Agree, but I think that’s a separate issue entirely. I think the concept of porn addiction specifically comes up as an excuse for all kinds of depraved acts, from cheating to pedophilia to rape.

It also gives a somewhat conscience-alleviating name to the overwhelming psychological stress that many religious people feel when they experience the cognitive dissonance of enjoying something so “evil” and “sinful”, as the article discusses. An ex of mine, who was raised in a much stricter baptist family, had real, serious trauma from it.

Every single time I have heard someone repeat it, it was in a “fun fact” way and not in a joking way.

“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

You absolutely should, it’s a glorious bottomless rabbithole.

That’s not true; I also speak Dutch!

Anyone want to speak Dutch with me? … That’s what I thought.
