Many child abusers are no pedophiles. And many pedophiles are no child abusers. You need to look up the exact numbers yourself but surprisingly many child abusers have no sexual attraction to kids. It's often about power and availability.

A walk in the park is a lot better, yeah.

Storage is a solvable problem. Whereas we don't have the resources to power the world with nuclear plants.

Nonono. There's no excuse to not make a door work mechanically. It should be easy and obvious to open from the inside. Why shit like this is even allowed is completely beyond me.

This comment chain is what American politics feel like as a European.

I loved that book, it was eye-opening. Being evil is mostly a cultural or peer pressure thing.

Social security, medical cost, food safety, product safety, consumer protection, worker protection are just some things off the top of my head where the EU is far ahead of the USA. We're only really dependent regarding defense, but honestly, the EU military would probably be enough to stand against Russia if it came to it.

I don't know how America survives without roller shutters. It's blackout dark in my home whenever I want it to.

If you haven't voted for Harris because of Gaza, congratulations. You sealed the fate of the remaining people living there. The US will increase their support and Bibi will feel more confident than ever. Palestine may be wiped out all together.

It doesn't fucking matter that Harris isn't everything you want from a president. She's far from perfect. I don't like her policies. The reality is that it was a choice between a conservative and a fascist. America chose fascism and the world will suffer.

Being a leftist and not voting because LoW aPpRoVaL is unbelievably irresponsible and I refuse to make excuses for people who stayed home.

Also you need a critical mass of people for a revolution to be successful. I don't see that any time soon.

We run a lot of Windows servers for specialized applications that don't really have viable alternatives. It sucks, but it's the same reason we use Windows clients.

Even if Trump doesn't further dismantle the already weak democratic systems in the US, the consequences of this election will be felt for many decades to come. Western allies will be ostracized, international climate efforts won't have a bloody chance now, authoritarianism will rise all around the world. Palestine will likely cease to exist, so may Ukraine and Georgia.

Lots of innocent people will die just because they happen to be LGBTQ or pregnant or not white. Poverty will increase. The courts will be filled with right-wing judges.

This election might be the most consequential political outcome ever since Hitler was appointed chancellor. It will be a fucking nightmare.

And every idiot who didn't vote for Harris is partly responsible. There is no bloody excuse.
