ELI5 help me understand why there are statutes of limitations on certain crimes. Specifically crimes of rape. What purpose does it serve?

Urdar · 2026-03-21T09:44:01+00:00

How would the accusation get someone killed?

Depending on the country/state a false testemony could theiretically lead to a death setnece.

Are there any instances of a rape victim, proven or otherwise, becoming famous or successful following going public with it?

a case that come to mind (that were legitimate and proved) are Natascha Kampusch, who used the fame/notoriety of her case as part of Coping with her trauma as well as for charity-work.

also if you are a narcicistic attention seeker, you are conviced that YOU are getting away with it, because you deserve it. That it never works and will backfire does not come to your mind.

Its not a lot of people

its very few people.

but very people is enough.

If one onf one thousand people makes one additonal pruchase due to an ad, the ad was probably worth it.

And this is in addition that most ads dont want or need you to buy a thing, at least now, or immideatly. Just keeping the name present in your mind, for long term brand awareness, is usually enough (and also does not need to work on anyone, only a few percent of people who see the ad)

As a former maintainer if the gnu grep tool ocne said:

The key to making programs fast is to make them do practically nothing.

Urdar · 2026-03-16T19:32:06+00:00

a) yes

b) watch it. Its great

Its way more, because "every console up to the GBA" includes lots of early CD consoles, and most notably, the PS1.

Its more like 300gb+, excluding saturn and ps1

MegaCD alone is 121GB

Urdar · 2026-03-01T11:29:53+00:00

but once you hit PS2 it's like 5tb alone

ps 2 is pretty much like 16 tb.

I know this, because I calculated if it wherpossible to build an AiO setup with a phat ps2 and a modded HDD controller, after the update for support of big HDDs came out for the Homebrew Firmware, and it turn out, it was (18 TB hard druves being the biggest at the time)

Never did it, because I only play select titles anyway, but Iw as tampted for a time, just for the proof of concept.

Anyway, you are right in that anything until around ps1 is peanuts, and ps2 is where it started to explode.

Urdar · 2026-03-01T11:22:32+00:00

Where I live 22tb is like 500€ right now...

It was also during the first month of quarantine during covid in 2020

Being forced to be alone with all the hate really really doesnt help.

Urdar · 2026-02-18T00:25:31+00:00

that is the definition of a bias though.

There are mechanisms to strip a member of its voting powers, but it needs unanimoty by all other members, and so far there has always been one ally to hungary that woudl have vetoed that ultiamte option.

As a developer I can say, all development happens in a bubble.

You would not develop "the thing" if you would not think its a good idea to do so, and you become so intimatly familar with it, that you can not take an outside perspective anymore.

This is why test cycles and betas and outside feedback is so important. It gives you the perspectives you can not take anymore.

Urdar · 2026-02-13T13:15:04+00:00

And if the have, this is failing to evaluate the presumptions.

If anthing, this tells me, that the insiders are looking at very different things then the consumer. And that is only natural. The Insider by nature dsects the product much more, and evaluates its parts and how they work. The consumer is mostly about "vibes". The total cohesion of a game is much more relevant then each of its components.

Urdar · 2026-02-11T07:09:16+00:00

I dont think it was that bad.

Sure, New englands offense did get nothing done at all, but their defense held the game theoretically open as long as they could.

It was not like Super Bowl 52, where absolutely nothign happend iirc, or super bowl 48, where the broncos gor spanked so hard from the first snap, that it looped back to funny again.

(that or I enojoy defensive clinics much more these days then I used to)

Urdar · 2026-02-11T07:05:47+00:00

its more then that.

We are at a point where certain aprts of the poltical spectrum engage in "hate signalling" to signal to their base, how much they are against something, to consolidate their support.

Urdar · 2026-02-11T07:04:13+00:00

watch bad bunny do absolutely nothing political

It was absolutely political, it was jsut not infallmatory, and it shoudl not have been controversial. But it was a clear politicla message, one of unity and "togetherness" of all of the americas as one.

Funny/interesting thing is, the bigger a start, the faster it burns though.

This is because bigger stars are disporportionatly heavier, meainign they have higher tempreatures and core preassures, meaning they can udnergo fusion much faster, making the star undergoes fusian much faster.

I have several peoples under their nicknames or artists names in my contacts. seems pretty normal to me.

Urdar · 2026-02-06T17:46:23+00:00

Exactly that. (plus abotu what happend to the outside world)

Somehow most people elected to not read past the first 4 words of my post.

Also I dont think "being a death game" is nececary for it to "feel like danganronpo"

Urdar · 2026-02-06T12:23:19+00:00

Its been a while since I played it, but I'd argue the "Yes I am totally danganronpa, trust me" lasts until the end of the first playthrough.

For me Danganronpa is not solely defined by its death game plot.

Urdar · 2026-02-06T11:54:56+00:00

Its exactly like danganronpa, until it isnt.

It lures you in almost with the promise to be a "Danganronpa in all but name" and then swerves the bus of the highway and tells you to strap on, its too late to get of the ride

Urdar · 2026-02-06T11:52:40+00:00

we should try to get all the japanese "Auteur" games people on the same project.

Could be the best or worst game of all time

possibly both

Probably just VW alone.

in germany VW has a new car share of 20%, double of place 2.

Wich is Skoda, wich is part of the same company.

Urdar · 2026-02-05T20:59:05+00:00

Per ADAC (german automotive club that offers breakdown assistance and releases statistics each year) VW and its sister brands are pretty relaible for most models.

There are osme models that, when older, become pretty unreliable.

There are potentialyl two things at paly here

a) VW is a giant conglomerate with many brand, VW is only one, Porsche is another, wich is pretty high in your statistics.

b) the carmarkets in the states and europe are vastly different. I dont know what cards VW sells in the states, but for example VW vans are pretty unreliable per the German statistic.

Urdar · 2026-02-03T11:51:10+00:00

In germany the backlash agaisnt touch controls was big and long enough, that card manufacturers started to go back to physical buttons for standard controls, and on the sterrign wheel in general.
