- Comment on erotic scenes actors and actresses, how do you not get aroused while acting in those scenes? 3 days ago:
While you’re wearing essentially a balloon or a strip of carpet and nothing else
- Comment on Nintendo now has a US patent on summoning characters and making them battle for you | VGC 6 days ago:
I’ve grown to hate that famous quote “It’s not personal, it’s just business.” because it’s almost exclusively used to excuse people when they choose to act like sociopaths.
- Comment on What's the name of the type of man I'm attracted to? (pictured) 1 week ago:
A turd by any other name…
- Comment on Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened | VGC 1 week ago:
From what I heard, many others do too.
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 2 weeks ago:
Graphene? Meaning the OS where you have to have a specific range of devices that aren’t even very good for the sort of people who’d want an OS like that? I’d most likely be on Graphene already if it wasn’t for that annoying as hell limitation.
- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 2 weeks ago:
This is where I can only speak broadly since every country (and state/province) has it’s own laws but from a legal standpoint, minors need parental consent to do a great many things. Dating in the broad term such as a young couple going to see a movie with each other would likely be seen as an innocuous activity and not worth a court’s time. Where laws get involved are when it comes to physical intimacy and they can be loose or draconian. Just in the US alone, there are laws that dictate minors of the same age are able to do as they please, some have the “Romeo & Juliet law” otherwise known as the close-in-age law, and others deem physical intimacy between minors as strictly illegal meaning if 2 minors of the same age had sex, they’d both be committing sexual assault against a minor. To put the power of parental consent into perspective though, in the UK it was possible for a couple wherein one or more of the two were 16 or 17 were legally able to marry with parental consent. This was true until as recently as 2023 due to child abuse issues but that’s incredibly recent for such a thing.

I know what you were asking but your question reads as “So you don’t like waffles?”. No-one was saying anything about anyone under the age of 18, only what minimum age is appropriate for anyone who’s already a legal adult. I think 15-17 are fine dating amongst themselves but that’s an age where parental consent is concerned in a lot of places.
- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 2 weeks ago:
That’s not what’s being said. From the context of an adult dating some, 15/16 is too young unless the older person is really close to that age (18, 19 at a push and I only think like that because I’m from somewhere with an age of consent of 16. Places with AoC of 18 would obviously be skewed older).
When one of the people is on the younger side, the old rule of thumb (age of older person/2+7) is a best practice for what would be considered inappropriate.
- Comment on Japan’s national library says it won’t be preserving Switch 2 Game-Key Cards | VGC 3 weeks ago:
I also can’t say I know for sure, but given how grubby Nintendo is and the crap they get away with, it wouldn’t even surprise me if they’re somehow an exception to such a rule.
- Comment on Japan’s national library says it won’t be preserving Switch 2 Game-Key Cards | VGC 3 weeks ago:
Makes perfect sense since there’s not really any media on them, not to mention being a massive waste of public funding.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 weeks ago:
Very true. I realise I should have picked my wording better in my original post that was meant to be little more than a quick summary. When I said ‘feminist side’ I did not wish to refer to all feminists but specifically the new generation type otherwise known as the ‘feminazi’ or ‘those loud unempathetic bitches you see on Tiktok’.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 weeks ago:
I can’t say I’ve encountered that. I don’t doubt there are reasonable feminists out there but the ones I’ve encountered have been the “all men are trash” type.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 weeks ago:
From the feminist side, there’s a lack of empathy towards men because “they did it to themselves” and from most other camps it’s “men are supposed to be tough, stop being a pussy”.
- Comment on Is it realistic to hope that lemmy grows to the size of the bigger social media platforms? 3 weeks ago:
Also a good point.
- Comment on Is it realistic to hope that lemmy grows to the size of the bigger social media platforms? 3 weeks ago:
Precisely this. The more people come here, the more of the judgemental shitheads are going to come too. I’ve encountered a few on here already but nothing like back there.
- Comment on Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté? 1 month ago:
Because the world is ruled by sociopaths.

I can add that on Jerboa it displays properly in the text body but not the title.

I believe that’s an attempt at formatting superscript.
- Comment on when is "cool" fine and when is it rude? 2 months ago:
Then it’s context. If you’re going for the excited delivery, try throwing in a ! other it could be misinterpreted as uncaring or dismissive.

Once. By accident. Just grabbed a pair off a shelf that were labeled with my size and that was it. Hated them. So impractical.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
And taking that a step further, I believe it was Blackberry that was proliferating the free text messages thing at the time (so long as it was to another Blackberry) so that could even have led to not enough market room for third-parties like WhatsApp and Kik to dominate the way they did.
