rant
@Mr_NutterButter i think people just fundamentally do not understand the reason age of consent laws exist in the first place. it is mostly about keeping children safe from exploitation by people outside of their peer groups. maybe it's just different cultures or something but at least where i'm at, a 14 and a 17 year old could be attending the same school and the same youth groups (sports, church, clubs, etc). hell they could even be on the same varsity sports team in some circumstances.
obviously, though maybe not so obviously to some retards, if someone ages out of that peer group while dating someone within it, it's a completely different situation since they were in that group when they started dating. it's not like the dude is going to turn 18 and then immediately have bad intentions or some shit.
from the context given in the clip that i saw, it seemed like the people on the tv show were all in college, so we're talking about some like brilliant 14 year old with a smart 17 year old taking college classes together and we're trying to act like the guy is going to take advantage of her by default or some shit. just weird, man.
the actual weird part of the clip was that it seemed like the dude was being basically blackmailed into dating her anyway, even though he felt uncomfortable with the age difference, but that's besides the point.
@rosey i mean, if a theoretical robot like that were an arm of the law then it wouldn't really be any different from other types of public surveillance. or private surveillance, for that matter. mcdonald's is already surveilling everyone in and around the building. if you drive by a cop or stop at an intersection you're probably on camera. that's just kind of how it is.
i was thinking the other day how wild it is that there was a time when cellphones didn't exist so you couldn't just call the cops anywhere. you'd have to like run over to a building or a phone booth to do it. i think that's only going to continue in that trend, where eventually there will be AI in all these cameras and shit that will be able to notify the cops a crime is taking place before anybody is even able to grab their phone.
i think if i saw what i knew was a cop bot following a dude i'd gtfo xD not because of the robot but because of the dude it is following around lol.
@rosey i can see it if it was like, fuckin robocop who would just kill them on the spot if they committed a crime again and it was a probation thing
otherwise though they are completely useless lol
Since I don't have to pay for my figures and fumos until the end of the year, I might hold off on doing so until then. Who the fuck knows with this administration... the tariffs might not be an issue by then and I can get cheaper shipping. It's about $100 for the shipping alone right now... I'm willing to take that bet.
@Moto_Chagatai I don't understand why the movie was rated R but they still didn't give her nipples like wtf is this shit
@rosey I've played a little bit of San Andreas, 5, and whatever the fuck that PSP one was. I don't get the hype. They're decent games but I don't really care.
@LordMordred luce is the best thing the Catholic Church has done in at least 300 years.

Western Media Won’t Call IDF Gang Rape What It Is
Western media has failed to accurately describe events at the heart of an Israeli military scandal, after the country’s top military lawyer was arrested for leaking footage of #IDF soldiers allegedly gang-raping a Palestinian prisoner.
The attack was so brutal that the man was hospitalised with a ruptured bowel, severe anal and lung injuries and broken ribs.
Sky News, BBC, Channel 4, The Guardian, Financial Times, Bloomberg, The Times, The Telegraph and The Independent failed to use the word ‘rape’ in their headlines when reporting on the story.
Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the leak “perhaps the most severe public relations attack that the State of #Israel has experienced”.
Defence minister Israel Katz accused Tomer-Yerushalm of participating in “blood libel” against the alleged rapists.
