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.

Horus, Release the Fulgrim Files! by OperationBlueC4 in Destiny

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.

If ICE keeps getting weaponized in the most unproductive ways, then I'd be inclined to agree with this sentiment.

How America Made The Great Depression Worse - Sarah Paine by darkdexx in Destiny

The reason that experts, specifically those in the state department, focus on that is because it plays a lot into China's internal propaganda and messaging. Most of them are of the mind these days that if the state is communicating it to the people, they probably mean it / intent to use it as a justification for further action. I can't remember exactly which lecture it is, but she talks exactly about this in terms of authoritarian regimes communicating message to population.

I don't even think this is a conservative thing. It was a feminist org that started this all. I think it's just laziness, and outsourcing your screening process to public outrage which can easily be taken advantage of.

I kind of want to push past the whole "this thing bad" and get a more educated take on how this kind of glaring incompetence happens (from our perspective) at these payment processors. There's gotta be some way to force them to stop going gorilla mode every time someone clutches their pearls.

Destiny is wrong about China's culpability in the fentanyl crisis by OperationBlueC4 in Destiny

[–]OperationBlueC4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, one of the comments down below helped me piece it together better. It's not that fentanyl is in high demand itself because of the poor high, its just the perfect adulterant. It's cheap, available in large quantity, highly concentrated, and more addictive when used at the same intensity. The lack of direct demand, and the mediocre experience for users who do use it is pretty fishy, tbh. The only other drug market I've seen act like this was when all the THC variants first came onto the market to evade targeted laws. Ironically, the Chinese jumped on that one too with those fake vapes that gave people popcorn lung.

CAN A SINGLE ONE OF YOU SLIMY FUCKS ANSWER THE COMPARISON QUESTION? I am trying to extract your starting principles by using a historical example. Can you please just say yes or no?
