Not sure whom I'd prefer to tackle this. After the clusterfuck that was Amazons Wheel of Time, this feels like 9/10 😅

For me that was the first wheel of time book. First ones definitely stay with you. For me the Hobbit seemed lackluster, finished it in one evening and it felt too basic

You continue defining yet more terms to avoid saying another. You do you, but that's not how the world works

Your definition of piracy is not correct

[–] red@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

But it is? Don't lie to yourself. We all do it but it's still piracy, and it's okay.

I guess I'm in the minority, but as someone who grew up with the books and pretty much enjoyed everything apart from Hobbit, I've been thoroughly enjoyng the show. First season was a tad slow to grab me, but after the slow start the episodes have been the highlights of my week.

I have zero issues with using the great lore as source of inspiration and doing new stuff with it.

Hurt in my ass 🤔

Afaik blocking trackers makes your browser stand out more. You can't avoid fingerprinting, so best bet is to hide in the masses - so as close to most common resolution and default settings etc.

It hasn't been debunked? I've read that raping did go down when porn became readily available. If that's not the case, then it's a whole another story.

It's not about making someone want something, less, but helping them to never act on those needs.

Computer generated imagery could in theory be helpful, so the itch gets scratched without creating victims and criminals.

I'd call that a win-win in terms of societal well being, as also less funds are wasted on police work, jailing a perpetrator, and therapy for victim.

In Australia a 30 year old woman cannot be in the porn industry if she has small breasts. That, and the cartoon ban both seem like overcompensating.

Well it wasn't demonstratably false in any case, as it's the only course of action in some places.

In a perfect world these arbitration clauses wouldn't exist, and luckily they aren't enforceable in many countries.
