Tbh I agree with them on that, bans don’t work.
But also I say the same to them regarding the ones they do want. Just because they’re hypocrites doesn’t mean I have to be!
Ban bans lol.
- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 4 days ago:
I’m willing to bet that, since that happened right as onlyfans took off, most of the amateurs were already looking to onlyfans as a way to monetize their hobby. Surely “no amateur content” on pornhub likely pushed them more to it but I think it was really inevitable with all that, and the affordability of decent camera equipment I’m sure helped.
That said, I’m fairly certain that you can still have “amateur” content on PH you just need to verify it as you somehow, and then there’s always xhamster, erome, and m*****less (iykyk, and if not, leave it that way) and a myriad of other sketchy as fuck sites that don’t care the source of their videos.
- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 4 days ago:
As you’ve accurately identified, they can’t. Best they have is say “nooo you can’t” and hope sites comply out of pure fear. Even if they could, VPN.
They also completely bungled prohibition, drug prohibition, and the states with restrictive gun laws are bungling that. And women from the anti abortion states can still get out of state abortions.
Bans don’t actually work, especially when there’s already an abundance and the banned thing in question is easy to produce.

I know of such a man. Makes a convincing argument too, that I’ll be wholly unable to properly articulate, but my dumbed down understanding is that (in addition to other things) the “feathers” could be decomposed collagenous fibers from the skin of dinosaurs rather than true feathers, and we’re not actually sure even though feathers are the pushed theory. And he also doesn’t believe in flight evolving ground up, but rather trees down, basically not from creatures jumping away from predators but from them gliding away to another tree. His theory being that one actually works well to get you away from predators while the other would be less likely to be successful and more likely to get eaten before passing on the genes. Also something about the Yi qi.
Idk if he’s right, but tbf idk if the other people are either, who knows.

And they do also use bean bag guns sometimes, but typically when they’re using the taser or bean bags they’ll still have lethal cover.

I do, but idk how that effects that problem since I stopped using it due to that problem. Also, ironically, removing sms support killed a big selling point, and the fact that phone numbers are still required is pretty lame.

Yes, but this is where threat modeling comes into play.
Right,:
If you need nation-state level secrecy, rule #1 is don’t associate with idiots who can’t be bothered with at least the most basic opsec. I shouldn’t talk to this motherfucker at all were that my case, or at least not digitally. Thankfully at worst we talk about me middlemanning him some weed, and even local PD dgaf.
Though btw speaking of:
Can the size or metadata
Plenty of people have been drone striked (struck?) simply because the metadata said they were talking to the wrong guy. Frankly if you need that high of a level of secrecy, you’d be better served using tails/tor, or hell even snail mail with false return addr and a book cipher. But for:
all ISPs, WiFi networks, CDNs, VPNs, script skiddies with Wireshark, and network admins in the path
Then frankly either signal or jabber+encryption (or for that matter, simplex, briar, yadda yadda) should be fine.
Signal also benefits from the network effect, because someone trying to get away from an abusive SO has plausible deniability if they download Signal on their phone (“all my friends are on Signal” or “the doctor said it’s more secure than email”)
But then again, it’s more likely to be known as an encrypted chat which may be a problem for them, while the abusive SO might just think XMPP is some outdated IM they know what signal is, and “my friends” can use jabber just the same as signal.
Alas, this is an issue with all messaging apps, if people delete the app without closing their account
Except not. XMPP not being tied to a phone number, if my buddy Steve deletes Conversations, while I may not be able to message him on jabber I can fall back on text. However (and again maybe now this is fixed), on signal if he deletes the app, I can no longer signal message him, nor can I SMS him because they get lost in limbo as signal messages, I’d have to email or use XMPP to get him to redownload signal, delete it properly, and THEN I can SMS him again. (Maybe no longer now that “no sms,” but also “no sms now but still give us your phone number” don’t sit right with me.)

