If we are pedantic, I’m not sure if “children cannot consent” is correct. Children at 16 are mature enough to give consent in legal context, we as a society just frown upon older adults mingling with them.

It’s not Polish, just letters mashed in. You can tell by how utterly unpronounceable that made up word is.

You can’t have j (pronounced as y in yoga) letter after cz (pronounced like ch in check), it would evolve into i (pronounced like e in e).

You’re the first person ever that was able to explain to me the difference and make me yearn for it.

What is this studio called? In gay porn we have e.g. Czech Hunter delivering this genre, what is thr straight equivalent?

I never considered it a democracy. It’s one-party system with two parties, what can be democratic about it? Smoke and mirrors.

My point is that the polls mentioned in the wiki seem to not be mentioning socio-economic systems, but the USSR country and it’s culture, as well as it’s dissolution (which was handled like shit in most of the countries AFAIK).

ex-Soviet citizens prefer Socialism.

That’s not exactly what the polls in the article were about though?

The article seems to be missing polling history from countries that don’t support it’s thesis, like Poland.

You might want to check out wikipedia.

That’s literally alternative medicine defined as per well, science. And you being silly doesn’t take from it. In the past, viruses were considered alternative medicine (quackery even), until they were proven to exist and work as in theory.

If you hit someone with a stick and that person gets cured of cold, it’s alternative medicine (you suspect there’s correlation or causation, and repeating the treatment during other incidents tends to have similar effect, i.e. when you hit more people they also get cured). When it’s proven that there’s causation between your action and the cure, then it’s medicine.

I’m not sure what are you trying to tell me.

That you agree with me that “alternative medicine = not proven to work, but I’m wrong somehow”?

That wiki article is very biased.

It also has problems distinguishing pseudo medicine (proven not to work) from alternative medicine (not conclusively proved or disproved).

It happend in Poland in 2010 too :)

Not codified?

Some opportunities are codified to only VIPs - e.g. you can’t invest in a hedge fund legally unless you have certain net worth.

Punishments? If a punishment for a crime is monetary (like a fine), it’s an absolute, not percentage based, so wealthy and not people are affected very differently by it.

What else do you want? Literal human hunting license?

It’s called VIP and the concept isn’t new.

I complain about popularity of fantasy romance vis a vis non-fantasy romance, and that now most published (or advertised) fantasy books are fantasy romance.

That genre is typically written for women, with female lead and is heavy in certain tropes.

That genre isn’t for me.

Am I a person that you’re ranting about OP? If not, could you point me to an article or opinion piece that you’re talking about, so I can read it and come back here?

I have access to the same information as you, so unfortunately, I don’t know.

The article literally says you will still be able to push books via Calibre etc, but won’t be able to download books into Kindle from PC.

Example: If you don’t have a WiFi at home, there is an option to connect Kindle via USB to your ethernet connected PC and download books from Amazon that way.

And this option is going away, as most people have WiFi.

Anywho, fuck Amazon (for other things, but not this one).

Thanks for the tip!
