  • If it’s a matter of days you could probably just lie about the timing of your last period. Those weeks are calculated from the date of your last period, not from the date of conception, so as long as you’re the only one who knows your cycle you could probably lie a little bit.

    Which also makes a 5 week deadline more insane than most people realize. Given a steady 4 week cycle, you have 1 week to realize your period is late, schedule and perform an abortion. A lot of people do not have a steady cycle, and those may very well not notice until it’s too late, even if they track their cycle.






  • I certainly did as a kid in the late 90s and early 2000s. I found dirty magazines before I had access to the Internet, and after I visited both pornsites and outright gore like rotten.com. None of it harmed me in any way.

    If anything, the various shock sites we were tricked into seeing, like goatse, tub girl, lemon party and 2 girls 1 cup were worse, but even those weren’t too bad, and I appreciate understanding the cultural references to them.

    The real question is whether seeing some porn is actually a problem. I’d argue not, provided there’s also sex ed teaching you that porn does not model healthy sex or relationships.


  • Things do not always get implemented in complexity order. A lot of the time it’s dictated by whether one has both a use-case and the means to implement it, and businesses have had money and a need to put things on paper for quite a while.

    That being said, 3D printing is difficult and complicated, in software. Mechanically it’s quite simple. A DIY-er can easily copy complicated software to use a 3D printer, but you can’t easily copy complicated mechanical parts to make a 2D printer.
