  • I agree, the sooner the better.

    Sex ed is what makes children mature enough to have sex once they reach the age of doing it.

    But what’s the point of raising the age of consent?

    My point is there isn’t any if sex ed is done well, it only makes sex more taboo.

    Conversely, if you want to raise it, maybe it’s because sex ed wasn’t done properly, making teens not able to be mature enough for an activity they are gonna do anyway.

    For driving, I would agree in general we aren’t good at driving, but changing our means of transport isn’t easy, despite being the best solution. That wasn’t really the topic though…

    Thinking people in their late teenage years and young adults aren’t mature enough to do some of those things is just a big tell of how bad we educate them rather than their brain not being “developed”.

    Consent is the most obvious example, teenagers are gonna have a sexual life no matter what you want them to do. Removing consent just remove yourself from the responsibility of educating them and entice them to stay hidden.

    Driving is also just necessary to anyone working, again being safe just need to be taught, plenty of adults are just as immature and stupid.

    The same can be said for drinking or smoking, prevention is so much more effective than restrictions.

    However, for voting or joining the army that’s when i agree. Because the system is built to prey on them, making sure they stay uneducated and vulnerable. So only then does having restrictions make sens to keep them safe.



  • Not sure I share that viewpoint for the US, the history of the indigenous is the story of the people, not the nation.

    And the US has many more populations that have great history, from EU and Africa.

    But the beginning of its history is founded on the gathering and interaction of all those different cultures.

    So for me saying the country is young doesn’t quite have the same connotations of erasure from colonialist, it mostly makes me think of how current the melting pot of all those different cultures are.

    I still agree we shouldn’t diminish the importance of indigenous people in it.







  • I’m exactly like that too. I think my nature isn’t nice, but i can choose to be.

    And i’m also admiring anyone that as that nice nature, i find it beautiful and extremely attractive. So to a degree i have that goal of trying to choose it whenever i can.

    One drawback, wich also coincide with my very rational personality is that i hate having too strong of an emotion, had anger issues as a kid, but also the start of love is somewhat unpleasant for example.

    But hey, to me as long as your trying to be better, your are good person.



  • In terms of control yes, but it also depend if you use a keyboard or a controller.

    It’s pretty well adapted for controller and if you use one then your movement is like any third person game, like the Witcher.

    While keyboard has that point to move like Kenshi. Note that there is a mod to switch to the controller movement using wasd.

    So if you wish you can move like the Witcher, the gameplay though is strategy turn based, like xcom or gear tactics, so nothing to do with it.


  • Well it’s not like a Skyrim (obviously), but I mean that there isn’t big changes in textures or content for example.

    There is some extremely useful mods though. I’m thinking quality of life stuff and appearance choices mostly. The latter was a bit buggy with the updates for me, but i think it got better now.

    I think the amount of downloads comes from how necessary these are to most fans, rather than the quantity and quality of big mods.

    (Although some small mods like hairstyle are quite high quality to be fair)
