EPTI don't actually see the difficulty in doing this (well nothing that should prevent us from doing it with sufficient resources), we understand the mechanism for chemical reactions in extreme depth, what forces are present, etc.

Not only do you have the binding angle and optimal energy levels between different atoms, but to account for an incountable amount of water molecules, behaving in a way that we can't even determine perfectly on a mathematical level just takes too much processing power. What they are doing, however, is stuff like this:
Is making the first steps in computation and calculations towards this. Ofcourse there are probably physics and chemical departments (the one I know in Belgium that might do this is MolMod) that have, perhaps, a more advanced grasp on how other certain interactions work, but for now regarding biological interactions, this is where we're at. | ||

It's something that'd be done in the background, and when it shows up, you bring up a valid and convincing argument. For example, if you say what people here said, that you can't own past underage pictures of yourself, then society as a whole would be like... Okay, well that's silly, this law needs to be changed. My problem more so, is just how bad child being naked is for society, I think it's almost completely irrational. I'm not even talking child porn, like yeah, a 30 year old black 9" penis inside a preteen girls butt, we can mostly all see a problem with that, and we understand that promoting this behavior, will lead to young children being taken advantage of to create this content (as people are willing to pay for it). To me it just seems like the punishment is far too large regardless, for someone who is "potentially attributing to the problem of child exploitation". That's like someone getting 25 years in jail for not warning the police of knowing about someone who was potentially going to commit murder. I'm not justifying the behavior, but I don't think the punishment is fair. In my opinion, it all comes down to the laws (at least in Canada), where the government treats you like you know nothing and you have practically no rights to do anything before you're 18 for most things, and 16 for a few others. I think a legal and regulated market could be created for teenage porn, or just something that gives more freedom to people and families about what they'd want to do with their underage content. It's absurd to me that I could get in trouble for distributing my baby pictures or something. Willing teenagers that do have intercourse, watch porn, sext, etc. clearly don't care nearly as much as policy makers about others seeing their naked bodies, and while there is room for abuse, there is room for abuse in anything. Child nudity laws need to be looked at again, and some more research looked at as well, since the way we look at it now often arises from irrational fears that may have no basis. Looking back, yeah, I made some stupid decisions when I was a teenager, but at the same time, I had a brain, I had a sense of right and wrong... But we were treated like little children in high school. I'm honestly still baffled to this day how large the jump between university and high school was in terms of priorities. High school was kindergarten padded with pillows, while university was a viking tribe. As a society we should focus more on educating children (after-all, research suggests that junior high school is where people make it or break it), instead of giving children all the reason to fuck up in the world due to there being no consequences to anything, as you're not given any rights in the first place. I am kinda fascinated by this post. It oscillates so fast between cogency and insanity I get whiplash. For starters, you would never get your argument out: a sea of attack ads and newspaper reports would associate you with child porn and your political career would be over. It would take an enormously skillful political maneuver, probably in an omnibus sexual assault or sentencing bill. Then you say that there's nothing wrong with kids being naked (true) and that it's wrong to violate children sexually (also true). But you say the latter (and less arguable of these things) in a concessive set-up, lining us up to think you are implying that a middle ground for illegality is somewhere between the point of kids being naked and "30 year old black 9" penis inside a preteen girls butt" as if the dividing line isn't a question of child abuse or encouraging it but rather the age or race of dick size of penetrative choice of the abuser. The one and only qualifier there that makes a lick of sense is "preteen" since you could argue from a sane standpoint that 17 or 16 year olds (girls at least) are basically mature and that 18 is an arbitrary cut-off. I'm don't agree, but I see the case. Then you talk about the infantalization of teenagers, and you're back to making sense. Okay, sure, that works, yeah, the government/schools treat us like 8 year olds when we're 15, which is silly. But then you're arguing in favor of a legal and regulated market of teenage porn, and we're off the rails again. In our culture, the reason 18 is the dividing line is that until then, you're in high school, at your parents house. At 18, you're finishing that up and getting ready to move into college or the workplace. You're making adult decisions as an adult. Until then, you are culturally kept away from irrevocable decisions for the same reasons you don't have fully independent finances. If you made teenage porn legal, you'd have parents everywhere pressuring kids into sex with strangers for the extra money. What a lovely society that would be. Then you compare child porn to baby pictures, and I start to think that you're really missing the point about child abuse. And then back to sense-making talking about how teenagers are likely to fuck, sext, watch porn. I'm not really gonna pick apart the rest of it, but damn. So many reasonable observations, such batshit crazy conclusions. | ||

Too many people that play the game of life for personal gain, only considering the well-being of others if they believe they will profit from it. And these people are unfortunately pretty good at ending up in positions of power. | ||

There is a small, but significant African Chinese population in mainland China, you probably can't get that good at chinese just by living in America and studying, and youtube comments seem to support that he is African too. So I'm going to say African | ||

So I'm going to say African I had forgotten about little Nigeria in Guangzhou. It is really a curious but logical phenomenon considering the Chinese investment in Africa. I used to live in Guangdong and knew a lot of Nigerian residents who were completely fluent in Cantonese | ||
