IQs are a lot like dicks, if someone tells you about theirs on the Internet they're exaggerating.

No, you don't. The tests can't reliably measure past about 140, which is about what Stephen Hawkings is.

First, IQ is not standardized. Some tests have a standard deviation every 15 points, some have it every 20. Also, they adjust test results based on the age of the one taking the test. So, if Shrapnel took it while in high school, the IQ they would give him would be higher than what an adult who gave the same answers would get.

An exchange between my 5-year old nephew and his father:

"So humiliating"

"What is, kiddo?"

What percentage of Americans want a universal healthcare system at free/very low cost for users?

Free stuff? I assume everyone wants that.

The real question is, how many Americans want to pay for that free stuff?

If you think healthcare is expensive now, just wait until you see how expensive it is when it is free.

Fuck republicans so much.

Spoiler alert, the bottom fucking 60% that would be paying less than they are now would be fucking thrilled to pay for it.

We get it, you rich assholes would rather sit on slightly larger piles of money at the cost of murdering people, stop lying about how poor people would have to pay for it.

I retired an assassin once by using a hat of disguises and then assassinating the party, who had bullied my character for years. The sheer satisfaction of walking away with all their precious items was gold. That was also the last time I gamed with that group of power players.

Being a fiscal conservative means understanding that people have to pay for what they get. There is no bottomless bag of money to spread around. That means not everybody gets what they want - including food, housing and medical care.

If only 'fiscal conservatives' were better at deciding which people got what they wanted we wouldn't have to sacrifice food, housing, or healthcare.

An exchange from work today...

A customer: "You know who I am, right?"

Me: "Uh..."

Customer: "I'm [a co-workers] husband..."

Me: "Oh, yeah, I remember."

Customer: "...and you just charged me for a coffee."

Me: "Well, you're not my husband."

Yes, because the problem with Milo is definitely that he's gay. And because gay people are all pedophiles. That's definitely the track you want to go with.

.... Did you miss the part where he defended pedophilia?

I mean there are definitely issues where republicans went super harder on him for this than everything else he said, almost like they believed everything he said all along, and then believed him when he said this, but were totally fine with the racism, but not fine with the men having sex with young boys thing.

But to claim that someone is only making jokes about a guy who literally defended pedophiles being a pedophile because "all gays are pedophiles" is pretty disingenuous.

How the hell did you miss that giant news cycle when Milo's career crashed and burned because he defended pedophilia and shamed victims thereof for outing their abusers? I think it's the most attention Milo's ever gotten.

He didn't just defend it, he advocated for it.

He defended pedophiles, and said he wasn't personally a victim, that's not the same as advocating for it.

I think it's sad that a slimy hatepeddler like Milo only got in trouble because he stumbled into a taboo like a dumbass. I also find it disturbing that americans paint sex with teenagers as "pedophilia"; it's at the same time deeply troubling in how it denies reality, and in how it cheapens how fucking horrible actual pedophilia is.

Many of the practical reasons to condemn pedophilia are still present when talking about teenagers closer to the legal age of consent. The practical power disparity and relative naivety and impressionability of the younger party do not lend themselves to a situation where all parties are in an equal position to refuse. It's not a recipe for a healthy situation.

Hey, if you're an adult, don't fuck thirteen-year-olds. This is not a complicated topic. No, they are not basically adults. No, their sexual development does not make them fair game. Especially don't go on internet forums whining about how people who are offended by adults fucking thirteen-year-olds are cheapening the horror of "actual" pedophilia. Definitely do not join Milo in insinuating that catholic priests are doing a service to the gay community by teaching thirteen-year-olds how to give head. Quibbling between pedophilia and hebephilia is a matter of academic interest; yes, they are different, and yes, they are plausibly entirely different psychological mechanisms or at the very least distinct manifestations of the same underlying mechanism, and that's probably worth understanding. But the ethical imperatives in each case are very clear and not up for debate. No the thirteen-year-old cannot give meaningful consent and yes you can really fuck up their life so put your dick back in your pants you creepy asshole end of discussion.

The band covered by ephebophilia already stretches past the age of consent. No, you shouldn't be fucking highschool freshmen. Highschool freshmen are still stupid and have zero relationships of equal-power with adults and as such there is basically a 0% chance that what you're doing begins to even look defensible and a 99% chance you're a person in a position of authority deliberately or unthinkingly preying on someone who cannot realistically say no without consequences or at least without fearing potential consequences. But college freshmen specifically do not have any inequal relationships that the rest of us adults don't also have, and any scummy bullshit you could do to sleep with one is the same kind of scummy bullshit you could do to anyone else. We have to set the line somewhere, and the place where you start adopting the responsibility of managing your own life and stop being expected to unconditionally obey authority figures is probably a good point for it. And then not sending hischool seniors to prison for sleeping with highschool juniors and shit like that are good common-sense adjustments to the system. Those two kinds of people are going to have a lot of social overlap and don't have particularly inequal relationships and there's no point ruining anyone's life over that.
