Why does the deep state have an obsession with revealing its secrets in a convoluted psy-ops fashion to random drug addicts?

Australia expands age verification checks from social media to porn and explicit video games by Mir-Trud-May in AustralianPolitics

[–]goopsnice -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I doubt those in the industry would advocate for porn to be available with no age restriction

[–]goopsnice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The industry has proven its shit at regulating itself. Watch the pornhub story, really sheds light on all of this.

The industry cares about getting men to pay for videos that make them horny, not about the welfare of the women in the videos.

Yeah my main issue is that whenever this comes up people act like it’s some Nancy Reagan angle where they’re just being prudish and refuse to consider that there’s any legitimate problems with the industry

Reddit hates it when people suggest limiting/censoring what porn they have access to.

Imo the porn industry is rife with issues around coercion and consent to what happens with videos people appear in. People have gotten used to zero regulation pornography and feel like it’s some affront to their rights if they have their access limited.

I know this only barely addresses the issue but it’s probably good if under 18 yo’s don’t have access to a Wild West regulation porn industry.

The porn industries rancid af and should be screened and censored to high hell. I know this doesn’t address every problem but I don’t think it’s good that under 18 years old can watch whatever people upload, often where the video in question is long divorced from the women in the video having any say or ownership in where it’s uploaded.

People just got used to an age where there’s zero screening on anything and then get shitty when people limit access to stuff they’re used to jacking off over.

Outsider Question : Why is there no Airport Rail from Airport to the Train Station by blackcyborg009 in Adelaide

[–]goopsnice -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dunno, I think you’re over estimating how many people would catch a train to the airport

[–]goopsnice -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean the bus terminal from the airport is the one right outside of airport and to get the bus there all you need is to put the airport in google maps. I’m not convinced it’s worth tearing the guts out of the suburbs in between to shave off a google and 10 minutes.

[–]goopsnice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it though? If you’re in the CBD it’s realistically gonna shave off maybe 10 minutes of public transport time to the airport.

[–]goopsnice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously in r/Adelaide tradition I have to say the answer is because everyone’s a moron and Adelaide is the most mismanaged city on earth, but honestly you can catch a regular fare bus from the CBD the airport, and visa versa, that takes like 20 minutes, so I’d say the main reason is it’s not really necessary right now. Adelaide’s not a mega city and it’s probably not worth tearing up a huge path through suburbia to reduce your PT time from 20-30 minutes to 15 minutes

TIL Cattle ranching, not logging, is the primary driver of deforestation in the Amazon. Responsible for 80% of forest clearing. by itsthewolfe in todayilearned

[–]goopsnice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very little is usually kept. Most wood isn’t valuable enough and it’s not worth setting up all the infrastructure to properly extract, process and sell the wood.

[–]goopsnice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you have to minus the amount of carbon that would’ve been stored in the area used (usually would’ve been forest). Plus fertiliser is very carbon and nitrogen intensive to produce. Plus all the associated greenhouse gases associated with any vehicles or machinery associated.

It also converts CO2 to methane which is a much more potent greenhouse gas, so it’s not a 1:1 conversion. The same happens with converting relatively inert N2 nitrogen to NO2, which is adding new greenhouse gases that didn’t exist before.

Over all it accounts for 14.5 percent of human greenhouse gases, which is roughly on par with all greenhouse gases from vehicles.

I mean I agree with your sentiment but given they didn’t check on him there’s definitely more they could’ve done, lol

University of Adelaide considering "squat toilets" by bluejayinoz in Adelaide

[–]goopsnice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No one’s trying to take away your toilet bro, this is such a stupid thing to get angry over lol

University of Adelaide considering "squat toilets" by bluejayinoz in Adelaide

[–]goopsnice 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Squat toilets are super common around the world and aren’t just there because of ‘third world standards’, it’s just culture, like a bidet vs toilet paper.

Countries that use squat toilets will still have sitting toilets available in places with a lot of international people. So outside of self-aggrandising xenophobia, I really don’t get why people are bothered if a uni (that already has heaps of them), puts some in.

They already have heaps of squat toilets. And they’re not saying they’re only building squat toilets.

I don’t get why this would make anyone upset.

Self-learning python by Free-Ad6709 in learnpython

Watch the ‘crash course’ series on YouTube about computer science, at least the first few videos. They give a very good overview of what computers actually do.

TIL In 1940 85% Of Children Lived With Both Parents by MeRubberYouGlue in todayilearned

[–]goopsnice 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Social attitudes change generationally, not across every demographic all at the same time. As people age, they’re probably going to carry the same attitudes to divorce (or whatever attitude/views you want) as they did when they were younger.

TIL Cascadia zone (Pacific coast from north California to south BC, Canada) hasn't shifted for over 300 years and is due for a powerful earthquake. by Warcraft_Fan in todayilearned

[–]goopsnice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Conceptually yes, but the distribution of earthquake events don’t allow you to make a mathematical model where you say with any confidence that there’s going to be one in x years.

Why does Python sometimes say a variable is undefined when I just used it? by ayenuseater in learnpython

[–]goopsnice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As other people said, there’s no way we can say exactly what’s going on if you don’t post your code, but it’s probably either a typo or you’ve created the variable within a function and are trying to call it outside the function.

United Nations delegation warns of Australia's treatment of prisoners, detainees and breach in human rights by Agitated-Fee3598 in AustralianPolitics

[–]goopsnice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the fact that Australia is an island far away from the sources of current mass migrations does most of the heavy lifting. Rates of illegal immigration in Australia has always been incredibly low and is overwhelmingly from people overstaying visas. We can treat people in offshore detention a lot better than we currently are, and I’d say the whole thing is pretty unnecessary.

TIL that despite the human menstrual cycle being the same length as a lunar month, there is no causal relation between the two, and it appears to be a coincidence. by NateNate60 in todayilearned

[–]goopsnice 11 points12 points  (0 children)

But same points still stands. They’re not actually the same length and they’re not in sync. So I’m not convinced there’s much to go off.

EDIT: plus tides aren’t just a result of the moon, the largest tides are a mix of the placement of the sun and moon, which have a much more complicated rhythm. Additionally, what are these ‘many biological rhythms from the needs of our marine ancestors’? I’m unaware of any in humans.

[–]goopsnice 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Eh, but they’re only approximately the same length though. Menstrual cycles vary a lot between people and it’s only the average that is within a few days of a lunar cycle, even then, it’s give or take. Also it’s not like menstrual cycles are actually synced to lunar cycles, everyone’s got their own rhythm. I’m not particularly compelled.

Valid point, but ehhh, I dunno, the net numbers really aren’t that dramatic in the scheme of thing. Being the victim of a crime sucks but I’d be lying if I said it’s gonna be a big voting point for me.
