My understanding of the policy is that Valve requires the Steam price to be lowered to match the other vendor, not necessarily that the other vendor’s price be raised to match the price on Steam.

I don’t think it’s fair to say that they have nothing to do with other store fronts because they affect each other. If the apple farmer I work with sets up a stall across the street with prices lower than my shop, that’s going to impact my apple sales. I might look into sourcing cheaper apples or dropping the fruit entirely from my selection. Why should I be forced to stock their product?

I think if you can’t tell the two categories apart you should talk about it with a healthcare professional. I don’t know what it’s called in English, but there exists a type of therapy focused on teaching and developing skills that could be helpful.

This is valid:

It triggers my flight or fight response when someone has too much on and I can’t accurately make out their features.

This is needlessly insulting:

the single ugliest thing a person can do to them self. Its vile and revolting.

Having a preference and whining are not the same thing.

Things that are fine to say in relevant social contexts:

• You look really cute without makeup.
• I prefer lighter makeup.
• I love heavy makeup looks.
• I have sensory issues and can’t stand the smell of makeup at all.

Things that are creepy to say in any context:

• Women use makeup as a lie to trick men.
• I want a traditional woman who doesn’t paint her face like a clown.
• I don’t know how she expects to attract a man when she’s not even putting in any effort to do basic makeup.
• I bet she’s really ugly without all that makeup.

I can’t speak for these specific people, but I know that eating clay can absorb toxins, like the kinds of poisons plants make to stop you eating them. There’s also potentially mineral supplementation and introduction of beneficial bacteria.

But it’s not very safe to eat dirt in modern times because we’ve poisoned a lot of the soil with various substances. You can buy edible dirt which is known to be safe.

I think so, in the sense that the tax is enforced by state violence. The system should be redesigned such that the school is no longer reliant on extorting non-consenting parties in order to function effectively.

I like that it’s not a realistic human foot. Sometimes art should capture the idea of a thing rather than just the superficial image of the thing, you know? It has character.

Also some plastics are made renewably and/or are biodegradable. It’s a broad range of materials.

Better get rid of that source link, OP.

They ask you seemingly-innocent questions like, “May I have your name?” when you’re alone in the woods.

Why would a website need to know my screen resolution? That’s private.

There’s the idea that it makes abusing actual children more likely, but I wonder about that. Does rape porn make a person more likely to commit a rape? Do shooting games promote gun violence?

There’s also the idea that drawn images which don’t relate to real-world child abuse can offer therapeutic outlets for non-offending people suffering from pedophilia. Such material might make it less likely for children to be abused.

I think there’s value in us asking and discussing the question, but that experts with proper scientific data are needed for an answer.

If it turned out to be harmless, but also not beneficial in protecting children, should it still be allowed? I know I’d feel better if most sites refused to host that kind of thing, but I can’t really justify that stance in a logical way. I feel like the people who draw it and look at it must be bad people, but I think that’s probably also what some people must think of some of the shit I fap to.

I’m also fairly certain no image generator is capable of producing CP without having been trained on it, so AI images are ultimately the result of actual child abuse. The machines can’t just guess what things look like the way we can. Look into the “full wine glass” story for a demonstration of what I mean.

That’s so pedantic, but yes, they’re a treatment for an uncontrollable appetite. Do you mean to suggest that you’re against medical treatments which are not cures?

Yeah, they’d never put an unsafe vehicle into production. It would help boost confidence if someone explained what the backup plan is.

They’re a cure for having an uncontrollable appetite, which makes dieting difficult to impossible.

If 99% of people aren’t a thing, then 1% of people are. That’s like 80 million people.

How is that different from like antidepressants or thyroid medication, etc? You’ll have symptoms again if you stop the pills.
