It looks like a stylized cartoon character. It could represent a person of any age, depending on context. I know adult women who would commission something like that for their avatar and say “look, it’s literally me!”
What about that image makes you think “this is literally a 9 year old, imagine being attracted to this, disgUSTING”?
Even worse, you have to find someone who truly loves you as a frog, but won’t mind if you turn into a human. Not everyone can be as chill as Queen Lillian.

Shinji is a maladjusted teen who doesn’t get the chance to emotionally connect to anyone because he’s forced to fight a war. Exploring sexual trauma through your characters is nothing like sexualizing characters. Honestly kinda immature to view that scene as “haha he straight up jorked it”.
She doesn’t look like any 9 year olds I know either
Tigers are real fucking scary and still humans went into the forest with pointy sticks to hunt them down. Humans doesn’t afraid of anything.
Good senses and quick scuttly feet and little wormy bodies that fit in tiny holes though.
why millenials have no taste - Answer in Progress (bait title: they can’t afford to have taste)
It’s actually super easy to kill someone if you’re not a pussy about it. Humans do it every day. But it will never be “clean” or “painless” and it’s a fantasy to think there could be a way to kill someone that is entirely free of guilt.
The problem with the death penalty is that the accuser calls for the death penalty (on paper) and a judge sentences the accused to death (on paper) and then they don’t do it right away, but put them in a hole for 40 years. Decades later, some pencil pushers process the stack of papers and have to go get a wretch out of the hole to kill them. At that point no one has the motivation to actually do it, so they try to think of ways to honor the stack of papers without actually feeling like they murdered a defenseless old hole dweller who hasn’t done any harm for 40 years.
I also think the death penalty is stupid. If you kill them right away, they don’t have the chance to change. If you kill them later, they have already changed too much to justify actually killing them. Just make them work the mines for a couple years and reconsider once everyone has calmed down.

Hey! Didn’t you just violate your own rule of “0.2 lower resolution”?
You’re right about big numbers losing relevance in our minds, but I don’t think that’s even true for units of measurement. Since all units are arbitrary, they are inherently linked to a mental model with simple maths, quick conversions and rules of thumb. 450 ants is too large to visualize, but 450cm is simply the height where an old chestnut tree’s branches start. There are no 450 distinct centimeters involved in any of that, so you don’t have to keep them in your mind.
Compress down, guesstimate a piece of physical distance, continue with your day. Whether that mental model started as 15 foot or 450 centimeter isn’t really relevant, as long as you have developed a sense for the size of various things in your chosen units, and the units map nicely to other common units you might encounter. If you need any more precision, you take out your tools.
You don’t need to be brave to use mosquito nets.
All measurements are arbitrary. This feels like that Fahrenheit debate where “60 feels natural for room temperature” as if anyone has any idea what number a room should be. A meter is just a chunk of distance about this size (holds hands apart). There’s nothing a foot can add to a measurement that a meter can’t. You’ll need fractions and smaller or bigger units in all real world cases anyway, so having easy conversions is much more useful than a “natural” base unit.
Have you ever had a psychological evaluation, voluntary or otherwise?
Deriving the area of a circle by constructing a rectangle with the same area:
No see, that’s why the map is confusing. The flag shows for each country where most people from that country emigrate to. So people from the Netherlands emigrate to Spain, people from Spain emigrate to Germany and people from Germany emigrate to Switzerland.
It says Spain, but I won’t blame you for reading this confusing map wrong. (Also, no mention of how many people actually go to Spain.)

I think it’s more an issue of NYT readership skewing extremely old. Under-40 will have watched plenty of great animated shows in this century. But someone who was 30 in 2000 probably missed out on the 2005 Adult Swim broadcasting of Samurai Champloo.
I thought she ignored commands from the robot, but the police came to get her out of the way? Did Uber call the cops on her? Why didn’t they ask the cops to deliver the food too? Scrub some Uber toilets?
