NEVER LET A CRISIS GO TO WASTE, EVEN LONG AFTER THE FACT: Parading the corpse of the martyr Matthew Shepard, whose death was only tangentially connected to his being gay, QUILTBAG++ activists warn that LGBTQ rights are in peril. Note how they laundry-list the sweeping accomplishments of LGB (etc) people as a whole, and handwave that away to narrowly focus on “certain medical care for young transgender people.” When you have to hide the hideous truth behind a wall of euphemisms we know you’re full of shit.

“Criminalize minors who use such sites.” Is that called for? Really? Fuck off. Expect that bill to be challenged shortly.
Criminalize all minors. What better way to keep them under control?
Smart.
Hey, if public school system gats its way, there won’t be any minors to control after they transition the next couple of generations.
Not sure if this is true because TMITE, but if it is then obviously this is insane.
Isn’t that about in line with the punishment for using fake ID to buy alcohol or tobacco? While these new restrictions seem absurd owing to the relatively open nature of the internet up until now, what they’re proposing is not really meaningfully different from the ID checks required to purchase any number of other restricted goods.
Put that requirement on brick and mortar porn stores, and it would seem pretty ordinary.
The bill hasn’t passed yet. I’m hoping that the legislature isn’t that much of bone headed puritanical idiots, but…
I don’t think kids will get VPN’s, they’ll just continue to download porn from pirate sites.
Twitter is awash with it. It’s not like anyone can stop kids who want it from getting it. I grew up pre-internet days and getting a hold of a magazine was never a problem. Plus, what kind of age verification?
Are you 18 or older? Select Yes or No.
Send a notarized copy of your birth certificate to the nearest Ministry of Love branch office.

They fertile.
I think that’s the consensus. If they are well-padded, they have a steady food source. They can likely bring a baby to full term and nurse it afterwards.
Probably not conscious thinking, but good enough for natural selection.
It will prevent some kids from watching gang bangs.
I think it’s reasonable to verify age for adult material. We do this in person, so there probably should be a system in place for online, unless the argument is all adult material is now available to everyone and everywhere.
Porn Hub allowed videos with under 18s to stay on the platform, so I’m not sympathetic to their business suffering some inconvenience.
That system is called “parents”.
To be clear, all age verification is unnecessary because of parents?
It’s futile without them.
There has also been porn on the internet for around 30 years.
It’s futile.

As an old site that talked about ways to get around home (and work) filters said:
“You’re putting your filtering software against the libido of every teenager in the world. I know which side I think will win.”
I’m still wondering what the principle is behind age verification at say a strip club but not online, other than it’s harder to do online.
Should have scrolled further, this was the same thing I was thinking above.
https://frinkiac.com/caption/S09E14/910258
Yes on government-imposed age verification being not only unnecessary but flat out immoral and liberty-seizing. Parents are responsible for their children and determining what their children can access. The government should have zero role in that. Taking age verification laws down to their intended consequences, this type of government overreach leads to gun storage laws, bans on tobacco or alcohol vending machines (now soda in places), needing an ID to buy a sharpie or can of paint, etc.
The government having no role in that doesn’t prevent a merchant from voluntarily imposing age verification.
The implications of this for, say, statutory rape are… awkward to talk about in polite company. I’m not necessarily saying I disagree, only that it’s a terrible hill for libertarians to die on.
In libertopia, insurance companies and payment processors would likely impose age verification requirements on merchants in order to fend off lawsuits from sympathetic plaintiff parents when, i.e., their kid dies in a drunk driving accident. After seeing the kind of restrictions private enterprise is comfortable imposing during the last 10 years or so, I’ve actually come around to thinking that government is probably the better option of the two.
Age-verification laws for merchants (which would not apply to statutory rape unless if you are talking about an underage brothel) are completely different from child endangerment laws and negligence laws. I’d say 99.9% of the tens of thousands of existing laws and statutes could be wiped away by retaining 20 or so core laws that actually pertain to harm caused by one citizen to another.
In degree, but not really in principle. If the government has no legitimate interest in preventing a 14 year old from accessing drugs or alcohol, it’s hard to come up with a consistent rationalization for saying it has a compelling interest in preventing a 14 year old from engaging in sexual intercourse, and that’s where you’re going to lose a lot of people. Our schizophrenic system of age restrictions in this country is insane, but you can’t talk about dismantling it without sounding like a fucking creep.
I don’t know that we’re necessarily on different pages. If a 14 year old having sex is harmful, then that’s covered under a rape charge. Child endangerment and negligence laws still apply for giving something like a handle of vodka to an 8 year old.
“Child endangerment and negligence laws still apply for giving something like a handle of vodka to an 8 year old.”
Is that bad? Should I not have done that?
I tried to buy a bottle of beer from a vending machine in Palermo but the machine asked me for some kind of health card. Naturally, it happened when my money had already been swallowed.
On the parenting thing: both of my stepsons had iPods w/video. We also had a “family” computer so they could do homework, play games, etc. I sat them down and showed them how I could see histories of web visits for each account. Said I probably wouldn’t check, but that I could.
They nodded in understanding. I also had their internet access blocked after 10 pm so they would sleep.
Now, for those who say it’s up to the parents: many kids have divorced parents. “Cool mom” got them cell phones and that was pretty much the end of family game night, movie night/-everything. Youngest son’s grades plummeted, oldest son got anxiety.

