[✓] Realised I understand nothing

[✓] Time for this planet to die

Definitely checks out.

Yep, because it was never about protecting the children ;)

I COMPLETELY AGREE - THIS ALL MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

Imgur blocking is a bit of a pain - half the mods in steam are missing images in their description.

The online safety act also means we get to submit ID to view anything construed as “adult”. Very “av you got a loiscencse for that” these days without a VPN.

Clearly they gave every last fuck they could about that code.

DRM - the bane of good user experience.

GOG nailed it - no DRM, low prices, convenience.

If most book publishers released their texts with new features (e.g. linking references, or adding additional notes to proofs/solutions) they’d get their sales. Instead they just slap DRM on and…

Fair play to you - it just comes off that way.

Each post that hits my feed makes me think “wow, sexism is alive and well”. Glad to hear it isn’t just all rage bait.

Eh, I only ever see that community when a bait post makes it to the front page.

Honestly, I just assumed it was a really elaborate troll group and didn’t bother engaging.

It’s as if the USA and UK are locked in a perpetual “hold my beer” moment with their legislation.

Then again, Europe is also pushing some boundaries with it’s chat snooping laws.

A bad time to be an internet user really…

Check blood vessels, check large intestine, and check heart lights are all on and flashing angrily.

I think the “ohfuckwe’redeadadeadmanwalking” alarm also blares out at least once per morning.

How GLaDOS would hurt us now: Portal 2 turns 15 next year.

When you’re young you experience the world, when you get older you keep the world working for the young to experience it, and when you’re old you wish you’d made it work better so you could’ve really experienced it.

Erm…

I think there are errors on both parts here…

1.9/170 is about 1.1176%. 4 decimal places is still an unacceptable level of rounding here, but it’sa damn sight better than 0/1 decimal place. Both of you were off on this.

It is definitely right to split rape and sexual assault, they’re very different crimes - combining them is double counting which is a poor faith tactic used to inflate numbers.

1.1176% per year DEFINITELY does not translate directly to that for a lifetime. To put it into context, if you have a 1% chance of being shot each day (assuming BINS) you have a [(0.99)^365]*100% (or 2.6%) of not being shot at all that year - note binomial is not appropriate for rape odds calculations but it’s a nice example of how low odds per year DO NOT translate to low odds per lifetime.

Self report is absolute garbage - it’s the worst form of stat gathering and often leads to socially advantageous answers being given. Using self-report stats as a keystone to an argument is dangerous at best.

The “known rapist” is a tricky one, as it depends how you define rape. Sex under the influence of alcohol you later regret - tricky to place in the at home (you knew them enough to go home with) vs stranger (did you really know them). While it’s nice to give clear cut numbers, this isn’t a clear cut scenario.

Seems to me you both care about this topic - sounds to me like you should both go data hunting and explore the topic together. Two opposing perspectives makes a great paper, and you generally learn more!

My two cents - being alone with someone is always risky. Trying to assign which is riskier (men or women) is foolish, it creates the dynamic of “men vs women” rather than the desired “everyone vs rapists”.

Tiny Truss Tower?

Managed this as a millennial - had absolutely nothing to do with my parents helping pay half my deposit. Nope, absolutely nothing to do with that whatsoever.

And during those billions of minutes, most of them are cursing the existence of the spyware experience that is teams.

The emotional damage on first use would make sense in that context.

4chan is an extreme example of an unmoderated site - indeed it’s what the OSA was designed to combat. If this legislative test fails, it would undermine the acts legitimacy, and provoke questions as to it’s existence.

It’s a shit law - it’s not fit for purpose. Its sole reason for existence is to controle public speech, not protect the children.

Neat summary and cleanup - editing original post to point at this.
