This can't be a surprise to anyone though, right?

That still relies on an external website, whereas dig uses just DNS

I think he's fairly credible, but it's obvious he also likes talking and being the center of attention so I suspect will exaggerate for attention. Being Ex-CIA guy is also his business, so he has motive for continuing to appear interesting and relevant. I think it's prudent to remain a little sceptical.

You say that, but outside of Europe, I'm fairly sure much of society is getting less permissive since the 60s.

Personal view from someone who considers themselves pretty liberal: I don't get why people spend money on it.

I have no issue at all with anything someone does to make money, provided it doesn't hurt anyone else. Good for them, wish I was attractive enough to do it. I'd have absolutely no issue with my wife or sister or friend earning money this way.

What I do object to, is low effort. Not just OF/porn, but influencers and streamers more widely. Fake noises, grotesque leering, begging for money - none of it is real, and it doesn't interest me in the slightest. It doesn't appeal to me as a consumer, and I don't understand at all that it does for anyone. Obviously it does work and people do pay money to watch it but I'm genuinely bewildered why. If you want porn, it's everywhere for free. If anyone reading is a viewer, please do try to educate me on what you get out of it!

(Also, I do know there are people who genuinely enjoy performing and put a lot of effort into producing quality, it's not all shite)

True story; I used to employ a chap doing building work. He was straight, married (but open, he slept with several of our female staff), good looking and very fit - and one day he handed me his notice. He said he'd been doing OF and gay porn at the weekends and he was making ten times the money in half a day doing that than he was working five days for me. Good for him, he was able to afford a lifestyle he couldn't otherwise.

Don't forget the Totnes Pound

We like things that are similar to ourselves. Humanity has always sought company in the darkest of nights. Anthropormising things makes them less scary.

They’ll ask ChatGPT something—even something that has a simple, definitive answer that doesn’t really need further explanation—rather than just looking it up on a search engine.

To me, that's a no brainer. Chatgpt will give me the answer I'm looking for much quicker and more efficiently than clicking half a dozen links and wading through a crapload of adverts and SEO weighted nonsense.

I remember some wild story about a guy who was killed by some other guys, and then buried in a cave with a big rock and who came back to life, but nobody saw it, but somehow became two other guys as well.

There was another mad story about the whole world and everything on it being built by magic over six days too, but I think they were joking about that.

The sticker book was kinda cool though, and getting a sticker for every lesson and service I attended. Not completing that before I walked out aged eight, saying "But this is all wrong" is my only regret.

There's like a million threads on this already. If you're genuinely interested you would have looked, but you're clearly karma farming for a brand new account.

Year of linux?

Dude, please. I'm on my third decade of the thing already.

It's only your definition of what common sense is that is convincing you that you're right and everyone else in your country is wrong.

If you're so certain, stop talking and start doing. You think the courts will say "Hang on chaps, this axet person has a point, let's throw away all precedence and case law since our system started"?

ou think this ‘makes the case look stupid’ because it challenges the very language of the system. You want to play by their rules; I’m questioning the source of their rules.

As is your right, but nobody's going to take such an argument seriously.
