- Comment on Can you see yourself cutting off by a generation of gaming? 2 weeks ago:
My cut off was a decade ago, when I got my first child and I realised that my time was too valuable to spend it on gaming. Now I have a bit more time too waste and I’ve been looking into gaming again, but I can’t seem to get back into the habit.

Haha you got me there XD I’m talking in circles.
My sister started dating someone of 40 when she was 23. That was already a bit of a shock in my family, but it’s okay. I just can’t imagine anyone feeling fine with the situation OP describes. But yeah, it’s probably not technically illegal.

You’re technically correct, but I was counting on a bit of “poetic freedom”. Write as octal, read as decimal.
The post does mention age, not explicitly, but it is what the post is about.
2000 - 1984 = 16
2000 - 1959 = 41
I don’t care about legality, this is borderline predatory and therefor wrong. Maybe they’re still happily married and (without more context) I’m sure OP loves their parents (so would I), but that doesn’t change how I look at this.

You can write 1984 in octal as 3700. But I meant that 16 in octal is 20, most often 18 is the age at which you’re officially an adult. Maybe “age of consent” is something different, but it’s nasty.

Age is only a number. It’s perfectly legal to write those numbers in octals instead of decimals… That would still make it illegal in most western countries though.

No, there really isn’t anything to do in Wallonia. Flanders is where it’s at. Wallonia is good for camping, because they have the Ardennes, but that’s shared with France and Luxembourg.
I had to go to Charleroi a few times and it’s just the dirties, old, rust belt, industrial town I’ve ever seen. The Antwerpen harbour was a breeze in comparison. Even the Wallon, Flemmish border in Brussels is very noticeable.
If you’re still not convinced, than I guess driving from France into Dinant was kind of nice. Also the river in Leige has a certain appeal to it at night.

A quick Google search:
In the context of labor law in the United States, the term right-to-work laws refers to state laws that prohibit union security agreements between employers and labor unions.
And I still don’t know what right-to-work laws are.

If we’re talking about IQ, than no. An IQ between 85 and 115 is considered average. This entails 68% of the population. So, only 32% of people are not average and only 16% are below average.
- Comment on is that real? 2 months ago:
Sure I’ll indulge you. I think it started with the Putin/Trump mural in 2016. This was a Russian street artist making political commentary. As a response, people made fake images of Trump and Putin kissing. Soon other fake images showed up of world leaders whith unlikely partners which set the kissing theme as a household meme. Shortly after the 2020 elections in the USA, LLM’s were dropped into the world and with them AI image generation. So this joke took a run. Now nobody’s safe from this joke. It’s not just Trump, but it’s happening all over the world. These kissing images and others like it are kind of funny, but many images are nearly indistinguishable from reality and are actively weaponised to cause political havoc. Which is a whole other problem, of course.

The joke isn’t about being gay. They’re both men, sure, but that’s just because they are. Here’s the same joke with Trump and Harris Image

- Comment on [Thread] Mental Math 2 months ago:
If you’re about to walk into a bar with you head, or like the top of a doorpost or smt. You’ll instinctively pull back and avoid the obstacle, inches before it hurts, because your brain notice the hairs on your head moved. That’s why men who have recently gone bald, often have bumps and bruises on their head. My bald colleague told me that for him, that was the hardest thing about going bald.
