For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

My guy, I found my old man's porn stash in '99 at the ripe old age of 7. He fucking sucked at keeping it hidden. Better that I would have learned sex ed from a more reputable source than Hustler Magazine. Because I knew the words "cock" and "shaft" and "twat" and "tits" before I ever knew penis, vagina, and breasts. And I promise you there are millions of stories like mine where young boys found pornography entirely too early and turned out cis/straight. Just like me.

You know what porn never teaches you? That there are potential negative outcomes to sex. Like unwanted encounters, predators, unwanted pregnancy, and disease. It never teaches you how to protect yourself. It never teaches you how to properly put on a condom. It never teaches you about birth control and it's side effects. It never teaches you how to identify problems in your reproductive system.

Also, plenty of parents are diametrically opposed to teaching kids sex ed, but peruse YouTube Kids for a few minutes and see what kind of creepy shit is being served to them. Kids being served softcore porn on YouTube has been an issue for YEARS. My five year old nephew gets some weird ass Godzilla tits (sans nipples) in thumbnails on YouTube in the Kids app more frequently than you would ever believe. He doesn't understand what it is. But it grabs his attention and gets his click until an adult in the room notices. If you think they won't find it themselves or it won't get served to them, you're dead wrong.

So why not teach them about these things in a controlled environment with a purely educational context?
