To quote Scrollone@feddit.it elsewhere in the conversations:
It makes me think about the Italian movie from the '80s called “Maladolescenza”, which is now considered child porn by many countries, thus illegal.
I also saw a newspaper from the time in which they were interviewing people that came out of the movie theater, asking them what they thought of the movie. It was almost as disgusting as this article.
So certainly a fair number of people did.


Yeah, but it seems most of the people watching that movie took exactly the wrong message away from it, if that article is any indication.


Tribalism. As resources diminish, we have an instinctive need to defend what we need to keep ourselves and our ‘tribe’ supplied. Driving out ‘others’ means more for ‘us’.
It’s just that some people have a smaller mental group of ‘us’ than others. You see all people in America as ‘us’. They do not. (Unless it’s an ‘other’ they personally know; then they get included in their mental ‘us’ as ‘one of the good ones’.)
Of course there’s also the fact that much of the scarcity is artificially imposed by the uber-rich to get people into this easily exploitable mindset but that’s a separate discussion.
1/3? Man, those are rookie numbers. Something like 80% of my home state were members at one time.
(Which makes sense, as back then we had actual laws on the books that made us a ‘whites only’ state.)


Except it’s not very good. I turn it off and still get AI pictures and videos, and it gets rid of some pictures I know aren’t AI.


I hate to say it, but I absolutely guarantee the law will do nothing but show up afterwards and pick up the pieces. If he does decide to get his fat ass off the couch and come get you, you’ll have to handle him yourself.


Yup. I’m totally sure that had nothing to do with this guy’s response to her coming to his door.


I mean, tbf, if he’d called the police they’d probably have shot the person 6 times. Maybe he just felt like cutting out the middle man?


Boy I wish. But stop believing in gods and people find other things to worship, as the techbros and cults of personality prove. There seems to just be part of the population that wants a ‘higher force’ to mindlessly follow.


Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
They are showing they are in the ‘in-group’ by flouting the rules they dictate to everyone else. It’s a key part of showing you’re in the in-group, and powerful within that group. The more rules you can flout the more powerful you are.


As another lemming pointed out elsewhere in the discussion, psychologists have noted a strong correlation between winning/losing football teams and the fall/ride of domestic violence reports in the areas that supported those teams.


Not really. Plenty of places have high gun counts without the high violence count. There’s something wrong with us, specifically.


As a fellow American, we really don’t need any help looking bad at the moment, so you can stop now.


Or, if someone doesn’t have the enzymes to digest it, it sits in their stomach and rots, which is fun.
It’s even more fun if you’re actually allergic to the proteins in meat, but I digress.


Wow, who hurt this guy? They’re like, every bad terminally online never-talked-to-a-real-woman cliche.


They’re kind of being an asshole all over the thread. I don’t know why women asking men to not comment in a women’s forum has them so hot and bothered, but it sure has them on the warpath lol.


Ummm… what do you think the park picnic space rentals are?
Also, parks with camping have reserved spots.
Seems to me either you don’t get out much, or you are one of those assholes that refuses to leave a space someone already paid to rent.
Also: older eggs. The newer an egg is the more the shell will try and stick after hard-boiling.
