This doesn’t surprise me. I spent time on 4chan years ago and saw some extremely disturbing opinions and conversations. I could definitely see how mentally disturbed individuals could find each other in forums or channels and start an underground movement. I’ve always thought that these types of online movements were psyop campaigns either by Russia or another foreign country to cause American unrest.

My prediction is that those who would normally seek the infamy that school shooters used to receive will see the amount of attention people have given this case and the healthcare CEO’s murder and murdering public figures will become the new trend.

They could be laying down lol

That’s true, I only recently got a computer that could handle switch emulation but I know it’s been around for a long time. It’s probably a lot easier than dealing updates on a modded switch.

Piracy is definitely possible. You just have to find an early switch model, unless you’re good with a soldering iron. I’ve had 2 modded switches for years and there is homebrew that helps you back up your saves. https://www.reddit.com/r/NxSwitchModding/comments/1cpo4r1/how_to_back_up_restore_or_transfer_your_nintendo/

You can never be too careful. I’ve lost decades worth of crap I’ve collected when drives go bad.

This is what I’ve been doing for every game since I had a New Vegas save get corrupted and I had to almost completely start over. I go overboard and make like 5-10 saves now at various points in a game.

That’s not entirely true. I’ve worked many intense labor positions. I excelled in them and loved getting paid to exercise. The pay was shit and the hours were completely unreliable. I tried really hard to get another similar job with a more successful company and got basically nowhere. I now make way more than I ever have now that I work in the public sector in a DBA/development position.

I love the work and have always loved working with code, but honestly I’d prefer doing manual labor. I was in great shape, I could study audiobooks all day, and I could be high all day. Manual labor work is fucking great! The problem was I had no paid holidays, no sick time, no benefits whatsoever, the hours weren’t guaranteed, and my coworkers and boss were extremely racist and often dropped the N word out of nowhere. I’m part Mexican and often reminded them of that fact, but I know they just saw me as "“One of the good ones”. Also they made the position a 1099 position even though I worked for one company and had 0 control over anything.

I’d still switch back to manual labor if I could make the same amount I do now with the same benefits.

See, then pressing it twice would make sense. I’ve checked and I know that pressing it once locks all the doors. I do tend to double check my house locks so it could be a peace of mind thing. It could also be muscle memory from unlocking the door which actually does need two clicks to unlock the rear doors.

That’s true, that’s a really good point. I just never see anyone else do it but me.

I actually do the same thing. A lot of cans that I get from convenience stores are covered it dirt and gunk. I’ll usually blow on the top or rinse the can.

It’s more of a stupid habit, but I always lock my car twice. I know pressing the button once locks every door, but I can’t stop myself.

I like to play games that let you customize your characters. I usually avoid all games that force me to play as anyone but myself in that universe. I think all games should let you choose who you want to be and who you want to be with if romance is an option.

Seriously, they build parental controls into pretty much all modern devices and there’s plenty of 3rd party software for added functionality and customization. The tools are there for parents. All they have to do is enable and configure them.

I think people who support this shit and other other laws that strip our rights away are virtue signaling, neglectful/lazy, or like you said completely brainwashed. I think that those in power want to slowly work towards banning porn completely and not just in the UK. I’ve said it elsewhere, but politicians and rich assholes like Elon Musk are worried about birthrates falling and this is just one of many tactics to try to get people to have more kids.

Very true, more parents should be like you. Unfortunately, I’ve known many parents who are completely fucking neglectful and when their kid fucks up or gets caught doing something they’re not supposed to they look for anyone or anything besides themselves to blame.

I’ve only known one person who I could honestly say was a good parent. She sacrificed everything to give her 2 sons a great life. She did everything and only put a reasonable amount of responsibility on her kids to help out. She didn’t date or go out, she sacrificed her own needs and basically was always working and active in her kids life. One of her son’s was autistic and needed a lot of extra attention and care and the other turned out to be the most responsible and well adjusted dude I’ve ever known. I wish more parents were like her.

I agree completely. I was giving a rediculously extreme example of a way they could actually try to protect kids from porn if that really was their goal.

I have no anger towards children or parents in general. I just think it’s the parent’s responsibility to monitor their kids not the government’s. Thus, the only people who should be affected by rediculous rules and laws that “protect children” are people who have children. Plus, there are plenty and religious and right wing parents who support shit like this.

I know. If they really cared about protecting kids they could force ISPs to sell a whitelisted or blacklisted “Family” service. They could even go further into insanity and force parents to only use that service until their kids turn 18. They could even force parents to install tracking software to make sure kids only connect to safe networks and use school registration records to keep track of homes with children.

Of course that’s all rediculous, but obviously they don’t want to protect kids. They want to take away our rights and privacy and with the way politicians all over the world have been harping about falling birthrates, making it harder to access porn might cause fewer people to use it in the hope that more people have kids.

I’m so fucking sick of losing my rights to protect other people’s kids. I don’t have any fucking kids. Why don’t they apply their idiotic rules to those that do and leave the rest of us be.

Sad, but true lol
