discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

[ccxvidonaferens]

I'm not sure what version they have, I was mostly reading reviews to see people's reactions.

As for illegal stuff, my worry with that is what happens when some country passes weird laws? Like banning any video games with violence or banning any games with religious themes? I'm not sure how the law works on this but I'm worried we are moving towards a least common denominator with the internet as a whole, such as the US forces IP laws on countries that don't agree.

With that case, would it make sense to just have certain games not visible in those countries?

That looks like a they problem. I guess they would throw a lot of money at people until it get "fixed", much like china does.

The deciding factors now are no longer really the laws of individual countries, but the laws in the largest market. Things will be designed/developed/manufactured to the laws and regulations of the largest market where the product will be sold. If there is anything that needs to be added/cut to comply with laws in a smaller market then it will be done so just for those items sold in that market. If the standards of the larger market are acceptable in other markets without changes then no changes will be made. It's all about minimising costs and maximising profits.

As an example the European Union passed legislation requiring all new build cars to have an automatic speed/rev limiter fitted from a certain date (I forget when). Now this limiter can be turned off through the onboard menus but will reset every time the engine is turned off, the idea being people will get used to it or get tired of turning it off all the time so will end up leaving it. Now there is no requirement for such a system for cars in the UK but it will still be there. It is not going to be something you can request to be not implemented.

Now while I can understand the rationale and the theory behind this idea, what it does is not factor in what will be some of the real world consequences. It will be great in urban areas where speed limits are fairly consistent from street to street but when you start heading to main highways or rural areas it is going to cause gridlock and bring traffic to a halt in certain areas as there are several junctions where you will have to try going from 0 up to 60 very quick in order to actually get out onto the road without risking causing an accident.

This actually is part of an ancient, extremely dangerous esoteric knowledge.
I can't expose an untrained mind to the infinite, unspeakable cosmic horror it contains......

Ok, I'm done with my dollar-store Lovecraftian bullshitery, so here's the explanation : I was asking if they used the word "chocolatine" or "pain au chocolat" to refer to the iconic french viennoiserie pastry. It's a reference to an ancient quarrel that has been going on since time immemorial, that only french people can understand

I'd just call it a croissant.

Every masochist favorite dessert: chocolate pain!

There is a chain of cafes called "Au Bon Pain," we used to joke that it sounds like the name of a stage wrestler, "Au Bon PAIN."

New Jersey (US State) passed a law awhile ago that would require that once a gun manufacturer started producing a gun that could do electronic recognition that the person holding it was a registered user, that all manufacturers selling in NJ would be required to have that feature on their guns. So all the manufacturers agreed to slow roll R&D on it and over two decades later nobody sells one.

morning people, hope everything is well, anything based happening?

A lot of things happened, you just need to do a backreading to find it out Pay attention to people like @Safetydummy @matthiacallus @PsychicJohn @TheDude14 @jsmith666 @Amman @Slumdum @kikomascado and so, so many other backreader-heroes to name here!

Backreaders are not really worth it anymore just keep yapping and banking it is more stable than those reacts.
They barely even give me 2k. Just have ton of coins in the bank they will make you more coins than reacts.
Eventually you can go back to lurking if you choose to.

Only lore you need to know is that Sleaze React is the one you should use.

To even receive a single reaction from an old post, makes me happy. I wake up some days with more than 30 reactions. When my bank account was under 4 ciphers, that helped me a lot to keep growing.

interesting, I'll be totally honest, this is literally the first forum or anything I've every interacted with, I mean the most I have ever done online is press the like button, I actually don't know how to react lol

I mean I trust replying more since it is more stable and I can predict it with math and give a probability of how much I will be in a week or so.

Yes, thank you to all the back readers that add reactions to old posts

Just let it flow and engage when you think you may add something of value or just to insert a pun or a joke. That's mostly what this is about. There are tons of cross-talks here, don't try to follow everything XD

Don't take that statement and any statement here literally. There are some cult emoji Sleazers here lmao

Just out of curiosity, why you need so many LC? Once I reached P4 I wonder if I will be in need any grinding.
