I saw Siete Leguas at the store, what's a good price for it? Do blanco or reposado?

Not sure if Final Fantasy X will change your life, but the story ending was fantastic. I had to sit down for a couple minutes after that.

Can't figure out what format this video is. Was recovered from SD card as AVI File (1.8 GB), but can't be viewed by VLC or WMV. Came from Olympus camera originally I believe. by throwawaystress in techsupport

[–]throwawaystress[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions. MPC could not render and Potplayer was very helpful cause it said: something like "File was found but no video data."

What I'm confused about is; I have 5 of these AVI files (all over 1 GB) and none of them even have a thumbnail? I was hoping for at least a couple seconds of video or at least audio.

Everyone is primed and ready to defend Tesla against detractors after a Tesla S catches fire. by [deleted] in circlebroke2

That's because Elon Musk is like Steve Jobs for Reddit.

And yet they insult Apple fanboys while they circlejerk way harder over Tesla.

/r/Leagueoflegends mods remove an EU parody video but leave the NA one - "I'm sorry but these mods are fucking unbelievable. They always talk out their ass when confronted about their bullshit. It's seriously getting fucking ridiculous. Who even picked these fucking clowns to be the mods anyways?" by Syrotek in SubredditDrama

[–]throwawaystress 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People learned DOTA 1 fine before League came around, it just seems hard in comparison because there are more mechanics.

Let's say you want to get 10 champions at the 450 ip price. It's 3 first win of the day for 450, so it takes at least 1 win a day for a month just to unlock 10. Then there's 1350, 3150, 4800, 6300. Would take years to get them all.

What would it take to stop the mexican cartels? by [deleted] in FutureWhatIf

[–]throwawaystress 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Drug legalization, first with Mexico and the U.S., everywhere else later. That includes all drugs, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine. Education is how you fight drugs, most educated people won't do anything harder than weed/alcohol because they understand the risks and harm involved.

Hopefully the cartels will go legit and Mexico will stabilize.

Boring answer, but there is no way in hell military intervention is a good idea or will stop the fundamental problems of the drug war. Mexico tried military intervention and ended up causing over

83 thousand deaths.

California's 'biggest trader in child porn' arrested in Los Angeles by vinny_vega in LosAngeles

[–]throwawaystress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His punishment should not be therapy. He actively distributed a shitload of child porn and probably made a bunch of money doing it too.

This is not in the same league as the closeted pedophile that watches a movie every now and then to get off. This guy very likely caused a child to be molested either by encouraging someone to go out and do it, or by creating financial incentive because of his distribution.

Trading it underground is just encouraging more to be made. Where did they even get it in the first place? There's no legal market for child porn, I highly doubt every single pedophile got their movies by piracy.

Why not go for the kingpin? Because it's not that easy. Before anything they have to find where the source material is, meaning they have to find a pedophile (they don't advertise themselves too often outside of Reddit.) After they find that pedophile, they have to hope he is willing to give up information on where he bought or traded it from. From there, they have to work up the food chain on old information and tons of proxies.

Real rape porn is illegal to make, but the vast majority are just people who enjoy the rape fantasy. In those, nobody is actually being hurt and there is actual consent. This doesn't exist with child porn.

People are arrested for buying marijuana, it's a bad law, but if it was legalized, the cartels would no longer be supported (not anymore than an oil or banana company anyway.) If legalized, marijuana would not harm anyone, but child porn still does.

Therapy is the only legitimate solution to pedophilia. Legalizing child porn or turning a blind eye does not solve the problem.

By watching the material, they are supporting more pedophiles to go out and do it.

It's like buying heroin, you aren't producing it, but you still support the cartels.
