Edit: is the idea that you can have mentally willed physical effects on your own body what's offensive? Next time you're hooked up to a heart-rate monitor take a pause and see if you can't decrease your heart-rate just be willing it. Real-time experiment for you.

is the age of consent still 16 over there?!?

Wikipedia posted:

In April 1972, the Society of Friends Social Responsibility Council (a Quaker conference), passed a resolution in favour of lowering the age of consent in Britain from 16 to 14. In July of that year, Dr. John Robinson, Dean of Trinity College, Cambridge, and chair of the UK's Sexual Law Reform Society, defended an age of consent of 14 in a lecture at a Methodist Conference.

In May 1974, the Campaign for Homosexual Equality suggested a basic age of consent of 16, but that could be as low as 12 "in cases where a defendant could prove the existence of meaningful consent". The Sexual Law Reform Society proposed in September of that year lowering the age of consent to 14, with the requirement that below the age of 18 the burden of proof that consent for sexual activities between the parties existed would be the responsibility of the older participant.

The Paedophile Information Exchange was an organisation with around 300 members which used its links inside government and the civil liberties movement to lobby for the decriminalisation of sex with children as young as four years old.

Wikipedia posted:

In March 2014, evidence emerged that the Paedophile Information Exchange had received grants totalling Ł70,000 from the Home Office, after a whistleblower told police he witnessed a successful three-year grant renewal application for Ł35,000 in 1980, implying that a similar grant had been made in 1977.

In June 2015, documents emerged as a result of a BBC freedom of information request that revealed the then Conservative Home Secretary, Leon Brittan, refused to support a bill designed to outlaw PIE because he considered the law on incitement of sexual activities with children to be "not so clear".

On 19 July 2015, Australia's 60 Minutes broadcast an investigation of an alleged paedophile ring, into which abused children were supplied by one of PIE's founders, Peter Righton, who was also a former director of education in the National Institute for Social Work. The alleged network was said to include senior public figures such as Greville Janner and Cyril Smith, alongside a former head of MI6, Peter Hayman.

I had to check Wikipedia and it's still 16 in the UK. Reading the entry, it seems that there have been numerous advocacy groups unhappy that it was ever raised to 16.







Welp, reading that wasn't how I'd planned to start my long weekend but OFC a Wikipedia entry related to sexual activity and minors is going to have too much information.

also the "b7A" redaction code is related to ongoing law enforcement/legal operations, and they use that code or similar for any parts where it gets too specific about what happened on the night of his first suicide attempt.

anyway quotin myself because i want to:

1. OIG and FBI wrap it up and go home after their first day of evidence gathering after Epstein's death. OIG is like "we'll come back tomorrow to pick up the computers as evidence". FBI overhears this and does the shifty eye thing, while talking into their wrist.
2. like five hours later, late at night, there's a knock at the door. "uh. computer guy" "computer guy?" "uhhhh yeah, uh, computer guy"
3. The computer guy SWAPS THE FUCKIN HARD DRIVES ON THE FACILITY'S COMPUTERS for two hours, and then wanders off into the night
4. Next morning OIG comes to grab the computers. Can't wait to check out those untouched hard drives! Gonna get so much useful evidence!
