    Living in Texas also causes impaired brain development. Can we get a fucking warning for that too.

        As a noggie that has been a lot to TX: Yup. And most of it not in a good way.

        Disclaimer: Could be the case for the rest of US too. Apart from being stuck overnight in the worlds biggest truck stop (new jersey), I’ve only been to texas or in the neighborhood thereof

          It is, I lived there (sadly) for 26 years, before being moved to the absolute paradise that is Oklahoma…/s but, I’m literally moving to California today actually and I can’t wait. It has its problems too but I’ll take those over where I’ve been any day.

      Like a lot of conservative obsessions there is a grain of truth but they take it too far. Porn does affect your brain…but so does church and conservatism

        Source? The only articles I found is that being depressed makes you consume more porn. But not the other way around.

            They really are in a league of their own.

              These guys just want sex in marriages but don’t understand repercussions. Like my wife can’t keep up with my drive. She gets sore, I guess I better cheat since there is no porn…but I guess that leads to divorce and then more marriages? This is a conspiracy by big wedding!!!

              Whole bottom half is /s

                Well you see, if you cheat on your wife the other lady might get pregnant to “convince you to leave your wife for her.” I remember some Republican incoherently jibbering about “we got to have more kids.”

                I think we might have cracked that nut.

                  Yeah but “the sanctity of marriage.” my spouse father left his wife for mistress in attempt “to make it right”. I’m Like “for who”? Maybe don’t get another women pregnant or keep the baby when you are barely scrapping by as is. Meanwhile SO has to work 3 Jobs college and he ended up divorced again 10 Years later. Crazy no one could have predicted baby trapping by a women 5 years older than your daughter didn’t work out.

                  Worst is my dad who toots sanctity of marriage while regularly abusing and cheating on his wife. “Oh it’s a Covent with god” and all that. F you dude. I don’t know why she sticks with him. Bro can’t be bothered to treat her like a human. Legit treats dog better.

                  No shocker both are GOP a_holes

                  End game is more kids HATE them.

        You’re making a lot of assumptions here. I don’t think they let you legislate in Texas if you’ve got a brain.

    As someone who was raised in Texas, grew up then traveled for decades before returning to Texas, I assure you that this is the goofiest of all the states.
