    The fact that eighteen is not a “magic number” that sanctifies all attraction to a person, should be a fact so obvious that it should not need to be said. And so I did not say it. Don’t you think people can just read the number “19” and figure out for themselves what is and isn’t appropriate? Some of us happen to be in our late teens and early 20s ourselves.

    Conscription age in the USSR varied between 19, to 17, to 18 at different points. It was set to 18 during the war. Is what I read on Wikipedia.

        It took me a moment to realize that HB stood for “Hexbear” and not “Hasbro” lol

        But yeah that does seem to be a bit of a trend. Perhaps our life situations tend to put many of us in a bit of a qu’est-ce que c’est mood, so to speak, that has a tendency to boil over at inopportune moments…
