No I’m thinking in terms of we cannot revive the dead so let’s not put the genocidal wannabe dictator in power for 4 years. I clearly can’t stop what’s currently happening but I’m sure as hell not going to vote in a way that results in more people dying more quickly.

You mistake accepting genocide with trying to prevent a worse genocide.

The genocide argument is a really bad one. Yes the Biden administration is culpable. The Trump administration would pump more money into it and start parading around the genocide like it’s a good thing.

There’s voting for the side who might get tired of the public opposition and stop funding that shit, or letting the genocidal wannabe dictator win.

In Spanish KnY is “Guardianes de la Noche” (Guardians of the Night) and I’ve never heard a single person say that it was good. Most people I know just call it Kimetsu.

I also personally use SnK, AoT means “ahead of time” for me. For so long I was confused when people expected me to know AoT as Attack on Titan.

That said it really depends on the title. Some titles suck in other languages, some don’t. I mostly pick which to use on length, how stupid the translation sounds, and if the translation is confusing for me.

I watched Apocalypto for a school paper at age 15 (from a list of options given to me), and honestly I think some softcore porn would have been better. Some rated R stuff is fine for a kid to watch, Apocalypto definitely wasn’t.

Also that same year I researched and did presentations on Chinese history (was a prehistorical to maybe a couple hundred years ago timeline) and at least in my research I covered things like the foot tying thing (to make feet smaller) and that didn’t prepare me for the scene in Marco Polo (I think on Netflix) where that happened (and I didn’t finish the episode or continue the series because it’s just too fucked up).

Porn can be fucked up, some porn is definitely NSFL, but there are a lot of things that are so much worse than the average porn site.

I wish they actually tried to “protect the children” but the politicians are very clearly not.

It sounds about as out of touch as their neurons.

Sucks that the idiots forcing these stupid ideas get buckets of money though.

I missed that part in the article, I should have just searched for the word flood, woops

So if the tip is sticking out for airflow, how does it handle a flash flood?

That checks out. Exactly what I’d expect from a devout Christian.

Spacewar is the app ID for testing Steamworks integration without having an app ID yet.

Not that I’m (seriously) advocating for them to go into a dorm, but these people decide their salaries.

If they were doing their job properly they would have raised it, or better yet they would have established a higher-end apartment-dorm type solution that is paid for by the state and so their paychecks are not used to cover their living expenses in DC (not college freshman standards, more like two bedroom apartments unless they want to pony up part of their paycheck, one for a bed and one for an office).

They’re not actually doing either of these things though, so I hardly feel bad.

They’re not actually advocating for mob rule, mob rule is only acceptable if it’s the mob rule that accomplishes what they want.

Taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay out the ass just so they can live a nicer life than the rest of us while they continually make far more than us and don’t try to govern properly (like raising our minimum wage).

If normal people need a bunch of roommates to afford DC, the less well-off Congressmen can deal with something similar until they have made enough good financial decisions to get something nicer, just like the rest of us do.

Also if someone sucks at making financial decisions, I honestly don’t think they should be in a position to decide fiscal legislation for the entire country, it’s clearly not a skill in their wheelhouse and that’s not the place to acquire that skill.

As much as I would like to believe that, these politicians have more than demonstrated their intentions and modus operandi. They need to be voted out and replaced with someone who will actually try to do the right thing even if it’s not such an easy talking point come reelection time.

Yes.

A bunch of states including NC are just blocking porn to protect the children but it’s literally the laziest solution with some of the smallest impact.

Twitch, Discord, and Roblox are far more accessible and arguably more dangerous in terms of short term consequences than porn because they are primarily social interaction platforms.

I’ve never seen Rotten or Liveleaks (at first I thought you meant Rotten Tomatoes that’s how unaware I am), but they could probably use similar regulation.

It’s not even that I think porn regulation is inherently bad, but the implementation is garbage and the claim to protect the children is extremely weak.

Social content sites are dangerous because of the opportunity for predators to easily encounter minors (especially age restriction breaking ones under 13), and violent content sites are, well, violent? They should be a higher priority but they evidently aren’t.

I mean I honestly think if they really wanted to “protect the children” they’d actually make COPPA enforcement a lot more strict (and also add in under 18 limitations), though I suspect that would be significantly harder.

There are a lot of places where you can get exposure to “bad” stuff as a child that are arguably more dangerous long term.

Well in this case the companies that should be regulated are the Internet companies in SK. 😂 Good counterpoint (not /s)

Where is the linked article? The only link I’m seeing in the post is to the homepage. Not sure if my mobile client is not showing me something.

They can’t spell, and even if they can they can’t read and don’t listen.

There’s only one company I’ve found that makes headphone shapes that don’t hurt my ears and they stopped making wired variants years ago. Last time I got an actually authentic pair was ~2017.

The void they left behind got flooded by knockoff junk that isn’t worth buying (bought 2 pairs in 2018 trying to find a replacement, they were tinny garbage).

If I could find a wired version that sounded good for under $50 I’d get them immediately so I can stop dealing with Bluetooth connection issues when I’m on my computer.

I don’t have a headphone jack.

Even if I had one, I haven’t been able to buy wired headphones that aren’t crap quality that don’t hurt my ears. Last time I bought wired headphones (more accurately earbuds) they were tinny knock off garbage being sold on Amazon as a legitimate product, and that was years ago.
