@HarryAnt13@bdquinn There are 266.6 million people and businesses whose tax liabilities are denominated in the USD. They can't pay their taxes in any other form of currency or valuables.
This means that there will always be demand for USD as long the USG exists. No one needs bitcoin for anything.
@JCC31925@Hogwatch6@bonchieredstate Statutory rape remains illegal in California. Wiener's law doesn't change that. It just treats gays the same as straights.
If you don't like that, you just hate gays.
@JCC31925@Hogwatch6@bonchieredstate No. Wiener allowed judges to be reasonable. This bill was supported by basically every police union and legal expert.
@JCC31925@Hogwatch6@bonchieredstate No. I don't think a 20 something should have their lives ruined for having sex with some dumb twink that lies about his age on grindr.
@JCC31925@Hogwatch6@bonchieredstate Before SB 145, judges already had discretion to decide whether registration was required for some cases involving vaginal intercourse, but registration was automatically required for anal sex offenses.
@wifeguychud@bonchieredstate@IamSean90 Yes, because that's what the law is for straight people. A judge can exercise common sense judgement. Wiener removed the anti gay bias.
@JCC31925@Hogwatch6@bonchieredstate Wiener's legislation removed anti-gay bias from consent laws. It was supported by basically all of the police unions and judges.
@real_UH1@SwannMarcus89 It's not a crime to spread disease nor should it be. You want people to work with health authorities without the fear of arrest.
@Twolfrecovery I think this is not a loony idea. If the ai companies are going to copy everything we do and say to make their products, they might as well turn a profit for the public. Not saying it's a good policy but i get the moral logic.
