Its absence. No apostrophe for the possessive pronoun.

Always love looking for the mistake in posts declaiming the death of education, because there nearly always is one.

Oh, guess what, babies are *still* dying in Gaza, but you guys keep whining about your incest games being delisted.

Yes, I really don't care about those games as well because it doesn't even contribute to world culture and knowledge like Europa Universalis, Civilizations or other historical games.

LOL. Thanks for noticing ... I do occasionally slip up ... but then, I am not trying to win any grammar awards ... certainly not here in the GOG Forum. So long as what I say gets across, I've done my bit. ;)

Nah, lack of knowledge or interest about sex can lead to lack of population growth and lack of humans will mean at some point no one to educate anymore, so we do need every aspect of life... not just a big or well educated brain. Apart from that... if someone is in love and sexually satisfied... there are almost no drugs needed anymore because this is the best drug someone could have. It is indeed still true that love in many terms can go wrong, and in such a term is not lovely nor loveable anymore.

What's far more common is for lack of proper information about sex to lead to unintended... population growth. And plenty of other problems besides.

Nah... not even sure. The last woman who was having "unprotected" sex was very aware of the risks involved but... she apparently was loving that guy so hard... she "accidentally" was having unprotected sex many times in a row and was informing me about that matter pretty accurately. The sad part is not even the lack of protection, it was pretty much because of ignorance not because of lack of knowledge or information: What i had in mind was truly sad is because she was trying to kinda "force" that relationship and which force could be stronger than telling a man "i got a child from you". Unfortunately the guy involved "only" was looking for a lot of sex it seems but never had the intention neither to get into a serious relationship nor to be a father. So he pretty much was denying her "request" and i dunno the current state, i do not really care. Because those sort of women are not the ones i truly adore; so not much of a loss to me.

Sure, a lot of women are being abused, raped or whatelse... i am well aware of those matters but not so much at the place where i life... rather on places with a true patriarchy, such as Pakistan, many African countries and so on. My country is rather a matriarchy, so a woman usually is well informed and with many rights. Usually it is rather a "accident" if not planned... and not because they had zero clue or zero rights nor control.

It totally depends on location and even the class involved of course... so there is absolutely no general rule and no general truth. Almost anything is possible, yet naturally because of the huge population in certain countries (especially Africa and India) they will produce a lot of influence just because of the sheer population they got.

Please stop using this GAME forum if you think games are not important and we should instead concentrate on world peace. It's funny how you blame others for missing education while missing the basics of how economics work and what will happen next ... but that can't be helped. If you think this is about incest games you are more than delusional.

They will never take our freedom! ;-)

Neat, thanks.

I was thinking about something else, basically a "We spend money on NSFW games to send a message to GOG" thread, where everyone in support of sanity would come and drop some non-trivial amount of money on NSFW games, maybe share a screenshot of their total or cart contents.

Would anyone be onboard? Can't think of a better motivation for GOG to fight against a tiny group of insane religious individuals horny for power who try to censor the world for nefarious purposes than buying NSFW games. It's just a rough idea at this point, so feel free to suggest changes.

The irony of this quote. I don't know if it was intentional....

All Judeo-Christian religions and Islam have a conversion decree. It is fundamental to their belief that they should try to convert all non-believers, and in extreme circumstances, kill anyone who refuses to convert. Most modern practitioners have left the "kill non-believers" by the wayside, but that doesn't change the fact that they (we, I am a Christian) are taught to spread the beliefs, to impose them on people who are not smart enough or willing to accept the teachings. I'm not saying that this is right, but just giving information to people who may not be aware why someone would push their beliefs onto others, and it is because they believe it is their divine duty to convert the masses.

If you mean the "thank God" part then yes, that was a little joke.

I realize proselytization is a thing, that's why I consider Judaism the only agreeable religion out of the big three. They don't try to convert others and they believe virtuous non-Jews go to Heaven as well. Meanwhile, Christianity's join us or go to Hell doesn't jive with me.

Anyways, I think proselytization directly motivates people to do horrible, horrible things and helps them overcome natural barriers against this behavior like conscience, guilt, moral values, social norms, respect for others, among other things. It's pure and simple radicalization. Especially dangerous with unstable or deranged individuals. And doing it in a sensible manner with genuine good intentions and respect for the other party seems not to fulfill the definition of proselytization, so... yeah.

Important note: it's not just about religion. The idea of proselytization can sour anything. I'm a vegan, and naturally I wish everyone was a vegan, but I don't agree with the methods of certain (typically young and just converted) vegan activists which resemble religious proselytization.

Has this promotion ended? I went to the link above and saw this text: If I press "Continue", I'm met with the message: I checked my email in case every user is sent a different code, but there is no message.

I'm in Taiwan, if that matters. Thus far I have not seen any censorship messages on youtube, fascistbook, bluesky, nor anywhere else.

Getting the same issue in Australia just now, might be an issue at GOG's end for now.

In another thread, someone said they've just redeemed the code some 20 minutes ago, so it is probably just overloaded. Keep trying, it seems to still work