Good song.
I’ve known Jon Caldara for a long time, so we’ve had more than our handful of discussions, but I think he and I share the same goal, which is what we want is be able to get people housed and be able to get back clean, safe public spaces that everyone can access,
I suspect you don’t actually share the same goal.

“Some of the new laws are directed broadly at the entire LGBTQ+ community, such as Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law”
Called by whom, asshole?
“Esseks reflected back to the Supreme Court’s historic same-sex marriage ruling in 2015. At the time, he said, many activists were thinking elatedly, “OK, we’re kind of done.”
“But the other side pivoted to attacking trans people and seeking religious exemptions to get a right to discriminate against gay people,” he said. “Both of those strategies, unfortunately, have been quite successful.””
Bullshit. After you were kind of done, the LG organizations moved on to pushing trans on kids. If you didn’t do that, none of things you are complaining about would be happening now.
Bob is creating a hostile work environment by not displaying the pride flag at his desk.
We thought we were kind of done, and then a bunch of Marxists showed up, bringing with them a minute identity group as hostages to be used in their own war against the West. Boy, their brainwashing operation is something to behold, I tell ya.
I’ll give half credit there for so-called – almost admitting they are mis-characterizing the law in question.
I will not. Call the law by the proper name, and describe what it bans.
Fair enough, counselor, but can we agree on the asshole thing?

At a company meeting today some she-male asked if there was going to be extra security at a company event in Miami in order to ensure the safety of the LGBLT2++ attendees given the hostile environment there. Just prior to the question, out of nowhere one of the presenters addressed a question, which nobody had asked, about why we are holding events in Florida at all. It seems someone messed up the script. It’s a good thing it was a one-way broadcast, because I was ranting at the monitor.
Damn, I was hoping this ended with unidentified peals of laughter being heard thru the speakers.

Even if Matthew Shepard had been the martyr they’ve mythologized, it’s telling that they have to reach back to fucking 1998 for an example of a LGBT hate crime when, according to their narrative, half the country is supposed to be foaming at the mouth neo-Nazis who spend every moment they’re not working at the last remaining steel mills and coal mines or fucking their sister, cruising around around in their lifted pickups hunting down homosexuals for a fag drag.
No, I don’t think you actually do share the same goal – if you’re falling back on that tired, and debunked, notion that all you have to do is throw some houses at them and problem solved.
Sigh. WRONG.
Most of them are junkies and/or mentally ill. They either choose this lifestyle or they revolve in and out hospitals and prisons.

