  • If law enforcement actually wanted to tackle the trafficking problem in Houston, they would go after the outlets.

    All it takes is a quick search on rubmaps.com to see where you can buy sex, right now, in Houston.

    After that, they can go after people on Tryst. It's such an open secret because there is so much money being passed around.

    Human trafficking is integral to Houston's economy and culture. They won't do anything about it because they don't want to.

    The only solution to make sex work safer in Houston is to legalize it. Which they also won't do because they're "better than that" and legalization would result in better treatment of workers at the expense of employers.

  • He probably didn't care because it doesn't really matter.

    If you weren't there to witness him... taking pictures, would you ever have noticed he was there in the first place?

    Seems like you were just looking for an excuse to be a dick. Pragmatically speaking, what you did had more impact on you than what he did.

  • Shouldn't Virginians be happy the FBI chose the best option?

    Or would they prefer the FBI choose the worse option just because it's their option?

    I know what I'd put my money on.

    Greenbelt would be a lower-cost location to build a new FBI headquarters, provide greater transportation access and better advance the agency’s sustainability and equity goals.

    I guess Virginia should work on these things if they want more business!

  • It doesn't take a great socialist revolution, and nations won't stop using fossil fuels as long as they remain cheaper than other options.

    Other options won't be cheaper until we run out of easily-extractable oil.

  • I stopped watching new Simpsons a long time ago.

    A few years I tried again, but the episode opened with a bunch of NBA jokes that the audience was just... supposed to get? What if you're not into basketball? Lol.

  • That's honestly fair. Times do, indeed, change.

    Older episodes can easily be written off as the violent-humor cartoons of the day were known for. Newer episodes don't have an excuse to making fun of child abuse.

    That said, I do wonder if the satirical nature of the Simpsons was supposed to be evident in Homer strangling Bart. It always struck me as something he just 'did.' Not really funny or unfunny, just a facet of the show. It's possible the writers were originally trying to highlight how a dad like Homer might physically discipline his children out of rage while Marge just lets it happen.

    Remember, the Simpsons are supposed to be satire.
