They’ve done more than donate. They also rigged some stuff to benefit Hyperland developer specifically from something they didn’t qualify for as well or some such.

But seriously, fuck rockstar. Orc studio treating their workers like shit, what else is new.

Then why Lebanon too?

I’ve known someone who spoke like that in real life unfortunately. She might have had about the same literacy levels and opinions.

I wish it was 0% but it’s at least 20%.

Why not higher? They couldn’t really use a phone either, and this person somehow does.

For starters, not relying on US payment processors.

Su that’s why they never released 9 - it was too perfect and they wouldn’t make money in the future

Look, I’ve used Cachy. It’s great, pretty polished, looks nice.

But do not recommend an arch distro like that until you know person is more tech inclined.

Because a lot of Windows users are not, and they’re not going to want to open the terminal.

Cachy is best for those who like to more effortlessly tinker with their system, like messing around with Polkit so KDE doesn’t ask for a password every second.

Don’t forget, it’s not about what we’ve always wanted from an OS, but what the other person might want from an OS. When unknown, pick the simpler solutions, like Bazzite, Debian, or Mint.

That’s how I’ve gotten 8 people converted to Linux from Windows this year.

The US las varies by state, but in some cases only the boy goes to jail. In other both go to jail.

Even your proposal of

Why would you not make exceptions for kids under the age of 15 to have sex with kids under 15 and kids over 15 but under 18 to have sex with kids over 15 but under 18?

Has issues. For example, if two teens were already having sex at 14 but one turns 15, although legal before, it’s suddenly illegal, even if consenting.

Same with 17 to 18.

That’s why your statement of “underage automatically does not equal consent” doesn’t legally work.

What I think would work better than a simple lower limit age ban would be to also include an upper limit age ban as well. I think perhaps of 2 years for 13 and under and 3 years for 14-18.

That way, if say a 17 year old has a partner that turns 18 or 19, there’s no issues. But if an adult that’s 22 (or older) does something with a 17 year old it’s illegal.

This gives room for consent, because teens are able to consent - they should just be able to do so safely with their peers, rather than because they are targeted by older, more experienced/manipulative adults.

I get that you want to separate sex by force from sex by free will but when it comes to kids there can never be consent and it defaults to rape.

The issue with that definition, legally, is if two 12 year olds have sex with each other, they would now both end up in jail.

Things like that have happened in the USA btw because the law is set that way.

The problem isn’t whether they can or can’t consent at that age - humans don’t magically gain some universal phenomena of consent at some arbitrary number.

It’s the lack of foresight and knowledge of consequences, as well as the physical and mental health risks for young girls who get pregnant. That’s why it’s bad.

That’s also why the best defense against pedophilia is education about sex. And why the right wing globally usually is against sex education.

If they know what it is and what it can cause, it’ll be much harder for them to be convinced or tricked by an adult.

In case anyone wants to use something while waiting on some features for this, here’s an alternative set up:

Cheap Ikea ZigBee smart plug and an analog Bluetooth speaker(s) (like the Marshall ones) kept at on with volume set to max (and, if using a music player that supports it on your phone, you can keep bass and treble controls at max as well).

You can then turn on the smart plug, which will turn on the whole set up, connect your phone via Bluetooth, and play the music via a file manager that has a music organizer (if music is on your own server) and control volume levels and an equalizer on an app of your choosing. If you don’t want to wait for syncing to your Bluetooth, you can also do a quick automation so it turns on the speaker in the morning so it auto connects before you wake up.

At least, that’s how I have things at the moment.

I agree it’s not that simple, but it’s just a proposed possible beginning to a solution. We could refine it further and then give the vet refined idea as a charter for a lawyer to them draft up as a proper proposal that could then be present to a relative governmental body to consider.

But few people like to put in that work. Even politicians don’t - that’s why corporations get so much of what they want - they do that and pay people to do that for them.

That said, view count isn’t the same as membership. This solution wouldn’t be perfect.

But it would be better than nothing at all, especially now with the advent of AI turning the firehouse of lies into the tsunami of lies. Currently one side only grows stronger in their opportunity for causing havoc and mischief while the other, quite literally, does nothing and sometimes advocates for doing nothing. You could say it’s a reflection of the tolerance paradox that we’re seeing today.

Rick Rolling the meaning is pranking someone.

Badger Badger Badger it’s the humor of the song and animation, and the unexpectedness of the mushroom, plus some absurdism of course.

Nyan Cat is the closest, in that it’s just absurdist, but also it had a catchy song and was art.

6-7 is pure absurdism. There isn’t a meaning to it, and it’s lack of meaning is the joke. It’s meaningless is so absolute that the brain defaults to base pattern recognition to give it any semblance of meaning.

And I’m not saying that’s bad. I’m just stating that it’s literally a meaningless joke. Some may ascribe it’s rise to prevalence as part of modernized brain rot culture, itself an extremist version of absurdist humor that began to rise in the 80s with Gen X and exploded with millennial, but evolved through very compressed short form content.

To me, I think it’s maybe a prelude to an increase in dark humor again (and indeed we saw a rise for a moment in which 6-7 was given a dark twist with the mixing of SCP fiction with it’s focus on voidness, emphasizing the insanity of the meaninglessness of the meme, but also the emptiness of everything) similar to millennials, since I think Gen Alpha already sees how bad the situation is for their generation even at a young age and will eventually perhaps evolve to a mixture of dark nihilistic violent humor; the meaningless of 6-7 it’s expression of nihilism in a humorous way.

But that’s just a theory. A meme theory.
