Remember this when you see scare headlines about the high rate of minors seeing “porn” online: They’re either not seeing it on porn sites or what they’re seeing isn’t actually porn.
It turns out minors not necessarily know what “porn” even is.

Fond memories of that time Mike Johnson was president of a local law school that never opened its doors, in part because it was attached to a Baptist college that was losing its accreditation, and in part because it was always a scam from the start
Mike Johnson -- who is, yes, theoretically a lawyer -- has not had a chance to look at the American Constitution because he's been very busy lately, folks, he just can't see everything, gosh, how is he supposed to know if it's wrong that the president called for the execution of congress members?
Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Democrats to be executed: "Attorneys have to parse the language and determine all that."

kinda tired of civilians telling sex workers to just “cheer up, you will find another platform to go to!” whenever a sex work site is on some bullshit. where do you expect us to go when all of these sites keep banning more and more content and caving to big bank/payment processors?

I was about to make a whole thread about debanking but ultimately I don't have the energy to deal with the fall out
So I'll just do TLDR
If you don't know how to move after losing your bank access, ask sex workers. They've been delaing with it for decades
