I highly recommend checking out https://old.reddit.com/r/LaptopDeals/ daily until you find something that meets your needs and budget.

Unfortunately, the "linux-first" vendors do not offer better deals than their competition.

Strawberry.

Our desktops are almost identical, lol.

Does she have anything to say about the rape allegations?

I'd say people like money more than someone else's kids.

You don't see wealthy people going on killing sprees at nearly the same rate as poor people.

So long as the disparity in wealth continues to grow, these problems will only get worse.

If only the killer didn't want to kill people.

I'd say the problem is how some states have manipulated the market to only benefit big players.

Illinois, for example, has given out the fewest licenses to grow and made it illegal to grow for personal use.

Are you saying it didn't happen, then?

the mods would ban the harasser.

Yeah, that's how the forum's mods decide to run their instance.

If you don't like their rules, you can go somewhere else. No need to get law enforcement involved or waste taxpayer money on lawsuits.

Go over to 4chan and your experience will likely be very different. Nobody is forcing you to go there, though. Taxpayer resources shouldn't be wasted on making every microcosm on the internet 'feel safe' for everyone else.

How about we address the mental health aspects instead

How about we do both?

So, I think this is more of a discussion of whether or not people should have the right to kill themselves rather than should safeguards be put in places where people frequently kill themselves.

Judging by the article, it looks like 40 people have survived jumping off the bridge. One of them, Kevin Hines, broke his spine doing it. He said he regretted it immediately after.

If you think people should be allowed to kill themselves, is giving them the option to jump off an iconic bridge really a good idea? We don't know how many of the people that succeeded regretted doing it, but we can safely assume that number is not 0.

Should those people have an easy and dramatic way to kill themselves, even if they will regret it when there's no going back? I don't think so. I think if people have the right to die, it should be done safely.

You said it yourself. You know people who would kill themselves if they were having a bad day/week. But what if they couldn't do it just then and had to wait a period of time, similar to getting a tattoo while drunk? Maybe the following day/week they will look back and be glad they didn't do it. Maybe not. But I think giving people the option to do it quickly and spectacularly isn't a good idea.

She can still enjoy the game. Nobody is forcing her to interact with those people.

Even if the game was built around enabling them, then she could always go play a different game or just about anything else. Nobody is forcing her to play a game that makes her feel uncomfortable.

The same goes for, say, going to forums where people say things you don't like. You have the power to leave. Taxpayer resources shouldn't be wasted in making sure every single microcosm on the internet makes everyone 'feel safe.'

I don't understand why this is such a difficult concept for you.

Oh, so you don't know if it's 5% or 50%?

Well, whatever the percentage may be, consider the remaining people who do regret it afterwards and aren't lying about it.

There are an absolute fuck ton of people who lie about suicidal ideation because they fear the consequences of being honest.

Do you know what proportion of people who regret suicide attempts are lying about it?

I don't think people have the right to 'feel safe' around every single person they interact with on the internet. If she doesn't like how those people behave, she's free to leave and interact with others.

At some point, we have to take responsibility for our own actions and the people we choose to associate with.

Okay.

Are you trying to argue that most people who regret suicide attempts are lying about it to avoid treatment?

They injure themselves because they are the ones who choose to jump...

Eh, I'd say death threats should be followed up on.

'Virtual sexual harassment' should be followed up on if it involves threats of real crimes.

Saying, "I'm gonna come to your house and rape you" is definitely cause for criminal investigation, if there's enough evidence to make it viable.

Saying, "you like that, don't you?" while "fondling" an avatar in VR is not cause for criminal investigation.

I guess you'd have a point if this didn't really happen.
