  • I agree in general but slight nitpick:

    When somebody declares intent to harm you, proportional violence becomes justified as self defence.

    If you say you want to hit me on my pinky finger, I’m not justified in killing you. If you declare to kill or eradicate me, as the extreme right does to certain marginalised groups, a lot of different levels of violence are justified, including killing for the really severe cases.








  • That’s not true at all. The aegian sea is something like 215,000 km2 (83,000 sq mi for you football field lovers out there).

    And don’t underestimate “the technology of the time”.

    We nowadays have evidence of wide trade networks all over Europe and northern Africa during the bronze age. In Spain there is evidence of tin being used that was mined in northern Europe. People very much used water ways for trade and exchange, which is one of the reason why most old big cities are next to water ways.









  • As far as I understood it, yes, a black hole, or rather the event horizon around it, is perfectly round. The problem you describe is that you can’t see the black hole, as that is the whole point of why they are called black. What you can see though, is the light behind the hole that gets “blocked”, creating a seemingly literal black hole in space.

    But that is not the whole truth, because you do in fact see the light behind it. Since the gravity of the hole bends space time around it and you can indeed see the part that is behind it, albeit distorted around the event horizon. What you describe as changing view from up or down is indeed just the different view behind the hole, not the hole itself.





  • I agree with you, as long as no real child is involved, nobody got hurt, so I don’t care. And I also think having a fictional pressure release is preferable to a real one.

    But that is not really the topic here. This is about the term lolicon and how a lot of pedophiles hide behind that term. In my opinion the translation in the picture is correct. That has nothing to do with censorship, as the tweet tries to portray it as.
