He's on a trip down to South Wankston.
Im not gonna lie I made full use of the early internet when it showed up
It was the wild west, man. You had to explore.
And the fact that absolutely outrageous porn in infinite quantities is now available for free is not lost on me
However the individual and the family has to figure out how to naviagte these waters
I do find it darkly amusing that if you go to a brewery's website, you have to click a thing saying you're 21. But you hit the 'Hub and there is no facade of an age check.
Didn't there used to be?
I would also counter that a lot of these fellows seem to be saying porn has removed their ability to form real relationships with women. If that’s the case I don’t think a porn ban is going to turn them into studs
There have been socially awkward meat beaters since the dawn of time
The skill to present yourself to a woman as a potential mate is almost entirely unrelated to porno
As I kinda said earlier, an abstract porn ban has got them admitting the costs of porn addiction, and that's what really matters.
I do feel bad for addicts of any kind
Matt asked for a definition of a porn addict. A quick definition of an addict is when you actively want to stop something but can’t because of compulsiion
I’m a heavy drinker. Probably 4-5 drinks a night but I absolutely love it. I don’t sot around wishing I could stop. Also 4-5 doesn’t turn into 12 for me (usually)
Thats the difference between a heavy drinker and an alcoholic. Alcoholics wish they could cut back but feel compelled to keep going
You probably haven't given much thought to the ramifications of pickling your liver.
I have. It’s a rational choice
How is it rational?
I weighed the potential costs against the benefits of the pleasure of being buzzed
Most of the costs are defrayed into the future and the benefits are immediate so I may at some point regret my choice.
The actual definition has nothing to do with wanting to quit it has everything to do with the dependency on the substance
But it’s not like I don’t know that The bill will come due some day
Dude, death by cirrhosis sounds terrible.
Im at no risk of cirrhosis
It takes heavier drinking than that
I just had my liver checked and everything came back normal
You're counting on paying the bill long after your son is grown up and moved out? And that he won't be paying it, too?
Maybe it's just... payable on death.
Wait when did this turn on me? Lets get back to the wankers
"no u"
Jk
It's not about you personally, it's about the consequences of vice.
But if I participate in the vice with no regrets and open eyes and drink at home putting no one else at risk
Is it really that bad to indulge
You make your own choices.
Co aigned
Signed
My wife’s ok with it so I can’t be that bad
And she doesn’t drink
I don't believe that you're putting no one else at risk. I also don't believe that libertarianism is compatible with family.
What would happen if she wasn't okay with it?
