Uh... is there something coming out of the bottom of that horse?

The 2000s were the height? You're at least a decade off: https://www.aetv.com/real-crime/mcmartin-preschool and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day-care_sex-abuse_hysteria and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic_panic

I personally remember my brother being forced to destroy his gold cartridge Ocarina of Time when my mother heard/thought it was pagan witchcraft. She watched him do it and claimed she saw green fire/smoke blaze up from it and claimed that it was the devil that had been inside. So that was the later 90s, I guess.

I seem to recall the .xxx going live/large-time in the late 00s era. There was an article series in the newspaper about my area's colleges all suing to gain control of the (college name).xxx sites.

The acreage per cow is very dependent on where you are. I have a friend with a mother who just wanted to raise cows in her retirement (and reap the sweet tax breaks of having a 'ranch'), and they support roughly 1 cow per acre with slight supplementation of food cubes during the winter. Go out to someplace that's famous for cattle like west texas, and suddenly it's a lot less,but they have so much range out there that they can let the cows go nuts.

Damn, you better stick that back in, or some anime character is going to have a completely different first episode ending.

Careful with the mesophile label, some microbiologists may start watching you with interest.

It's a distinction some make, where pedophiles go for the kid kids, like prepubescent, where ephebophiles want the ones who have at least started puberty but are still kids.

Fucking hell, yes! These infuriate me. And not mildly, either! I sometimes wish I had a bot net that could ping their stupid systems so much that they'd suffer for routing tracking through their own internal system/service.

save a buck and then spend far more than they saved fighting legal battles

I wish that were true, but man, it sure seems like the assholes doing this never seem to come away with less profits.

It still staggers me how quickly some people's opinions on landlords changes when they see the money. A bunch of otherwise stand up fellas are now dreaming of using their retirement investments to 'buy some houses, rent them out for the passive income,' and another of the group who says his dream is to buy/own an apartment complex, all the while salivating at the money.

Most of us are trying to play in a game we hate... where not playing means suffering. I don't really see just owning rental properties to be worthy of the billionaire boil. Hold them accountable for every scummy practice and ounce of harm caused by greed seeking, but not merely for renting housing out.

Methodists are also okay with women being pastors/priests/preachers. They're also pretty good at begging everyone for money.

I'm imagining an italian fusion of country, where his pasta broke his heart, so his girlfriend broke it to make him feel better heart, which broke his heart again.
