  1. Yes, it is, depending on the age of the adult and the jurisdiction. (ETA: And that's even assuming he isn't hiring a prostitute.)
  2. I can't fathom how engaging your son in a criminal act could be considered preferable to his watching porn. I'm not sure what I think of "porn literacy," but it is an interesting idea and may be needed. I saw the article yesterday and found it rather distressing that it's so prevalent.
  3. Nope. https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2018/02/08/facebook-hoax-new-algorithm-will-not-only-show-you-26-friends/
  4. I didn’t take DD12 last week but would have if her fever had persisted or come back or if there were other signs of a possible secondary infection.
  5. Very cool! Just out of curiosity, I checked out the Flat Earth Society's forums to see what they were saying about the very clearly not flat Earth shown in the video stream. As I expected, they think it's all fake.
  6. Same here. It’s not just hype that it’s worse than usual this year.
  7. It seems problematic to argue that ownership and captivity of animals is "deeply problematic" yet own a dog yourself.
  8. Iced tea (including sun tea) is common where I'm from (Kansas) but not sweet tea. If you order iced tea in a restaurant, you'll get unsweetened tea by default—with lemon if you ask for it.
  9. The peacock’s owner is also a performance artist.
  10. The David Harbour Tide ones. I :001_tt1: Hopper.
  11. I would find the actual cards and re-enter all the SSNs.
  12. The Groundhog Day-related marketing email I got from a company was just stupid. Why would I be more likely to buy xyz on Groundhog Day than on a not-Groundhog Day? GD shopping is not a thing!
  13. That hasn't been my experience, and I have terrible vision. My high-index lenses are still pretty thick but I definitely wouldn't call them "heavy."
  14. I've had a few flashes recently, and I'm 46. I don't really want to have another baby and have been "done" since I had DD12, but goodness babies are sweet. :001_tt1:
  15. They aren’t Scarlett’s meds to dispose of, and her DH isn’t her child.
  16. I just hope they don't make it mawkish or saccharine, and I worry that with Hanks there's a possibility of going over the top with the sweetness. I hope his portrayal is much different than just another version of Forrest Gump.
  17. Our cat is pretty normal. He “talks†a lot more than any other cat I’ve ever had, though. It gets rather annoying.
  18. I don't think anyone is saying you can't/shouldn't leave cooked food out for an hour or two. Leaving perishable food out overnight or all day is not safe because bacteria grow and multiply rapidly in the "danger zone" (40° to 140° F). https://www.foodsafety.gov/keep/basics/chill/index.html https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/food-safety/faq-20058500 https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/keep-food-safe.html
  19. World Market has lots of single-serve options.
  20. Perhaps not, but it's still a pretty silly argument against following food safety guidelines.
