The US is a very big place. I meant specifically since each state has differing laws.

In many instances, such a stipulation is assumed.

No offence, but it doesn't matter what you believe. I'm not going to accuse you of anything some of these people are, just advise you read up on the age of consent where she is and not you. As an American citizen, she's under the jurisdiction of the US. There are many states (the majority actually) where the AoC is lower than 18 just make sure she's in one of them or you could risk being in serious trouble if you ever visited her, even after she's become a legal adult.

Even most states have the AoC lower than 18. ~60 has it at 17 or lower.

That last part isn't necessarily true. It's often seen as a blanket statement that the age of consent in the US is 18 but that's not true for many states. We don't know where OP's girlfriend lives and I'd say it's entirely for the best he doesn’t, but for all we know she lives in one of the ~30 states where the AoC is 16 or the 6 where it's 17.

That "lapse" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Genuinely wouldn't surprise me. Time to hoist the sails and borrow us a house, YAAAR 🏴‍☠️

Oh, I know. Just felt like pointing that amidst all the Dr Evil maniacal laughing, they forgot to consider how stupid the plan is.

So they also wish to stop people being able to find jobs that would enable people to pay for their monopoly, prevent them from access the marketplaces where those same people would have a chance to buy their products? Now who's hurting potential earnings?

Bet he learned to pronounce that with a hard H very quickly.

Despite having heard the name Siobhan (pronounced Sheh-vaugn), I never saw it written until many years later and in an unrelated circumstance so I assumed it was pronounced "Sigh-Oh-Ban". Irish names are insanely confusing for anyone who isn't Irish and I'll eternally argue there's no shame in getting one wrong.

On that link. Scroll down to releases and download the Windows .zip file. If you're not on Windows, you're going to be learning to build from source.

Things have changed a lot since those days. The recruiter part is still decently accurate but the hoops to jump through are far more plentiful and costly these days, if they're even open in the first place.

You expect a higher calibre of joke. Nothing wrong with you.

Because we have clear evidence that the morons are spoiling ghe market for everyone else. If they hadn't fallen for the death by a thousand cuts of "it's only additional content", "I want to be able to play it on the day of release", "it's only cosmetic", "I don't care about having a disc", "I don't care if I can play something I bought in 5 years", "you can't expect a company to run a server in peRPeTuitY", "it's only a ToS, it doesn't mean anything", "it's oPTioNal", "games cost a lot more to make now than they once did", "it's fucked now so I'll come back after they've updated it a bit, I don't need that money now". They were all lies, all hooks for the idiots that are too dumb to engage their brains for more than a couple of seconds, were never taught how to use money, were never taught how to vote with their wallets nor impulse control, and here we are, not 20 years since the writing was on the wall for those of us who knew how to engage our brains for longer than it takes to click the '"buy" now' button, several serious hits taken to our basic consumer rights, some hanging in the balance, the gaming market on the cusp of imploding and our money devalued by at least 50% if the corpos only stop at Nintendo's $90 con and, in truth, even less than that since that's proven to rarely be the actual price of the full game.

So yes, it's foolish to encourage this behaviour because the morons voted us into oblivion.

Not just kids. That bullshit applies to channels that are entirely adult-oriented and yet we're still having our content censored as if we were children. I'd love to hear what Orwell himself would say about the present state of the internet.

It's foolish to reinforce such behaviour.

Ironically, that would be treason.

What a surprise... 🙄 The only way Nintendo has worked hard to 'mitigate the issue' and still hasn't landed on Hall Effect as the answer is if they're purposefully keeping shit components but want them to be just good enough for them to not get sued.

Which means games are pushing themselves out of the market despite looking to make more money.
