Lol how exactly would you word this health warning? How utterly stupid
"Warning: Any activity or substance that causes a rush of dopamine, serotonin, and/or oxytocin may lead to behavioral or psychological dependence on said substance or activity." ?
Thats actually reasonable. I think people are largely unaware of their own brain plasticity and how much any type of input affects our outlook and actions.
Sure, but putting it on porn and not other things that make people feel good is just pathologizing sexuality in order to shame people.
That's exactly why Texas passed the law.
Yes. That’s why I mentioned it in response to a comment that said they were being reasonable.
Yea that's fair. I feel like the issue lies in education tbh. Our schools don't teach us much about practical things like the relationship between external and internal forces. I'm not for these types of warnings, I just thought that was reasonable compared to what I was expecting lol
Education for southerners!? Are you insane? You must be out of your mind!
