that is a tactic they do on purpose to get protesters to cross the police line. anyone who crosses will subsequently get beat up.

echoes of those people saying they want big titty goth girlfriends but they really just want girls with black hair instead of girls who will your drink blood, taxidermy animal corpses, and philosophize about mortality.

"AI people should be given full rights and citizenship. By the way we trained them to all to vote Republican."

seems dumb of them to advertise for something they can't actually do. presumably it's also a waste of their time to onboard a new customer.

*nerd hat on*
iirc octocrylene is a US sunscreen filter. a lot of korean cosmetics have been getting manufactured in the US lately, though ironically that ruins the reason people bought the korean-made brands, which is that they have ingredients that the FDA hasn't approved.

the scarjo pic looks like either AI or heavily photoshopped imo

I'm not talking about boys and women im taking about mens sports and genetic advantages. Intersex doesnt mean androgynous--there could be codominant genes in an XXY karyotype resulting in unforeseen benefits!! But you'll never know unless you test the men! Scientific rigor is important 🫡

CHOO @choo135.bsky.social · Aug 1

People dont want intersex in sports

CHOO @choo135.bsky.social · Aug 1

Yes! We should see how often intersex people show up in men's sports. It isn't scientifically rigorous if you don't!

CHOO @choo135.bsky.social · Aug 1

how would you know they're not dominating if you dont test them? Men haven't been routinely tested for sex chromosomes or sex-related genes 😀 Nobody's been lobbing accusations to prompt it. They should for scientific accuracy!

CHOO @choo135.bsky.social · Aug 1

you cant know what advantages or disadvantages there are unless you actually test for them! Otherwise you're just making assumptions, which is unscientific! ☺️ Test male athletes too!!

CHOO @choo135.bsky.social · Aug 1

actually, the X chromosome codes for things like height, eyesight, cardiovascular traits, and a range of other things. a male XXY athlete could have a genetic advantage over XY athletes since they're less susceptible to the X-linked disorders normally only held by men.

What different pressures would apply to a general platform but not an adult site? So far it's just been payment processors systematically targeting any store with adult content, regardless of what other things are sold, and the message is "can't use us to sell adult content."

CHOO @choo135.bsky.social · Jul 23

that's why I said signing the petition would make it higher on their priority list.

CHOO @choo135.bsky.social · Jul 23

It's the same issue. Payment processors have been going after online sales of adult material of any kind for years. The Steam Purge is just one of many instances of this happening. If a regulation helps porn sites it would also help Steam games, because Steam's library includes porn.

CHOO @choo135.bsky.social · Jul 23

It has a carveout for "risk" based declines, which is what porn falls under due to higher usage of stolen cards to purchase.

It's like when republicans ban gender affirming surgery but they make exceptions for intersex babies...

CHOO @choo135.bsky.social · Jul 23

Well, the host of the petition is the ACLU, which is basically an org that tries to enact/support legal action. So it would possibly bump this higher on their priority list if the petitions reached their goal.

CHOO @choo135.bsky.social · Jul 23

this bill has a carve-out for risk-based standards, and porn is considered high-risk. So it doesn't really help. It's also heavily backed by republicans so it's more for easier gun sales and sfuff.

CHOO @choo135.bsky.social · Jul 16

there is a petition against this that still needs signatures: action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.

Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

a lot of queer books are likely to be caught up in other bans/regs against "obscene content" as per age verification laws and payment processors restricting transactions. So, storefronts like itch are only good until they get targeted too.

CHOO @choo135.bsky.social · Jul 6

this is like if you got this boomer to map out what the kids might be listening to these days

CHOO @choo135.bsky.social · Jul 2

the medicaid cuts are written to take effect in 2029. the actual suspicion is they fully expect a democrat to be in office next term. that's their actual "4D chess" game and they did it before with raising income taxes. that's why dems are routinely in office at the start of economic crises

CHOO @choo135.bsky.social · Jul 1

This is due to payment processors like mastercard and visa! They've been putting pressure on every NSFW platform to ban specific kinks (and eventually porn itself). There's a petition related to this from the ACLU!

CHOO @choo135.bsky.social · Jul 1

Good a time as any to remind people the ACLU has a petition to end this kind of thing, which ultimately stems from payment processors trying to regulate adult content. Please sign the petition!
