My question is what defines pornography? Will museums have to cloak statues of naked people? Remove a renaissance era painting because of boobs? How about a movie that has tasteful nudity? Or just ads for Victoria Secret?

I wished to be a young man surrounded by cheap pussy. Now I’m ten and have thirty stray cats.

I have once warmed my balls.

It matters to sponsors. Big companies pay money to have their name slapped on everything, and then huge amount of marketing to ensure the max audience size means many more eyes in the sponsors crap. The NFL makes a killing on these sponsored events, so they will drive up the engagement wherever they are. And since sports matter to many Americans, this needs to REALLY SUPER matter.

I agree, who cares about teams picking players except for the players?

I am asking this more out of curiosity than criticism, but how would you deal with someone who is emotionally unavailable, shows signs of childhood abuse, but treats you pretty fairly?

I didn’t even think they got the humor right. Watching episodes without the laugh track shoes the jokes are just a group of bullies being bullies to each other.

I had the same issue with Red Hat 6.1 on a cheap PC. One of the reasons I love using Arch is it gives me the nostral of those days.

It’s kind of a mixed bag question. But the big question is why is there such a huge emphasis on monsters in the first place? There are a ton of monsters in all editions of d&d, so why aren’t there monsters discussed in Tolkien by the characters like this? There were a few, and either a large creature from the depths of hell that only struck one place, a giant spider who was content to be in her home and not be bothered by Hobbits, and an army of orc/goblin hybrids. In a d&d game, we are supposed to be attacked by several monsters, all different types, at any given time.

My Linux journey was pre XP, I was still in 98Se edition and my Linux disk didn’t have a working GUI on it.

I will put my pan on the stovetop at the highest level and use that to dry. Then I’ll wipe a couple of layers of oil with a good paper towel. Usually does the trick if I wash it within an hour or so after cooking. But if it goes in the oven, it is upside down. No oil will pool that way.

People who chew with their mouth open. Looks and sounds disgusting.

As a guy, best I can say is educate him on what women go through. Make sure he knew what is going on, so he doesn’t look like an idiot with a woman. And so he isn’t like me and learn about how periods actually work when he’s almost thirty because he doesn’t get a joke in a movie.

What he needs to learn at this age isn’t what he will do through, school will do that for him. He needs to know what others will go through. Religious thinking kept most of female anatomy out of the public schools I went to.

Dude, need some details and dot files.

I can’t stand when people are violently opposed to words because they sound bad somewhere else. Like “moist”. If you think I’m being lewd when talking about how much I liked the stupid cake, that’s on you and your perverted mind.

I Thoroughly enjoyed The Dispossessed by Ursle leGuin. Just enough world building to destroy it all in the narrative.

There are a few subreddits that don’t have a counterpart on lemmy, or the counterpart isn’t as active yet. But when I go on Reddit, I’m spammed with posts I’m not subscribed to, nor really have a want to be subscribed to. As more communities become more active on lemmy, the less I will need Reddit.

I forgot, nothing is ever done for the consumer.

Back when many of these laws were created, car manufacturers were way worse than franchise dealerships for the consumer.

There is the wonder why hold value on office space ersus the smaller companies that are bought and dropped with no sentimental value. The big difference there is that purchasing out a company doesn’t usually come with a years-long agreement to keep it in place, use the products, etc. Office space has that. A years-long agreement to use the space and pay for the use. And to drop the use before the agreement is done costs more than it’s worth. And it’s even worse for a company that owns property. It costs money to keep the office space usable, money that comes from leases. If someone is going to back out of a lease, the owner of a building now has to pull from other sources of money to upkeep a building.

I know developers have spent years building and growing office buildings and regions to put said office buildings, and now a massive push to work remotely makes all that effort not just for nothing, but a very costly nothing. And then there is the secondary economy around office buildings. Many stores and restaurants spring up where there are plenty of people working. If there are no people, no reason for those businesses. I used to work in a downtown area with plenty of restaurants that I would eat at. Now that I don’t work there, I don’t eat at those restaurants anymore.

The push and call for remote work is going to change literal landscapes in cities and industrial regions in ways we cannot predict, or prevent.
