Genetics and health issues aren’t a big topic now, because of disabilities caused by genes. If your jurisdiction allows for example people with down syndrome to reproduce, you can’t argue about genetic defects by incest, as they are less likely/server. Here politicians did switch their argumentation towards protecting the family, which makes sense but only when they grew up as family. The problem is when siblings didn’t know each other, when they grew up, later fell in love and only then find out they are blood relatives, they legally can’t reproduce. You can’t argue with protecting the family, because they never where family. They don’t see them as brother and sister.
In Germany there is a group who is fighting to legalize it. About consenting, there is a different law in Germany, which protects that. In Germany for the age of consent, we have 3 categories (14, 16 and 18). The one that matters in this context is everything under 18. If one partner is under 18, you can’t fuck them, if you have a specific relation like teacher, family member, guardian. Also this only applies to consent. Rape is still rape.
But to be fair, a lot changed recently and being against incest “just recently” (still over 10 years) weakened their arguments. They don’t reevaluate everything that gets affected by court decisions or law changes, if now something else got weakened in their arguments. Consenting incest not between guardians, aren’t that many. It needs a group to collect facts and arguments and then need to present them but that doesn’t even guarantee politicians to act

When its about taking a shower, the gym (you may can take a free lesson or pay for a single session), the swimming pool/spa and even truck stops have showers. Also it can be a topic to talk about and maybe she invites you over.

I kinda worded it wrong. Some ISPs do give out full IPv4 addresses but do rotate them, because they can and do charge more for static IPs. This doesn’t have something to do with a lack of v4 addresses. Only DSlite has something to do with the lack of v4 addresses.
- Comment on Guess I'm banned by Know Your Meme now. [yippee.wav] 6 months ago:
IP Bans are usually pointless. Not all ISPs give a connection a static IP or even solely an IP (DSlite). The reason is they don’t want private people hosting stuff and generating more traffic and they can charge you more. My ISP (Vodafone Cable in Germany) didn’t even gave me an IPv4 to use (it’s called DSlite/Dual stack lite), meaning I was behind a NAT on their end and many shared that IP. I did ask them nicely if I could get a real IPv4 for certain stuff and they gave it to me, but only when I book the upload boost for 5€ + a month. It’s not static but it only changes when my router is disconnected for a long time (I don’t know the exact time but at least several hours up to an day).
So usually an IP ban makes only sense for a limited time or specific ranges from companies (for example VPNs or hosting services that don’t care who books their service).
- Comment on Fucking google did it again, they "fixed" something that never broken. This time they make thumbnails way too big even with 70% zoom 8 months ago:
I use Control Panel for YouTube. Has a lot of features. Don’t know how trustworthy it is. It has only 11k Users and 49 ratings on Firefox but I use it for some time now. YouTube rolled that out for me for weeks and when I got it, I didn’t found a script to add to uBlock or so, when I got this bs.
- Comment on Anon learns about cars 1 year ago:
When you know how rockets and jet engines work, because someone explained it to you but nobody explained how car works, people might just apply that knowledge to cars.
People expect that others are born with knowledge or that it magically appears in their brains. Its not that op is retarded, its his parents that forgot to teach his son some basic stuff. When I see memes with how bad the current generation is, they forget its not the fault of the generation, its the fault of the parents. When they don’t teach their children that, how should they do it?
