The US is so strange at times.

Blood and guts on TV - okay. Single female nipple on TV - not okay.
Killing someone in Afghanistan at 18 - okay. Drinking at 18 - not okay.
Charging tens of thousands of dollars for medical care - okay. Helping out poor people with their medical care - not okay.
President openly calls for an insurrection - okay. President stumbles on a stair - not okay.

S*** is f***ed.

There's too many states with widely varying views and culture on all sorts of stuff. It's pretty much like Europe in that regard, and might be better off divvying up into separate countries but remaining an economic bloc.

They make great junk food and pornography though.

Major league sports in the USA have players running around with DV convictions but consensually boinking a 17 year old is a bridge too far

* I’m not fully across the Giddey situation so might be wrong but from what I’ve seen the girl was a willing participant.

I’m also not sure if he knew she was under 18 but again it appears he did.

Finally, I accept it’s illegal in the US but I don’t find it particularly outrageous behaviour
 
Consent Map

Oklahoma is 16 for consent. 11 states are 18 for consent which is hilarious. A bunch at 17yo too.

Why does every Aussie in the NBA I get excited about seem to turn into a walking disaster?
If I click that do I get put on a list?
 
Being attacked from all sides with Black Friday promotions. Stop trying to take my money!!

They got me. My missus has been carrying on about a Dyson air wand with the subtley of an elephant parading around the city.

$400 off at the good guys was too good a deal. Christmas sorted.

Karl Malone knocked up a 13 year old when he was 20.

That one gets glossed over a lot when talking about his career
 
Got my SIL for the family KK. Quietly rather pleased with what I got for her but it's not even December yet so I'm sure to convince myself she'll hate it by the 25th.

That's incredibly efficient. How would you feel about buying gifts for my children? I'll cover the cost, just please don't make me go to the shops
 
Black Friday sales. If you know what they want/like, buy it now and store it at work or grandma's house.

Grandma's been evacuated because of these fires in Wanneroo 😞 I made the mistake of handing my 5 year old a sports catalogue and he's found this obscure buggy bike thing with a steering wheel. I can't quite tell what it's for. It looks like one of those drifting type cart/buggy things but doesn't have the plastic rear wheels.

So it's essentially just a really big, pointless bike. And it's almost $550. He's not getting it. I don't even know where he would use it. On the roads trying to get wiped out by cars?