Good, although they never should have done it in the first place.
“None of the funds that have now gone to Qatar have actually been spent or accessed by Iran in any way.”
Riiiiight. And my tinfoil hat is made of gold.
Did they go to the global equivalent of a payday lender using the $6 billion as collateral?
That “argument” only makes sense if Iran was flat-broke to begin with. I doubt Iran was flat-broke.
This must burn Biden and the Obamabots running him to be forced to do this. They want chaos and destabilization in the Middle East. I fully expect him to slide some cash their way on the down low while no one’s looking.
Maybe a couple pallets of $100s dropped off the back of a C-130 in the middle of the night?
I think its been tried.
You won’t be surprised to hear that the $6BB is chump change compared to the $100BB+ that Iran is making from loosening sanctions on their oil.

I think at nanoscale often used sunscreen it can potentially do some weird things. Cosmetic companies like the nanoscale particles because they don’t stay white for long like the zinc oxide lifeguards used to wear. I used to work at a startup that made nanoparticles by running lots of electricity through titanium in an oxygen rich environment. We probably could have blown up the building. And yeah, you don’t really want to breath nanoparticles of any kind because the lungs can’t clear them.

Pretty sure a shower, especially one extended by tryna wash some goddamn jeans, uses way more water than a front load washer.
That’s why he hired the help.
lol
I don’t even want to know how he dries them.
Blue balls.
It used to be the way to break in a brand new pair of jeans, and the blue would bleed thru.
Then spends an hour peeling off the wet jeans?
I believe he did an interview along time ago and said he never washed his jeans. I wasn’t necessary and it extended the life of the jeans.
I thought he was a nutcase back then. I still think that.

The United States must prepare for possible simultaneous wars with Russia and China by expanding its conventional forces, strengthening alliances and enhancing its nuclear weapons modernization program, a congressionally appointed bipartisan panel said on Thursday.
The report from the Strategic Posture Commission comes amid tensions with China over Taiwan and other issues and worsening frictions with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
A senior official involved in the report declined to say if the panel’s intelligence briefings showed any Chinese and Russian nuclear weapons cooperation.
“We worry … there may be ultimate coordination between them in some way, which gets us to this two-war construct,” the official said on condition of anonymity.
The findings would upend current U.S. national security strategy calling for winning one conflict while deterring another and require huge defense spending increases with uncertain congressional support.
“We do recognize budget realities, but we also believe the nation must make these investments,” the Democratic chair, Madelyn Creedon, a former deputy head of the agency that oversees U.S. nuclear weapons, and the vice chair, Jon Kyl, a retired Republican senator, said in the report’s preface.
Addressing a briefing held to release the report, Kyl said the president and Congress must “take the case to the American people” that higher defense spending is a small price to pay “to hopefully preclude” a possible nuclear war involving the United States, China and Russia.
I don’t think we could seal the border with Mexico without resorting to nuclear weapons.
But toe to toe with China and Russia simultaneously? Yeah, we can make that happen.
Time to move to someplace nice and remote. Pitcairn Island will survive the apocalypse don’t you think?

That idea is just MAD.
If vacating 2 third world shit holes in the middle east in ignominious defeat after 20 years and 20 extra trillion dollars in debt has taught us anything, it’s that we are unambiguously prepared for a multi-front conventional and nuclear total war.
These people are quite literally fucking insane. Like General-Jack-D.-Ripper-on-the-30-cal-chomping-a-cigar fucking insane.
Good thing we changed our military priorities from winning wars a long time ago.
The other countries will bow in contrition before our DEI and ESG banners.
If we continue to deplete our inventory of military supplies at our current pace, the Chinese could take us with hardly a shot fired.
Even with the ammo, the military has been trained to stop Asian Hate. So no shots will be fired regardless.

Sports journalists who already lack a shred of integrity, let alone ethics, want to pretend this makes him some kind of shill. It’s a conflict of interest! As if anyone looks to the McAfee/Rodgers interview for hard hitting questions.
