It's not fascinating at all. It's expected. Both the feminists and Bible-thumpers are *OMG!* American, and have been indoctrinated to be prudish and Puritanical. They're two sides of the same miserable culture.
The US would have been better off if the American Revolution had been stamped out by the British and the Founding Fathers locked up for treason. Case in point: Canada... Also, the British abolished slavery in their colonies 30 years before Lincoln did his thing.
Slavery died out in Brazil and Cuba by the 1880s. It was on its way out by the 1830s, even before the US Civil War, since the British had banned it in their colonies like Trinidad and Jamaica.
So it would have likely ended within a few decades on its own. Bonus points if the US had let the CSA go, then quietly bankrolled a slave uprising. The slaveholders would have ended up dangling from trees and/or expropriated, not turned into rich landlords who retook much of the power in the South after Reconstruction ended.
I'd have been all for letting the South leave in 1860, then embargoing the CSA and financing a slave revolt. The problem with the Civil War is that the same people running the slave system ended up in charge after Reconstruction ended. If the rich slavers had ended up being expropriated or simply executed, then their legacy wouldn't have stuck with the US for the next 150 years in the form of Jim Crow and a generally draconian legal system by Western standards.
Yep, America has too many Puritans of all stripes, religious and secular alike. Basically, even "secular" and "liberal" people have been corrupted by American religious values, even though they don't call them religious or even know where they come from.
Why not just split off the content in question and prevent the app from accessing those forums to satisfy Nanny Apple's sense of decency? The content can still stay on the desktop site, mobile site, and be available in the Android app since Google is not as much of a bunch of censoring assholes.
Which is why the US needs to be run into the ground by both parties. Weaker or non-existent Federal government = more choice of political systems for people to live under.
I'm not libertarian. I'm anarchist. I'm honestly hoping and praying for divisions in the US to tear the country apart. If the US is broken up into 5 or 10 different countries, there will be more choice of governments to live under, with one or two being likely to be in your corner of the political spectrum (my happy place is left-libertarian).
By state law in NY, both are identical -- toplessness is legal for all genders. Also, why is my being Jewish supposed to be construed as some sort of primitive insult?
Nourishment... actually male ones can do that too, but that requires a different hormonal makeup than the human male normally produces. Fruit bat males, on the other hand...
Thank the Repukes for SESTA/FOSTA. Also, female nipples aren't "pornographic". Male ones are wired to be just as much of an erogenous zone. The only difference is that female ones also fulfill a different useful function.
Ah well, welcome to America, where extreme violence and guns are just fine and dandy, but people have a titty fit at the sight of a tenth part of an areola.
Did they intend to commit a crime, though -- i.e. did the fake dating profiles have a birth date that was over 18 years ago? This is basically an online variant of the old scam. Women gets a guy drunk, takes him home from a bar, they get naked. Random guy bursts in on them naked. Guy either pretends to be:
(1) The woman's angry husband, who'll report the guy to his CO for adultery (2) An angry pimp demanding payment (3) The woman's father, and the woman is actually 16. (4) An undercover cop investigating a prostitution ring.
Either way, some money changes hands and everyone is on their merry way.
Trump is like almost every other leader, giving lip service to caring about the military and honoring them as heroes, while exploiting them in reality.
Or, if you're using a dating site, exchange phone numbers as quickly as possible, chat on the phone, and meet in person. Don't do stupid **** like exchanging nude photos with people you've never met.
Solution is to regulate facial recognition and imprison CEOs whose stores retain the data in the absence of a theft or a crime in the store itself. Not to further erode privacy by going cashless/cashierless.

Assuming reciprocal travel/work agreements between the fragmented parts of the US, you could still move out of Florida, right?

When it passed, the HOR was 236:197 R:D.
236-13 = 223 Repuke votes
197-12 = 185 Demoquack votes
You failed basic math. Mazel tov!
Bring back USENET!
Or the US needs to split up and let the Bible Belt/flyoveria go their own way and leave more open-minded places at peace...

They're scared of enforcement of SESTA/FOSTA by the Republicans' mutaween. Rock. Hard place.

Did he say this in a heavy accent while claiming he was from the IRS?
I intend to be offensive. Fuck the American culture of hero-worship of anyone in a uniform and with a gun.

that the military isn't composed of the best and the brightest. "Military intelligence" is a fine oxymoron.
That's not really the case -- there were markets where food/food ingredients were accessible to customers.
Good, let the economy burn. Bonus points if it burns to the point that it takes the ad-supported, privacy-robbing "tech" industry with it.
