  • So many people in the comments are asleep at the wheel.

    The Ministry of Justice said that possessing and publishing porn showing incest between family members and sex between step or foster relatives where one person pretends to be under-18 would be a crime.

    Porn showing characters that are related having sex

    Porn showing UNDERAGE characters having sex.

    That’s it. That’s all this stops.

    Which probably is already illegal in most places

    This will stop very little to no additional porn according to what was said.

    It’s NOT a ban on showing step porn, only when one person is under the age of 18.

    This solves maybe having. Some law to help prosecute things that are likely already being prosecuted but will do nothing to stop what has become popular.







  • If you do a quick look at the terrain option on Google maps. I think it’s very obvious that there were advantages places for larger populations to settle around. That particular section of the west coast is fairly inhospitable. Look at the coastal sea floor as well. It paints a fairly clear picture on its own, especially when comparing it to the east coast. Secondly find a timelapse of the how north American was settled as colonies. Stuff mostly came from the east and eventually made it’s way to the west. Railroads are big big part of how the west was colonized and there wasn’t much use for north south railways as things progressed as there was to get things to and from the east.

    That locks in or at least reinforces the locations of where major populations can establish themselves.

    It’s only been about 135 years since trans Pacific trade started(quick google info please be kind if that’s wrong) in the year 2000 it was still inside the lifespan of a single living human that international trade across the Pacific was really anything at all

    And it was with people’s that had absolutely no relation with the European colonists. And they were also very xenophobic culturally and didn’t develop very advanced in deep ocean sailing due to lack of interest.

    The old world was east of the Americas, mystery and the unknown was the Pacific. There be monsters there!

    So all in all it seem to make a lot of sense that there wasnt much economic pressures requiring big coastal economies until well after established communities and regions developed.

    I think Astoria is one of the older major coastal trade cities, but it faltered as Seattle and Portland developed.

    And to your point about being inland a ways, they are in much most hospitable regions for farming and agriculture to support a large population


  • For most people life sucks and then you die.

    Anyone can find happiness with their lot in life, no one truly understands why some of the worst experiences lewd to positive outcomes, but the typical result is misery.

    As you age you have more experiences to compare reality to. Many of those experiences wouldn’t be a recognizable experience to the other people that shared that time and space. We create our own reality in our minds that usually is shared in a comprehensive enough way to recognize and agree with, but each person’s experience and interpretation of that shared experience is their own.

    Whether crows are wonderful exciting and creature to behold, or dive bombing poop monsters waiting to target you is your own mind interpreting what you see.

    These experiences shape how you look at the world and you repeat many of them in some ways reinforcing the held interpretation of it

    Its a very easy to find pattern in historical records that older people(generationally) see the new world that has been shaped by younger people is harder to understand. And while some people do find this exciting and energizing, most people will find it a burden or a corruption of what they understand.

    Things change. Viva mutator, non tolitur.(I don’t know if this is a real quote but I always remember it from some fiction book I read that explained this translated “latin” phrase as life is changed, not ended)

    How you can enjoy your life while living through some of the worst experiences or on going conditions is beyond my understanding, but you won’t stop finding people that are amazingly happy in spite of this. Maybe a very small amount but you won’t ever stop finding more if you put enough time in.



  • Why do you think almost no one lives there just because you don’t know of a major city in the area?

    It’s simple logistics, there’s no reason for a major city to be there.

    You have Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria in the same region. And if anything is coming to the area it’s going to that region already, and if it’s going farther south you have better ports in Oregon.

    Genuinely curious what made you interested in this idea or where it came from
