I don't know who would judge a child for seeing lolicon, since no one would know about it but the child. I would agree interpersonal emotional support and therapy needs to be a more available and acceptable resource for everyone.

As I said explicitly, messed up from freely available lolicon comics and content on the internet. The vices you list all require physical exchanges with others or would usually be noticed by adults nearby, and so they aren't really com

Children and young people getting a hold of lolicon comics, where pedophilia is normalized through the story, can harm them for life. No one seems to have the imagination to think about this. Adults looking at it is of course harmless, but

The first article from 2004 has two anthropologists say they "believe" evolutionary psychology can explain exclusionary behavior, while the second has the line "While extrapolating this to mean that the babies are racist or b

Or to put it another way, the protesters are revealing their own identities by making their info public. I am skeptical of how useful this is in the long run. It's therapeutic for some of my fellow leftists ("haha, this person&#x2

The idea of "meaning" is synonymous with agreement. Individual words "mean" things because we agree on the mapping. "Subjective, individual meaning" seems to just refer to personal thoughts and interpretation.

I've played four or five different multiplayer games on it and it's indeed great. But they're leaving a lot of potential innovation on the backburner: The touch screen and the the Joycon accelorometers/advanced rumble ar

I totally get that. That theory's interesting and I agree the game shouldn't aspire to have the same sort of player experience/base as those of CoD or PUBG. The lack of voice chat is no problem for me, though the app is terri

The Switch has a huge amount of potential, but it lacks the games still. None of the big releases so far use the platform to its fullest: they're really good video games, not necessarily good _Switch_ games. BOTW, Splatoon 2, Mario Kar

It is a bad trend, and thoughtful American writers like Glenn Greenwald have written strongly against it. But the idea a government censoring the internet is a more extreme, less arguable perversion of human cooperation...

Yes, and all those silly folks who get upset about reactor meltdowns, surprised that radiation is harmful over and over again, are hilarious. That's totally the dynamic on display here.

If someone dumped their trash on your lawn, you wouldn't be surprised or emotional in the least? Just sighing and saying "Tragedy of the commons..." doesn't seem like the best attitude for a social animal to have

All pollution crises are "perfectly predictable"? Can you tell us when and where the next major nuclear disaster will happen?

Could it be that the surprise is actually at the fact of the materials being dumped into the ocean rather than contained in landfills and the like?

I see the logic here, though I would forgive people who didn't grow up on the internet for treating chat like real life (where no-one says "hello" without a moment's pause after). I think people are slowly catching on th

From the essay: "For example, it is sometimes claimed that CEOs get paid too much, or that the super-wealthy do not pay enough in taxes. My claim has nothing to do with either of these debates. You can hold my position and simultaneous

I understand where you're coming from, but I was more focusing on the difference between a household name (e.g. MLK, Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela) verses being the subject of a footnote or a chapter in books that are only read by graduat

It is rare that true heroism can be framed as a catchy story. Those working for campaign finance reform is another example. People who fight "David-like" against these Goliaths are doing extremely radical work, and they will be ca

It's disturbing that Glenn Greenwald is kept far enough away from mainstream recognition by liberal gatekeepers that people still have to come to this conclusion independently instead of just reading any one thing he's written for
