Due to the attempts to force age verification bills at the state level, a scientific group was able to test their efficacy.
They failed.
Miserably.

So, without hesitation (like hella fast, y'all), I say, "The blonde guy from 2 Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place."

...the way everyone is looking at me...oof. I spoke too soon. I tried to back up but they all knew I was into Ryan Reynolds back in 2000, outing me at 13. 3/3

[The Sex Analyst (he/they) @AetherianN]

I was outed thanks to Ryan Reynolds @VancityReynolds -- a thread.

I was 13. This girl says she can tell if you're gay by checking the back of your throat. I do not pass whatever that test is. Everyone is watching. I'm horrified, knowing I'm gay. 1/3

[The Sex Analyst (he/they) @AetherianN]

So she gives me a 2nd chance. "If you're not gay, I will be able to tell by how you answer...If you HAD to sleep with another guy because you'd be killed otherwise, who would it be?"

Now, keep in mind, I'm 13. But I have been crushing hard on this no-name actor. 2/3

Client: I have no time to work in mindfulness exercises!

Me: ...do you poop?

[The Sex Analyst (he/they) @AetherianN]

A great read.

Just saw someone blame bullying on the name a parent gives a kid. Realized, he was a bully at some point and made fun of kids for their names. Funny how childhood bullies can justify their behavior as adults by believing kids naturally bully others over the things they did.

@DrDavidLey Oh, wow. Yes, this must be corrected. Gross misinformation, glad you caught it.

@GoblinMoxxi This show is a hit with my AB/DL clients!

How is "South Park: The Fractured But Whole" the #queer #affirming game I always needed? Loving this (actively playing). My character is Bi-Gender Androsexual and just beat up haters with their friends, earning the "Judgmental DNA" badge.

Just spent a good deal trying to find this app on my phone. X is an automatic thing. Didn't know that. Wee, thanks @elonmusk .

Got a new toy! Stoked to have a graphic display for conferences and meetups.

Is there "healthy pornography" for young adults? A Delphi panel review suggested some possibilities.

Are you aware @Banfield wellness plans don't end when your pet dies? They actually just charge you the full rate of the remaining year, as though losing your loved one isn't painful enough. Do other insurers make family continue to pay after a loved one dies? Seems sketch.

Me, at 36, still recalling how when I was 8, my dad used The Lion King to try and prove a point, not realizing how strong the point was -- "You deliberately disobeyed me, just like Simba!"
Me: "...Um...[frets]...are you gonna die because of me, Dad?"

[The Sex Analyst (he/they) @AetherianN]

Just had to work *hard* not to read this aloud as "turd cart" -- and I failed, 2x, before getting this right.

[The Sex Analyst (he/they) @AetherianN]

You ever forget that you should never read the comments? Oof, what a world.

[The Sex Analyst (he/they) @AetherianN]

Here's to all the random guys asking other guys they don't know to come pee with them. I dunno, but it just happened to me, and I'm down. Girls don't own this.

I've been attacked -- the garbage disposal shot out a piece of food that landed directly in my mouth. It was cold and wet. I need to lie down.
