He's on a trip down to South Wankston.

2019-12-19 17:01:49 UTC  

Im not gonna lie I made full use of the early internet when it showed up

2019-12-19 17:02:05 UTC  

It was the wild west, man. You had to explore.

2019-12-19 17:02:40 UTC  

And the fact that absolutely outrageous porn in infinite quantities is now available for free is not lost on me

2019-12-19 17:03:09 UTC  

However the individual and the family has to figure out how to naviagte these waters

2019-12-19 17:03:21 UTC  

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.

2019-12-19 17:04:42 UTC  

Didn't there used to be?

2019-12-19 17:05:31 UTC  

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

2019-12-19 17:05:49 UTC  

There have been socially awkward meat beaters since the dawn of time

2019-12-19 17:06:43 UTC  

The skill to present yourself to a woman as a potential mate is almost entirely unrelated to porno

2019-12-19 17:07:26 UTC  

As I kinda said earlier, an abstract porn ban has got them admitting the costs of porn addiction, and that's what really matters.

2019-12-19 17:08:02 UTC  

I do feel bad for addicts of any kind

2019-12-19 17:08:43 UTC  

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

2019-12-19 17:09:51 UTC  

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)

2019-12-19 17:10:48 UTC  

Thats the difference between a heavy drinker and an alcoholic. Alcoholics wish they could cut back but feel compelled to keep going

2019-12-19 17:11:12 UTC  

You probably haven't given much thought to the ramifications of pickling your liver.

2019-12-19 17:11:37 UTC  

I have. It’s a rational choice

2019-12-19 17:12:32 UTC  

How is it rational?

2019-12-19 17:13:04 UTC  

I weighed the potential costs against the benefits of the pleasure of being buzzed

2019-12-19 17:13:54 UTC  

Most of the costs are defrayed into the future and the benefits are immediate so I may at some point regret my choice.

2019-12-19 17:14:02 UTC  

The actual definition has nothing to do with wanting to quit it has everything to do with the dependency on the substance

2019-12-19 17:14:20 UTC  

But it’s not like I don’t know that The bill will come due some day

2019-12-19 17:14:27 UTC  

Dude, death by cirrhosis sounds terrible.

2019-12-19 17:14:44 UTC  

Im at no risk of cirrhosis

2019-12-19 17:14:52 UTC  

It takes heavier drinking than that

2019-12-19 17:15:07 UTC  

I just had my liver checked and everything came back normal

2019-12-19 17:15:14 UTC  

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?

2019-12-19 17:15:52 UTC  

Maybe it's just... payable on death.

2019-12-19 17:16:03 UTC  

Wait when did this turn on me? Lets get back to the wankers

2019-12-19 17:16:11 UTC  

"no u"

2019-12-19 17:16:13 UTC  

Jk

2019-12-19 17:16:36 UTC  

It's not about you personally, it's about the consequences of vice.

2019-12-19 17:17:14 UTC  

But if I participate in the vice with no regrets and open eyes and drink at home putting no one else at risk

2019-12-19 17:17:20 UTC  

Is it really that bad to indulge

2019-12-19 17:18:14 UTC  

You make your own choices.

2019-12-19 17:18:28 UTC  

Co aigned

2019-12-19 17:18:31 UTC  

Signed

2019-12-19 17:18:58 UTC  

My wife’s ok with it so I can’t be that bad

2019-12-19 17:19:06 UTC  

And she doesn’t drink

2019-12-19 17:19:20 UTC  

I don't believe that you're putting no one else at risk. I also don't believe that libertarianism is compatible with family.

2019-12-19 17:19:52 UTC  

What would happen if she wasn't okay with it?
