If it’s fixable it can’t be that bad anyway. You can’t fix rape, and it’s pretty hard to “fix” a major corruption case (without spending a couple of years in prison, anyway).

In the early 2000s in Europe, many governments significantly worsened social services, including “centre-left” governments like Blair in the UK and Schröder in Germany. This eroded trust in the established parties, and the large influx of migrants from 2015 on in many European coutries on was easily exploited by rightwing parties. Add the significant rightwing bias of US social media that dominates the social media landscape in most western countries and voila, people voting for neonazi parties en masse.

Republicans can very much make a martyr out of Kirk and exploit his story for their own gains, regardless of whether they fully agree with his ideology.

The feet kind of work as a flared base. I’m more concerned about the general size, if that’s literally your first buttplug you’re definitely gonna have a bad time.

But why are those not interesting for this study? It kinda feels like the question they want to answer is “how many teenager are having premarital sex, i.e. dirty sinners” instead of “what is people’s age of first sex”. Which would also mean that lots of teenagers would feel encouraged to claim that they’re virgins when they actually aren’t.

My first thought is that that kind of location also makes invading harder. For thousands of years, armies had to acquire most of their provisions on the road because logistics are hard when you’re marching thousands of people on foot, and “acquire” usually meant “steal” even on home territory.

Being invaded fucking sucks, so it’s quite possible that a lot of people were willing to trade personal liberty for security.

There aren’t going to be a whole lot of people who are going to fuck with their eyesight if they don’t have a severe eyesight handycap, which isn’t as common as Meta wants smart glasses to be.

Also, every hearing aid is a microphone, yet I’ve never heard of a case where information from hearing aids was being misused. Almost like there’s a big divide between aids for disabilities and surveillance tech.

Neat. Why specifically “never-married”, though?

It’s not that I believe that the currently known figures are accurate, but that I’m still waiting for a source for “early 20s”. That commenter made a specific claim with nothing to back it up. Could just as well be 19, or 29.

Source? Average age of first sex for males is about 15 in my country.

Fun fact: Fighters with big-ass swords were often used specifically to break up pike formations. Long sharp stick formations usually suffered from sub-par maneuvrability, once they’re past the pike tips it becomes kinda difficult to hit an attacker.

I think Matrix offers most of the functions you need, “Discord but selfhostable and with E2EE” is pretty much what the Matrix devs are going for. Though it kinda has issues with ease-of-use, performance and stability, so TBH I doubt it’s going to work for you.

“The Lotto numbers for 2026-09-12 are 16 20 25 33 39 45, Superzahl 0.”

Sounds materialistic, but I haven’t found a solution for any of the issues I had 5 years ago, I didn’t make any major wrong decisions since then, and stuff like “buy RAM and GPUs” is irrelevant after winning millions of eurobucks.

When I start fucking with chmod, it happens way too often that what I want to do only works after I executed chmod 777…

I don’t use Arch, BTW.

It’s going to be Germany 1933-1945 all over again, except the leader is considered even more of a clown than the first time.

We’ll see how many primary sources even survive the following decades.

Though I don’t envy anyone who has to do history science when a large amount of primary sources are available. Imagine having to analyse Trump tweets for a paper.

TBH most day-to-day stuff still works well on my 12yo mid-tier laptop. I feel pretty good about upgrading its RAM from 8 to 16 last year, mostly to keep up with my multi-tab webbrowsing habits.
