I fell into this trap myself. Basically not understanding the intricacies of things, my thoughts on change worked great for me, but screwed a lot of other people in the process because I didn't understand it completely. A knee jerk reaction is just that. After I spoke to others about 'change', I saw how my ideas would affect them and began to see the bigger picture.

 

Now if I'm interested in 'change', it's best to get all the facts (as many as I can) before proceeding and remembering to discuss the change and all it's effects I can grasp, hoping to refine the idea if possible so it's the best it can be, and not just a selfish want.

 

The 'ME' generation is great, till they need something from 'YOU'.

I get that sort of. Except there is there is no 'ME' generation unless it counts for people between the ages of 0 to 200 which is pretty much all of them. What I am saying is that older folk often have many expectations from newer folk and older people often use this as a crutch to avoid doing things by "leaving it to the next generation". It goes with the old saying "If you want something done right do it yourself."

 

But no you guys are right. Why worry about pollution, global warming, racism, sexism, police brutality, disease, world hunger, war, crime, medicine, medical expenses, ageism, etc? We'll just leave it to the next generation.

Getting tested for Beer Bug for the second time in the same month cause someone at the animal shelter I volunteer on the weekends had to go to San Antonio and get wasted in apparently more ways than one, with people in San Antonio literally telling her "do not come here, it's bad".

Did she, at least, get wasted at the River Walk??

Since she came back fucked up AND fucked up I'm assuming she got wasted IN the river walk.

The point is that our city council fears that rioters will come to Laredo and start burning buildings, so they want to be a bit pro-active and remove them to ensure that doesn't happen.

Yeah, let's just get rid of everything that might offend someone or set them off. Won't be much culture left when we're done, lol. Beginning to wonder why I care about living another two decades or not.

One of the other reasons why older folks leave things up to younger folks whose minds that they had a hand in shaping by raising them is that the process is constant, labor intensive and messy, something which the average old codger simple is too 'low energy' to handle. 

 

An example of this (and one very much appropriate to this site)is the legalization of pornography back in the 20th century. Almost as soon as the diverse array of First Amendment proponents of the mid-century won their decisive legal battles to decriminalize ye olde erotica, the likes of Andrea Dworkin and Cynthia MacKinnon cooked up the forerunners to Patriarchy theory to explain how Pornography was part of a plan by male supremacists to possess women despite the fact that, in the real world, patriarchal religious societies are always extremely sex negative and required Feminine Modesty by law (on pain of death). Sex positive Feminists of the time smacked all of that nonsense down, not that they really needed to since the memory of wide spread societal sex negativity was still too fresh for them to get away with it at the time.

America got off lucky comparatively speaking. Iran, Cuba, Russia, China and, as of the 21st Century, Libya, ended up much worse off due to hasty efforts to rebuild their nations after tearing them down in a hurry.

 

Societal 'progress' is never linear and, despite what overly optimistic types might say, the arc of History tends towards Tyranny more often than not. The work of maintaining a society is a lot more difficult and lot less fun than tearing things down and trying to hold things up isn't work for weary Arthritic backs.

TRASH PORN pisses me off...the kind of broads I can meet at a laundromat are now 'porn stars' because the LA ghetto-ass Dog Fart Leroys hijacked the CA porn industry with their early 2000's rapper-dope-money-laundering-bullshit AND the goddamned Russian mob Ivans in Florida with their shaved-and-infected bikini lines sluts with their 'show me your guts' Eastern European anal whores.  Not to mention the 'your father must be proud' Fans Only cam sluts and the Bad Dragon dildos flipping these bitch's assholes inside-out.  Modern porn is a fucking horror show.

You might just have to refine your searches a bit better.

I know that one does not have to put in so much effort to find half-way decent gay porn (yeah, yeah, I get that some people will think that there is no such thing but that is where we'll have to disagree)but searching some of the things that one gets by default there might be worth looking around for such as 'Fit/fitness', 'toned', 'Unblemished/Clear Skin' and so on.

When porn was only available through the cost of FILM production, it really wasn't a thing any amateur could engage in. Advance to the digital age and this is what we get.

 

On another note: Everyone is looking at what gets the most traffic and copies it - most times unsuccessfully. A good example for me was the fall of INSEX back in the day. Many 'interns' looked for work elsewhere and with Peter Acworth's KINK.com becoming the best option, these veteran employees helped that site become the juggernaut is is now, while many were used up and tossed aside. I look at this site now as the McDonalds of bondage porn. It's both a complement and a rebuttal worthy of the reference.

 

>>>>>Pissing me off recently is the ongoing meddling through online practices by game developers - instead of offering options, they're shoved down our throats. Example: returning to Red Dead Redemption after several months completing it, I was greeted with an error message; WTF? It ran fine before - I have/had no issues - yet they have to tell me I have a HARDWARE conflict, and then reference a SOFTWARE upgrade - which isn't NEEDED to run the game! I just click okay and it closes and the game loads as if this never happened. <insert derogatory lambaste here>

 

I'm sure most every person whom has had mods broken by similar practices will agree - enough is fuckin enough already.

 

Black lives matter, and so does player choice!

When did this shit start with porn stars giving lame blowjobs? Seems like all of 'em just open their mouths as wide as they can and slobber all over the place like some stupid cow. Girls 20 yrs ago could give great blowjobs and not even smear their lipstick.

