Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, loves talking about his creepy spy app he and his son have on their phone that alerts the other if they visit naughty sites. So the writers of this proposal and all that vote for it would be happy to put the same program on their devices and computers, right? And tie that straight to a public feed we can all see? Great Great.

See when I read this story it isn't really that bad.

They believe porn is bad and use the app to keep each other accountable. I don't really have an issue with that. You do you.

But when they start trying to enforce that view through the government it's obviously not okay.

[-] AlternatePersonMan@lemmy.world 60 points 11 months ago

Aside from it being creepy as hell to do that with your son (who probably didn't have a say in the matter) this is a massive national security risk. Spyware on a Congress member's phone? Not a great idea.

It's creepy because it's his son, and he clearly is only doing it to control his kid.

You think the dad doesn't have a second device that's dedicated to wanking?

I'm sorry, I didn't know we lived under Sharia Law.

[-] VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 120 points 11 months ago

It's hilarious and ironic that Christian nationalists hate sharia law whilst wanting their own brand enacted.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 113 points 11 months ago

They don't hate sharia law because it's abhorrent. They hate sharia law because it's not Christian based.

Sex dick? Really Oklahoma? Are you guys OK?

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 32 points 11 months ago

They want to ban porn because it might tempt those who desperately want to be one of the straights.

But seriously, that congressman is so scared of being gay that they want everyone else to give up porn so they won't be challenged by easy dick.

I'm in Wyoming. There's only ten of us here. The goth search was mine. The rest didn't bother with PornHub after I explained that "bear sex" wasn't going to give them the result they were expecting.

Idaho's "dildo ride" absolutely tracks. I have been wearing a Bad Dragon cap for weeks (it's an amazing hat) and it was a ~50 year old woman on the Idaho side of the mountain who recognized the logo.

EDIT: I am not joking. The caps are sick.

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 53 points 11 months ago

I don't want to engage in slander, but just extrapolating from previous conservative projection, that guy has a 15 year-old Honduran boy chained in his laundry room.

Everyone involved in pushing this law should be barred from working in government, and fined for wasting our time.

I wish I didn't live in my COMMUNIST blue state where I can freely watch porn, read books, receive healthcare, feed hungry kids, breath clean air, turn around in driveways without getting shot and an abortion if I or my 10 year old daughter gets RAPED! I would MUCH rather live in a Red State where it's only legal to shoot homeless people, go to church and breath fumes from the coal plant next door unless it gets too cold and I freeze to death!

This guy is nuttier than squirrel shit. Total christofascist.

https://x.com/DustyDeevers/status/1734792445789884779?s=20

Besides banning porn, he wants to ban no-fault divorce, and ban abortion with no exceptions. He called COVID vaccines a"mark of the beast", called for the jailing of Fauci, and the virus was engineering by Bill Gates to decrease population.

Taking bets on how long it takes (not if, but when) this man is hacked and found to be absorbed in the exact thing he's trying to ban.

The bill, set to be introduced next month by state Sen. Dusty Deevers (R-Elgin), would prohibit consuming or producing sexual content that β€œlacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purposes or value” in any medium.

Ok then, every piece of sexual content I produce or consume is in political protest of this specific bill. That should hold up in court. Bust one for Dusty!

I love watching our clueless citizens just allow this descent into fascism. Who knew it would be as simple as just not teaching kids what the word means.

So you get get around it with a whiteboard in the background that has a math equation on it. Kinda like you can get around the swimsuit ban on twitch if you have an inflatable pool with water in it in the background.
