I wanted to elaborate on the entertainment bit:

As a musician, would it require my music be evaluated by a tribunal of sorts before I could upload it to soundcloud? Would there be a restriction on topics, lyrics, styles, etc.? Like whether it's Tool, or Godspeed You! Black Emperor, or 100 gecs, or Shania Twain, would there be mandates on what's allowed to be played or listened to?

Some star players and personnel are getting sick too. This whole country is a death cult.

Honestly, they're coming around, but they're still in the dark ages. Homosexuality is still considered a disruption to family ties and social harmony. People here hate HK, but that's probably one of the best imports they've taken after from Westerners. Macau too. Or really any big city, there's whisper networks.

And use VPNs to watch gay porn, but it may not be worth the risk. They are NOT kind to it.

The Beatles were a psyop. Don't trip about. Talented musicians, but they everything about their career in the US was tailored by intelligence services.

I have a feeling the US is losing so much global power and influence that they'll continue to roll over on their back in a Biden-esque way to all these "aggressions"

Maybe time to get off the internet.

I agree with you, but you went pretty aggro in that thread.

And Joseph Smith founded Mormonism and wrote all the texts, doesn't make him the son of God.

Yeah, but why Trump and Desantis?

Xi, Trump, and Merkel

Prager, DeSantis, Trump

wut?

A good story would be something like hiring a prostitute to secure a urine test

Probably trying to clear his nasal cavity

I fell for it too :(

I've only read things about the study, not done a deep dive. Your points are very valid. The links are there if you want to learn more.

The one thing that stuck out for me the most was that of those who had experienced intimacy at very early ages, most reported positive or pleasurable feelings when reflecting back. But the brain has a really wacky way of making sense of trauma, and those self-reports shouldn't be validated. I remember that being the biggest criticism of the study, but it goes into a lot more.

The sociological data underlying the analysis and conclusions found in Sexual Behavior in the Human Male was collected from approximately 5,300 males over a fifteen year period. Sexual Behavior in the Human Female was based on personal interviews with approximately 6,000 women. In the latter, Kinsey analyzed data for the frequency with which women participate in various types of sexual activity and looked at how factors such as age, social-economic status and religious adherence influence sexual behavior. Comparisons are made of female and male sexual activities. Kinsey's evidence suggested that women were less sexually active than men.

Ah, thank you for the explanation. Yes, "common" is the much better descriptor.

I totally agree. I just think not having an honest conversation about it creates mixed messaging.

Ephebophilia/hebephilia is completely normal. (Specifically the attraction - the practice itself should never be normalized in developed society.) Post-pubescent late teens have the characteristics that draw attention on visceral, erogenous/brain-impulse, mating/reproduction level.

There was a post in here about the 10 most dangerous books of the 19th and 20th century that included Nietzsche, Mao, and Marx, but the strange outlier of the group is the Kinsey Reports. The reason it's considered so controversial is because it was the first (and only) study of its kind to explore human sexuality. It reveals some uncomfortable trends that I'll let most people research themselves.

So have at it. Disparage the messenger and hand in my libertarian card. The data disagrees with you, though.

(Again, not in any way advocating on the practice)
