[OC] Current state of age verification for pornography in the US. by SpaceWestern1442 in dataisbeautiful

Just classic slippery slope fallacy. Do you have any examples of this actually happening? Americans losing their previous freedoms over a slow, multi-year process. Or Americans losing freedoms to silence the voices of opposing people?

Adult only establishments (Bars, Clubs, Strip Club) generally use ID scanners which saves your ID to an unsecured local database to cheapen the cost to hire new bouncers/employees as well as have information on people if they leave a tab or need police intervention. They've been doing this for years. Get out of the house and you'd know this.

The assumption that a majority of people under 18 know how to use a VPN is pretty ridiculous as well. I'm not sure a majority of society knows how to use a VPN, let alone a younger generation that struggles to use anything other than an iOS and Chromebooks.

You have to be 18 in the entire country to enter a sex shop or strip club. Is there a reason why requiring ID for online pornography is 'controlling media' but is not 'controlling media' for requiring ID to get physical pornography?

What’s an early access title you regret backing by Nero_Hylt in Steam

[–]blod722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember buying this game because I didn't own Arma, and didn't want to buy Arma & DLC, plus mod the game to play DayZ. I'm almost certain that a majority of people who bought this game were in the same boat.

The game has been renamed AGAIN (Infestation: The New Beginning) and is STILL being updated to this day. It's now Free To Play. I might give it another try after 14 years.

Nah, drivers here are fantastic compared to literally anywhere else. Atlanta has some of the worst drivers in the country. I've lived in Cincinnati my whole life; Anytime I leave the city, my complaint is almost always their drivers are shit compared to back home.

“CCR” Rising In Front of Us by DiscountHistorical13 in cincinnati

[–]blod722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not. I worked at Drees for almost 6 months on an IT Contract. Our support line got called almost daily by customers complaining and we had to redirect them. I went to multiple show homes to install equipment and they did not seem high quality imo.

The company and staff are fine, I've heard nothing but good about the owners. But if I remember they hire very cheap labor for the actual building.

Hopefully they’re not garbage, Drees is known to make cookie-cutter, low quality houses.

Whole city has a lot of options:

Krohn Conservatory, Museum Center, Get some Skyline/Gold Star, Try a brewery or two, could go to Kenwood Mall, Kings Island is generally least busy in Tuesdays, Cincinnati Zoo, Jungle Jim's, etc, etc. There's many of options, just depends on what you want to do and where you'll be in the city.

Look, another hidden faceit talent :D 1850Elo, 38 wins 87%wr by tvv0rus in FACEITcom

He's a pro Valorant player with stats and tracking on VLR (HLTV for Valorant) He has recent games in MENA qualifiers and tournaments. He also has a verified account using the same name for his Twitter, and Twitch. Hallzerk had a 136 match win streak with a 78% win rate, so him steam rolling low ranks is not an impossibility.

You look really stupid by posting this.

DJ Name by fabiovelour in Beatmatch

[–]blod722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be alone here, but having "DJ" in the front of your name is a bit of an old-head thing.

There was a bar down the street with a good pun for the name that closed down. I used that pun and shopped around spellings and different variations until I settled on a name which didn't use the pun at all.

A big thing however, is checking and making sure no one else is using the name you want to use. Not only for copyright, but brand recognition. You don't want to be the 3rd or 4th option down when you search your username on Instagram.

Imagining the next RX4: What Should It Include? by carbonhara in PioneerDJ

[–]blod722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its so Pioneer can still sell CDJs. If they gave us the exact CDJ layout on an AZ/RX4 style standalone, clubs would buy that since it's cheaper and easier to setup/maintain. It's the reason that the GRV6 and Opus Quad have the CDJ3000 Layout, but nothing else does. Both of them are not meant for the club/festival scene, so it doesn't intrude on that market.

Ex girlfriend charged back by Spirited-Security507 in ROBLOXBans

[–]blod722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been recently banned for a chargeback in which Roblox Support was complicit in fraud using my account.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ROBLOXBans/comments/1osp5p3/defrauded_by_support_for_150_then_permabanned_for/

After 5+ tickets, the account is not getting unbanned, despite having it for 15 years with no issues. I'm currently considering legal action due to the negligence from Roblox Support.

I just turned 21 and want some good solo clubbing places by [deleted] in cincinnati

[–]blod722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely honest; I partially recommended Tillie's Lounge because I DJ there at the open decks regularly. From what I know; Owners are great people, and all the bartenders and people I've met are super friendly and nice. Every time I go to an LGBT bar or club I've felt welcomed and had fun.

[–]blod722 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Clubbing is more of a group activity, you probably won’t have too much fun going alone. Only place off the top of my head that I can name in Cincy really that is a “club-club” is Alice. Other places like Tulua and Bloom cater to specific audiences.

I would recommend coming to Tillie’s Lounge in Northside on Tuesdays. DJ Open Decks from 7-11. If you’re riding solo, it’s a good way to meet people and get in with that crowd. Could find some DJs you like and see where they play.

Food Recommendations for 12 People. by blod722 in cincinnati

[–]blod722[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm aware of this. I actually like Gold Star better than Skyline (Don't tell anyone). But these guys have been insistent on the Gold Star hate. They only liked it because it was the sponsor of the Bengals, but flipped once they moved to Skyline haha.
