for me it’s the whole “don’t tread on me” and gun culture rhetoric. Americans seem to be “don’t push me” but when they actually get pushed they’re all “uWu please more daddy” it’s odd.

But AEW and WWE are entertaining…there’s nothing really entertaining in current politics or media.

if you ever take a glance at the IWC on twitter (Internet Wrestling Community - yes I do watch pro wrestling) you’ll find that most still think it’s real.

They also educate and inform people. That’s a problem for the GOP. They don’t want the American people, ESPECIALLY low income people, to have access to free education and information that PBS and NPR provides. They need to ensure the population is stupid thus easier to control.

So America they’ve taken your medicade, they’ve taken the ability of a good portion of your country to be able to eat, they’re taking immigrants, tourists, or people that they don’t agree with to camps, they’re taking your education, they’re taxing you with tariffs, they have a gestapo, and they’ll be taking away more rights from Women and POC. I have to ask…how much longer until you start to get a little bit violent?

It was pretty wild. I wish I still had the list of visa/MC “no-nos”

I mean honestly the US government was more lax. all they wanted was us to ensure we were following the 2257 stuff and documenting all the talent.

surprisingly though American Express was a lot more “liberal” with this stuff. guess those dudes were just kinkier.

exactly. he doesn’t need them anymore.

QuteBrowser. You control it completely. you can add scripts you want, remove stuff you don’t want. I have mine tied in with my bitwarden account so easy password management. I have a script that skips all youtube ads and has never been detected by google because technically I’m “watching the ads” it just immediately skips them. it’s tied in with greasemonkey so it makes adding customs scripts for whatever site I use a breeze. It has vim style navigation so it’s super quick to move around and don’t need to use a mouse.

I love it, I’ll never use a different browser again. Plus the dev for it is really cool and very helpful.

yup they did this a LONG time ago with porn sites and DVD sales. I used to work in that industry as a web developer in the early 00s. Third party billers specifically set up for the porn industry thrived because of this.

there were many silly rules like you said, no fisting, at most two fingers in the asshole, Incest was “OK” as long as it was “step-” whatever BUT you could get away with it if you laid the ground work initially and say “step-mom” or whatever and then later on just say “mom”. Step-Dad was…hit or miss if you could get away with it. Scat was a no go BUT piss was ok IF it was from Europe, sorry US folks, you’re not allowed to piss on each other and film it in the good ol United States according to Visa and Mastercard. Finally some stuff like gang bangs or “abuse” porn was fine AS LONG as the girl at the end of the video has a mini interview claiming what a great time she had while covered in jizz. Visa and Mastercard needed to ensure this lady enjoyed herself.

fucking really dumb rules and I would have LOVED to be a fly in the room when Visa and Mastercard lawyers came up with these things.

one of the best products Microsoft ever produced. I absolutely LOVED my old Lumia. great phone, the OS was perfect, just an awesome all around phone. wish I still had it.

as someone who participates in the Arch forums/IRC etc…it’s been “woke and gay” for a long, long, time now. I mean shit if you don’t have your own pair of knee/thigh high socks are you even a real Arch user?

OR, and hear me out on this one, you could TAX THE RICH.

Does this cheese eating surrender monkey want the French to riot? because this is how you get the French to riot.

If they ask and I have it, sure. People will say “I don’t want my money going towards drugs and alcohol” to which I say “who cares?” once you hand it over it’s not yours anymore, let them do with it what they want. Their lives are already shit as is so what do I care if my $2 coin is going to go buy them a beer…oh no a single beer, they’ll get wasted!

Others will say “but you’re just encouraging it” my guy I live in a city of millions not everyone is handing out twonies to homeless people, it’s not going to cause a massive increase in drug use or alcoholism.

Invidious instance I use that has never caused me problems: https://invidious.f5.si/feed/popular

as far as libreddit…yeah it can be hit or miss. safereddit.com is generally pretty decent and hasn’t gone down too much, only issue I have with that is videos are very slow to play if at all.

Hey FBI thanks for letting me know about nsw2u cc I had no idea this thing existed…but now I do, so thank you.

seriously though I use the megathread and it has quite literally everything. literally the only good thing to come from reddit.

thank you! yeah I was using peertube.tv and thinking “this can’t be it” other than that I tried Dalek Zone and got frustrated with finding anything on that. This is much better thanks.

Nicotine+/soulseek

it’s all I use now.

I must be doing something wrong or using a shit instance cause I can’t find one at all but everytime I go to peertube (and I"m not searching just locally) I see like 3 videos get posted a day, most of which are videos about Lies of P or car videos. LIke there’s no content.

so…what am I doing wrong?

well this is just silly advice. that’s like saying “Don’t use Chrome, use Vivaldi” it’s all chromium thus it will also disable uBlock.

Get off ALL chromium based browsers. I loved Vivaldi but I haven’t used it in well over a year. Switch to FF or a Fork of it like Floorp OR if you’re like me and don’t like Mozilla use QuteBrowser and never have to worry about anything ever again.

I’ve been using Astro with Sanity for a bit now and I dig it. easy to setup and build.

yeah, I’ve read these stories countless times and the outcome has always been the same. In all honesty I think they do more harm than good. It gets it into the morons heads “oh, he’s going to win, I can stay home”.
