a western visual novel about underage siblings engaging in incest and cannibalism
If you’re talking about ‘ The Coffin of Andy and Leyley’, then the two title characters aren’t minors. They’re both in their twenties.

Look at the note where she's calling her targets faggots. The handwriting is all over the place. The letter formation isn't consistent from one word to the next, let alone inside words that have multiple of the same letter. The letters that stick up or go below the line are often smushed to the point of looking like a completely different letter.
It's legible enough to understand if you slow down a bit. You can still tell what's being said due to context. But in no way would I call it neat, especially for a girl. Girl handwriting can get almost font like. As I said, my handwriting is way worse, but I have appalling handwriting even for a guy. My handwriting is often not legible to anyone but myself unless I slow down to an impractical pace.

“Like ruffians”? Piercings and non-facial tattoos aren’t that taboo anymore. Almost half of adults under 45 have at least one tattoo. It’s been over a decade since the “tatted-up barista with full sleeves” archetype became a thing. Workplace rules about covering up tattoos have also become far more relaxed in most industries. Sure, face tats are still pretty taboo outside of the traditional subcultures you'd find them (line cooks, construction, etc.), but the OP didn't specify face tats in particular.
Personally, I don’t have any tattoos, but that's because I’ve never felt the desire for any, not because I think I would be ostracised for violating a social norm. The worst I would have to endure is my parents giving me shit cause they think all tattoos look ugly.

But as far as I can tell it's not true that there are different licenses per state; there is a national "chainsaw ticket".
Each state has different training courses, as education and training is run at a state level. However, the states try to standardise around a national framework.
Also, from what I can tell, there is no chainsaw “license” in any state or territory. There are only training course requirements in some states for certain industries. For chainsaws there’s various training courses ranging from basic handling and maintenance, to cutting fallen trees, to felling limbs, to felling entire trees. But these are all separate courses that can be taken either individually or as part of a larger training course for a higher certification or diploma.
The main difference between a license and a certification requirement is that without a certification, you’re unable to be hired in the relevant field, while without a license, you’re not legally allowed to perform the relevant task at all.
For example without a first aid certificate you might not be allowed to be hired as a life guard at a swimming centre. But without a forklift license you’re never legally permitted to operate a forklift even if it’s privately owned and on private property.
That level of analysis assumes there’s never going to be a genuine threat to your own civilians. This was true for the mainland USA. It wasn’t for any of the countries in Europe or asia.
If you’re a country in range of enemy bombers during WW2, any enemy planes you fail to shoot down are now a threat to not just your own troops but also your own civilians. The less enemy planes built, the fewer that can potentially get past your air defences.
Additionally, the distinction between a civilian working at a military manufacturing plant vs a soldier working in the logistical side of things is blurry, especially in a country with mass conscription and a totally mobilised war economy.
Besides even today, Civilians get contracted to do also sorts of support services for the military, particularly in terms of logistics, that soldiers also get used for. Why is the life of a 19 year old conscript assigned to drive a truck somehow less morally worthy than a civilian contracted by the military to do the same thing?

Well then you and @OracleOutlook have been, at least in part, talking past each other. His original comment and the studies he linked are about stepparents not adoptive parents.

Maybe I’m getting confused due to a difference between Aussie vs American terminology. But pretty much every aircon I’ve seen, ranging from wall mounted units to ducted, can do both heating & cooling. Are aircons that only do cooling the norm in North America or something?
My point wasn’t that because tattoos and piercings are now common that they’re now good; my point was that they're now so common that they’re no longer a useful signal of if someone is a “ruffian,” I.e., a criminal, member of the underclass, or otherwise the type to get in bar fights (e.g., tattoos have long been associated with marines and sailors).
You now have to actually look at the tattoos to potentially get any useful information about the person with said tattoo. If they have prison tats that tells you different things than if they have a USMC globe and anchor which tells you different things than if they have generic normie tattoo art.
Being fat is different. No one wants to be fat for the most part (aside from maybe young women who put it on only in “all the right places” in subcultures into that look), and absolutely no one actually wants to be obese; anyone saying otherwise is coping. So when you see someone who is fat, you see someone who, for one reason or another, either can’t or doesn’t even try to manage their weight. That does give you some amount of information about them, but as more and more people get fat, the information is starting to go from “this is a person on the lowest end of the self-control spectrum” to “this person is not on the highest end of self-control”.

