  • Of age and consenting does not equal willingness or a lack of explorationexploitation. There was a victim who has done some interviews, she was of age, and one could argue she did consent. But she was heavily pressured. She found herself being brought to the island by a girl she was on a modeling shoot with. I can’t remember all of the details but essentially she was made to feel like participation was expected and everyone just did it. Eventually this led to a relationship where she was trafficked to other men.

    Hearing her speak, she sounded like she felt obligated. And when she didn’t return calls or other communications, they would escalate to harassment levels of contact.

    The women who were of age were still kids. I think about where I was at 25, I didn’t know shit. An 18 y/o newly on her own, in a place she’s never been, without close friends or family, could easily be exploited.


  • Just leaned about this and backed it this morning. Probably an impulse buy I’ll regret.

    The idea of a phone replacement crossed my mind as an after thought.

    Mostly going for it for novelty and I thought it could be nice to have a handheld to maybe do some development on. The keyboard will likely frustrate me and the screen will probably strain my aging eyes.

    Yeah I shouldn’t be able to buy things before my first cup of coffee.

    How about Genocidal GOP or Genocidal 45

    Language and words have great power. Walking around attaching the word genocide to a man who has at worse not done enough in a very complex situation will cause great harm to the electorate. You may be propping up the uncommitted vote, but not everyone will understand that, many may just see the genocide and not vote for Biden ever or worse vote for the orange idiot.

    Meanwhile you have politicians who will kill Americans with their policies. And you have a potential future president who would put boots on the ground in Gaza and do just about whatever they could to see Ukraine returned to Russia.

    Words have power. A simple phrase will stick more than the meaning behind it. There is a reason crooked Hilary worked so well, and no one can tell you why she might be crooked beyond her emails and Benghazi. Even then they only know those words, they don’t know the meaning behind them. We need all of the votes we can get in November.
