  • 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.





  • 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.
