We all get it, the type of porn you watch is still legal even though it has teen in the name.

This is regarding a legal matter where the man's sentence will likely be decided by the fact that the court sees him as an adult. In most cases and as the other user pointed out 18 year olds are referred to as men in a legal context. This disturbingly seems to be the standard practice when describing black males of 18.

Generally speaking, describing alleged criminals as teens implies a lack of legal agency and thus biases the reader toward compassion. The point is that sometimes language can induce bias and consistency is needed. If that consistency falls towards the technicality of having the word teen in their name so be it, but that is not the case with our current media landscape.

Don't forget the joe user in the corner wearing a trench coat with a bomb strapped to his chest wired to a dead man's switch.

Thanks for the pointer. I recolored a bit and updated based on your suggestion. I also reframed too just because it felt a little unfocused.

This is mostly done with brush strokes and blending in Affinity photo 1.8. Haven't done any real art in dozens of years. I'm happy with how this turned out.

Well I'll bring the average to 66% but I'm not going to say which direction to mess up the math.

Went to the lake when spring weather started to set in. There were four of these guys hanging around me keeping the mosquitos at bay. They sat with me the entire time I was there occasionally flying over to the water to drink and coming back.

Las Vegas, early June in the early 2000s they used to hold "JuneFest". $10 to get in for the day, all day outdoor event with everyone from REO Speedwagon, Joan Jett and Jethro Tull to Kansas, Jefferson Starship and Bad Company and more. It was a who's who and who's still alive of the classic rock genre in 2003. But it was one hell of an event. I think it got killed due to lax id checks at the vendors and some violence and heat related injuries.

I think it's only fair that from now on every interviewer of Sen. Kennedy ask him how long he's secretly been a Marxist.

Netflix already costs over $185 a year. For that price I can rent 6 5k UHD movies a month at redbox and get much higher quality viewing. I can't find 6 good things to watch any given month on Netflix. I might turn my membership back on for the final season of Cobra Kai or Stranger Things, but there's just not much else that's compelling me to spend that money.
