  • I’m not arguing that. You’re the one who’s disingenuous, though, since you’ve been arguing the reverse all along.

    It’s not that child molesters are more likely to consume CP, it’s that you’re saying that people that consume CP are more likely to be child molesters. That’s what you’ve been arguing for all along, and now suddenly you switched to arguing the reverse now, when you’re losing the argument.

    If these two statements are the same to you, then I would suggest not bothering with using heuristics. You’re clearly not good at understanding scientific data



  • It is a stretch. Researchers can’t even find a conclusive link between watching actual child porn and actually molesting children (emphasis on ‘actual’, not even ‘fictional’).

    And you’re here telling me that you are more intelligent than them in deciding whether such a link exists or not.

    You either have done no research when basing your ‘heuristics’ on, or you are deliberately ignoring it and just trying to call people that commit a victimless crime “child molesters” because of your “heuristics”.

    Man, I sure wish the police would also use shoddily designed heuristics to decide when to arrest a person





  • I think that, rather than using Gmaps WV, one should rather opt to using Osm maps.They client is free software and the map data is collected by volunteers all around the world, doing their best to contribute to the project.

    That way, you can still use navigation and you won’t ever need a Google account (or an accoint for anything, really).

    As for Google play, yeah, I definetely recommend Aurora store.

    Personally, I use Aptoide to get my apps from, because that’s entirely independent of Google servers and it’s its own thing, so it’s even better. However, I wouldn’t recommend it personally because a lot of apps that existed on Google Play don’t exist on Aptoide’s apps repository and the third party repos are not very trustworthy










  • I currently have a Fairphone 4 device.

    Hard to say about loyalty, since this is the only time I can say I’ve personally been attached to any particular phone brand. And if their device will prove to be very badly designed then I’ll obviously go back on my decision.

    I guess what I like about them is their stance on various social issues, like the sourcing of raw materials that go into manufacturing a modern smartphone, and how they commit to improving themselves based on that.

    For example, they talk about forming the Cobalt Fairtrade foundation, in the hopes of promoting the ethical sourcing of the cobalt that goes into your phone’s battery, so that it doesn’t involve child labor.

    Or how they claim to pay factory workes a better wage that most other manufacturers, even though this can only be achieved by overpricing their own phone, which makes it less attractive.

    Granted, you really have to care about this stuff yourself to become invested in the company because the phone itself is very bland and, otherwise, quite overpriced