I know you use this term loosely. I used to enjoy Japanese porn for things like long, unedited takes, allowing the scenes to unfold. Compare this to a lot of 'western' porn where it seems like an Olympic event to see how many positions they can squeeze into a 10 minute video.... For this reason alone I've begun to appreciate amateur videos, even though the actors can be less than spectacular.

[Kendo 2]

@FauxFurry @landess

I just want to see some nudes without the 'fans wanna see' horse shit of BBC and some slut's ass-gaping goddamned guts.  And they can keep the gagging/spitting/trash-talk nastiness to themselves as well.  When I watch modern porn I'm not thinking about "Wow, that's hot."  I see the modern performers and I think "You're human trash."  There are exceptions but they're rare these days.  Art house hengre and classic Suze Randall are practically dead.

Every day this week except Monday but including last weekend's Sunday and Saturday has broken a record for new covid19 cases.

Oh boy~! I can't wait to not go back to work anytime soon.

[TheOzoneHole]

I'm job hunting, so believe me MMR, I feel you.

 

And I'll second Kendo's comments with regard to PornHub in particular.  Even 2-3 years ago I could go on there and find some good stuff that looked professional (or just was a flat out rip and reupload of something professionally made), but now it is nothing but "amateur" porn made in someone's house and that seems to be pretty much a second job or even primary job for most of them. Yeah I'll maybe watch some of your stuff but hell no I'm not paying you $5 to download a low quality video of your boyfriend trying to act like a stud and power bomb your ass.

Right because 50 to 80 somethings shouting down their opponents in a political rap battle meanwhile keeping up with their twitter feed is testament to arthritic backs. Then again if bad backs makes people idiots then maybe they shouldn't try to change the world. Calling out older people is not me being mean(Although being mean kind of is my shtick) but to say that leaving it to the kids is not the easy way out. Can't say much about other countries. I remember hearing from a scholarly source that China is an economic superpower that seems to be quickly growing back to their prime but that is hard economics that I really don't want to research for the sake of this thread.

 

So I leave you a choice. Either old people should get involved in the betterment society or old people should not get involved for the betterment of society. It really is that simple. If you're saying it is complicated then maybe I'll visit you in your bedroom and say 'hey it will be alright. We'll work it out'... I really gotta stop sneaking into other peoples' bedrooms.

There is more than one way to better society, including training and equipping younger people to take a more active role in reshaping society responsibly in much the same way as there is more than one role in a military. Older people can play a role higher up the chain of command rather than being frontline troops.

That is called a school.

Been watching a lot of videos that are "reviews" of previously written articles.  What I do not understand is that these articles take any and all even remotely possible sexualization and censor it, even when it's a completely unrelated word.  It's to the point where I just have to shrug and ignore it, but it's mind-boggling to witness.

The absolute and complete disconnect between the subject matter (prostitution in this case) and the grade school level of required censorship is what makes zero sense.  On one side, you're talking about a subject that only adults and (hopefully) mature people would be discussing and yet you turn around and censor the most basic low grade level "words" just because they happen to be in the middle of other words?  What?

Examples:

class = cl*ss

entity = ent*ty

 

sex = s*x

 

prostitute = prost*tute

Louis CK did a bit about 'the N word' a few years ago.  The premise was, "You're not saying it!  You're making ME say it in my head!"  That's what your post reminded me of; I'm still seeing 'class' and 'entity' even if they leave out a few letters.  It's pointless.

Indeed it is pointless. Your brain (most at least) automatically add the needed letters when this done to give you the entire word. Same if you swap two letters or so in the middle of the word. People still read the word. The brain normally corrects such errors.

 

the only thing I can think of is this is done to prevent the computerized recognition of such words. ... Perhaps?

That is what has been referred to for some time as the Scunthorpe Problem. Here is a article from a few years back about this subject which has gone largely unaddressed thus far.

Interesting.  Wasn't aware of this, but it seems right along the same lines.

[AKM]

The legal system in the U.S. works as follows:

The State: We say you did this.

Individual: But I didn't do that.

The State: Your options are:

1. Pay The State what The State wants (in funds or time) because you're guilty and you know it.

2. Argue your case, paying all kinds of fees in the process.  Maybe win, but still be on the hook for a ridiculous amount of money from the fees.
3. Pay The State what The State wants because you realize that, even though you're innocent, it will cost you more than it's worth to prove your innocence.

4. Plea deal.  "Well, I won't admit to what you say I did (accuse me of), but I will admit to something lesser (something I haven't been accused of)."  The State will still gets at least a half pound of flesh, but I won't be considered innocent anymore, either, having lied (purgery?) in the process by admitted to something I didn't do.  It's a can't-lose situation for them, and a guaranteed-lose situation for me; it's simply a matter of degree.

I don't have the answers, but I know one thing with absolute certainty: The system is broken.  Either that or it's working exactly as it was designed to.  I lean heavily toward the latter statement.  The only question in my mind is when it's going to catch up with them, though from the looks of things lately, that might be exactly what's happening, not sure.

Maybe not, but what I'm seeing on Pornhub these days, at least to me, sure fits what Kendo said (in terms of who is making it, maybe not so much with what they're doing) and is pretty much all trash. =p
