Generic 2018 U.S. Election Cycle Recycling Bin

16-17 is legal in the UK (and has been since 2001 when the age of consent was equalised), not that it stops it being creepy if you are much over 20.

If “under half your age plus seven” is still the definition for “creepy factor,” then for 17, the maximum age for the older partner is 20 (or 21 if you round down after dividing by two), and for 16, it’s 18/19.

I think the rule holds up pretty well in this instance.

I posted this article in another thread. It is AMAZING and it specifically talks about Milo and why gross dudes like him are now okay in our political world.

I discovered yesterday, as I was watching Malcolm X, that the “Half your age plus 7” rule apparently comes from the Nation of Islam.

Sharia Law!!!

This is a reaction to his bullshit “buying escargots with food stamps” tweet earlier, I guess?

Local politicians really can be something special, can’t they?
