Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Iranian police have arrested more than 260 people, including three European citizens, on suspicion of spreading satanism, the state-run IRNA news agency reported Friday.

The report said the suspects were arrested on Thursday night in Shahryar County, west of the capital of Tehran, for “spreading the culture of satanism and nudity.” It did not elaborate.

It was not clear how such a large number of arrests were made in one night — if the suspects were in one location, at some gathering or party, or not.

Gatherings where unrelated men and women are seen together are illegal in Iran and considered a sin under Islamic law.

Was anyone else aware that nudity isn't simply a case of undress, but a virus, which can be spread like chickenpox? I sure as hell wasn't, prior to reading this story

"Soon, millions across the land will be showering, sleeping, and fucking, all without any clothes on. It'll be the worst human catastrophe since The Black Plague swept across the medieval world!!!"

Won't anyone think of the cutoff jeans industry!?

[–] Jafoo 2 points 7 months ago

First they came for low rise jeans, and I did not speak out—because I'm more of a breast man than an ass man

Then they came for the mini-skirts, and I did not speak out—because I don't wear skirts myself

Then they came for the bikini, and I did not speak out—because the corner of the globe I live in has 3 distinct seasons, and I don't currently live near the shore

Then they kicked in the door while I was showering, and hauled me off to prison—and there was no one left to speak for me, or practicioners of nudity more generally
