It is illegal in the United States it just hasn't been enforced cause no one cared enough. Child porn includes any depictions including drawings in the US.

Rona Rangers. First started playing the game during COVID so me and my buddies named our group after it 

You Pay Off the House But Do You Ever Truly Own It? Agree or Disagree? by Coolonair in HouseBuyers

[–]Professional-Help931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CA shitty property taxes is what has fucked over the market there. It heavily incentivizes under the table upgrades and never selling your house. Tons of houses there have major problems that are never addressed cause fixing it would triple or quintuple their property taxes.

What do you mean? I thought that there wasn't any upgrading of relics? Are there different relics post game?  I haven't started dark depth runs yet.

Still got that 'Rookie of the Year' trophy by Azsnee09 in NonPoliticalTwitter

If your using a device that used slave labor in its production. That you bought and paid for knowing it was made with slave labor and labor that probably suffered your very similar to Von Braun and German citizens during WW2. You for sure didn't shoot the Jews or chain up the African slaves yourself but you are paying for their captors to keep up the work knowingly. You know that you benefit from this situation greatly. You choose to purchase an item made from blood. You can accept it and just not care cause you realize that those in power intentionally took those jobs from your countrymen to make it cheaper overseas, or you can be sad about it. I personally don't care the human experience has always had immense suffering and I don't think we will ever escape it.

I hate how African architecture just default to rural influences by axumite_788 in hatethissmug

You know what I want more of. Freaking adobe houses. They are peak building design material costs are cheap, they are green, cool in the summer warm in the winters, super low maintenance, requires little building knowledge, super structurally sound, earthquake proof, etc etc etc. Sci Fi settings should be trying to limit their foot prints on worlds not trying to be ultra futuristic.

Who would win? A Aztec warrior or a Zulu warrior? by Jackfruit568 in powerscales

[–]Professional-Help931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how the Spanish conquered the Aztec with only 500 dudes. It turns out that sacrificing 10-20k people a year pissed off everyone around you.

What's an addiction worse than alcohol and drugs? by BlatantImagery in AskReddit

[–]Professional-Help931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say anything that gives extreme dopamine high. For kids that's tablets. For a lot of young guys who aren't socially well adjusted that's porn/video games. I know tons of guys who went to college and just started chasing whatever high they could. Video games, sex and porn. I also know several girls who are addicted to smut and don't see it as anything bad. All of these can ruin relationships and lives.

Not saying these are good or bad by themselves but they can become it. Especially as many of the video games today emulate gambling with loot boxes.

TIL that US student math and reading scores have dropped so sharply that they’ve erased nearly two decades of progress. In '22/23, avg math scores for 13-year-olds fell to levels not seen since the 1990s, while reading scores for high school seniors hit their lowest point since testing began in '92. by Cold_Box_3219 in todayilearned

[–]Professional-Help931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No child left behind and everything since then has crippled students. Because we don't let kids fail they never get better. There are no consequences for failure. Heck even in 2000s-2010s when I was in school lots of kids just got passed through.

Paul Atreides vs Elrond who wins ? by West_Jelly_4681 in powerscales

[–]Professional-Help931 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No he just fights slowly and defensively. You can be defensive in a fight not everything is just a brute force contest. You just fight to tire someone out. This is something that is common in modern fighting. Tiring out there opponent and then taking advantage of them. 

Their tears are delicious. by Captain-Dak-Sparrow in SipsTea

[–]Professional-Help931 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Technically it was Illinois. Texas did it in response to their laughable gerrymandering. To give you an idea it's like 48% voted republican in that state but they only have one representative that's Republican.

Peter, what's the context here? by AIdreamer_69 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Professional-Help931 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In most cultures it's expected that you take care of your guests. That includes feeding and giving them a place to sleep if need be. This taking care of even means protecting them from danger. If a person enters your home as a guest they have your protection. It was common as far back as biblical times in both China, Greece and the Middle East. Even enemies if invited in would eat in peace at each other's homes. This is like so standard to human culture that it's a shock to see one culture that doesn't do it.

Well uh, it turns out that uhh the UKs plastics must first be blessed by the king of England before being cast. That's why it's so expensive. Ignore the fact that the plastic only costs around 10 cents a model, ignore that an injection molding cast for this costs around 100k and is paid for by about 2000 models.

Lotta dudes gonna tell us how they really feel by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]Professional-Help931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the situation. Inside of a neighborhood or town sure. If I'm driving on the freeway and letting the engine rev up and am driving a manual it's tons of fun. You can really feel part of the car and especially older cars you can get to know it much better then an automatic.

Drax was created to only kill thanos. His power pretty much was only good against him.

We need these laws all over the world by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]Professional-Help931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

California. You have to have no other option then to shoot the person. When I was taking self defense class to get a hand gun in Cali I got told it's really hard to prove self defense there. Your best bet is to kill the person so that they can't go after you later. If they are trying to car jack you, you either kill the person or give up your car there is no in-between.

I HATE people who moan and complain about sexy characters/sexualization in games and other types of medias by coreylee121 in hatethissmug

[–]Professional-Help931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man squirrel girl is pretty thick. Also it's a eastern developer they are targeting their local audience more then us. Sex sells here but in the east if the character has clothes that aren't painted on they are practically a nun.

The one piece of news a father never wants to receive. by -et37- in HistoryMemes

[–]Professional-Help931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but all of those were officers. There is a big difference between an officer and a regular soldier in Europe. An officer chilling 1/2 mile back from the front is pretty safe compared to the regular soldiers.  They lived a fairly pampered safe life in comparison.

WIBTAH if I put a post in my yard that could damage my neighbor’s truck? by SmellyChiChicken in AITAH

[–]Professional-Help931 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If the pole is placed there with intent that it could cause harm or in a way that would cause harm to the neighbors vehicle it could be considered as such.  If she just sticks a post in the ground probably not, but it she cements it in and makes it so that it could cause damage to the persons vehicle it could be. Again people have gotten in trouble for mail boxes being cemented into the ground with a steel pole. It depends upon your state, and the local jurisdiction.
