  • Yes. They want “small government” when the law affects them, but “law and order” when it punishes someone else who annoys them.

    It’s childishness we’ve come to be accustomed to, thanks to lead-brained 70-year-olds who are falling into legit cognitive decline… but still have the numbers to be a formidable opponent at the polls on election day.

    Also, their dicks don’t work anymore without a blue pill, so they may as well take away the consensual naked fun of Gen X, Millennial, and Gen Z (18+) people right?


  • What’s worse: Reputable sites that comply with U.S. laws (such as participants being 18+ and filming of their own free will) are effectively forced out, while questionable site carry on.

    The likelyhood of seeing abuse victims or underage in Texas goes up, not down.

    If they truly cared about protecting minors, they’d see the flaw in their law and rectify it. Of course, we all know (not through cynicism but cold repeated behavior) that political conservatives do not care about minors and care far more about punishing consenting adults.

    This law is a step toward the latter.


  • I don’t mind Spotify increasing.

    Inflation is real. And nobody wants to see the service turn into a Little Caesars “$5 Hot N Ready” pizza that erodes in quality, rather than gradually price increase with inflation.

    The advantage we have with music streamers is that nearly ALL the content is on ALL the services. So, if one service goes bananas with pricing, we can jump ship to a cheaper one.

    But TV is siloed into mini monopolies. The only source of capitalism competition they face is use choosing to do without. And frankly, if I’m gonna be forced-fed ads, I choose to do it on YouTube which costs me $0 and not $7.99 a month.

    Netflix is gone. And as someone who leaves The Simpsons running 24/7 on Disney+, I’m frankly getting thiiiiiiiiiis close to dumping their asses, too!
