News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I prefer to follow the “half your age + 7” method in finding out the youngest age of maturity your partner should be.

Maybe, but I'm 30 and honestly don't want to date anyone younger than 25.

You're allowed to do whatever you want lol, it's not strictly saying you have to consider everyone half your age plus 7. If you only wanna date people older than you that's fine too, it's whatever.

207 for me. Makes sense, I'm told I'm an old soul.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Damn man, you're old as fuck. What was it like growing up in the mid 1700s?

[–] l_isqof@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

But don't you dare attack a nation sympathiser...

I have a weird take that will give me downvotes.

In the US we grow up with 18 being an adult and consent for most things (driving is the exception and why I say "most things" )

I don't agree with marriage under 18.

In other countries though that is not the case and that is their custom. And I'm in no position to argue on some other cultures customs IN their country.

If you're in a country where underage marriage is acceptable, and you move to the US, then it is unacceptable.

You sure about that?

Classical Islamic sources state that Aisha was six at the time of her marriage with Muhammad and nine at the time of its consummation.

I dislike the fact that your completely reasonable and understandable position which essentially boils down to "local laws and customs differ, so we must all follow the laws of the local land for who am I, an outsider, to cast my judgement upon others" is factually and correctly labeled as having a weird take.

Because anything that coukd be vaguely linked to pedophilia becomes part of the moral high horse content where if you dont take on as extremly negative opinion as someone else, well then youre obviously a pedo or defending pedos. So there can exist no nuanced discussion on any issues like this because people will see it and jump on the chance to show everyone how morally superior they are, by having a more extreme opinion on it than the other guy.
