Shitting in a bucket in a van is less noble than you make it out to be.

We did in the 80s when you last were culture bombed about it. The textile industry is mostly in China now, and mostly automated, including cotton harvesting. Wool has some issues but animal cruelty tends not to register with you people, but poly blend clothing, which is by far the majority of clothing produced, has less human labor than most electronics manufacturing.

It's a game version of what you imagined the little Lego vehicles you pretended to create as a kid did in your imagination. It's pretty fun, kinda grindy in campaign mode, but at least worth an afternoon if you like any other vehicle building pseudo engineering game.

And yes there is multiplayer, including multi-single player where other people's vehicles invade your world. It's balanced enough that you shouldn't usually get curb stomped by them.

Redtube and other porn sites starting with red.

In 2008 they'd just use retard. It wasn't even slightly controversial of a word at that point, just like disabled isn't really now (since that differently abled nonsense euphemism failed to take off).

No, if your account has been allowed to stay on your instance, it holds no value to me regardless of whatever content is on it.

Cops have qualified immunity in the US; while there's a larger legal definition of more or less means a cop that can argue they were acting in good faith can break the law and violate constitutional rights isn't going to be punished in any meaningful way.

This is summed up in the very American phrase: you can beat the charge but not the ride. If a cop in the US wants to arrest you, you're spending at least a night in jail. Charges might get dropped in the morning, you might have a valid lawsuit against the department, you might easily win in court, but you will be going to jail if a cop has decided you will be in jail.

So is red lemmy just a porn instance like redtube or why pick red when you're not even slightly left wing?

Violence is the basis of politics; as in politics is literally just deciding who we want to do violence. If some group does violence in a way we don't want, whatever social contract that did exist is broken and we need to do violence ourselves to reestablish who should be doing the violence.

CSAM is the official term for pretty much all English speaking countries and covers material not otherwise classed as pornography. It's also at least 15 years old, since that's when I started in trust and safety and it was being used in training materials then. Your country chose poorly.
