That's why it suffers, from a lot of issues?

Or rich people could pay slightly more and you could retire. Just saying.

Often businesses like regulations because then they don't have the pressure of a race to the bottom. Depends on the industry and the regulation obviously

Missed opportunity for either a white hearse, or more specifically a white bronco/hearse hybrid.

I'll drink scotch or old speckled hen whenever I please.

I think the joke is people keep posting the "you can drive x hours and still be in y location", but really, you can drive indefinitely in one neighborhood, without every leaving. You could stay in the roundabout for as long as you want, just like you can drive from South Africa to Finland, or whatever.

I was really bummed that Filterworld by Kyle Chayka didn't even mention reddit or lemmy and only barely mentioned Mastodon

For those that don't want to drive traffic, the link is to reddit. A post on r/nextfuckinglevel that is apparently a minute long video of a "probing" prank. The video is a minute long and there are hundreds of comments. Emoji of a van and an alien imply he's trying to convince aliens want to stick things in people's butts? As a prank?

Definite sex slave ambiguity

But there was no punch line!

It's a joke. It starts off cute and altruistic and then it finishes silly and kind of bad.

Quick, someone share the reddit copy pasta where the police officer does heroin in his police car.

Will there be a Palestine by Jan 2024 and could any American President stop what's going on?

I don't really think it's super worthwhile to spend a bunch of time discussing if and should about those cases here. The larger point is that he apparently tried to lie about his gun cred by pretending to buy a gun. And that of he had, he would have been committing the same crime they got Hunter with.

In other news, Bruen is terrible.

While Trump remains the frontrunner in the GOP race for the White House, he has also been indicted in four criminal cases this year, and therefore cannot purchase a gun under the law.

This is a highly cherry picked set of conclusions from the study. Sex Ed would probably, as the authors note, negate these negative aspect of accessible porn.

Things the study finds hard to do:

• define pornography. That will make it hard to legislate.
• they conclude it leads to unsafe sex practices but that also sex needs to be taught to kids. Probably not news republican legislatures want to hear.
• not really a link to crime

Also worth noting this is one study. In Australia.

Not saying the study should be discounted. But it's not really a clear support for government intervention.

It's almost like porn has been available, to varying degrees, to youth, for decades if not centuries. Even discounting all the good arguments like "small government" and "think of the kids is a dumb excuse to curtail privacy"... You have to ask, what's the goal?

Keeping kids away from porn? Why is that an important goal for the government? Is it one the government is even capable of doing? At what age is porn OK? 16? 18? 21? Never? Did you ever look at porn when you were in high school? Do you regret it?

Is there any real research that porn is corrosive to a 16 year old? I mean we can't even pass simple, popular gun legislation because the NRA swears up and down we don't know "for sure" if it will save more than a couple lives. We can't even have an EPA that enforces laws, while millions of people suffer from asthma and other stuff that kills them.
