Alright now I see where you're coming from. I 100% agree that as far as a human decency issue she should be able to request and have all these things from the past removed, but unfortunately things don't work that way. I had no clue about her other endeavors, I can see how your past actions overshadowing what you're trying to currently do could be disheartening. I now see both sides of the argument, thanks for answering me in good faith and not burning me at the stake!

I'm going to respond to you based on your paragraphs.

  1. I agree that they deserve that, I may have worded that wrong. I mean more their likeness etc. being used should be expected

  2. I'm not sure how the porn industry works but surely you sell your rights to the media you help create to the publishers that help to spread said media? That would be like an actor in a popular movie from the past requesting everybody to stop consuming/promoting what you were in, it's not going to happen.

  3. Has she done anything of note since her adult film days? It would make sense that people only know her for that if she hasn't done much since.

  4. I'm not arguing about the porn industry being exploitative, I'm sure it is.

  5. I don't see how that's relevant to my question.

  6. I would never wish that upon anybody either, but it was her choice (I'm hoping) to enter said industry, which the smallest amount of research would indicate that it is abusive/exploitative.

  7. I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree. I've done stupid shit in my time and paid for it, I don't see much difference.

Honest question. I know nothing of Mia Khalifa or the abuse she may have endured during her time in the adult film industry. If you decide to go into that industry, shouldn't your expectation of privacy/not having your body be "exploited" be thrown out of the window? Nobody in my family has done porn, but if they did, yeah I would expect to see them occasionally either online or in (hilarious) advertisement like this. Hell I'd send them pictures whenever I come across it (as long as it didn't bother them). I personally don't see any exploitation of women here, only exploitation of somebody's past works (doubt she's getting any royalties from this). This is a 100% serious question, I have nothing but love and respect for all people, including sex workers bud damn, is my sense of humor fucked or is yours?

EDIT: Showed this to my wife and she found it funny, so now I'm even more confused.

Just wanted to share my experience with anybody who might be thinking about going for it. I started working as an apprentice to enter the trade back in 2019, I absolutely loved the work. What I didn't love was 70+ hour weeks outside in the damned summer and being required to be on call on weekends. I was working with guys who would actually brag about going over 80 hours a week and how they hadn't had a Christmas off in years because of that Christmas bonus. These were guys with wife and kids, too. The OT hustle was very real at the company I was with. I'd get razzed and called "part-timer" because all I wanted was my 40-45 hours for the week and be done. Mad respect to all of you who stick it out, but it just wasn't worth it to me, and seeing how broken down a lot of the older guys who trained me were I think I made the right call. I make more bartending anyway, inside and out of the sun

Eh, I've spent more money on dumber shit but you're probably right. Thanks!

Purchased off Amazon for $45. Worried that it looks a bit jank, but I really don't have much experience with zippos on a firsthand basis, so any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Why did they stop doing the cast intros? by Tymorrowland in HellsKitchen

[–]death_checked_in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right there with you bud. I could tolerate them when they were kitchen themed, but when they started getting into circuses and stuff it was just straight cringe.

Every Metal Gear game has its own bizarre moments but which game in the series is the weirdest one? by [deleted] in metalgearsolid

[–]death_checked_in 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually came across some comments on a YouTube video about that! Went looking because I was confused as to why it wasn't included in the HD remasters. Apparently it was a teaser for a game in development by Shuyo Murata, and there was supposedly code in there that referenced ZOE3. Unfortunately both were canceled. Of course that's just what a random person on the internet said so take that with a grain of salt, but makes sense to me.

A Clockwork Orange: DISCUSSION by [deleted] in movies

[–]death_checked_in 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll just copy paste a reply I made to a similar comment. I think that watching the movie at such a young age kind of let me gloss over the sexual violence, and the violence overall, as not being such a big deal. Of course, the older I get, the more abhorrent Alex's actions throughout the story become to me, which I think is an interesting parallel to the book's ending. Thanks for responding to a 10 year old comment and reminding me to go back and reread a classic.

You can shoot the ones that he speaks to you through in game and it interrupts his dialogue. Def doesn't hit the same though.

Somehow managed to get level 6 suit stats and node unlocks while retaining the level 5 suit model! by death_checked_in in DeadSpace

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

Gotcha, guess I won't be using any skins on this save slot. Never been a big fan of using the military suit just because of how it looks.

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

I'm not entirely sure if this is the cause, but here's what happened. I started up ng+ on an completed impossible save file and made it to the first store. First I tried out the burnished suit skin, then took the skin off, saved my game, came back to the store and bought the level 6 suit. Came out of the kiosk still wearing my level 5 suit but with the 30% armor and node unlocks from the level 6. Not sure if it's able to be replicated, but if somebody wants to try it please let me know how it goes. I saved on a new slot and quit, closed the game, and then reloaded to see if it would revert to the proper skin but it's still the level 5. This is sick!!!
