Well they probably know what they put in the CPUs they export to the US and Europe, so why would they?

Ampersands. I thought it was just me but apparently not

Edit: works fine incomments, but I keep seeing them replaced with "&" in titles.

The thing is the motion to be tried as an adult comes before the trial, so it comes before you ascertain anything about motivations, intent, psychological expertise...

I think this whole thing goes with the whole drinking, enlisting in the army, voting... You guys have a legal definition of childhood that's way fuzzier that I'm used to. In my head, a motivation isn't mature or not intrinsically, it's mature or not depending on who has it : if it's a child it's not, if it's an adult it should be so it's considered as such.

I guess having a hard limit on the eighteenth birthday is weird in its own right... Maybe it's because I'm old but in my head it should be fuzzy in the other direction: 18 year olds are definitely still kids in most aspects and should get a chance to be tried as children.

Oh good!

Alright then, I guess it's a bit less cruel with decades or life in prison.

Still an unfathomable decision to me but at least they're not angling for an infanticide

Why though ? They're not an adult, and rape is depressingly common in children.

Edit: maybe instead I should focus on the core absurdity of it all: isn't saying "a 17 year old rapist should be tried as an adult" the same as saying "the laws concerning rape in children 17 and above should be the same as the laws concerning adult rapists"?

Because in this second case you ensure that all children be given the same rights under the law and you get the same severity for 17 year olds for crimes you decide warrant it, rather than a shoddy "hmmm I think this crime is heinous enough to preemptively strip this person from their rights before we even decide on guilt and stuff and maybe the judge will agree".

Alright I can see how culturally you end up going in that direction.

Still, though, I can't fathom someone being smart enough to go through all that education to become a state prosecutor, then seeing a terrible story about a kid have access to a gun when they clearly shouldn't and killing their own mother through sheer childish stupidity and then coming to the conclusion that "you know what would reestablish justice in this situation? Injecting poison into that kid and watching him die."

Who's that person? What happened in their life to make them think like that?

Wow, you guys must have a very shallow understanding of what "childhood" and "justice" mean if the culprit being less responsible for their actions make the case more ironclad.

Edit: nvm I've looked at your profile after seeing some of your unhinged comments here ; I now fully believe you are eleven yourself and under the delusion that you are, in fact, an adult.

It still doesn't tbh. The concept of an "adult crime" is baffling to me.

I don't understand the US thing about trying children as adults. The whole thing about children is that they're not adults, what's the point of having specific laws to protect children if you're just going to ignore them? What possible argument could there be that a 11 year old is an adult?

You know we're fucked when a title like that isn't even on nottheonion. We may have entered a"not 'not the onion'" era

Seeing what's been already recommended here, my suggestion sounds out of left field even to me... But somehow, "Elden Ring bug easier" makes me think first and foremost of Zelda breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom. Huge open world with secrets everywhere, engaging aesthetics and, challenging yet less punitive combat. The only thing would be that the combat is less emphasized, an exploration and problem solving more. But combat is still very much there and you can go quite deep in its mechanics, especially with all the time stopping and telekinetic shenanigans.

Edit: Not really a western ARPG I guess but the freedom of play is similar

Are you a plant? You legally have to tell me if you're a plant

Buy a 3 then, show em low tech is in demand

You saying they stopped selling them?

Everybody seems to care about headphone jacks, nobody seems to care about Fairphone's former stance to focus on keeping their existing models usable long term rather than produce a new phone every year and incentivise a race to the latest model like every other brand does...

Genuinely, good for you. I don't want to switch to something more expensive, that probably wheighs more on the environment (batteries tend to do that), that I'll lose more easily, that can catch connecticity issues, that force me to turn on bluetooth... And that's okay we just have different priorities. What bugs me is only yours ever seem to be catered to nowadays, even though mine don't seem particularly rare and you can ignore jack plugs easier than I can listen to music while plugged on my external battery

Being ashamed of our nakedness and wearing clothes to hide it is a punishment from God for eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge. I guess clothes are part of the religious liturgy of all abrahamic religions...
