This broke my brain, I identified it as "The Mist" but I was 100% sure Mark Wahlberg was the main character so I was trying to work out what the joke was/why Wahlberg was replaced.

Guess I have my own Berenstein Bears thing going on.

Are these people living in real dangerous areas or are they just convinced any unexpected car entering their driveway is out to murder them?

Second similar article in a short period, the other was a pizza delivery that went to the wrong address and got shot at.

In Australia cartoon child porn is enforced in the same way as actual child porn. Not that it answers your question but it's interesting.

I'd imagine for your question "it depends", some people who would have acted on their urges may get their jollies from AI child porn, others who have never considered being pedophiles might find the AI child porn (assuming legal) and realise it's something they were into.

I guess it may lower the production of real child porn which feels like a good thing. I'd hazard a guess that there are way more child porn viewers than child abusers.

It's crazy how you poor mutilated people have no idea how it was designed to work.

For one, I haven't had smegma since my parents taught me to clean behind the foreskin (arguably later than they should have) when I was 7. You think we're all just walking around with dirty penises?

For two, the foreskin pulls back below the head, you can pull it down far enough that you look circumcised then you can pull it back over. Pull is a strong word it doesn't take effort, but doing this is pleasurable to the point of ejaculating (i.e. that's one way to masturbate as a person with a foreskin). No need for lube.

I mean the cosplayer can do whatever they want, no judgement from me, but it's clearly a costume that is made to be sexualised.

A cyclist us never to blame for a car hitting a cyclist. It is always always always the drivers fault, because they chose to drive a car.

That's an insane take, right? If I as a cyclist blindly ride across a road directly in front of a heavy vehicle, surely it's on me. In what way would that be the heavy vehicle drivers fault?

Thanks, I was 99% sure the feet were wrong (duck feet) but I couldn't remember the last time I saw a platypus.

I have a couple of dogs on an acreage roaming all day. One of the dumb shits still gets bored sometimes and tries to chew through an outdoor chair leg, or rips the hell out of her bed/food bowl.

I don't blame them for the cage thing with that in mind, but personally think it's cruel and the destruction is just part of dog ownership. I tag it as "I should have bought more things to keep her entertained".

Again, insane comparisons, driving a heavy vehicle is in no way similar to intentionally assaulting someone. A more appropriate comparison might be if your lover was punching a punching bag and you dove in front of it mid hard swing, and they had no time to avoid hitting you. Is that your fault or theirs?

If a cyclist runs over a child, who was not visible at all until they ran into their path with no time to stop, on a path designated for bicycles where a pedestrian has no right to be, is the cyclist at fault?

Anyway I think I might be responding to a crazy person, so I'm probably wasting my time, but I'm interested in how deep it goes.

Do you have a urinal at your home, or do you piss on the wall?

Was that really the issue? She felt pretty "souly" to me. I'm wondering if it's more voter turnout and people not being ready to vote for a woman (for whatever reason).

I mean was Biden really above and beyond Harris? He beat Trump, and Trump arguably has even less going for him this election.

I'm not equating what she is wearing to "fucking", but you're talking as if it's clearly some "oh this just feels comfortable" cosplay and not intentionally sexualised. Sexual attraction arousal and flirting starts before "fucking".

I'm liking the "going back to when I was 6 with all the knowledge I have now" option, but in reality 6 year old me would probably be too immature to know I need to remember it and by the time I needed to use that information in any sane way it would have been long forgotten.

I mean some people are saying get bitcoin early days, but 6 year old me was at least 10 years off Bitcoin existing.

It would also really suck knowing how easy it was to obtain information in the future only to be stuck in the past and barely have access to the internet at all.

I get what you're going for but you're not giving their sexual partners much credit. Do you not believe women can turn down or validly consent to sex with Elon Musk because he's a billionaire? It says a bit about what you think of women.

Ah good call, released within a year of each other, I'm probably merging the two in my head to some extent.

I thought it was funny.

As far as supporting JKR goes: JKR is a horrible person who no-one should listen to but Harry Potter is pop culture. I'm pretty comfortable personally with disconnecting the two in my head. I don't think people enjoying Harry Potter should be seen as "supporting JKR", hell a lot of them wouldn't even be aware of JKRs noise.

Obviously I haven't read the comments here a ton but are people really supporting JKR or are you just treating people enjoying Harry Potter as support for JKR? I think there should be a distinction. It's not really people's job to deep dive into the personal lives of the creators or people involved in every piece of art they enjoy.

What are Ukraine's demands for surrender?

I wonder if it was more an assumption that the rules only applied to viable pregnancies.

I mean I'm pro-choice but I'd assume anyone pushing to ban abortion is aiming to prevent viable pregnancies from being terminated while still allowing medically necessary or unviable pregnancies to be terminated.

Wait, what? Ubuntu spams you in the terminal?

How do they justify that? I mean I can see why people would be against aborting viable fetuses, but a fetus that will never live seems absurd.

I guess we also force dying people to wait it out, so maybe it's on trend.
