Yep though I do think this technical distinction you bring up is really only relevant in a clinical context.

Meanwhile the one between "pedophile" and "child abuser" is extremely important in real-life prevention of child abuse. The ideas that 1) only people with sexual attraction to kids would sexually abuse kids, and 2) if you feel sexual attraction to kids obviously you're gonna act on it, both seem logical but have both been comprehensively disproven.

A huge added barrier here is that people - for understandable reasons - don't want to really try to think through and reason logically about such a disgusting and emotionally laden subject, much less empathize with a pedophile. Unfortunately that exactly is required if we're not just looking to satisfy our vengeful sense of justice, but actually do something for the victims and prevent further child abuse.

Both points you raise are really important in understanding how child abuse happens and how to prevent it. Which is why I'm extremely annoyed that we treat the terms "pedophile" and "child abuser" as the same.

But you can't normally bring that up or people think you're defending child abusers for some reason.

This makes total sense due to the square-cube law (and cell sizes I suppose).

Have you considered relatively thicker sticks, like a log on a slower-burning fire? That should mitigate it a bit.

Some moron is gonna vibe code a script that spoofs this on the surface. Yea it'll be detectable, but not detected in most cases.

I ran Arch on my rig in 2023 and didn't use it for a few months. The next update broke a ton of shit including KDE.

Next time I might go with Bazzite. Or Manjaro and just take better care of it.

We just all set it to yellow the entire time so people don't think they can call out of the blue.

After a full month of imprisonment in a camp run by fascist paramilitary troops, you absolute dolts.

Not the majority.

But I've found myself surprised at seemingly educated, well-traveled, sensible US Americans suddenly dropping the most obviously, embarrassingly unreflected nationalist supremacist bullshit as purported fact. While paying lip service to supposed US-specific virtues which they completely go against in everything else they say.

Nationalism is a poison on the brain. The privilege of travelling only affords you the opportunity to see it clearly for what it is. Most people subjected to its propaganda still stick with what they were taught rather than rebuilding their whole worldview.

I was fine with Power Delivery, but this really doesn't need to be part of the USB standard.
