I already do. I also want to pay my way.

The problem is what I’d like doesn’t exist (I’m not going to subscribe you a million different websites and still not even be ad free) and probably can’t. How much do all the ads I’m blocking cost? It’d be ripe for abuse but I’d essentially like a taxi meter, but it would charge me for website use from just one central account that I top up or is part of my internet bill or whatever.

I want the whole business model of using ads and tracking to pay for the internet to not exist.

Anyone notice how the thumbnails for each row are essentially the same, even with their order?

Yes I’m also the same way with ads. I’d happily spend more for internet if there was somehow an “ad surcharge” that would mean I’d never see ads or be tracked. Let me pay whatever the advertisers pay.

It’s too big. I couldn’t get a phone the same size as my old one without sacrificing the micro sd slot so I ended up with something bigger than ideal

Where else can you store them while swimming?

Same here. I was able to tap the sliver of a button successfully at least

That box art and the art in the booklet included in the case (and the art behind the discs) for FFVII is so good

Subverting the fact that Sesame Street teaches accurate things?

The individual person is being forced to pay taxes because they were born in a certain region of the world?

I’m actually not seeing what’s weird about it. They are using and benefiting from the infrastructure that is paid for by those taxes, and pooling the resources this way allows the whole community you benefit in ways that can’t be done otherwise. The extension of this is that if you are able to pitch in but don’t then you’re essentially “stealing” from the rest of the population.

I’m not well versed in the subtleties of a libertarian system; in a libertarian community, what’s done with people who try to benefit from what others are doing without pitching in?

So she was a skater boy sk8er boi?

That’s a pretty controversial take. I don’t think anyone would call 5am “night” if they woke up at that time, but just really early morning. Same with 11pm being evening is more to do if weather you’re still awake or not. These are fuzzy definitions that are more about vibes than precisely what the clock says.

Same with the seasons really. There’s the definition you’ve given, and then there’s the one that’s more about the seasonal differences in the region. Winter where I live for example starts in November (probably around Remembrance day if I were to pin it down). It’s silly too wait until the solstice to consider it winter when there’s been over a month of snow on the ground and freezing temps.

Pretty sure they’re just making a Land Before Time reference, not a serious claim (did those species even live during the same time periods in real life?)

I will anecdotally observe anal sex, oral sex, and facials have gone up between partners as prevalence in porn has gone up. That suggests but does not prove a direct statistical harm caused by even "ethically produced CSAM

Can we look at trends between consenting adults (who are likely watching porn of real people by the way) as an indicator of what pedophiles will do? I’m not so sure. It’s not like step sibling sex is suddenly through the roof now with it being the “trend” in porn.

Looking specifically at fake rape porn maybe and seeing if it increases rates of rape in the real world might be a better indicator.

Where I am it’s 24 hrs without permission, but with permission there’s no minimum. So if they knock on your door and say “hey, mind if I come in and grab something from the shed?” and you say “sure” then that’s fine. With 24 hrs notice though you legally can’t prevent access

It’s apparently an audible “pop” which is kinda crazy.
