Fallout 4's more modern gameplay? Oh shut up. They lost me right there. Not that i did not enjoy Fallout 4, do not get me wrong. But it sure is not modern in any way that counts. Quite the opposite. It already feeled aged at release.

If they are talking about individual facebook posts this might be realistic. Not sure how facebook is still around.

What makes me think it is not both?

Well lets take a step back and look at how many pedophiles there are in the population. While we do not know the exact numbers the educated guesses, from rather too few studies that we have, range from 1% to 5%, most putting it at around 3%. I do not really believe that a tiny minority holds such powers as to influence politics or we would not have an AOC in the first place.

In order to understand why there are people advocating for low ages of marriage i would do take a look at our younger past and ask, why WAS the age for marriage low? And the answer, while not much more pleasent, is much simpler than: we somehow have pedohiles leading the world in the shadows. It is much easier to secure marriages that way, because guess what, children have not much say in their lives. So a powerful or rich person can simply chose whom to marry, take a bunch of money and their victim has no power over the decision. It is terrible but it has not much to do with the sexuality of a minority.

So in short i would say occams razor tells us that it is rather unlikely that these policies are pushed by pedophiles, even if some or even many of them might agree with the goal.

I can not really talk about Republican Senators (as i am not an US citizen) but the reason why child abuse is rampant in the catholic church is because the instituational structures foster abuse. Abusers, in turn, tend to go for the easiest victims. Children sadly are not only easy victims, they are also in the care of those priests, leading to many cases of child abuse. I know it is not an easy pill to swallow, but most of these priests are simply put, predators that had children available to them. If they had to care for vulnerable adults, they might have had preferred those. If you are interested i can link you a study about how many perpetrators of child abuse are in fact not pedophiles.

I know it is easy to see children getting the short end of the stick and to cry out "DAMN PEDOPHILIA" but it is really not helpful. There need not be any pedophiles for children to get abused, sexually or not. Let us keep that in mind while we all fight for more and better childrens rights.

Edit: grammar

Can we not conflate religion, control over peoples authority and pedophilia? This is not about diddling children, this is about shackling people before they really can have a say in the matter. Crying about pedophilia is what the other side does too. It wont open anyones eyes to the true motives.

I know that. Those are two different things the police does however. One i think is smart and catches predators the the other perpetrates the very thing they are sworn to destroy in order to get their cases.

Wake me up when all billionares have lost so much money there are none left.

Posing as a child is not a criminal act. Posting cp however is. Not sure which of these two you mean so id say you are talking probably about the first.

Cops being criminal should not even be able to lead to an arrest but i guess the police does not exist to fight crime but to fill prisons.

Thanks. This video is gold. I watched it a year ago but this is something i should rewatch once in a while.

This sad determinism is bullshit. While it is unlikely that i will find a partner, for reasons i would rather not talk about, it may happen very fast 'out of the blue'. Nearly happened to me, but it did not work out in the end. Which was again pretty random and surprising. What i am trying to say is, do not beat yourself up about a future that is literally unpredictable and try to enjoy life as much as possible with what you have got.

They are not slumping enough. Shit food, for shitty prices.

Happy to hear that they are chill, at that point it would make sense to legalize. Alteast having home growing and consumption being legal is something that is hard to argue against. I bet it is going to get much better for us in the future (hopium, i know)🤞

Nothing wrong with that

Luckely legal where i live, since april first 🥹

Not yet, but not for a lack of politicians trying. So far the european court has done its job and also some countries have stalled.

Hey man, hentai loving people are not transphobes by defualt. Also nothing wrong with my beer tits.

Also: Transphobes suck and should be either ignored or shamed.

Laws that are stupid need to be violated. People should join this poor fella and shit on that joke of a law by wearing this "mask" as mich as possible.

Textiles and exploited workers, name a more iconic duo.

Branding cops as pigs is unfair toward those very intelligent and social animals.

If you think feeling the urge to kill anyone makes you a decent person you should think again.

Violence has it's use and i see situations where violence against the authorities is warranted but even then i will loathe those who revell in it. Like those people out for revenge. Understandable emotion, despicable act.

Civilizations strived on slavery aswell.

Maybe it is what some want for society, but i for sure do not. It is the other side of them same coin that has trigger happy and violent cops gunming down people.

Maybe i don't get it because i am not american.
