Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure you’re right. I remember seeing an interview some years ago where a collection of Trump supporters were being asked some questions, including ones in the vein of ‘if he did x’ and one of them was ‘If Trump shot a man in the street and killed him, would you still support him?’ and the answer was ‘That depends, did he deserve it?’. That one opened my eyes to the sort of people we’re dealing with when it comes to Trump supporters. The fact that he got in again since that only killed more of the little bit of faith I had in humanity.

Welcome to people. Instead of fixing the homelessness, governments would prefer to make the situation worse while doing their best to ignore it.

Looks more like roughly 40 people care which seems pretty accurate in general.

Koalas would be Bogan. “Luk at mee n ah’ll scratch ye eyes owt ya pommy cant!”

Look to the past. People are constantly doing the same dumb shit.

There’s no requirement for a person to be 6’ to realise OP isn’t near that height. Most people know their own height or at least an approximation. Someone 5’5" will notice this “6’ person” is only 3 inches taller than them and immediately know they’re a liar.

Then there are the ones where the writer thinks they’re funny…

Slice of life mostly has real names or spins on real names. Fantasy has fantasical names or ones the author thought sounded fantastical. Then lots of in-between.

You described eating meat as messing with your brain. Even if general effects are considered positive, it’s not exactly great and the crazy vegans (specifically vegans who are crazy, not calling all vegans crazy) would certainly sell it as messing with your brain chemistry.

Undercooked, not uncooked. The parasite is still active even in rare meat. It needs to be done to medium before it’s truly safe (grey all the way through and easily slips off the fork when inserted).

Beyond sounding like absolute anti-carnivore hogwash or placebo, it sounds like a weirdly accelerated case of that parasite you can get from eating undercooked red meat.

Using classic genre labels, would it not just be romance? Yaoi and yuri are special labels specifically because they’re “out of the norm”

No. Price has almost very little to do with reception and more to do with the general finish of the product. It used to mean more features too but there’s a rather pronounced bell curve on that aspect these days. If you’ve got a specific device in mind, GSMArena should be able to give you all the information you need.

Something similar to the spray they use on animals after a surgery? It’s safe for consumption but it tastes god-awful to stop the animal licking the wound.

While you’re wearing essentially a balloon or a strip of carpet and nothing else

A turd by any other name…

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.

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.

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.