Tbf, can’t the other party mess it up with signal too? I have a friend with a Samsung running stock samsung android, bloatware and all; how can I trust there’s no google or samsung keylogger, which I’m pretty sure at least one of those companies installs? With copilot existing now, how can I be sure that, when that makes it’s way to stock android, it won’t capture the signal convo? The man uses windows, how can I be sure he won’t surrender our chats to current copilot?
If you need nation-state level secrecy, rule #1 is don’t associate with idiots who can’t be bothered with at least the most basic opsec. I shouldn’t talk to this motherfucker at all were that my case, or at least not digitally. Thankfully at worst we talk about me middlemanning him some weed, and even local PD dgaf.
My main issue for signal is (mostly iPhone users) download it “just for protests” (ffs) and then delete it, but don’t relinquish their acct, so when I text them using signal it dies in limbo as they either deleted the app or never check it and don’t allow notifs. Now maybe somehow with the removal of SMS maybe that is fixed, but also removing SMS took my biggest selling point to “normals,” so, fuck me.

And that’s just supposed to make me ignore this ridiculous nonsense?
To the point about D&D rulebooks, do you not know you’re buying a pack of Magic cards? No, you just don’t know what’s in the pack. If you already knew exactly what was in the D&D rulebook, why would you need to buy the book?
No. I replied to it. Maybe don’t argue the point and continue being wrong while you’re “conceding” then if you expect me to take it seriously. Keep that smug shit to yourself especially when you’re this off base, smugness is for the correct.
Listen pal,
Not your pal, guy.
I already told you that wasn’t my intention,
“But then I doubled down.”
but the existence of the game around Magic means there’s a literal difference between that and all the other examples, for fuck’s sake.
It doesn’t make people who collect Magic cards any better. It just means their collection has a practical use in addition to display.
Makes it sound like you’re saying those who play rather than simply collect are indeed better, “magic collecters who don’t play are just as bad as those buying labubus” type shit. Your “dickhead” routine isn’t helping that. Just saying, that’s probably why you got those five downvotes you’re crying about, if I had to guess. I mean, you did ask I’m just trying to help.
Sure, I’ll believe it wasn’t your intention and you’re just a natural asshole, fine. That better sweetie?
- Comment on ‘My buyer’s guilt is insane. It’s $1,300 on trash’: the adults addicted to blind box toys like Labubus 4 weeks ago:
So then all books are now mystery boxes, and so are movies, tv shows, music, etc? Unless you’ve memorized every word? That’s not ridiculous at all lol.
No, to fit your analogy you’d need to buy “DnD Book” sight unseen, and then open a wrapper find out if it’s the PH, DMG, Tasha’s, whatever. “Aww man player’s handbook again? Why can’t I get the Monster Manual?!”
But yes it does kind of seem like you’re putting down those who collect “useless” things and your distinction of collecting to display vs collecting to play a game is tenuous at best. It’s like saying that collecting guitars is better than magic because at least you can gain a real skill instead of playing with sweaty dudes in the card shop every Friday, like, sure but also guitar is no more worthy a pursuit than magic which is no more worthy a pursuit than collecting action figures or [insert any “useless” item that brings someone joy.] Sometimes people like things that you don’t, it just be like that.
- Comment on ‘My buyer’s guilt is insane. It’s $1,300 on trash’: the adults addicted to blind box toys like Labubus 4 weeks ago:
The similarity is the mystery box nature of them, not what’s intended to be done with them.
Are D&D rulebooks mysteries when you buy them, or do you know it’s the player’s handbook before purchase?
And btw you’re not better than other collectors simply because you play a little game with your collection, you’re the same as any philatelist.

But the firmware that can do this:

B) Still has to read a signal from the fob, you’d have to do that before your OG broke.
C) Costs like $2000, is serial locked to two flippers, and is being sold sketchily by a guy recently released from prison who has no accountability not to scam you.
