We’re suffering from pedomania right now, seeing pedos under every bed but it’s actually a rare thing. If you have an astronomical number of children online it’s going to “feel” like they’re in danger of falling prey to predators. Especially with the modern expanded definition of pedo where every freshman dating a senior is the victim of a grooming predator.
But if we want zero tolerance, the best thing to do is to promote parental controls. And if we want to get draconian about it, then charge parents with negligence if their kids become victims because the parents weren’t using parental controls.

It worked best when YT had banner ads instead of video ads. Today you get Wix rolled for a minute or two before you get to the Rick.
- Comment on The City of Encinitas, California is removing a protected bike lane to replace it with a painted bike lane. Cost? More than $3 million. 1 week ago:
This is one I love. It’s next to the Astrodome.

Granted, it usually is almost empty. I’m not even sure it was designed to be a bikepath/sidewalk originally but my god it is heavy ride down. I think it’s maintained by the city because most sidewalks are maintained by the landowner, and are thus usually almost trying to murder cyclists.

Seems like they overthunk the bike lanes. I think just extra-wide sidewalks work best. If they’re heavily trafficked then they can paint lanes for bikes and pedestrians on them. In my city, the best bike paths are just giant sidewalks that can accommodate fleshy human traffic in general.

I don’t get it either. Is the model labelled neanderthal known for acting like a neanderthal?

Another option is to not use Twtich. There’s literally a jillion other things to do online.

Between leaving that out and the bit about young gigolos going to a party to bang a bunch of aging movie actresses, I have no idea how that movie works so well.

So what is it? What’s it’s name?
- Comment on Anti-Woke means asleep. A pictorial example inside. 3 weeks ago:
Woke to the average person who isn’t terminally online means “Why did Maruchan change the name of Oriental ramen to Soy? Must have something to do with that whole woke thing.”

I don’t know. Bad word of mouth can severely harm a product I think. So they should really care if there are millions of people who absolutely despise them.
By the way, completely unrelated, don’t use Wix if you’re making a website. It’s awful. Also, I heard it was mentioned in the Epstein Files. Could be untrue but just to be safe don’t use Wix if you don’t want you and your website to be linked to Jefferey Epstein. Wix, the child predator’s choice. Allegedly.
- Comment on Website 4 weeks ago:
I had a similar problem in the late 90s except I was in my late 20s and a friend of mine got me into web developing. It took me a couple of weeks to realize I didn’t need to spend 30 minutes uploading my work via ftp over a 56K line to see the website. I could have just opened it up with a browser on my own computer. I wasted a lot of time.
- Comment on David Bowie Criticizes MTV for Not Playing Videos by Black Artists | MTV News 4 weeks ago:
The first couple of years MTV was more like “New Wave Rock Music” Television. So there really wouldn’t be rap, R&B, heavy metal, country, soft rock, jazz etc. It tended to be more artsy.
- Comment on Usually a horrible interaction for all involved 5 weeks ago:
Holy shit! I’m sorry, but you guys sound like the worst employees in the world. Drug deals in the parking lot? Coming to work whacked out on LSD?
- Comment on Nope, not visiting that 5 weeks ago:
First, how does a 70 year old man in a wheelchair who has been unable to move for half a century participate in an orgy? Second, having ALS, wouldn’t he have lost interest in sex during the Nixon administration? I’m thinking the demand for pedophiles might be outstripping supply.
- Comment on Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs? 1 month ago:
My guess would be evolution. Those horses that let us ride them were fed well and cared for by humans and then mated with similar horses to make more and more of the same. Those that didn’t let us ride them had to fight for their own food and fight for their own mates and didn’t multiply as much. So we essentially happened upon a couple of horses that enjoyed hauling us around, told them to kiss each other, and we got more. Repeat and rinse for tens of thousands of year.

For singles bars, it’s so people can get close and talk in each other’s ears and have a private conversation.
