Which is why making such a claim about "most of the non-US West" when they really mean only UK and Ireland a ridiculous but sadly common thing here.
I mentioned Australia in that post. I know Canada has them as well, and I think NZ does too. I admittedly don't know that much about the Continent, but no, I didn't "really mean only UK and Ireland".

Yup, we had an author get jailed in NSW a few months back.
(Enforcement is very spotty, as you'd expect.)

First time I've seen the term, but I think it's pretty clear if you know the context.
Specifically, that the three Abrahamic religions have different days of the week as the Sabbath. Jews consider Saturday the Sabbath. Christians consider Sunday the Sabbath. Muslims consider Friday the Sabbath.
Hence, asking him to work on Sunday implicitly (if imprecisely) tests whether he's a practicing Christian, because Christians are not supposed to work on Sundays.

This is probably to allow Anthropic to have operations in the non-US West, most of which legally considers "a fictional story about underage characters boinking" to be "a video of a real-life statutory rape".
@erwgv3g34 In Oz, 700-year-old lolis are also treated as CP.
(These laws are dumb and I break them, but Anthropic probably can't get away with that.)

I genuinely wish people in these groups had a more traditional sense of morality, a better understanding of boundaries, and generally just cared about Chesterton's fence and second order effects.
There is no Chesterton's Fence here. Kids were exposed to nudity and sex in the EEA and for the vast majority of recorded history, because that's what happens when you can't afford a sex room and a kids room (or, further back, a sex cave and a kids cave). High ages of consent are also basically unknown before the 1800s. You're not espousing traditional morality when you want to keep the kids away from sex; you're espousing Victorian morality.
(Admittedly, orgies are a lot less common in history, though not completely unknown.)
I'd... maybe suggest checking your history and prehistory before accusing people of disrespecting tradition and Chesterton's Fence.

I think we understand each other, then.

Did you perhaps edit very shortly after posting? I recall seeing "100% bulverism" and responding to that.
In case you're not making a joke, "the EEA" in the context of evo-psych and human biology refers to "the environment of evolutionary adaptedness", i.e. the conditions humans lived with in prehistory and which our bodies and brains are selected to best cope with. For instance, humans don't like concrete jungles, probably because the most similar thing to a concrete jungle in the EEA was an area recently destroyed by volcanism and such areas were generally devoid of food and water.
The "sex cave and kids cave" part was referring to the EEA. The "sex room and kids room" part was referring to "the vast majority of recorded history", because peasants were poor compared to us.
