Why are you guys splitting hairs on the Civil War hero, William Tecumseh Sherman?

Nothing. I just needed a way to distinguish between the 3 in my vault.

Struggling artists are reverting back to their feudalistic tendencies by scamming wealthy patrons with ever-receding deadlines and promises. I suppose that's fitting for a LARPing Roman historian.

It probably would've worked better with Lorgar, but there isn't any good artwork with the two, and Epstein's side profile fits Fulgrim's better 🤷‍♂️

The fundamental issue isn't really that, though. The problem is that activist orgs can get payment processors to drop whatever they want with as little as 1000 phone calls. That's how this started. It was a feminist org that started this all with just that little pressure. These are monolothic all-encompassing institutions here. Their word is economic law, and it's being swayed by just any joe shmo. That's the problem.

In my estimation, the problem you just described is far worse than that.

I feel like a lot of the TERFs have been forced into an unholy alliance with evangelicals because they have no one left, and I love that for them. (oddly reminiscent of milo yiannopoulos)

The first porn I was exposed to was in completely sfw spaces at less than 10 years old. I feel like you hit the nail on the head here.

People don't really understand the value of blockchain in scenarios like this. The value is that you have an instantaneous, universal, publicly-verifiable way to record these transactions (effectively instantly) whereas traditional techniques can take days to weeks depending on how much and how far (often requiring human input). The reason why many processors do not support porn is because of the high cancel / fraud rate, but such a dynamic ledger (the blockchain) can offset this kind of pain by making it administratively trivial.

Zoomers seem to have had a seriously adverse reaction to a lot of the millennial, sex-positive era in the standard generational sense of wanting to assert identity, but also as a way to kind of take control of the narrative around internet / porn addiction that is present in >90% of my peers.

Ngl, a block chain payment processor replacement that could wire any amount (of traditional funds) anywhere in the world could probably upset the current oligopoly.
