While it's not "technically" underage rape, let's be honest it basically is. No normal person thinks it's acceptable for some in there 30s to have a relationship with a 16 year old.
The law is there to protect say an 18 year old in collage, where it's common for 16-18 year olds to be in the same classes, not for creepy 30+ year olds.
Sunak is absolutely obsessed with doing exactly that. You can tell he just craves the prestige of being Prime Minister but isn't actually interested in doing the job, it's embarrassing really.
I can definitely relate to that! I used to try and find something special as a keep sake in the game to remember my trips abroad, so I'd waste quite a bit of the holiday trying to find something.
The only thing I will say the game does well and I do miss about it is that it's a great game to play as a couple. Me andy husband had quite a few dates that we probably wouldn't have bothered to do if it wasn't for events in the game. We've tried replacements like Orna but they just don't really hit the same spot.
Well yeah it's been shit for a while now, it was in a terrible state before the pandemic but it was at least somewhat enjoyable to load up every so often. This past year it's become basically unplayable, even the addicted whales have been dropping it in droves.
I've been boycotting the game since the remote raid price increases but caved for a few hours during Go Fest (without the ticket) I couldn't believe how bad it's actually gotten.
I live in a city and the spawn rate even during Go Fest is now attroucious, a handful of Pokémon every half a mile, it used to have 100s of spawns. The city centre now is almost as bad as the little remote village I lived in when the game first came out.
No one was raiding locally either, there was never a raid scene here but you could atleast do some during Go Fest in previous years.
The Gyms were full of people who'd been in them for well over two weeks at zero health, right in the centre of the city, last year they changed hands really regularly, even though our scene was relatively small. The two gyms at the top of the road where I live had people in them for over a month, all low level players when it used to be a us long term players who'd take them from each other. They used to change hands multiple times a day as there on a busy high street, so I could always get my coin's, now I couldn't even farm for the ridiculously priced remotes even if I wanted to.
It's way worse than it was even a year ago.
It's because Niantic have actively made the game far worse in the past year, after a few quite decent years through the pandemic. Them using ai to generate the latest artwork just epitomises how ridiculously lazy they've gotten. The artwork on the loading screens was one of the few examples of legitimately good work they ever produce, so now they don't even have that.
I don't think anyone actually cares that it's ai, but it is classic Niantic to just slap together ai artwork and make no attempt to hide it.
It just pops up randomly. Went to go make a coffee and when I came back there it was. I'm in the UK so it's not just happening to US people.
I kind of agree with OP to a degree. I did 10 years of retail (mostly in small local shops where I could help influence how stuff was run) and now run my own business, which is essentially retail. So I've experienced 100s of Karens over the years.
Their endless and stupid complaints in a lot of cases have helped me simplify process for the thickos, make information as dumbed down as possible and helped me clarify things that I assumed anyone with half a brain would just know. It's also given me the opportunity to learn how to deal with completely unreasonable people, which is a really useful skill to have in life.
The Karens help anyone with average and above intelligence see the world through the eyes of people who are completely ignorant, they allow you to see "issues" that no normal person would ever consider and help try and mitigate the Karen complaints before they even begin.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not excusing their behaviour and I get incredibly frustrated every time I have to deal with one, but you can learn lessons from these people in a lot of cases that'll make your life easier if you have managers/owners who are willing to listen.
Not the person you replied to but personally I'd like to see some kind of random communities feature so I can discover new ones.
Most of the stuff I see is memes or US politics that I'm just not interested in.
Is this currently working for you? I've followed every step and it just get stuck on installing forever.
It's the YouTube algorithm that's pushing this garbage and it's blatantly obvious, the actual adverts largely line up with my interests. If I don't watch a YouTuber for a couple of weeks they disappear from my reccommed. I never watch anything about American politics, barely watch any American YouTubers yet there it is every single time without fail.
YouTube is absolutely dreadful for it. I have literally zero interest in American politics, I'm interested in world events but frankly couldn't care less about another country's domestic politics yet it's pushed almost every time I load the site.
I mostly watch things like travel vlogs and trip reports, yet get endless spam about right wing American politics. There's nothing in my search history that would suggest I'd care about it.
He's abusing the law, it's obviously not designed for a 30 plus year old to have a relationship with a 16 year old.
