Comment Build a decent computer (Score 1) 720

Get a nice-looking large chasse like Fractal Design R4.

Don't go overboard with the graphics, a decent mid-ranged card every other year costs about the same as a top of the line every four years and produces about the same results over time.

Get good fans in all spaces.

Then it will be close to silent and won't look ugly.

Comment Will probably not be legal to own a car (Score 1) 454

When we reach a level where traffic is dominated by automated traffic, why would we even allow people on the roads?
Automated only means no stupid mistakes ever.

And more control for large players is quite popular as well.

So, not only will for hire be the norm, it will be the only alternative.

Give here a chromebook.

I gave my mother my old laptop with openbox and chrome on it, basically the same thing.

And she is happy with it.

Calls me far less than she did with her windows laptop, actually.

The only time it happens is when she needs the admin password for a new wifi.

You are wrong, it's telling who you are capable of falling in love with.
Stop focusing so much on sex, sexual orientation is an emotional and attraction issue, not a sexual perversion.

Except homosexuals are harassed, discriminated against, bullied, being told that they are sick, abnormal.
And so forth.
Just because they are incapable of falling in love with the opposite sex.

The problem is that obviously something as irrelevant as who somebody is capable of falling in love with is worthy of headlines.

Therefore it's worth normalizing it.

Since for some bloody reason it isn't already universally accepted to love each other.

There is nothing wrong with having a sexual orientation, no matter what it is.
Acting upon it can be bad.

Btw, Pedophiliacs are the only one of those three which is a sexual orientation, and a very sad one at that.
You can only romantically love pre-pubescents.
That is terribly sad.
Raping children is horrible though and is entirely separate.

Bestiality is the act of having sex with animals.
I believe you are looking for the term zoofiliacs, which is, just like Pedophiles, very sad.
And raping animals is a complex issue, especially since we do it with insemination.
Defining exactly why it feels worse when we enjoy raping them then when we do it to kill and eat their children is for me impossible, but, hey, not really the topic here?

Incest is not something which is related to sexual preference.
It's not like people who have sex with their family have no ability to be attracted or romantically involved with other people.
The issue is two-folded:
1: High risk for problematic offpsring, explaining why almost all humans have an aversion to the behaviour.
2: There is a high risk of problematic situations occuring when children have sex with parents or siblings.

It's not so much that homosexuality is different from any other sexual orientation, it's just that there is no logical reason to argue against it being a perfectly fine way to live your life.
Most sexual orientations barring hetero or BTQ are way less easy to incorporate into a decent life.
