On the plus side he will spend months in his sub, out of view, racing to help people around the globe.
Unless he vlogs from the sub. I bet he vlogs every exciting moment in the sub across the pacific. Oh lord.

Of course he would… we have to know how he’s saving the world. He’d probably vlog in spandex!

I hope it’s just me, but you keep coming off as formulating excuses for underage sex. This isn’t a case of a sex worker who looked legal but wasn’t; investigating officers have said that if anything she looks younger than her actual age.

Also, any bets that the WANTED poster will become a trophy item for a certain segment?

Oh for sure. Most of the sub will be converted to vlog studio. Need the nice ring light plus at least two fill lights.

Jason Momoa he is not.

I’m not sure Musk would object to basically becoming the Thunderbirds.

Probably sees himself more as Iron Man. Thunderbirds have to share the lime light.

It’s fairly public knowledge that RDJ based his Iron Man persona on Musk, so Musk thinking he’s the real-world Tony Stark would be a real full-circle experience.

Of course, the biggest difference between Musk and Stark is that over the last 10 years, Stark has learned how to care about other people and gotten out of the weapons business.

I didn’t know that but now that you point it out that seems pretty obvious. The darkest time line can be so confusing.

It’s not the darkest timeline, just the dumbest one.

Everyday, I search for a way to escape it.

Musk has another STARK in mind.

It was fairly well defined until about 60 years ago, when Murray Rothbard decided to take the word from the left (he openly admitted to this) despite it having a 150 year long history of being exclusively anti-capitalist. Even the non-socialist anarchists viewed capitalism as taking away their liberties.

Checking an ID would be formula for avoiding underage sex not excusing it. Right?

That was a secondary conversation, I was responding to this comment:

First I responded by saying “does that need highlighting? I thought it was obvious” along with a definition of the word obvious. Which got flagged and removed.

Then I posted a response showing that I had essentially highlighted “Don’t sexually abuse minor’s” by recommending he check the hookers ID. Which is the thing you misinterpreted.

So no, I’m not

I’m trying to stamp out a few of the brush fires of stupidity that continually break out as people here seem to want to put more effort into being offended and misinterpreting your words, than trying to see your point.

Which was originally, simply.

Ah, I think I see the point of confusion here!

The best way to avoid underage sex is to not seek out underage people for sex!

Gunboy categorically did not do that. Far from avoiding it, he actively sought out someone who looked very young. So the whole “Feds’ll get ya” thing sounds strange, when sexual exploitation of a minor was properly reported by people with a duty to report and investigated by people with a duty to investigate.

Priorities, @copykate. Obviously the moral of the story is that thing we most have to be worried about is the feds going after Libertarians fighting for their freedom to blow their hands off with 3D-printed guns and to pay for sex with underaged girls. As the conservatives say about Kavanaugh, any of us could be next!

I have no sympathy for “gun boy”, and I never said anything in support of having sex with underage girls so I’m not going to argue with you on any of that.

I just find it interesting how quickly you can be wiped away when you go afoul of the Feds.

In the Ars link I shared earlier the speaker revealed that they have video of him meeting her at the coffee shop, and going into the hotel. They are definitely thorough. :thinking:I wonder if they were already tailing him then or recovered the tapes later. If they were already trailing him then whether they intervened to protect the girl says a lot about their real motives.

I also find it interesting that they made the announcement while he was out of the country. I don’t know if that was a SNAFU or part of the intention to encourage him to just stay out!
