2023 LC Thread - It was predetermined that I would change the thread title (Part 1)

“troubled” could mean “would I take the trouble to meet them” or “would meeting them trouble me.”

Don’t bother clarifying though. They’re both dead.

She looks great, don’t get me wrong, but I know a fair measure of 50 year old women in similar shape. Not just actresses.

In LA, sure.

South Carolina 50 is like dog years

The thing with the anti porn laws is that it takes a little bit of liberals getting on board. Like underage exposure to the amount of pornography seems bad so even proported pro sex liberals might be like, “we need to tamp down on this a bit” and age verification seems like a way to do that. Porn’s not banned, and kids don’t see that much porn

but… like abortion trap laws it’s banning through administrative red tape. It’s clear in the article and especially clear from the legislators’ actions that if no one steps up to do age verification and then by default porn is baned then oops what they were aiming for all along.

The age-verification law, which passed unanimously, inspired Pornhub to block any Utah-based ISP from the site; anyone who tried to visit saw a sex-free video from adult performer Cherie Deville urging them to contact their legislators. Weiler laughed about how many VPNs he must have sold, which allow residents to bypass the restrictions by hiding their location.

The trade-off — some ridicule from liberals, but no Pornhub access — was just fine by Utah’s Republicans.

“I fully support Pornhub’s decision to remove their content in Utah,” Gov. Spencer Cox said in a statement.

The new state laws would make it harder for minors to access pornography than at any time since life went online — if they’re upheld.

Both laws were criticized as possible First Amendment violations on the way to passage; in Louisiana, Democratic Sen. Jay Luneau warned the law’s sponsor, Rep. Laurie Schlegel, that the state might spend “hundreds of thousands of dollars” on lawyers before it was struck down.

Schlegel, a licensed sex addiction therapist, told Semafor that she studied precedent before writing the bill, and made sure the technology made it workable. “The precedent says that government has a compelling interest to protect children, and we’ve neglected that for the last couple of decades,” she told Semafor.

Also as conservatives don’t have to pretend the Supreme Court is some kind of court of philosopher kings this kind of Hamiton “You don’t have the votes” brashness comes out from Conservative activists

“I count noses at the Supreme Court, and there are at least six votes there to uphold this kind of law,” Bull told Semafor. “They’re looking for the right case to basically eliminate immunity that online providers have enjoyed, through a misreading of Section 230.”

Dumbass doesn’t know the difference between blocked and removed. Doesn’t matter because nothing matters anymore. The lunatics are running the asylum.

Wtf. Someone doing a Mr. Mercedes in Texas

So good

One of my favourite little wins in life is when you skip through the ads on your podcast and get it exactly spot on the intro music.

This is close to The Way, but I just jump ahead somewhere very safely away from the intro ads, and if I skip too much intro stuff, so be it, I will infer it, come back to it later, or leave it a mystery.

It’s the same thing every time these guys take over. The immediately fire anyone who shows any resistance, cut as much as possible, and become 10x more secretive than they imagined the institution was before them
