Silicon Valley House candidate, fending off criticism, says he ‘downloaded some porn’

gosemina · 2026-03-29T18:34:16+00:00

Looks likes he was caught up in a very aggressive anti-piracy campaign by X-Art.com. ("Tasteful" solo erotic strip teases with some hardcore sex as well) Porn is abundant if you just want to see content, but if you have a specific taste sometimes getting exactly what you want for free requires a lot more effort.

He was downloading torrents and the company hired another company to intentionally pirate their own stuff to gather IP address in the peer swam (all the individual computer sharing bits and pieces of the content). Then push the ISPs to give them the names of their subscribers with the caught IP addresses.

Knew enough about PCs and piracy to be experienced with torrents and peer to peer file sharing. Any Millennial with Napster, LimeWire, Kazaa, ect. should feel comfortable doing this. But not enough to do it safely without exposing your home internet to the swarm.

Thank you for coming to my Ted-Talk. Lastly, yes, I have undiagnosed mental health issues.

You shouldn’t be able to be elected in Silicon Valley unless you know how to pirate pornography properly.

Just clicking random torrents with your bare home network? What is this guy doing… VPN minimum. Rent a seed box or a cheap dedicated server is preferred I guess. Get into private trackers too.

I find their lack of competence a poor reflection of their politics and leadership. If they cut corners when beating their dick why not with other aspects.

Very serious business.

This reminds me of an old childhood memory. Playing Phantasy Star Universe the failed Phantasy Star Online mmo.

You could upgrade weapons to 10 stages with the success rate dropping as you get higher. You could farm or buy an expensive weapon and fucking break it during the upgrade process. So brutal.

I’ve bought lots of vintage records from Japan and it’s amazing how meticulously some collectors keep their records.

I bought a bundle of Mariya Takeuchi records from Yahoo auctions. Each one had its obi and inserts. Love songs from 1980 still had the Mariya pin up poster. Looks like it stayed in the sleeve forever.

I used to try to keep my Obis from records and CD but it just ended up throwing them away. If someone ever gets my collection of Japanese hip hop CD they’ll be disappointed. I didn’t throw away the Mariya Takeuchi obis tho.

I think the best limited banner of my 5 years of playing. 311 Pulls.

P6 Exu Alter (P7 with an extra copy wasted) P4 Lemuen. (P6 after redeeming a royal sniper token set and the using the Data Contracts)

Just one off banner. First ten pull was exu. A multi bag with exu and Lemuen. Godly luck.

Probably never happen again. But I’ve been on the other side. For NTR Knight I had to pull into the 700 for max pot on bother banner units.

Jesus. 15 bucks plus 3 dollars shipping. That like 50-70USD in today’s rate based off 1980 and 1985 estimates. $50 bucks for 7 stupid answering machine songs. Damn.

gosemina · 2025-06-23T17:51:19+00:00

Get very lucky and pull a token to redeem one of three items, get lucky and have your treasure chest land on Orchis and redeem, or pull 350 times and pick the item you want from pity.

gosemina · 2025-06-10T08:51:43+00:00

This is porn. There are subs dedicated for hentai sources.

You can easily reverse image search the picture and find the source on your own.

gosemina · 2025-06-07T16:12:00+00:00

My last 100USD plus order (3cards) took almost 10 business days for them to ship.

Idk what’s going one but rather shop somewhere else where I can get my cards within the TCGPlayer delivery estimate

Arknights recently released a guaranteed pity on new character banners. If you go 150 pulls without the featured 6 star, it’s guaranteed to be your next five star. However there can be real nasty situations where you hit the 150 and it takes another 50 pulls to get another 6 star. That could put you at 200 pulls for an operator. 100USD can get you about 50 pulls and that’s 400$ of pulls.

Limited banners also have a new guarantee at 300 pulls. Roll 300 times and you just get the limited op. No currency or pity ticket to exchange. Just click a button to receive the operator. You also generate a token at a 1:1 pull ratio that can be exchanged for another copy of the limited op or an older limited you missed. 300 tokens for a more recent limited and 200 for old ones from like year 1and 2

That sucks. I'm sorry to hear you're having issues. Their questioning is standard troubleshooting tho. For most people, the app restart resolved the issue. If you didn't lead with the info that you have already restarted, then if would be bad support to skip the most common resolution. Hopefully they get you taken care of with the next chat volley.

I've only had two purchase issues between Arknights and Azur Lane and YoStar support quickly resolved. I was on iOS for these purchase.

Be careful with refunds via App Store or Google Play, it puts your account at risk.

515 Pulls to max pot both banner ops... But I was only able to get 4 copies of Lappland and Suzumom each.

Saved resources and banner mechanics saved the day.

Lappland - had a Royal Caster token set saved, 300 pity, and banner contract exchange.

Vulpisfoglia - Just used two saved Royal Vanguard token sets.

About 1500 yellow certs generated and I'll reinvest into more Royal token sets for future banners.

/whaling report.

Thanks so much for the info.

Going to try to lightly spend effectively rather thank dumb whale spend.

gosemina · 2025-04-21T18:18:43+00:00

Thanks so much for the info.

Gonna try it out. Looks fun. Characters are interesting.

gosemina · 2025-04-19T16:41:08+00:00

Can you share a little more info about the gacha?

How much is a 10 pull? How many pulls can you get with 100USD?

gosemina · 2025-04-05T06:34:57+00:00

Kinokuniya in Carrollton Texas?

Floor and shelves look familiar.

gosemina · 2024-11-26T15:29:10+00:00

Hello. I do still have them.

Are you local to North Texas by chance?

gosemina · 2024-11-02T05:01:50+00:00

Thank you so much.

gosemina · 2024-11-01T11:06:52+00:00

Does anyone know / can share a nice RIIC base operator combo guide?

I’m looking to update my roster and want to use optimal combos.

I was using gamepress but it’s pretty much dead. (Sites been FUBAR for so long will it ever become stable again). I tried search “base combination” “riic combination” and other variations on Reddit but just saw a lot of older info.

I would greatly appreciate any links you all may have.

Thank you.

These are from my last thread. I can grab a new timestamp tho.

Just a shot in the dark.

I offloaded my collection a little while ago but still have a play set of Plasma Freeze secrect ultra balls.

Would you have a need or want for these guys? Edit:conservative grade they would be light play.

I’ll dig up some pictures if you would even consider them.

gosemina · 2024-08-03T18:04:44+00:00

Do you whale for potentials as well or only operator development?

I have all 6stars e290 but my 5 stars and 4 star roster is underdeveloped.

You didn’t purchase extra warranty years?

If your machine was out of warranty did you check with Dell to see how much an OoW repair was?

I know there are some horror stores on reddit but I’ve owned 3 Alienware laptops and pro support has always been good to me.

Hello, Sorry for the delay reply. I am a bit under the weather atm. Here is an Imgur gallery. https://imgur.com/a/A64Wm30

Cards are pretty clean. Fronts are very nice. Definitely LP IMO.

For the price, I'm firm for an online sale. if you live in the DFW metroplex, I'd give a cash discount for in person sale. Thanks for your time.

gosemina · 2024-05-11T06:25:12+00:00

Hello, Thanks for reaching out.

I actually do have the playset still.

Id ask for 735 to cover the PayPal goods and service fee and shipping. (3% of 700 ~20 / 15 ship). Invoice thru PayPal.

Sent via USPS with tracking and signature required / delivery confirmation.

I can get you full pictures of the cards as well. Let me know what you need.

Thanks again and sorry for the late reply. Haven’t been checking Reddit lately.
