How could we, as commenters on this post, possibly evaluate this relationship objectively?

(And, “your son probably shouldn’t do that” is different from “this is disgusting and your son is scum”. You keep strawmanning the worst version of my argument that you can think of. Please don’t.)

I think it’s more of an “err on the side of caution” thing.

That’s a lukewarm take tbh

AI is a pretty good tool for this sort of thing though. If you don’t know what to ask, or need an example, etc.

Surely the law can’t determine what the morally correct age is, because the law varies by state.

We should be opposed to significant* age gaps in principle because we cannot trust the person who has power in the relationship, nor the one who doesn’t, to determine if the relationship is healthy or dangerous.

*honestly, the 1/2 + 7 meme is shockingly accurate at determining this

Ultimately, it’s because the foundational ideas of communism don’t scale.

He should reject her because he should be opposed to such a large age gap. FWIW this fails the half + 7 rule by a LOT (5.5 years).

Wikipedia and a lot of games. A bunch of programming tools and libraries. My Spotify playlist. Video is the least efficient so you’d have to limit that a lot.

So true, I don’t know shit I have a lot to say (lmao I’m gonna stop it there that’s PERFECT)

This isn’t plausible yet, we don’t even know enough about the brain to simulate it even if we had the computing power. Possible within the next 60 years? I guess, but not guaranteed.

It’s already easy enough to socially engineer politicians, let’s not make it easier

Thank you spujb, you’re very helpful :)

There’s room for a few issues at once. Gender still plays an important social role and I won’t stop anyone from fighting for justice just because it’s not my one chosen issue.

i just don’t like something instant, i do enjoy the process of everything that i do though

Exactly; the process itself feels good. I hope you continue to enjoy it.

just asking for opinion here, all opinions are welcome

By declaring all opinions on a factual topic equally valid, you’re giving the same weight to reality as you do to misinformation. I do not welcome misinformation. This may seem close-minded, but having an open mind doesn’t mean accepting everything as equally true.

I noticed it was a direct PDF download (based). I have a 7 hour car ride coming up, if it doesn’t make me too carsick I might read it!

Gee, thanks

That is kinda fucked up isn’t it?

Yup. Even the most crazy experimental treatments have gone through dozens. Common medicines are one of the most studied substances on the planet.
