And after jerking off her date in a public venue

[–] worldwidewave@lemmy.world 51 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sex ed’s not gonna help too much with this one.

A handy’s generally one of the safest forms of sex, and I don’t think they tell you where to have sex in school, at least they didn’t when I was around.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 36 points 2 months ago

No but we’re sitting and saying kids should never learn about sex, and then doing this in public w children on-site which inevitably spurs questions, I’d imagine

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She was juicing the beetle.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Thank god she wasn’t juicing the weasel

Or … wheezin the juice

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No wheezing the juice!

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

Honestly, that's a significant improvement over the sex ed we get here in Texas.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 74 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The teen pregnancies are the point

[–] ChowJeeBai@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

If they spend all their alimony surviving and taking care of their kid, they can't spend time thinking about the shite job the republicans are doing.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Keep them poor, keep them ignorant and profit.

[–] Delusional@lemmy.world 71 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah but that's just basic republican 101, be a massive fucking hypocrite about everything.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

Republican logic: "I get to tell you what to do, but you didn't get to tell me what to do."

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world -2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Sorry to be pedantic but this isn't being a hypocrite is it? I see it more like absolute ignorance, tiger ate my face, refusal to acknowledge science data and facts, etc that is also all very republican 101. But for once idk how hypocrite just thr extra layer of stupid

Edit (and gonna reply to this edit the same thing cuz lemmy sucks at showing them and this is important) Ok I read another comment and it definitely put into context for me how this is hypocrital too!!!! They wanna protect the children while doing this shit in unexpected places in front of children where it is much more graphic, traumatizing, and upsetting than the sanitized facts you're getting , in an environment you're anticipating and prepared for it and can sorta joke with classmates too ....

They wanna outlaw that but she's down to whip a dick out and get sloppy in public.

I didn't know that her teenage son had gotten pregnant.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 50 points 2 months ago

That's how bad it can get without sex-ed.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

You may think you're making a fun point, but teenage girls don't get pregnant just by showing their midriff and the occasional bra strap, typically a teenage boy is equally participating in the pregnancy. We're pregnant make a lot more sense than She's pregnant, and I'm just window dressing. Bobbert raised morons who couldn't or wouldn't wear a condom, I know a fair amount of guys my age (40s) that don't have a single kid, it's not impossible. They weren't geniuses, they just wore condoms.

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 1 points 2 months ago

Right? I feel like that would be the bigger news story, here.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 36 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Teen pregnancy is the point.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So much of the current White Replacement hysteria revolves around white woman not having enough babies.

Can't be overstated how that plays into a conservative hatred for sex ed

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

Yup, as far as they're concerned white girls need to become breeding slaves to save the so-called white race.

It reeks of sexual pathology.

[–] Pretzilla@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago

She advocates for kids in the audience getting in person sex ed

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Makes sense. The irony is strong.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

She just keeps getting dumber. Alzheimers might be an improvement

[–] friek@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Betelgeuse Betelgeuse Betelgeuse!

Which is short for "yoU'Re Sexually Assaulting a Minor (by giving handjobs in front of them)"

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Legend has it that if you say it three times and you are a constituent, Beetlebert shows up to give out a handy. If you finish up by yelling "oh $DEITY", it's considered both biblical AND Constitutional, since she thinks the separation of the two is a liberal fiction.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

What does this mean?

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

She looks ready for the 4th of July pie eating contest!!

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Every time I see a picture of her, my brain immediately says: "howler monkey."

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Same thought process as people who were beat with belts and “turned out fine”.
