I bring this up all the time, especially with Menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars being in the news recently because the FDA missed its own deadline for banning them. They specifically mention the flavor bans are because children like flavors, WTF, you gonna ban a coughdrop-tasting cigarette but still sell me Cotton Candy Vodka? How fucking hypocritical.
Beyond that, getting drunk has become a "fun" event when you're young or hanging out with friends. It is also so prevalent in movies and tv..
Alcohol is way more ingrained into society though, we've been getting drunk for most of human history!
Agreed, especially young adults who get drawn to it thinking "drinking is cool" or something you do when you become an adult, that, has to stop.
Giving your kids unrestricted access to TikTok/YouTube shorts
Man, youtube shorts just keeps going, forever.
Doom-scrolling.
Life and the world isn't that bad. Like, in some parts it is, but people need to understand that you alone cannot exactly control everything on how they work. They're going to happen anyways. The media has, for decades, successfully ingrained people's minds and mentalities to believe everything must be bad by the minute and to always expect the worse.
But if you stop doom-scrolling for prolonged periods of time and realize this, things aren't as bad as projected.
I'm going to sadly have to go with Porn here, I think it has unfortunately become a very normal part of the upcoming generations young life as they grow up, it sucks kids of today are being exposed to these things earlier than older generations were.
I think the bigger issue with porn addicts is how much time it can consume
And how bastardized their perspective on social activities and being in public can get.
Masturbate and consume porn too much, next thing you know, you're gazing at people's asses, crotches and breasts imagining all sorts of fantasies you'd like to do involving them.
People expect sex within the first date. It could get worse from there.
Absolutely, it can waste a lot of time
Time is a social construct. You can't lose, waste or gain time. It's just a thing is humans invented to better manage our lives.
Time is part of objective physical reality measured by instruments. Humans discovered time, not invented it.
Time is a social construct
And your entire life is inside that social construct. It's just raw denial to suggest otherwise.
Lol. Everyone dv the correct answer. Cycles existed, but humans did indeed decide to break smaller cycles into smaller cycles and measure them. Tbf, probably both perspectives are correct, in different contexts. I need to think about this longer- much longer.
As an adult woman, porn is very beneficial to my sex life. So maybe the problem isn't porn so much as it is children's access to it.
That is surely good for sure, I am not against that in any way, but there are some young adults who are locked with porn which really is fictional and taped, and they can often be bad at real relationships, especially if they get extremely addicted to porn, using porn to help with you sex life is great, but it shouldn't get to a point where it's doing you no good with real relationships. Hope I am making some sense here lol
I understand and I don't disagree. But I don't think that the problem here is porn. It's how these boys are being raised.
Voting tory.
Having sex with my ex-wife
Agreed. I never should’ve done that.
Alcohol is by far the most detrimental drug to both individuals and society and yet is the most socially accepted. Of course that last part is why it's the most detrimental.
