  • Can you imagine the alternate headline of “US sends peace keeping force to Saudi Arabia to protect African migrants”? That’s a sociopolitical minefield if there ever was one. I’m sure that if the US knew, so did most everyone else, and there weren’t any other countries lining up to help. SA isn’t known for being a clandestine government, more of a “What are you gonna do about it, buy more oil?” kind of operation. The US is damned if we do, damned if we don’t. Step in and its Team America World Police, don’t do anything and we are standing by letting genocidal governments kill nations.





  • This may be a “safety” measure in the bios of the phone itself that was triggered when you flashed the rom. Can you try to flash back to stock android and see if that works? (Tho, depending on the manufacturer, that may be a bridge already burned.) Also, it could be that android 13 dropped driver support for the phone in question and no longer “officially” supports it, so some options are grayed out unless you enable them in developer options. Probably not much help for you, but that’s the best I can think of.

    If I have to pass a yearly exam to prove that I am not in some form of cognitive decline just to have the same rule apply to every other person, including politicians, then I’m all for it. Same goes for driver’s licenses. My grandmother, who is 91, just renewed last year. She told me over the phone, “This will probably be the last time I ever have to do that,” and I just thought, “I sure fucking hope so.” I’m not against older people doing what they want to do, but reality and safety have to come into play at some point. People break down as they age. I’m dealing with it now, and I will continue as I get older. I have no illusions about it. The feeling that you are entitled to whatever you want regardless of the safety of others is something that we as humans need to drop, or it’s gonna be the end of us, as evidenced by the current state of politics.








  • There is a stark contrast between fetishizing body parts and fetishizing underage people. Calling it “shitty” is an understatement by several orders of magnitude. If you are attracted to someone because they look underage, I’d have to question your moral judgement when it comes to the real thing. People aren’t known for making wise choices when under the influence of hormones, and I think that the venn diagram of pseudo-pedos and real ones may overlap a lot more than you seem to want to accept.

    I am all for blocking this instance and defederating it. If someone wants to ride that line, they know that address, but now they have to type it into their browser instead of hoping those images show up in their feed.
