The real problem is how we use our resources, not how big our population is.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't part of the problem that the auto industry wants to chase the higher profit margins on larger vehicles? As long as the perverse incentive is present it's going to be an uphill battle to get them to produce more compact, cost effective cars.

Comedy gold, except for everyone who has to try and shop at a Walgreens.

It really is a tale as old as time.

Happy to see Apothecary Diaries so doing so well. It really deserves every bit of attention.

Proof of the value of looking beyond the most base layer of news. You'll make it easy to be fed a narrative that fits the elites worldview.

Thanks for including the explanation. Well, that gives a small ray of hope I suppose? Things haven't ALREADY collapsed.

So, to an extent sure, I don't think it's some horrible thing for simply moralistic reasons, everyone has to discover their sexuality one way or another. However, I do think maybe having an entire digital library of smut dumped in your lap the moment you have access to a smartphone and some private time is probably not good for your sexual development. Ideally we'd just have parents/guardians use some common sense and take advantage of parental controls to limit access. But, we both know that many are neglectful or simply busy with trying to make ends meet to constantly monitor these things. Is the right answer government intervention? I'm personally more than a little skeptical, but I can see why some people see it as a valid concern.

It's a classic tactic, use a somewhat legitimate concern (Minors having access to pornography). And blow it far out of proportion, and use it as an excuse to crackdown on what you're really after. You will see people defending these bans because the "reasoning" they're being presented SEEMS rational, but unwittingly they're supporting a mass crackdown on their own rights.

Thank goodness that unimportant side-character, who definitely won't end up being important later on, was there to catch the kitten for her! So glad to have this series back on-air, I just love the nice mixture of small little mysteries, intrigue, and Maomao's selective obliviousness.
