I think alt-right is becoming a buzzword, blurring out knees sounds more like the regular prehistoric fundamentalist right that's been around in the US since forever.

There's a strange amount of overlap, it's not uncommon for alt-right to schizophrenically switch between open lechery and puritanism as long as it's fuelled by misogyny. A movement made out of failsons who are desperately flailing for anything to grant them legitimacy will do that.

True. I tend to think of the alt-right as people who embrace all the horrible things about conservatism but remove the veneer of Christianity to make it more openly ugly, but some groups are obsessed with “Judeo-Christian” values. Usually that’s just code for white though.

Yeah the same people who talk about judeo-Christian values are usually also the ones who love Sam Harris and Hitchens and Dawkins and are rabidly atheist. They just don’t really have any morality or ethical beliefs beyond being angry and miserable

Even the ones who are actually Christian are acting off the same instincts and just as hypocritical so the difference is basically nil regardless

I'm sorry, a TV channel blurred the knees of Margaret Hoover, because PBS politics shows are too racy?

A couple of years ago I would watch old episodes of Law & Order in syndication on WGN and they would blur out anything they thought was too racy. This lead to a weird situation in one episode where a guy was woken up by the cops and he was in his underwear and they blurred out the crotch. This episode originally aired in the early 90s on NBC, there was no way you could actually see this dude's hog.

It means the parts of the Old Testament Christians aren't supposed to care about but do because it lets them stomp on other people.

I mean, yes. The tone of this post makes it sound as if you're giving them an epic burn but I'm pretty sure alt-right just means a bunch of modern unashamedly fascist and neo-nazi ideologies lumped together.

It's not a burn, it's what they are and calling them "alt-right" is calling them a name that gives political legitimacy instead of letting people know they're just racists.

That seemed ridiculously inefficient for the customers, but it looks like sex dolls of that type cost thousands of dollars/pounds/Euro, so I guess 80€ a time makes sense. Today I learned :smith:

Hopefully most customers only do it once, for the novelty or to see if they like it before buying one of their own. Repeat sex doll customers would be sad.

So, uh, they must have someone on staff whose main job is to clean out and sanitize the doll between customers. I'd like to see that episode of Dirty Jobs.
