Anyone who thinks putting barriers up will keep horny kids from finding porn doesn’t remember what it was like to be a horny kid.
Do you know what we had to do to see a single boob in the 80s? And we still did it, even if it wore out the movie on pause or involved sneaking into a creepy forest for a porn stash or watching scrambled channels for hours.
The only thing that taught me more about computers than pirating games was figuring out how to hide my porn.
Lmao trying to hide porn in the late 90’s early 2000’s is what taught me the concept of steganography. There was a windows app you could hide a file vault in an image using steganography, I tried it but eventually the file got corrupted and my stash was ruined, lol.
Dude, same experience but with TrueCrypt hidden volumes - created a decoy partition with boring stuff and the real one hidden inside it, felt like a hacker genuis until I accidentally formated the whole thing.

Damn! I grew up sheltered. Scrambled channels? I don’t think I even knew that was an option. Once a friend of my brother brought a VHS porno and we all watched it but tbh it did not make an impression. I think we were just months away from the appropriate hormones kicking in. OTOH I remember masturbating to a picture of a sweet girl showing cleavage.
BTW if that’s when you grew up you’re not a boomer.
This is probably a hot take but I think parents should give there kids access to porn. Giving them access to ethical porn that depicts things in a realistic way would go a long way in sex education. Sex related topics are taboo so sometimes self study is the best way.
I also think kids mature a lot faster than parents expect which leads to early porn addictions since they have desires but don’t know what to do with them.
Politics has always been over 90% show and/or spin so they can claim to be “doing something” about a problem. The problems are too complicated in most cases for the average voter to spend enough time learning about and understanding the complexities involved, but heaven forbid you should accuse them of not knowing what they’re talking about or voting for - they’re too afraid of being seen as “stupid” to admit the truth of the accusation. So they cover it up with arrogance and bravado.
Most of the politicians are just grifters who will tell their voters what they think they want to hear. The voters who have spent their entire lives too afraid of being bullied to feel comfortable admitting when they don’t actually know what the best solutions are tend to be the real problem. Then they double-down & dig in further when things go wrong in order to avoid admitting they screwed up, which they keep doing in a vicious loop this making things progressively worse - all because they don’t know how to be confident in themselves while also admitting they don’t understand something that supposedly matters so much to them. So we wind up doing the same stupid things over and over again because the voters think they sound good at first blush to these obstinate idiots - “idiots” only because they keep doing the same things over and over expecting a different result. They refuse to be open and honest with themselves, let alone anybody else - all because they’re too afraid to do so.
if those politicians could read they would be very upset
They can and they know. The people voting for them though…

I just recently found out that UKs biggest export is money laundering. I mean I knew they did it, but didn’t expect it to be that much.
