Which is something I've been saying for a while. Porn is overrated as a negative to society compared to social media, gaming and streaming. Casual media is much more likely to hold you back in life by a huge magnitude. It's just that complaining that you are addicted to gaming and that governments should ban it is going to be met with "L + skill issue". Most anti-porn bros think that porn is inherently shameful. It has more to do with cultural attitudes, largely rooted in religion, than anything else. There's also some misogynistic rage over promiscuous women and how girls can easily make a lot of money of sex mixed in there towards the more incelly aspect of anti-porn. The whole thing is a big nothing burger. It's just losers projecting their victim mentality.

The best way to prevent your store from being looted is to be a bookstore.

Some men drown while others die of thirst.

Holy AI. It takes personal leadership to be effective at anything. Rosa parks was a prolific activist, no doubt. She just gets overcredited for propaganda purposes. Extensive political machinations worked to end segregation. BTW, Martin Luther King was also a hand picked plant specifically for his profile 😉

This is about creating change. Not being a plant. Rosa Parks happened to be useful to an already existing movement. They would've picked someone else if she wasn't available.

It would be genuinely funny though if people got mad that you where calling scientists goblins.

@Leo Gura Certain words and euphemisms essentially mean the same but have different emotional impact. Like goblin can be used the same way as rat but isn't as storied a term. Or smooth brain instead of idiot.

Rosa Park is more of a mascot than a real leader. She was an activist hand picked to represent the lawsuits against segregation because she was more sympathetic as a "poor seamstress" (as opposed to a "dangerous man"). Her whole story was staged for political ends. The pictures taken of her on the bus where taken after she was first arrested as part of their propaganda campaign. Real political machinations orchestrated Rosa Parks. It's just probability. I'm not saying anything crazy. Prove me wrong, by all means.

It's not a belief as much as an observation. None of you here are going to be world leaders realistically. Don't misunderstand me. The lot here is more ambitious than most but your not THAT ambitious most likely, where you will noticeably change the world. And that's fine.

It's too denigrating to be funny I think. Do you actually think they're vermin/filth? That's how it could be perceived.

Nope. Most people are ordinary.

Wine, cigarette and baguette stores have all been looted.

Leo is much more chill now. I remember 🐀 being his favorite slur.

The only way to effectively ban porn is to harshly clamp down on your digital freedoms I think. Then people would revert back to trading mags and hard drives. You have to be N. Korean levels of authoritarian to really beat out porn use. The effort is not worth the squeeze.
