Fair enough, our experiences of diagnosis are quite different. LOL. (It introduced me to an entire community of people like me!) But I was 23ish, so I’m sure that’s going to make a difference. If it bothers him (the eating issue) there are lots of resources online. I know it can be a pain when visiting restaurants,…

Just wondering (you’ve probably heard it before but just in case) have you had him checked for a sensory processing disorder? I wouldn’t normally suggest it since that sort of behaviour is very typical in young children but since it persisted so long, I thought I’d ask. I have it in relation to some foods (it’s part…

Counterpoint: there are no good James Bond films. Mwahahahaha!! :P

So, does he want to move it to Mars, or what?!

I think perhaps you lack a non-hyperbolic, sex-work-is-evil understanding of the world but OK. And of course 18 year olds should be able to drink! Geez Louise! I have never understood the American age limit on drinking. As for the science; it’s strongly dependent on the individual. So...yeah. Quit treating adults as…

An 18 year old is an adult. If they are old enough to join the army, I think it’s only fair that they are considered old enough to choose what career they want. There are certainly issues within the porn industry with coercian etc. but that is the same as any industry in a capitalist society. It is something that…

Ah! So the difference is based on the social bias that all women wish to reproduce. I honestly can’t see how that makes any difference unless future reproduction is something you actively care about. In which case you would just ask. Or they could just offer these options to all people regardless of biological sex.…

See now *that* is something that should be much, much, much better regulated. As is genuine abuse of porn actors/actresses. This is just completely the wrong way to go about it.

Exactly.

That’s fair. I just think it leaves it so open as to far too easily link regular porn with the illegal stuff, and/or connect fantasy abuse with reality, which we all know causes a whole host of problems. Not least of which is diverting money/resources away from actual victims. I can see where you are coming from,…

I imagine completely banning it is pretty unlikely. Throwing a few scapegoats in prison for accessing the ‘wrong kind’ of porn might be more realistic.

They’re not children, though. Their characters are children. Which is awful in it’s own way, but if we start saying that any child character that is sexualized/shown to be abused should be banned (not quite what they are saying but a logical extrapolation) then Law & Order would be illegal. Porn that shows adults…

“Pornography treats women *and children* as objects.”etc. This is the bit that is pretty concerning, to be quite honest. Child porn is *already* illegal. This links adult porn with child porn in a way that is a: hugely inaccurate and b: could set a precedent for future legislation.

Does it make it sound better if I let you know that I use walnut shells in my fish tank filter? Yeah, so it’s fresh water and a tank but hey...fish. Very nearly the ocean, I’m sure! ;)

RIGHT?! They are awful exfoliants! Give me a rough old bit of tree any day. (My face has not yet fallen off, so I don’t think it’s likely to be an issue...)

This is always puzzling to me too. I’ve never been catcalled. I’ve had a pumpkin thrown at my head once but that seems quite different. I was thin. Then I was fat. Now I’m a bit fat. I’m all of 5'2. I don’t leave the house that much now, so that probably helps. I wonder if it is the ticcing that puts people off? Or…

Not even if he was female.

Arrrrgggghhhhhh!!! *Rageexplosion* is all I have right now.

Yes. It is a life-changing punishment. Which is exactly what you should get for rape. The fact that this is even in question is rage inducing.

I wonder if this is why our youngest bun is being such a little shit at the minute, too. (A fucking adorable shit, but still!) This is her first proper winter as a house rabbit after all.
