Living in Texas also causes impaired brain development. Can we get a fucking warning for that too.
- This is factual true. Just look at education rankings between states.
  
  That's why they call it the lone star state. Lowest rank.
- I mean everything's bigger there right?
  
  As a noggie that has been a lot to TX: Yup. And most of it not in a good way.
  
  Disclaimer: Could be the case for the rest of US too. Apart from being stuck overnight in the worlds biggest truck stop (new jersey), I've only been to texas or in the neighborhood thereof
They are going to fuck around and just ban porn aren't they. Fuck I hate this state.
- They went too purple, so need to make sure left-leaning voters leave. And keeps the debates off of topics that really matter
  
  Wouldn't things like this motivate Blue voters to head to the poles and shift independents left?
- The one star rating state. If it wasn't for the food it'd be zero.
- Only for non-politicians.
  
  But if you're a white male, you can rape an underage girl with barely any punishment.
Oh. I thought this was satire.
- Like a lot of conservative obsessions there is a grain of truth but they take it too far. Porn does affect your brain…but so does church and conservatism
  
  Source? The only articles I found is that being depressed makes you consume more porn. But not the other way around.
Pornhub should post a warning about how fossil fuel pollution impairs bain development.
- Can we remove all of the state legislature for having lead lined brains?
  
  You're making a lot of assumptions here. I don't think they let you legislate in Texas if you've got a brain.
So, this means that Republicans consume porn regularly?
Damn! How much porn are they watching in Texas?
- Assuming their assertion that porn causes brain impairments to be true then it becomes easy to surmise that their politicians have been watching a LOT of porn.
  
  Don't let the idiot voters off the hook.
- Texas conservative are running out of step-sister porn.
Ah, so that’s what’s wrong with me.
- Texas or too much porn?
  
  Pretty sure texas is more harmful than porn
- Texas "christians" would prefer that extra sperm to go forcibly into a walking womb as a gift from their god.
  
  Other states would call that a human woman.
- r/usernameorsomethingIcantrememberthename
Wait, we can sue websites that impair brain development?
- Parler in shambles
This makes total sense about why they want pornhub to do that..
This isn't the America they told me I should be proud of.
As someone who was raised in Texas, grew up then traveled for decades before returning to Texas, I assure you that this is the goofiest of all the states.
