That’s just what they want you to think.

Well then, they should stop saying it so funny

So… it is dying?

The idea that I subscribe to is that a pedophile is more likely to commit child sexual abuse when there is some sort of normalization going on in the form of fictional depictions of csam (or in this case, dolls). A pedophile should come to the conclusion that these thoughts are wrong, and seek help in fighting urges through medication and therapy. If it is deemed okay to indulge “just a bit”, it would probably make it easier to justify going over the edge because you wouldn’t see it as “as wrong” if you are part of a community that is barely persecuted for it.

There will always be a lack of studies in this area though. When it comes to criminal elements, deals are cut and records aren’t fully made public because so many people plead guilty to lesser charges and the full extent of their crimes aren’t brought into the light.

Depends on what you’re looking for. I’m guessing you’re more of neophyte to Linux or you probably wouldn’t be asking.

I always recommend Linux Mint to newbies. It’s very user friendly (more so than windows 11 imo), and it’s a spin off of Ubuntu, so it’s got great support behind it.

Ubuntu itself is a spin off of a distro called Debian, so if you ever have problems with Linux Mint and you can’t find an answer on the very helpful Linux Mint forums, you could always search for your answer on Ubuntu’s forums, or Debian’s.

Arch based distros are better for newer hardware because it’s bleeding edge, but that laptop looks so old that you probably wouldn’t need anything like that.
