I agree with the first one. Everyone should be able to love any adult in any way shape or form they want with consent of all involved parties.
But the the relatives one runs into issues with abuse and clear voluntary consent. Grooming is an actual thing, and a much bigger potential risk if the groomer is raising you from your infancy. I would add the caveat if you really want to make it acceptable, it should only be allowed between people of the same generation, and only when they’re well into adulthood.
How would you deal with violent crimes (murder, rape, abuse, things that are considered morally reprehensible by most people, regardless of religion and affiliation) without a penal system? Mob punishment?
100% sure they do. It would be silly not to.
To be honest, books are the only form of media I don’t pirate. They deserve my money. Sucks that I have to use big shops to get them digital, but it’s so easy…
After some more thinking, I guess the original piracy has to come from somewhere :)
Genuine question : why not just download a pirated version of the book then? Seems like a huge hassle for the same end result
I’d just take a clear stance on something right from the bat, doesn’t matter what. AI is always needlessly careful when you ask it to pick a favorite color/food/soccer team/religion/skincolor/country/…
Being overly Paranoia? Can’t think of another valid reason.
I like tasty gourmet food. But I also like junk.
I genuinely like a big Mac or a domino pizza. Are they as good as a gourmet burger or a wood oven pizza? Not even close. Can I enjoy them regularly? Absolutely.
Or even better, donate to wikipedia. I know I just did.
I use a seedbox abroad and secure ssh to transfer stuff to my own server. Don’t see what additional security a vpn would give me.
What’s the last time you met a gatherer doing it as a profession and not a hobby?
Hunters are a little bit more common, but still, full time food hunters are rare.
Prostitutes on the other hand.
So as a simple saying used in a daily life, I can kinda see why it’s used :)
Been using it for close to 10 years. Never had a single serious issue with it. Apps break now and then. A simple reboot of the server or the app fixes it every single time.
A lot of public torrents download and seed at insane speeds. Like “must be in the same building or even the same disk” speeds.

I mean… Tell me you are pedantic without telling me you are pedantic…
I mean, it’s almost Monday again, have to find a reason to get a long weekend no?
It’s interesting that cheerleaders still dress like that in Japan imo. Habits are hard to change, especially in the land of the rising sun :)
National fashion became very conservative in the past 10-15 years. Like almost not even a bare shoulder conservative. Skirts also became much longer in recent times. The ultra mini skirts that Japan was famous for are also on their way out. The whole legging craze that hit the rest of the world never even made it to Japan.
Just let the cheerleaders wear more clothes?
Not refusing, but lately I basically don’t pirate games anymore. Steam made it so easy to buy games… + pirating games is always a pita with the required hacks etc. (or at least it was way back when I did it).
Software I don’t pirate, I just use foss stuff wherever I can.
I also don’t pirate books in general. Just get them on Kindle and support the author (and unfortunately also Jeff bezos)
I pay for Netflix (mainly for kids) and go to the theater for big movies, but aside from that I pirate all screen content.
I also pirate comics, but that’s 90% because it’s almost impossible to get them legally where I live. I would pay for DC unlimited if it was available in my neck of the woods.
Nowhere? Sit with my own sadness. Go to the gym and work my frustration out on weights. Play games and forget? Unfortunately none of them healthy coping mechanisms, but talking to close ones leads to more issues because I’m very bad at putting my feelings into words without causing distress to others apparently. So inwards it goes.
Not as if the universe cares, so why should I?..
