This took me 2 seconds to google.

Perhaps the most serious accusation against pornography is that it incites sexual aggression. But not only do rape statistics suggest otherwise, some experts believe the consumption of pornography may actually reduce the desire to rape by offering a safe, private outlet for deviant sexual desires.

“Rates of rapes and sexual assault in the U.S. are at their lowest levels since the 1960s,” says Christopher J. Ferguson, a professor of psychology and criminal justice at Texas A&M International University. The same goes for other countries: as access to pornography grew in once restrictive Japan, China and Denmark in the past 40 years, rape statistics plummeted. Within the U.S., the states with the least Internet access between 1980 and 2000—and therefore the least access to Internet pornography—experienced a 53 percent increase in rape incidence, whereas the states with the most access experienced a 27 percent drop in the number of reported rapes, according to a paper published in 2006 by Anthony D’Amato, a law professor at Northwestern University.

Okay... So correct me if I'm wrong, but being abused as a child is like... one of the biggest predictors of becoming a pedophile. So like... Should we preemptively go after these people? You know... To protect the kids?

How about single parents that expose their kids to strangers when dating. That's a massive vector for kids to be exposed to child abuse.

Privacy, freedom, and corruption? Like Trump banned international travel from how many Muslim countries? The fact that that happened at all is insane. You don't think these tools will be abused? Like the UK banned fetish porn (which has been thankfully overturned). You would be fine if say.. these tools were used to monitor your sexual habits?

In the reflection it looks like he was turning super low. That's pretty dangerous since your body will swing out horizontal during the turn, and then you can slam into the ground as you swing back.

He shouldn't have been that close to homes in the first place though, I assume they must have really fucked up, and he didn't have a safe spot to land.

My assumption would be the purpose is to shame people.

This is such bullshit. It doesn't cost millions of dollars to add new plumbing, HVAC, and interior walls.

Cool data point, but 7% doesn't feel significant to me.

So did he actually groom them? Because the way this is written it sounds like he asked them their age, and then waited for them to be legal, which is creepy, but I wouldn't call it grooming.

In the CNN article I read they say musk was specifically asked to expand the network for the operation. It seems like a weird spin.

Spoken like someone that's never seen a woman's restroom.
