Same with blowjobs and rimjobs. Anything with "job" in it, really.

Exactly. There's a reason prostitution is called "the world's oldest profession". People have biological needs. Banning kids from using legitimate porn sites isn't going to undo millions of years of evolution.

So should the supermarket check the ID before selling alcohol, or is it the parent's responsability too?

I'm from the US where the drinking age is 21. A lot of my friends growing up bought illegal drugs because they were easier to get than alcohol.

To buy beer, you had to find someone's older brother and convince him to buy it for you, or find homeless guy and give him some money.

Or you could just hit up Nathaniel on the street corner to get some weed or ecstacy. Nathaniel didn't give a shit about your ID.

I was an active user of pornhub when I was 14 years old

I was a teenager before the modern internet, so at 14 I got my porn from BBSes and friends sharing floppy disks. There was plenty of awful/illegal shit on BBSes. But they weren't regulated, so no one did anything about it.

**You cannot ban teenagers from accessing porn.** Full stop.

You *can* ban teenagers from using safe sites that follow the rules. That will force teenagers off responsible sites like PornHub and move them to shady sites that don't follow rules and have shit like child pornography.

“Adults are free to consume porn, but not at the expense of protecting our children,” Chappaz said in a tweet Tuesday, according to an English language translation. “Asking pornographic sites to verify the age of their users is not about stigmatizing adults, but about protecting our children.”

These fuckers always throw around the term "protecting our children" when they want to do something shitty. Companies like Pornhub actually have strick controls to _actually_ protect children with their anti-CP policies. By forcing them to adopt these bullshit government controls, it only moves users to less legitimate sites without anti-CP policies.

Because it's weird as fuuuuuuuck.

Couldn't help but be reminded of the Simpsons joke:


FoxNews: Not racist but, but #1 with racists.

If you've got serial killers using their last words to praise you, you might want to reevaluate everything you stand for.

We want more money

Trump has since begun to soften some of the measures, granting exemptions for smartphones, semiconductors and electronics and claiming the US and China were in direct contact “every day”.

On Tuesday, the president said tariffs would come down “substantially” and a deal would be done “pretty quickly”.

But the Chinese foreign ministry on said any reports that China and the US were nearing a deal were “fake news”.

“There have been no consultations or negotiations between China and the United States regarding tariffs, let alone reaching an agreement,” said ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun.

This is classic Trump. Lie about how easy something will be and how great he's making things, all while delivering horse shit and counting on your supporters to be too dumb to listen to what's actually going on.

Speculation is now mounting as to whether Vance might face manslaughter charges if lawyers can prove that sucking all hope from a room is technically a crime.

Lmao this has my rolling

I was just talking about that same comparison yesterday! There are some big business interests in keeping older industries going. Whether it's oil and gas, meat, or whatever. It takes a _ton_ of political pressure over time to make change, but the truly biggest driver is cost. Once the alternative becomes cheaper, it will snowball.

My experience with elderly relatives is that all caps is the only way they can read the screen.


This was his response. Very sane. Very calm. Not at all unhinged.

I... I didn't know you could do that.

Someone just told me they're trying to spin it as not being as incompetent as the Afghanistan pullout.

I swear to God, Republicans are incapable of going "my bad, that was my mistake." Instead they just spin spin spin and attack attack attack.

The Daily Show did a pretty good segment yesterday highlighting the absurdity of their response about how this data didn't count as being "war plans":

It's absolute insanity that they're trying to spin this as not being classified or even sensitive info.

Just goes to show you can never trust a person with "balls" in their name.

Tesla better hope the vandals behind recent attacks on its cars and showrooms don’t watch the news, because hundreds of Model 3s and Model Ys parked up together sounds like a dream come true for protestors. We’ve asked Tesla—who famously disbanded its press team in the US—about the lots full of cars, but so far, we haven’t received a response.

Lol at the author basically saying "anyone wanna burn this shit down?"

Thanks! Q4 numbers are a little down. I guess it'll be the Q1 numbers that should be the most interesting.
