  • Against voting:

    • feels like it doesn’t matter
    • the choices often suck

    For voting:

    • it evidently does matter
    • it’s the most efficient way to give your political opinion some weight

    Also I assume the down votes are for the following reasons:

    • not voting only serves unpopular politicians and parties
    • not voting being promoted through a post like this one would exacerbate this issue
    • the science is pretty settled that voting matters, even if it feels like it doesn’t, so making this topic debatable seems disingenuous

    I assume you are being honest, so let me make this clear once again: a voting populus is what stands between a democracy and a dictatorship. Not only do dictators dismantle voting rights wherever they can, but it’s also the best tool to keep them away.

  • My first thought is contact police because only they have the resources to start an investigation, looking into phone data and thoroughly searching.

    My second thought is if you know someone with knowledge or if you have time to read up on OSINT skills, these could help if you need to do your own search.

    Maybe someone has better ideas though.




  • legally it depends on local laws.

    Yeah nah. Romeo & Juliet laws don’t cover this because 14 and 20 is too far apart. And you can not legally consent if you’re under 18 in almost all developed countries. There is no legal debate for these countries.

    There definitely are some 14-year-olds that are mature enough to consent.

    Hard disagree. Some will say or act like they consent but at 14 your brain is not fully developed. They might find out how bad of a decision that was only 10 years later. Consent does not only mean verbal or physical agreement, but also to be absolutely sure someone has a full understanding of all actions and consequences, and at 14 you can not presume that. There’s a reason the age of consent is 18. Almost everyone has developed a grasp of these things at 18yo and above.

  • Too young? That’s a hard question. It’s definitely risky to marry this young, but also I have no clue what your situation is. Although you sound like you are in the prime position for this to work out so idk.

    So you are definitely very young for marriage but don’t let that distract you - it sounds like it’ll be worth it to you :)

    Also as a chronic overthinker, do not hesitate to just talk about it with your gf if you are worried.

    And all the best from me and make sure to eat lots of cake at the wedding party ^^
