Hoe kom je er op dat onze natuurlijke staat er een is zonder sociale constructies? Mensen zijn ‘gemaakt’ om in groepen te functioneren en zo’n groep heeft altijd een bepaalde structuur. Een mens alleen is in de natuur min of meer ten dode opgeschreven. Om nog maar te zwijgen over de behoefte aan contact. Niet voor niets wordt eenzame opsluiting als marteling beschouwd.

Wat wel aan de hand is is dat de sociale constructies in de afgelopen eeuwen een stuk complexer zijn geworden.

At least this makes more sense than the American notation.

Depends on the country and the type of lootboxes. In the Netherlands for example lootboxes with items that cannot be purchased or traded otherwise are legal. Lootboxes with items that may have monetary value are considered a form of slot machine gambling.

From Screenrant.com:

*Netherlands' Laws About Loot Boxes

Overwatch Loot Box In April of 2018, the Netherlands Gaming Authority conducted a study of 10 unnamed games, and concluded that four of the games were in violation of Netherlands laws concerning gambling. To be exact, the study said (via PC Gamer), "that the content of these loot boxes is determined by chance and that the prizes to be won can be traded outside of the game: the prizes have a market value." In order to sell such items in the Netherlands a license is required but given the current laws, no license can be given to game companies, so "these loot boxes (were) prohibited." The loot boxes used in the other games were deemed legal because they lack "market value." According to the study, those loot boxes whose prizes wouldn't be traded constituted a low risk for gambling addiction, being akin to "small-scale bingo." The marketable loot boxes though, those which are banned in the country, "have integral elements that are similar to slot machines."*

Another great looking app!

Swiping to the right gives the option to (in order) hide/collapse the post and then downvote but I don’t see an upvote option in there.

Is that an oversight? Planned? Am I missing something.

Looks good so far. I’m really missing the swipe to up/downvote, reply, collaps, report options in compact mode. Any plans for something like that?

Ik heb een ‘no-name’ elektrische fiets. Geen app, geen gelazer, prima ondersteuning door de plaatselijke fietsenboer.

Me neither but when I do he’s sort of hybridized with that guy from Smash Mouth.

Exactly this. Every non-shit mobile game I ever found turned out to be a port from either PC or console.

[-] Pea666@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Which is shameful and disgusting but should not have any influence about how this case is handled.

Innocent until proven guilty and all that.

Honestly? ET scared little me more than it probably should have! That little bastard could pop up anywhere and looked even creepier when he was sick.

Hate that guy.
