The point isn’t to absolve people of making bad decisions, but that doesn’t mean the companies whose tools provide dangerous advice in a friendly and factual manner should be without accountability.

Consider that people in all possible situations and mental health conditions have access to these tools.

“below” means the entire column below. Xavi and Tom fulfil these requirements.

“Yes, this is my emotional support firearm. Why do you ask?”

I agree with the conclusion, but your toilet doesn’t simply spawn SARS viruses.

80% of the utterly ass things that Apple pushes on people are on iPhone. iOS is a purely consumer product, while macOS has a decent chunk of the prosumer market which has a lower tolerance for enshittification.

Ha, no. Many older gamers have the disposable income but not the time or motivation to spend hundreds of hours on gaming per month. I know what I’m talking about.

Still never buying into that subscription bullshit.

Yes. The top comment says Google Pay, not Google Play. The sandboxed play API has worked well for me personally.

Here as well.

If you don’t know what to reply, then don’t. Seek out communities, posts, and comments about stuff you enjoy talking about. Especially when it’s a positive light.

Everything you claim to do here can be done safely, which I condone and have done myself. The way you go about it, you’ve chosen to be a serious danger to others for absolutely no good reason, while lying to yourself that it’s okay because you’re doing them a favor.

Go to hell.

I told you I don’t care what you do with your own mind and body.

But if you don’t care that you’re putting other people in danger of serious harm, then you’re a horrible person.

Do with your own life whatever you want, but don’t give dangerous advice to people who may trust you and don’t know better.

If you’re all about fun, guess what, even just a bad trip ruins that too.

Yeah that’s fun. But I bet you had people to tell you what to expect and how to be reasonably safe.

“Try all drugs” will get people to try Heroin or Fentanyl and fuck themselves up for life in an evening. Don’t do that. We have a responsibility towards each other, especially towards newbies.

The distinction may seem like nitpicking but no, CSAM is a legally defined term of depictions of actual children being sexually abused.

This game does not feature any such content. Not just because there are no depictions of real children, but also because the fictional children depicted aren’t subjected to sexual abuse.

Valve’s language cites “sexual conduct” which in this case reportedly (I didn’t watch it myself) has been stretched to include nudity that is non-sexual in nature.

I get why Valve would err on the side of caution, but that TOS decision is no basis to turn around and make the legally relevant claim that the game features actual CSAM.

Did you maybe start with online dating? That’s where the transactional thing really is omnipresent and it sucks.

Which would that be?

Yes but that’s the reason why adding ice is the standard, if not policy.

Adding ice is just filling your cup with 60% water. Filling the same cup with the same drink and no ice would be less profitable because you’d wait longer to order another.

The joke can also be read as the pointe being the stupidity of the second person for exactly the reason you gave.

So in short, this question could have been used in all sorts of ways to provide an answer that clarified the commenter’s position.

I mean, in the way it was asked not really. It was explicitly asked, or rather condescendingly demanded, as a simple binary choice stripped of all context.

That’s not how you engage with someone when you actually want to get their take on a complex issue. That’s how you engage if you want to score an easy win for upvotes. And I for one am done with that kinda hostile “debate bro” culture / popularity contest that’s defined many subreddits over the years. It shuts down any chance for an actual exchange. So let’s not act surprised at the result.
