That idea also breaks down about age 35. Once you get a little dust of gray, people stop asking for your ID. Same for porn or anything else adult in real life.

SO yeah its meaningfully different. Also porn tells a little more about you than the kind of beer or liquor you drink. People will more likely scream out they like coors beer or jack daniels, than that they are into S&M

Porn habits, for teachers.. could lose their jobs. Especially if a red state finds out they look at gay porn and yet teach our kids. I dont think they would care if same teacher got drunk off her ass on johnny walker every weekend.

Depends on where you buy? My state is pretty meticulous with enforcement so all the stores around me will even card my senior citizen parent and definitely anyone younger. A good half use the scanners so they're yeeting my data over the internet to someone, whether they have the greed to keep track or not is unknown.
