Wrong. People who allow these desires to fester, or as you suggest, actively seek out fulfillment for them, is not good for anyone. It’s not good for the pedophiles, because it will increase the need for fulfilling their illegal desires, and it won’t help kids, obviously because it emboldens pedophiles.

Have you ever experienced something you like, and said to yourself: “definitely not doing more next time.”

Absolutely. I guess I just consider those things more in the realm of “hobby” rather than a job that might come to the union. No reason someone shouldn’t be able to make wood-whatever and sell it in their retirement. That was actually one of the things my dad argued, it’s sad to see someone work their whole lives to become a tradesman, only to have that same ability kneecapped because you’ve retired. And I agree. That’s why I also made point 3, because usually when things don’t make sense there’s a reason. Whether it’s a lack of information or just misinformation. We both had a lot of questions neither of us could answer, ya know?

Had to explain this to my dad when he told me about the carpenters unions not allowing his brother to work after he retired.

1: Unions are the democratization of workplaces; for better or for worse.

2: Should you really be working when you’re claiming retirement checks from your union?

3: People are often falsely confident on their views about things. People love to complain about the government while hardly understanding anything about it. The same happens everywhere, including unions. Just because some dude is miffed doesn’t mean they have any right to be. They can be misinformed.

I mean, that’s fair. I would just hate to see people seriously hurt themselves because they don’t have access to something. But that brings up a whole new conversation, and it’s just sad that we even have to consider this.

Another aspect that came to mind is: people hurting themselves and ‘putting stress’ on the hospitals. Obviously that’s pretty unrealistic, might be a point someone would argue though.

I also don’t have faith that people would do it properly. Chemicals are weird and not following instructions or not knowing what you’re doing can lead to disaster.

Welcome to the world where money has more power than laws and governments. It’ll all work out fine, I’m sure.

So by virtue of social media existing, it can’t be flawed? It can’t be broken? It can’t be harmful? It can’t be pushing racist and fascist ideology?

There’s a mountain of evidence showing the harms social media does, and you’re just acting like all that research doesn’t exist.

Plenty of good reasons to ban things, even if they’re useful. Asbestos. In fact, banning asbestos didn’t harm anyone, as your comment would imply. It actually helped people.

Well that’s fuckin’ sick lmao

You don’t need a subscription like Prime to get the free games? I was under the impression you do.

Also, it says the judge bought in 2022, and the price today is pretty much equivalent to the LOWEST point of 2022. So it’s not like it has performed well for him. But I don’t know shit about stocks. Just wanted to point that out.

And while $35,000 is a pretty big investment, at least to an average person, would that amount of money be persuasive enough to convince a judge to do what this one is doing? The perceived corruption, I mean.

Just wanted to point out that he DOES NOT use their name or pronouns. Your comment might allude to him not being the dead naming misgendering piece of shit he is, can’t have that. lmao

I got banned for suggesting a man who violently pushed a woman off a bike should be pushed himself. Lmao “advocating for violence”

Fuckin’ spineless idiots

God damn. This, after their collab with the IDF and CDawgVA?

They might be one of the coolest studios today.

Their official line is based in fears of surveillance and government overreach. My state senator Mike Lee was one of them, must have been a cold day in Hell or something.

To play China’s advocate for a sec… Could this also be a symptom of America’s new alpha sigma trend of drop shipping?

Disney did something similar recently and fucked over some of their employees because they eventually decided against it. Might be able to find your answer there.

The only real answer I’ve ever got from PC nerds is: None. You don’t need it. Just don’t be stupid. Easy.

Made me super uneasy when I was getting my first PC lmao

That’s because, on one hand, the United States fucking suck. And on the other hand, if America produces anything well, you probably can’t afford it.
