This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The thing is that by now, plenty of adults grew up watching porn when they were minors, and know that this hasn't been harmful to them... so why are we even still getting laws like that, shouldn't voters and their representatives know better by now...

It’s old white fossils trying to stay in power by getting crazy christians to vote for them.

These people are not results-oriented.

I'm stealing that for the next time I have to explain that I'm being held up by a third party not doing what they're supposed to.

They are. Their intended result is just not the result they claim to want.

What about addiction? It’s not 100% but very possible

OK, so we should require everyone to present ID for anything that could be addictive? That's some awful "save the kids" BS. Screw that!

If you want to prevent your kids from watching porn, cool, do that. But don't force everyone else to ID themselves because you're too lazy to actually parent your kids.

Being on porn sites all day is healthier than being on social media all day.

I mean, blood pressure and prostate health alone...

Sure, but thats not from porn, thats from jerking off. You should be able to do that without porn.

And you can live on food without spices.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Sure, but spices aren't actively detrimental to your mental health.

It is. You're delusional if you think it isn't.

What about it? Hell of a lot lore likely with caffeine and we don't make you age verify when a kid buys coffee or tea or soda. If addiction occurs, that's the jurisdiction of medical professionals and the person's support network.
