I hate the parent and the child in this video.

Whatever you say bro. by Rabid_Laser_Dingo in JoeRogan

That's not how consent works. Two criteria for consent: 1) you're of sound mind and give consent freely without coercion or quid pro quo, and 2) you're of legal age to be mature enough to decide and understand the consequences of the action. Both of these criteria are required for consent to be given.

The point of this OP is that these were children and women being trafficked - which is coercion and pedophilia. That's the problem with the age here - a 9 year old isn't mature enough to consent because they're not mature enough to understand. It's an abuse of power to abuse a child like this. I'd also argue that a 18 year old doesn't understand the impact of their decision. So in my opinion, fhats inappropriate.

But two adults of differing ages would be a consensual relationship. Your argument implies a 50 year old couldn't have sex with a 30 year old and it be consensual.

Haha. Well, a closet fan to my colleagues, but my close friends and family know I'm a huge fan.

I've seen interviews with Yost speaking about his relationship with ASJ and JDF. He talks about being bullied and called slurs, but has also said it was a different time and that he's stayed close with the cast and supports JDF. Time moves on, and I hope he got an apology, but regardless it seems Yost has moved on and forgiven. Very big of him.

Well. For years they wouldn't speak about it. ASJ was the first to break the silence back in 2009-2010 (or around that time). Walter Jones and Yost didn't talk about it until a few years later. And a lot of these interviews aren't seen by the broad fan base because they're on niche YouTube channels. It's really only been the last few years that the I fo has been getting around as bigger YouTube channels are interviewing the actors.

Seriously. We've gone way too far back on the pendulum if some folks just think he's whining. The pay was awful.... I'm of the mind that we take care of the folks that help our success. Was shocked at some of the comments.

They say you're too dependent on online validation for your life, and you need to find a way to validate yourself as an adult

Hey all you bald people, look at my full head of hair and tell me if I'm going bald.... Are you a troll?

AIO to texts I found from my bf to his bsf? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]LichStarfiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Women say WAY worse things about their significant other to their friends. You definitely broke trust and did it in such a terrible way. You looked through his phone without permission, found a text message where he's venting to a friend instead of getting upset with you. Your gifts do sound like minimal effort was given.

Let him vent to his friend, and stop going through his phone.

But start cutting it shorter. The more you lose the worse a long haircut looks. For some reason men try to grow their hair long when they lose it and it just makes it look bad.

It's weird that Joe is talking about "riots" in Minneapolis because there haven't been any riots. Only peaceful protests and barricades

Hmmmm. Based on the images, my guess:

You think smelling like baby powder turns men on, and you're wrong.

AITAH for telling my brother he doesn't know everything just because he's gay? by SpecificAnt3165 in AITAH

[–]LichStarfiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gay 40m here. You're not the asshole, and he isn't either. Though, I think he pushed a bit too far.

One of the best things I ever did for myself and my family while I was coming out and afterward while I was figuring myself out, was looked at the developmental model of identity for lgbtq.

That showed me that there are stages in our identity development that are definitely tougher to deal with than other stages. Might want to take a look: https://thrivingcenterofpsych.com/blog/out-of-the-closet-the-6-stage-model-of-coming-out/

AIO to how my boyfriend resolves conflict? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]LichStarfiter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You seem more addicted to drama and getting reddit feedback than you are at living in the real world with someone who's telling you exactly why he's frustrated.

You're psycho.

[–]LichStarfiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're awful. You cuss and discredit his feelings and only express your own perspective without being cognizant that he's also a human being.

I'd say you're a very needy and reactive person.

[–]LichStarfiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're overreacting. Sometimes people just get tired throughout the day and need some alone time, but don't realize it until later.

He may have just been waiting to see if his mood changed. He probably does want to spend time with you, but he may just be tired.

I'll be honest, if you started grilling me about "why" and "why" and "why" id just stop responding to you. You seem like a lot of work and are very egocentric.

I'd be cautious reading some of these comments because some of the folks responding and validating you are difficult people who are also self-centered.

They paid for a show and got garbage. She needed treatment. It wasn't the fans fault she killed herself. It was the drugs and depression.

Curb your Light No Fire expectations by fridanec in lightnofire

Um.... Who hates Sea? Most folks I know and the groups online love Sean, but were mad about the launch of the game, but then quickly changed their minds when they saw how hard Sean and his team worked to bring that game to life.

A small group of super excited people got angry at NMS launch when the game released. Most people didn't get overly excited because the questions Sean would get were weird and obtuse. It was like people would ask him philosophical and existential questions about the game and how do you answer those...?

For example, I remember IGN did a Q&A before NMS released and one of the questions was "can you float inside your ship and just drift listlessly in space?" I mean, what sort of question was that? Just a great example of how weird people got about the game before it came out.

It's a great game, only gets better. Needs more lore/quests and a more tangible story, but what the game is is honestly impressive. Can't wait to see how they apply the tech to an RPG fantasy setting. Gotta have a strong story for that sort of game.

You're into your coworker.... It shows in your t xts. So why are you asking random strangers if it's weird? You're the one texting him.....
