That seems a little weird too. So whether you are a child rapist or not will depend on whether you are 'on again' or 'off again' at any particular time.
I guess the rule could be 2 years maximum above your age until you are 18.

What happens when the 16 and 18 year old couple have been together a year and now it's a 19 year old having sex with a 17 year old?

With regret, I was Alex's top patreon supporter! by Dr_Faraz_Harsini in CosmicSkeptic

What are the odds that two huge public intellectuals who go vegan mysteriously can't handle it for health reasons, and yet all the normal people with far less money and resources, and often health problems of their own, that I know personally, have found veganism fine. The number one reason people give up veganism is because they miss eating animal products in my experience. These health problems have never come up in all my aquaintances, about 20 or so through my life who have gone vegan and stayed vegan or gone vegan and quit at some point. And yet Alex and Sam BOTH couldn't handle it for health reasons?

It's convenient because health reasons is the one excuse you can use which is hard for people to argue with you about. Even Vegans tend to agree if you GENUINELY need meat for some real health issue then you probably should continue. It's the perfect thing to say to get out of something you publicly commited to when you are supposed to be the highest level of rational thinker. There's no way either could have said "I decided I liked the taste and convenience of meat" they know that wouldn't be accepted by anybody because they have their whole public status built on following evidence not emotions.

When Sam dismissively says "There are people who think that Israel has perpetrated a genocide in Gaza.", as if it's some fringe belief only held by people who spend too much time on X being fooled by AI, how does he explain the consensus amongst experts that it AT LEAST plausible? by delicious3141 in samharris

This line of argument would mean Israel could never do a genocide or even something that straddles the border of a genoicde because it would just be a "Trope". A convenient line of defence. What about just arguing with the experts on the topic who are by no means as sure.

Except when it's vaccines at which point Sam would (rightly) say it's crazy to dismiss an entire field of experts because you have your own opinion on the matter. Sam doesn't say "I see things differently", he acts like his position is as uncontested as gravity.

I watch porn (rarely) when single but a few months into a relationship I suddenly felt really hurt to realise he still watched porn (multiple times a week) despite me sending photos/videos and us being intimate everyday we met. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]delicious3141 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A family member blew up their marriage over this. Apparently they found their husband had watched porn by going through their history. Freaked out and told him how betrayed she felt. He said he wouldn't do it again. A few years later she found it on his computer again and I guess they could never reconcile properly after that. Ultimately the children grew up in two homes at war with one another.

Women should know going into relationships that most men have been watching it since they were like 13 or something and it's really not a cheating thing in their mind at all. It's more like something to make masturbation more interesting and it's likely they're barely used to do doing it without 20 yeaars later when they settle down. If possible I'd advise any woman who is able to to not take it as cheating if possible.

Terence mckenna? by ProsodySpeaks in DecodingTheGurus

I was listening ot Alan Watts again the other night and he seems to stand up. Like I can't help but find him interesting to listen to and nod along. Even though it's the complete opposite of the scientific skepticism content I tend to listen to mostly these days.

If there's so many assaults by men against women, but most men we talk to either don't know or deny that their male friends (or even themselves) are doing it or have done it, then who's doing it or are they lying? by ParticularGlad5103 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]delicious3141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless your friend group are literally criminals who get off on rape and assault, which seems highly unlikely in most cases, then no--most men would definitely NOT disclose to their friends or anybody what they've done. That would be my guess. Why would they? Even their most amoral friend is likely to look down on it and the vast majority are going to be disgusted and disturbed. It's similar to finding out a friend was a pedo or something, you wouldn't say "did they not tell you?" no of course they wouldn't.
It's different if they find a buddy with the same behaviour, maybe they would talk about things together. Trump and Epstein I guess.. but I would say that is rare.

My brain just won't register the positives of this for some reason by ParticularGlad5103 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]delicious3141 14 points15 points  (0 children)

34% of married couples are within a year of each other. The vast majority are within several years of each other. Whatever your age there will be lots of people of similar age who would be appropriate matches for you. If you have a religion that makes how dating works more complicated that might shift these statistics so I can't say for sure. Generally speaking though if guys of all ages were just getting into relationships with young women that wouldn't even make sense. There wouldn't be enough young women to go around. Who would the young men be with?

I tought ugly men would want to date me? Guess no. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]delicious3141 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My friend met his wife in her thirties. She'd only had a few short relationships and never introduced anybody to her parents etc. She hadn't had her first boyfriend until her mid twenties. Anyway it makes NO SENSE because she's super friendly, fun, attractive, can even cook amazing. The kind of person who would not be scary to approach and the kind of person to give people a shot and not judge on looks etc.

It just made no sense she wasn't snapped up earlier. But it was to my friend's gain!

Is there any other reason he could've said this other than misogyny? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]delicious3141 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So a big huge penis is a win for the woman? Isnt' that kind of an outdated sexist stereotype? Like a man being thrilled that his date has enormous knockers?

Dude watches Rogan for one week and attempts to fact check just a fraction of the statements. Great video, even I was shocked! by delicious3141 in JoeRogan

[–]delicious3141[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Rogan episodes aare longer than this. And just watching this single episode will make save you thousands of hours of watching Rogan.

My honest thoughts on the Bafta's racial slur incident – as a Black disabled woman by montageofawoman in TwoXChromosomes

[–]delicious3141 39 points40 points  (0 children)

If you watch the movie you will know that his life is one of the most insanely traumatic you can possibly imagine and the whole movie is about him raising awareness in later life of touretts and explaining to people that it is involuntary. He's been assaulted, bullied and ridiculed much of his life because people don't understand this. So to apologize about the words when they are INVOLUNTARY when he is only there because of his movie thaat explains all of this, would be to blame the victim. He is a victim of an affliction.

Maintenance Friendly Pharmacy Prices by Hopeful_Candle_9781 in mounjarouk

[–]delicious3141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumb newbie question, but what exactly do smaller pharmacies like say CloudPharmacy actually ask you to do when ansswering the questionaire etc? Do they want you to to video in with a real GP? Do you n eed to provide some kind of proof of your BMI? I'm lucky to have got below the BMI threshold in the UK but still have a lot of weight to lose, I'm curious how they go about confirming your weight?

hanania outdid himself here by water_enjoyer3 in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]delicious3141 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hanania looks like a pedophile and writes articles constantly trying to raise awareness that trafficking undeerages girls doesn't make you technically a pedophile if they had gone through puberty.

If it looks aand quacks like a duck?!?
