Hey, what's a safe app I can use to access the tor network on iOS? And where will an official one be released?

Considering many countries are implementing this at the same time, I'm not sure there will be any countries left to run an instance from or set a VPN connection at.

We did too, but it was because my parents refused to pay full price for a game, so they bought pirate physical copies for dirt cheap and they worked great. Then of course I learned to torrent. Nowadays I only buy games when they're from indie devs or from small companies.

My parents let me play whatever I wanted, even Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil, but first they taught me the difference between fiction and reality and said I could play for a limited amount of hours per day, and only after doing my homework or after studying. Except on weekends, on weekends they let me play for longer, but also made sure I was playing offline too and going outside. It was pretty good.

The funny thing to me is that my dad would sometimes say it frustrated him that I liked video games because he thought they were "for boys" and yet he was the one who bought my (jailbroken) console and (pirated physical copies of) games until I turned 18 lol

If not friend, why friend-shaped?

Lemmy is starting to feel like reddit after all

It's not all the parents fault, leaving kids unattended under all contexts has been sort of criminalised. Letting your kids play unsupervised outside or even letting them walk to school by themselves could get CPS called on you. I had a friend who had to stop letting her 10 year old walk to the bus stop to take the bus to school, because a "concerned neighbour" called CPS, it was a ten minute walk.

It makes no sense because Tolkien wouldn't have agreed with most of them and would've despised how they use his legacy. I don't think these people understood the message the books were trying to send.

I really wish they didn't give this thing a LotR name (Palantir), Tolkien would've hated it.

I love lotr, but unfortunately a lot of the fans are far right and kinda unhinged.

Try saying you find it weird and unreasonable that elves supposedly never have sex with their spouses unless they want to consummate the marriage or procreate (so an elf couple with only one child will have only had sex twice in their lives, for example), and the other fans will react as though you personally insulted their mothers.

Similar to what happened with me when I first got a site wide ban. I disagreed with a more conservative post, got a subreddit ban, then a while later I commented there on an alt account because I forgot I was banned from there, and both my accounts were permanently nuked. I tried to come back, managed to do so recently on a new device and IP and a new email, and got an account warning for saying an animal abuser should be screamed at, just screamed at, nothing more. Apparently screaming at horrible people is violence now. I voluntarily said goodbye to reddit then.
