Get out of here with your reasonable suggestions for real life problems.

Instead the state should raise taxes on poor people and give the money to the oil companies, cause freedom or something.

Or… A iKeyboard

I will see myself out

This game was it’s year’s sleeper hit for me. It really is good, despite the story being a bit cheesy at times.

There is no system of precedence for rulings of lower courts in Germany, technically not even for higher courts (albeit there de facto is). That’s something you could find in the U.S. though.

The lower court fucked up and it got overruled. The only thing Sony could have done would have been to bring similar cases to the same lower level court again and again and hope they make the same wrong decision over and over. That’s about the closest thing to precedence they could have relied on. It probably would have worked for Sony though.

It is a legit question. Usually you don’t have to pro-actively inform anyone that you disagree with anything, TOS included. That’s just what companies want you to believe since it benefits them greatly.

No idea though how things in the U.S. are handled and if there are differences in certain states. It would surprise me though if that was actually an enforcable legal principle.

You can’t hold a firm grasp on reality if it is distorted by your massive narcissism already. He thinks anyone but the bags of shit still on his platform care.

Twitter never actually mattered and nothing of value will be lost. He can pound sand.

One thing to consider: Nvidia has the better drivers and software on Windows by a long shot. Unless you want to game on Linux, then go AMD.

Oh, I get it. You think the gun was mounted on the horse for whatever reason.

Rest assured, Maxim guns usually needed a small team to be operated properly. I highly doubt anyone was stupid enough to try and fire a Maxim gun from a horse.

But the thing is nearly 30kg heavy, so loading it on a horse to move it around is what you’d would do if you had the option.

The horror of carrying a Maxim gun? It was a heavy gun but not too heavy to be carried by a horse.

Okay, I see that as valuable context to what you wrote before and mostly agree. Thanks for adding that.

Though I also want to protect children from sexual abuse by adults, which is about the worst thing one can do, I do believe nevertheless it is still the right thing to try and help even the worst among us after they served their time, need rehabilitation more than ever and if they want and can be helped of course.

That’s a whole different topic to what happened to the man in thr article and I don’t want to go down this specific rabbithole any further. I hope that’s okay with you.

Since we clearly reached the “no, you!” stage of this argument and there is evidently no point in going forward, let me wish you a great day and you take care of yourself.

They obviously aren’t, don’t be a dimwit.

No need to apologize. I assumed it was unintentionally. I sincerely hope things improve in general when it comes to mental health in society and in your life if things are not great.

I do know.

It is not like I shed tears for bad people dying. You don’t have to either.

I just don’t want suicide to be celebrated. And I want suicide to be understood as (in the vast majority of cases) a very bad thing people commit, because their are mentally ill. Science is also backing up that celebrating or even covering suicide can bring other people to kill themselves too, who are good peoole, simply ill and shouldn’t.

Suicide is not normal.

I think that is a statistic we should work on changing. There is still a lot research to be done, but it is possible that poedophilia is not so different fron being sexually attracted to people of your own gender. Your brain is just wired differently, in the case of pedophilia wrong. But you don’t exactly get to pick if and how you are born.

Societies outlaw living out these sexual desires for obvious reasons, which (in better parts of the world) obviously don’t apply if you on the other hand e.g. have consensual sexual experiences between two adults of the same sex.

Obviously sexual acts between adults and kids are not okay, no argument there. That is why we outlaw it, rightfully so. We can, (usually want) and definitely should protect all babies, childen and young adults in our societies. Doesn’t mean you are a waste of oxygen if you have pedophilic urges, but don’t act upon them. There is also without a doubt a higher rate of suicides among those people. It is not a net positive.

The human sex drive is very strong, so despite having rules against non consensual or considered unacceptable sexual urges, people live those out. Sexual harassment is a better example for this.

My hope would be that someday we can somehow effectively help people who are sexually attracted to babies, kids and underage people without incarceration. There is already drugs that can supress any kind of sexual desire. We just don’t do enough research on this topic, because helping people struggling with pedophilic thoughts (especially those not having done anything wrong and never choosing that life) is a very unpopular topic. So we rather avoid it.

That goes for a lot of other mental illness like narcissistic or psychopathic disorders that tend to cause harm if lived out as well.

Not helping people afflicted by what we consider malfunctions of the human brain and letting them slide into more mental health problems, which might ultimately lead to their suicide is NOT a net positiv, is is a net negative. Always will be, unless you got your priorities wrong or can’t feel empathy.

I didn’t say suicide always happens, because you are mentally ill. You are twisting my words to suit your argument, maybe unintentionally. There is good reasons why people want to die, e.g. when they suffer from an illness that is only going to cause pain and suffering and want to go on their own terms.

I am not and was never in his head, but I am quite positive he didn’t suddenly develop, let’s say relatively severe Alzheimer’s disease and wanted to die why he still had controll over his life.

And yes, suicide should be allowed in my opinion as well. You should be the one who decides when and how you go. I agree with you insofar.

Though mental health professionals don’t admit you against your will, because it is a fun joke to them, but because the vast majority people are mentally ill when they are contemplating suicide. It is not a normal thing to want to die.

I don’t know how things are where you live, but in my tiny spot of the world people usually don’t get admitted against their will because of suicidal tendencies, but chose to after they talked to a mental health professional. You usually only get admitted against your will here, when e.g. police, firefighters and/or medical services had to talk you down or save you from an attempted suicide attempt. If that is not the case in your small town in rural Alabama, then you should inform yourself as well as possible and try to teach others about a better alternative. Just my two cents on your comment.

I hate Republicans for all they do and stand for, but nobody kills themselves just for fun. This guy was mentally ill (aside from being in the GOP) and got pushed over the brink by an asshole.

You don’t have to be sad about his death, but suicide is not normal and should never be encouraged like some here basically do.

Just for your information: I only dabble in tech as a hobby and am by all accounts an utter noob.

But you can find these things out with a simple search in under a minute. That is the akward reality about you being downvoted. Not that a gazillion downvotes would matter on lemmy ever anyway.

You are correct. It would explain the issue and I too know for a fact that this is a problem of the internet these days.

It sounds counterintuitive, but website and shop sites also run on what are basically oligopolies or monopolies on the software side. Rarely someone builds a site from the ground up for all the reasons. At the same time it is a huge problem the software most sites run on is in the hands of relatively few (and one the rest of the internet has as well). Most people are just not aware of this.

No idea who or why anyone would downvote you.

Some companies like amazon intentionally do this for the exact reason to scare people and hope they forget to cancel.

Subscriptions as a system are fine, why and how you implement them tells you a lot about the company you are dealing with.

BUT: As mentioned in other posts, it might just be a technical issue due to bad software design/choice OR it might be a setting you can pick as the owner of the patreon, because for some types of patreons it would make a difference if it ends immediately or at the end of the period OR bad wording. Not pitchfork time quite yet.

Please keep us updated, OP.