The issue with gang tats isn't that they have ink in their skin; it's that they are openly advertising that they are a member of a murderous gang. You're conflating the message with the medium. Do you not actually judge all people with tattoos in general? If you do, can you explain what you're judging them for/about? The same goes for piercings and swearing; what about these things leads you to make character judgments?

and other things including things like tattoos, piercings, foul language and so forth
Are you judging them solely on aesthetics here? Or do you think these things actually give you meaningful insight about their character?

Israel is under no extremely urgent (ie advancing enemy army) pressure to retreat, so mass graves of executed dead Gazans with their hands tied behind their backs left where the UN can find them seems very unlikely. That said, and as you suggest, it’s unclear whether executing enemy combatants would even be a war crime in this case, since Hamas does not follow the rules of war, does not wear uniforms and so on, so their fighters can’t be considered legitimate PoWs but instead partisans, who are allowed to be executed
That hasn’t been true for decades. The Geneva Conventions don’t permit summary executions of anybody. Unlawful combatants are considered to be civilians and so fall under GC I-IV article 4. This means that any combat they engage in can be considered a domestic crime, no different than if you decided to run around shooting at the military right now.
But, just like any other civilian, unlawful combatants are still afforded the right to a fair trial. If they’re found guilty, then sure, you can execute them if that’s the prescribed punishment for what they’re convicted of. What you don’t get to do is line people up against a wall like you’re the German army in 1914 executing “Francs-tireurs”.

Well there’s your problem, most people think crimes like murder, rape, and manslaughter should receive retributive punishment. Simply shrugging your shoulders and going “well I don’t agree” is why the types of ideas you’re preposing won’t ever see widespread acceptance.

try and shoot a police officer, or in the case of the UK, attempt to stab one and see how far the sanctity of life gets you.
Seeing how regular police officers don’t carry firearms in the UK (aside from in Northern Ireland), you’ll probably get pretty far.

A better alternative to over relying on mail-in voting is holding elections on Saturdays rather than weekdays, as well as allowing in-person pre-polling. Mobile voting stations at places like hospitals and retirement villages also help. Mail-in voting can still be an option for those who truly need it.
At least that’s how we handle elections in Australia. But we also have mandatory voting (which is a whole separate topic I won’t get into), so the government aims to make sure the only legit reasons for not voting are things such as misadventure or medical incapacity.

It depends on what the guy is there for and what is discussed. If the focus is on how they feel and why it’s usually a waste of time. It can be helpful if the focus is on coming up with tangible goals and figuring out ways to accomplish them.

I was tempted to use this one as the example instead.
Licensing requirements to operate a chainsaw vary from state to state. A NSW chainsaw license may not necessarily entitle the holder to operate a chainsaw in Victoria.
Not sure if this is a shitpost, but there’s no license required to operate a chainsaw. Some employers/industries require you pass a training course, but there’s no state or federal government licensing programs like there is for say, forklifts.

The national guard is regularly deployed during large riots. The marine were deployed during the LA riots. Though that was prior to the Navy and Marine Corp being added to Posse Comitatus in 2021.

Huh? The point is that they’d have to at least be legal adults for the mum to be saying that. The reason the mum wants them to fuck off is cause the daughter is a fucking psycho who the mum doesn't want to be around. It doesn’t really matter if they come from a culture where they normally kick their kids out at 18 or 30.

It’s not a game where they have a warning “all these characters are over 18” despite being set in highschool.
Not only is their age stated during the course of the story, they are shown being spoken to as if they’re adults by their own parents. When they visit their parent’s home, the mum makes it clear she doesn’t either of them to move back in.
Their design IMO doesn’t strike me as appearing obviously underage. Based on the art style they look like young adults to me.
That's not what I'm referring to. I'm talking about how the letters are formed and how consistent they are. Look at the note where she's calling her targets faggots. It's all over the place. The letter formation isn't consistent from one word to the next, let alone inside words that have multiple of the same letter. The letters that stick up or go below the line are often smushed to the point of looking like a completely different letter.
None of this makes it completely illegible. You can still tell what letters they are based on context. But that doesn't mean it's neat. Girl handwriting is almost always clean and consistent. Their neatest handwriting gets close to looking like a font.
