became available but were still far too expensive for an ordinary family to get just to play games. A modem had to be purchased separately and these were incredibly slow and expensive as well.
Remember how to calculate your THAC0.
Despite these challenges, the 1980s saw great progress. A new nerd monoculture was sprouting in America and Europe, one that would prove to be fertile ground for the emergence of MUDs. The UNIX operating system and C language were taking over university computer science programs replacing a hodgepodge of weird proprietary systems. This made it much easier to share code, which would be crucial in the golden age of MUDs. There was compatibility in culture as well. Every nerd liked The Lord of the Rings and Dungeons and Dragons.
Explosion
Ultimately MUDs would explode in popularity not because of some revolutionary idea from a creative genius but simply because computers got better and cheaper over the years. By 1995 you could get a Windows PC with a modem for a reasonable price. The fiber optic backbone of the internet was laid and in the early 1990s the government allowed it to be used for commercial purposes. University computers became powerful enough that running a MUD wasn't too big a drain on resources.
Around 1990 a few free (as in Richard Stallman eating something off his foot and calling it "GNU") MUDs appear. Most MUDs in the future are descendants of these, especially the enormously influential DikuMUD. However there are also all kinds of MUDs with their own unique codebase, some of them quite bizarre like one based on LISP. The most enduring are true labors of love, often based in a university computer science department and passed down from one class of students to the next.
A map of the city of Midgaard. DikuMUDs generally kept the same layout.
Some MUDs were for roleplaying. You were expected to stay in character pretending you were an elf or a Romulan or something. As shameful and embarrassing as it was to engage in this type of behavior, it had a charm. You were essentially cooperating with the other players to write a story in real time. If nothing else, you could learn how to write quickly under time pressure. Some of these artsy-fartsy type MUDs let you create your own areas and even program them. It was kind of like Second Life except without graphics or Bardfinn. With no graphics and such a simple user interface it was easy to add whatever gameplay mechanics you could think of.
But most were simple hack and slash affairs. You go out to an area appropriate for your level, preferably in a group, and hunt for mobs. When you find one you type something like "kill orc" and enter combat, taking turns attacking each other. Occasionally you "kick" or "cast magic missile" or whatever your class' special power is. When you kill it you get xp, gold, and maybe equipment. This should sound very familiar to you. MUDs were inspired by D&D and in turn became the basis of MMOs. EverQuest, the first MMO to achieve mainstream success, ripped off DikuMUD to a large extent.
Legacy
The golden age of MUDs lasted until around 2000. During this period they were really the only game in town. There were multiplayer FPSs and RTSs but nothing that gave you a similar experience. On a 56k modem it took a few seconds just to download a jpeg. Internet connections were much less stable, frequently cutting out for a second or two. So text still made sense as the medium for a multiplayer game.
Then MMOs arrived like Spanish conquistadors, bringing ruin for our civilization. Better PCs and better communications technology like DSL finally allowed the dream of a "graphical MUD" to come true. These were the shiny new thing. Why read walls of text written by some random 20 Finnish nerd boy when you could be looking at 3D graphics instead? If you had any normie friends they would be playing WoW, not words words words. Of course some MUDs have survived and are still thriving today, but the age when there were a thousand running at a time with all kinds of creative new ideas is over.
You can't compete with graphics like this.
So why do I lament the passing of this era? Is it just nostalgia for a time when ska ruled and action movies had real stunts? No. It's more. That was a time when we were free. Free to express yourself. Free to make your own world. Free to implement any crazy gameplay system you wanted. Free to be a Romulan. Jolan 'tru, dramanauts.

For those of you who got laid as teens in the Invincible comics Mark (Invincible) is at one point approached by Anissa an enemy who tries to recruit him. When he refuses she beats him nearly to death and rapes him in the crate their fight produced, gets knocked up with his kid and finds a black beta to raise it for her before mark ultimately forgives her (like a cuck)
In the show she kicks his ass and leaves! What bullshit! I tuned in this week to see that skinny asian twink get dommed by a thicc white girl! @BWC
https://collider.com/invincible-season-2-anissa/
Anissa, being a prideful warrior, views the humans of Earth as unworthy of being her mate. This is what leads her to consider Invincible as a potential partner, given that he's already half-human and half-Viltrumite. After flirting with him and even kissing him without his consent, Anissa reveals her intentions to Mark. Mark has zero interest in a romantic or sexual relationship with Anissa, and yet, Anissa refuses to take no for an answer. After a quick battle, Anissa forces Mark to have intercourse with her, later setting the stage to have his child.
And most based of all
Among the many reasons why Anissa's act of sexual violence is controversial isn't just the act itself. It's also the aftermath. Believe it or not, Anissa undergoes a redemption arc once she finds a human family of her own. She even gets to make a heroic sacrifice, all while saying she doesn't regret what she did to Mark.
