Steam has a 2 week refund policy, as long as you've played for less than 2 hours of game time. Buy it and try it, if unhappy refund it

"We can't help X populace because Y populace would ruin it." Never heard that argument before. Another reason it wouldn't work, someone with a frame of mind that MAP = pedo would dox everyone on that list.

There's never going to be a time we're "ready" for that conversation. So the conversation needs to just start so that when we're ready the ball is already moving.

To be clear, fuck pedos. People that actually diddle kids, absolutely fuck you kill yourself. But, people that have those urges and are working on themselves to control said urges? Good on them. And I absolutely wish them the best of luck in their endeavours and hope they're able to find someone and somewhere they can talk to without stigma.

While that may be the case, when by terms of service the "fee" you pay to consume YouTube content is adverts, by blocking those adverts you are not paying the "fee" therefore it kinda is piracy. The argument about adverts with malicious intent or ones that are specifically designed to be deceptive is a different argument, though relevent for why said piracy occurs.

YouTube is free to you because you watch adverts. Otherwise you pay for YouTube premium. By using ad-blockers you circumvent these agreements.

I wholly support ad-blocking for the record, literally used ad-blockers my entire life and have absolutely no qualms with usage.
