If you're trying to format a picture, you need to leave 2 spaces at the end of a line for a line break.

Wow… Is there any org that doesn’t protect its pedos

One that have people outside their walls that check-up on them.

Public schools often do what they can to prevent/remove sex criminals. Being alone with a child in an area out of view may get you in trouble.
Law firms, and least in Canada, remove people very quickly. The Law societies will get you.

And once again, I have heard of police and military trying to protect pedos/rapists in their ranks, but not firefighters.

Our power in Sask is dirty enough that burning gas in the home is better for the environment than using electricity for water tanks. 500% heat pumps would be better in theory, but they're not good enough for our winters yet, and the financial costs still aren't in their favour.

29% of the power being generated is coal as I type this comment.

If you're not having a good time, stop. Life is too short.

If you're still interested in using linux, LinuxMint or PopOs! are what most people would recommend to a new user, not Arch.

Arch can be perfect for users with the time, knowledge, and effort to perfectly tailor things to suit their needs. They can make it perfectly efficient, without any excess.
I just want to use my computer whenever I want it to work. I am fine with it having a few extra packages/applications that I might never use. I've being using linux as main (or only) operating system on/off for about 20 years, and I currently use Mint.

Some games/software expected/relied on a certain CPU speed to run correctly. If your computer was faster than that, the software would run too fast. The turbo button let you toggle between the maximum speed your computer could go, and the speed that the software needed/expected in order to run normally.

Basically, there was an actual reason for the turbo button, it wasn't just marketing on computers.

The case specifically wasn't a good step. This is giving religion additional powers and privileges compared to non-religious beliefs.

It said if you say that you don't eat meat because [any reason that doesn't involve a magical immortal being] they won't accommodate, but they would need to accommodate for religion.

Accommodate everyone, or accommodate no one.

seize their family homeS.

That's about as far as you need to read before losing any empathy for them.

Opinions greatly differ on if those are great games.

I think they're not great, but they're just not build for me, which is fine. Not everything is everyone's cup of tea.

It's extremely clickbaity.

He wasn't working on it, and was invited to play-test what they had. He said he thought it would take 18 months to finish when they asked him, which is what the person who asked him also thought, and anything longer than 6 months ment it would be cancelled.

It's like when someone asks you if the soup they are making is too salty, you say yes, and they pour it down the drain. You're not the person who threw it away.

Lockdowns help highlight a lot of "just because it's what you do, not because it's actually good" things for people.
Theatres are generally awful. They are really only good if you want to do an event as a group, and not one has a space big enough to host.

The food costs too much, people make gross mouth noises when eating the expensive food, the seats aren't comfortable, things aren't clean, people talk, people pull out their bright phones, the sound levels are all over the place, you sometimes have a bad viewing angle, you pay a lot of money but still shown 20 minutes of ads at the start, you need to worry about things like bed bugs, you need to plan a specific time to go, people bring their kids to non-kid movies, going to the bathroom is awkward, colour balancing is all over the place, drunk/high people react in distractingly bad ways, and probably many more reasons.

It is illegal, but kids get most content online now. So, although many countries have laws on the books against ads targeting children, it doesn't mean that they don't.

Juul got in trouble for doing this, using ads that were definitely not specifically targeting tweens/teens on websites for Seventeen magazine, cartoon network, and Nick jr.

Edit: correction on the websites
