[Discussion] How do you feel about age verification on Porn sites? (lemmings.world)

Porn sites Pornhub, XVideos, and Stripchat face stricter requirements to verify the ages of their users after being officially designated as “Very Large Online Platforms” (VLOPs) under the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA)....

That would probably actually be a decent age verification scheme

bionicjoey,

The difference is that the only way of truly verifying if you are an adult on the internet is extremely privacy-invading. It’s not like at the liquor store where a clerk can just look at someone and know that they are too young to be there.

bionicjoey,

You might even say that the name of the artist is deliberately buried

bionicjoey,

“Okay, then hand me your phone unlocked and give me as much time as I want to poke around your browser history, files, and photos.”

bionicjoey,

I assumed it was because of how poorly written Season 2 was…

I say this as someone who likes Season 2. Bart, Dirk, Amanda, and Farah are all terribly underutilized in S2

bionicjoey,

Alan Tudyk is awesome in it. And I really like Ken’s arc. I just wish Dirk didn’t spend literally the whole season complaining about how dangerous he is. It’s such a tone shift from the first season.

bionicjoey,

Yeah I was thinking the ghost of the Windows start menu

bionicjoey,

More like interactions would play out thusly:

Them: All X is Y

Me: hmm, it may not be helpful to paint with such a broad brush. Sometimes X isn’t Y. (Gives example)

Them: wow, sounds like something a (insert opposing tribe here) would say.

Basically, this

bionicjoey,

You’re assuming I spend my time defending bad people, which I don’t do. I just use critical thinking and point out logical fallacies. I believe fallacies are always bad, even if they support a position I agree with.

I’ve been called a tanky, neolib, fascist, radfem, misogynist, racist, “woke”, republican, Democrat, religious nutjob, and militant athiest over my time on Reddit and I wouldn’t really agree with any of those descriptors lol. People just assume that if you have an even remotely nuanced opinion on a topic then you must belong to the “other side”. I don’t really care most of the time. I know what I believe and I don’t let it be defined by tribalism.

bionicjoey,

Hey Hey People

bionicjoey,

Well then it’s a good thing I made it

bionicjoey,

Shit, I’ve pirated something because I forgot I had already pirated it.

bionicjoey,

Even the A hole?

bionicjoey,

Did you mean “Fuckin’ A” ?

Bone apple teeth moment

bionicjoey,

I’m a 1995 kid and I think of myself as being right at the tail-end of what can reasonably be called a millenial

What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something...

bionicjoey,

+1 for reviewbrah. His content has only gotten better over the years

bionicjoey,

Those two are both mandatory for me every year.

bionicjoey,

Finally, a playgroup with availability!

To paraphrase Matt Colville, they will rescue a beautiful dragon from a ravening princess.
