you think teaching little kids about personal space and inappropriate behavior requires showing them graphic images of sex, preferably with yourself in them

This is why the alt-right is delusional and everyone hates your retarded asses. No sex education wants to show graphic images. Only pedos like you would try to show porn to a child. But you'd prefer they think that when you molest a toddler it's just normal play instead of telling them what a vagina is and that Uncle Magzteel shouldn't do that.

Typical bubba gump sisterfucker pedobear, you are. Keep them dumb so they're easy to rape and they won't even realize it. Plus, if they're dumb, they keep voting for the evil fucks that you like because they want to remove bans on child marriage and force raped little girls to have their rapists babies.

Adult women won't touch you, so that's the only way you'll ever reproduce. Do everyone a favor and fucking don't. Die.

I'm no teacher, but at this point I just consider this a skill.

If you can get GPT or whatever to summarize a topic in the right format, with good details, and I can't tell it's AI-generated... fucking good for you. If the GPT output is garbage, it will be obvious or won't net a good grade, and it's a non-issue anyway.

The student may not learn the intended information, but that will work itself out. If that was information the student needed to succeed in tests or other work down the line, they won't have it and will fail as they rightly should.

Yeah, but they're generally expected to already have a business and established product before trying to sell it to people. You're supposed to have a reasonable chance of a return on your investment. This is IPO early access.

"Give us money, maybe we'll make it, maybe we won't, you don't know."

Well, I guess it's up to the investors to research the company and decide if they believe their claims. Hope it doesn't tank, but it probably will.

No, I have no problem with kids, and have no sexual interest in them. You see, you missed the point entirely, and you sound like a pedophile because of it.

The reason you teach children about sex early is so when someone like you has their 5-year-old niece on their knee and plays "tickle monster" but gets a little too frisky and touches their no-no places, they know it's wrong and tell an actual responsible adult so they can throw your pedo ass in with Bubba for the rest of your unnatural life.

The only people against this are the kiddy fiddlers like you.

If this is your take on sex education you should probably just save everyone the time and money and go hang yourself in your closet like a good fucked-in-the-head deviant.

Once you agree with the author that the book is for older teens and not for kids you are accepting that it is not suitable for all ages

I agree they said that. I don't agree with the premise.

I think children should be allowed to know anything they want, and the "shying away from difficult topics" part of raising a kid is failing your child. Full stop.

One of the most powerful aspects of sexual education is to let the child know what is inappropriate and how to make decisions about getting help or telling an adult. It also helps children with gender or sexual identity issues understand what they're feeling and explore what options are out there.

But then again, I just described exactly why conservatives are so against books like that. They want children to be stupid, and unaware, and easy targets. They don't want to have difficult conversations because that would mean having more than a TV or iPad babysit your child for 10 years. They want to be able to say "They're just evil and you have to hate them because we say so" instead of actually understanding the person's point of view.

Fuck book banners. Every one of them. If you're allowed to ban LGBTQ+ books from my school library, I should be able to ban Sarah Palin and Tucker Carlson's dogshit books from fucking Hobby Lobby checkout lines. They're more full of indoctrination and bullshit than any of the LGBTQ+ books.

I imagine for music piracy it's majority the real hobbyist type, like the FLAC collector crowd rather than just your average person

There are some great services that provide lossless or 'audiophile' quality music. I think Tidal does up to 192kHz 24-bit which is fantastic for a streaming service.

It's just much more trouble than it's worth to download/manage music files rather than just streaming them whenever you actually want to hear them. Plus it means all new releases are in the same interface without any more work.

If we went back to like 2017-2018 era Netflix for film and TV I would absolutely pay for it again, even at current Netflix prices. But if you think I'm going to buy Disney+, Netflix, Paramount+, Hulu, Peacock, whatever else is out there... just to see one or two things on each platform... go fuck yourself.

No, Piracy does not cost "thousands of jobs" in any way.

It's also not stealing; nothing of the original is 'lost' so you are not depriving the original owner of their property.

A pirated copy or viewing of a film or TV show also doesn't equate to a 'lost sale' or anything of the sort. Most people who pirate would otherwise... just not watch that content.

No, the MPA should not be allowed to blanket remove websites without any due process or hearings because they like money.

If you have a problem with a copyright-violating website, do what you always do and subpoena/sue/shut down the site in the right way like a good corporate fuckstick.

I only clicked on this because I can't understand how this isn't an Onion article.

Will the tempo restriction be on the original piece, or are sped-up Nightcore versions of really slow songs that now fall in the range acceptable?

Do remixes count at their remixed speed, or the original track's tempo?

Holy shit this is mentally ill on a national level.

How was this not already a thing? Don't you have to be 18 to sign a legally binding contract anyway?

At least back when I was that age (which admittedly was over 20 years ago) I couldn't have bought a cell phone if I wanted to. My parents got me my Nokia nugget at 16, and like the DAY I turned 18 they said "Go to the phone store and switch it to your own account". I had to pay a deposit, too, because I didn't have any credit yet either since I just bought my first car with cash.

If I had kids that age I'd be pissed if they went down to the Verizon store and just got a contract phone without me directly involved.
