The comment you replied to was dripping so hard with sarcasm that it didn't need a warning sign, kinda like when there is a house on fire, you don't need a warning sign that a house is a blaze.
Honestly, Ive come to think that there is truly no such thing as sarcasm so blatant as for everyone to get that it is sarcasm without being told.
I forget the name, but this is a proven and observable phenomenon.
Ablaze, even.
dripping so hard with sarcasm
No it's not, lots of Christians is of that exact opinion.
But since you apparently think it's fine to not to use /s because sarcasm is "obvious", I'll just go ahead and assume you were probably being sarcastic.
kinda like when there is a house on fire
Yes yes, now I see how it's EXACTLY like that. Oh no that must definitely have been sarcasm, because it's not at all like that. 🤣🤣🤣
I went to a church with a friend and more than one guy started talking to me about their porn addiction… it was bizarre
I don’t understand. They wanted my advice and all I could say was just don’t watch it if it bothers them.
But it's an ADDICTION, they can't help themselves!! They wanted to be told if they pray, then surely Jesus will forgive them.
The party of personal responsibility folks. Unable to filter their own devices or to guide their kids, pass the burden onto a 3rd party.
VPN companies are now very happy.
XVideos also.
Perhaps the easiest way to evade state age verification laws is by using a VPN to mask a user's location.
Proof no one looks past the 3rd search result.
Proof no one looks past the 3rd search result.
Do you mean third page? Or do people really only do simple searches?
I think they're saying that if you look past the first 3 results, then you may find something that isn't blocked.
Well shit, I set my VPN to Texas, xnxx and xvideos outrank pornhub if you search porn. Looks like you got to go to the 3rd result to be blocked.
That makes sense.
Further research reveals that pornhub is now the 3rd result to 2 unblocked sites. Google solved the problem.
At this point just let the kids into the porn sites. Like for gods sake I'm so fucking tired of this.
I wonder what percentage of the people involved in passing these laws have investments in the big porn companies that were threatened by PornHub.
Nah, I'd put more money on they invested in VPN companies, or at the very least, the age verification companies.
Like Rick Scott in Florida trying to (or maybe did) force welfare recipients into drug testing through companies his wife owned - https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/17/us/rick-scott-conflicts-blind-trust.html
Given porn hub's parent company owns pretty much all traditional porn companies, not that many.
At first I thought "yeah but there are other sites out there." But then it occurred to me that most of people this will affect probably don't know that. And it only escalates with the age of people too.
XVideos will love this.
