  • If we’re going to keep bringing up a literal age of the Ocampa as though it’s some gotcha we should also mention they never reach an age we’d consider adult. Most of them die before they even become teens.

    We could blame the writers, or we could blame the puritanical mouth breathers who’d rather virtue signal their disgust at the mere concept of pedophilia rather than over the very real problems of child abuse and rape.









  • I suppose it was a thing I read about years ago, but I recall there being stories about rich socialite who drive around recklessly (often under the influence) and run someone over. They then go back and finish the person off because if the person dies you pay a monetary penalty (if you can) as opposed to paying medical bills/lawsuits.

    Do you have recollection of that? Was it just rumor and hearsay that spread because of sinophobia or whatever.

    I also recall several high profile US cases (because that’s the world I largely live in on the internet) where someone rich faces consequences because they defrauded the wrong people. Most notably Sam Bankman-Fried and Elizabeth Holmes. That doesn’t mean the US system inherently works because of two cases, just a case of a broken clock.
