The best argument I've heard is along the lines of "Yes, there are probably 17 year olds that are mentally capable/ready of consent and 19 year olds that aren't. But we need to clearly draw the line somewhere (and somewhere close to where we can be reasonably confident that most young people will be capable/ready), because otherwise we'll get all kinds of arguments from creeps about why they should be allowed to fuck a 10 year old that they say is totally capable of consent."
The AIDS crisis had libertarians and gay friendly people saying "Unholy shit, that is a lot of sodomy!"
Also the amount of gays that did not (and still don't, though anti-retrovirals have changed this somewhat) care about having and/or spreading AIDS gave and still gives a lot of people pause.
The "standard fuck party" clip from this documentary about bugchasing still makes the rounds on /pol/ from time to time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gift_(2003_film)
Worth looking up the clip, it doesn't show any actual sex, it's some middle-aged gay guy giving a tour of the house where he hosts gay orgies. One of the other guys in the video, who is visibly very sickly, talks about how he doesn't care about being sick or potentially spreading it, he just wants to have fun.
I realize that "not all gay people" are like that, but given the massive amount of gays that do engage in such behaviors I think homophobia can be completely justified. But like you said, the "We just want to get married and live like normal people!" gays are carrying water for their hedonistic fellow gays. It also doesn't help when news stories of the "nest builder" gays being pedophile rapists come out, like this disgusting example:
https://au.news.yahoo.com/qld-boys-horror-raised-global-075915383.html
And the (now deleted) article titled "Two Dads are Better Than One" about the same gay couple adopting a kid:

Edit: BONUS ROUND, turns out the female journalist that wrote the puff piece about the gay pedophile couple wrote a response to the controversy. Accountability is nowhere to be found, but getting mad at American conservatives is! https://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-07-10/gorman-second-thoughts/4809582

I found puberty very tough. I felt boys had it easier.
I've found this to be generally true, to the point where someone describing puberty as a scary experience is generally a strong tell for me that the commenter is female. For me (and I assume most boys) the "worst" issues with puberty were (in no particular order):
- Voice changing/cracking
- Constant aching from growth spurts
- Acne
- Constant no-reason (and yes-reason) boners (probably the only "negative" part I miss, now that I have the joy of prostate issues to deal with)
Otherwise, for most boys puberty means getting taller, stronger, and faster. It means being able to grow facial hair (though it can look pretty pathetic initially, I wasn't able to grow a proper beard until my late teens/early 20's). It means finally being allowed to do more "grown-up" things (kids are retarded and don't realize that being a grown-up sucks).
For women I can absolutely see things like 3 to 5 days of pain and bleeding every month as being a horrible experience. But my brain can't relate to the horror I've heard some women express at developing breasts and similar features though, I just don't understand that one.

I mean it's also less accurate and communicates less clearly too. There are plenty of non sexually transmitted diseases that affect the naughty bits too.

The US did fund Chiang Kai Shek and the Nationalists in the late 30's.

Where's the satellite (or other) evidence that "most of IAF" was destroyed on the runway a few days ago?
Indisputable video footage of the entire Israeli air force being destroyed here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=7FwDMzIbZrg
Unless you really do believe she was committing incest with her brother in order to get pregnant with that son which would save her?
B-b-but my totally historically accurate Hollywood movie based on the highest quality romance novel smut said that was why would they lie?!?!

I think Indians and Chinese are hired way more than they deserve in tech
I can confirm this, my current job is working with about 90% Indians where roughly only 1 in 50 are anything even approaching a competent software dev. Given that the managers are all Indian, this strikes me as pretty naked ethnic bias. The handful of East Asians I've worked with at least usually seem competent though.

Demonstrably untrue
Only if you believe that IQ/competence/etc. are equal between those ethnic groups.
I'm inclined to think it's both a cause and a symptom. There are observable issues that can be directly linked to widespread pornography use, including porn-induced erectile dysfunction.
Men go to porn because it's easier than dealing with a real woman, men also have more difficulty doing what has to be done to get a woman because of porn.
This is by no means intended to imply that modern women don't have their own major issues going on.

because they're both in complete agreement that man bad, woman good
My dad (and myself) don't agree with this though? We both would disapprove of both attending a burlesque show and performing in one. "Man and woman both bad, unless they turn to God and repent" would be our view.
You just get butthurt you can't control sex because that's what your primate brain tells you is important, so out come the rationalizations.
Oh wow, tell me more about what I actually believe and why using your mystical evo-psych bullshit powers, please!

If I point a scanner gun at a metallic box and it says “aluminum” I’d assume it’s correct, if it says “xenon” (gas except at extremely cold temperatures) I’d assume the gun is broken and run further tests.
I saw Project Hail May too.

What are Ukrainian women living in Poland meant to do, live out their lives as chaste old maids waiting for dead men?
They shouldn't be in Poland in the first place. They should be staying in Ukraine working in a drone factory or on a farm or in some way that materially contributes to the same war effort their male countrymen are literally sacrificing life and limb for. Or literally making more Ukrainian babies with a Ukrainian spouse so that their country can have any sort of future after the war.

There is absolutely no reason to enrich uranium past a certain percentage unless you're pursuing weapon development.

I mean, one need only look at the highly religious today to see how fathers react to these sorts of things. I know that if I went to a burlesque (or the modern equivalent) and my dad found out, his reaction would be some mix of disappointment, disgust, and anger. And my reaction would be the same if I had a son do the same.

The canonical example is Julia Roberts's outfit in Pretty Woman, where she plays a literal prostitute. Her outfit looks downright chaste compared to the modern thot.

Sadly that strikes me as a "coup complete" solution. Or at a minimum, a "coup already well underway" solution.
As far as I can tell, the actual obstacle that's pushing SpaceX and others to put their compute up into orbit is really just good old fashioned zoning laws.
Which, as I mentioned, would be cheaper to accomplish (and far easier to do maintenance on) somewhere in the ocean as opposed to in orbit.

You can, but it's another one of the big increases in cost compared to a terrestrial datacenter.

The current story for SpaceX is orbital datacentres, which at least has something to do with the existing assets, but is a lot further from actually existing than Autopilot or Tesla Robotics.
Even with the best case price per KG to orbit for Starship, orbital datacenters still really don't make any sense financially. Even when compared to more exotic options like underwater datacenters in the ocean. The only thing orbital datacenters would make sense for is escaping regulation, but even that would require significant changes to all of our current treaties for how satellites and other stuff in space are regulated.

With respect to the one-child policy I think it needs to be pointed out in defense of the Chinese commies that pretty much everyone else in the world was falling for the same nonsense back then. The notion that runaway overpopulation was causing mass poverty, famine and wars seemed irresistible.
Sure, but "we think in centuries while the gwailos think in decades" China went above and beyond what any other country did in regards to stopping the "population bomb".

Previously a member of @stake, she created the bug bounty program at Microsoft
Given the horrendous reputation of Microsoft's bug bounty program that isn't a positive to me
Not a serial killer, but Casey Anthony got plenty of male simps despite killing her kid ("allegedly"). But that's probably because she was decently attractive and she presented herself as the partygirl slut archetype.
