What happened to the picture lol, is it ai'd?

[–] loie@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Old meme from before ai, I think it might be from the show Robot Chicken.

[–] Kyouki@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah I recognize the meme template but not that it looks so distorted?

An AI upscale that's been fried back down to its original low resolution.

In the red states, why would the common law age be younger for girls (12) than it is for boys (14)?

Both are horrifyingly young, but I’m curious what justifies two extra years of child molestation for girls

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 12 points 1 week ago

That's simultaneously a fascinating question but also one I am not at all interested in researching.

The most at hand explanation I think would be biological differences between the genders. Male puberty is, on average, delayed by approximately 18 months in comparison. Girls/women are earlier in development and mature earlier, boys/men later.

Puberty was pretty much the defining factor back in the day for adulthood vs childhood.

Because nobody wants to marry one of those groups, and a certain demographic wants to marry the other.

Ayy my state not being one of the bad ones for once

[–] parody@lemmings.world -1 points 1 week ago

Did they make those laws based on the one in a million?

(I just mean like when that nerd high schooler gets an advanced college degree and they go on the news for it every year or few - like presumably that kid’s parents would know whether they could marry a 20 year-old or whether the older partner should be castrated)

Nah, they're full of them too. If laws prevented pedophilia, it would have disappeared long ago.

[–] Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 week ago

Just like homosexuality!

Wait...

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's fair. We still need the laws though.

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, it at least helps scare some of them out of acting on their impulses.

Well... DC is, they just can't legally marry children.

I am glad we changed the law in Missouri last year, however lots of our pedo politicians like Mike Moon want to challenge it…
