"Anything can be addictive" is the second most shallow and dangerous take on addiction, just behind telling addicts to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. It's a take that betrays zero interest in exploring the causes and treatments for addiction

"It provides dopamine and therefore can be addictive"

Ok we really need to get one thing straight. An addiction based on a chemical dependency is not the same as an addiction based on behavior, habit, and lifestyle.

Look, I know I have a vested interest in people not thinking porn addiction is real but I gotta tell you: porn addiction isn't real.

- Suggest other, more positive legislation, such as curbing paypro censorship: stop-paypros.neocities.org
- Protest physically if they continue to push these bad bills.

This is a Marathon. It may seem daunting or taxing, but together? We can #savespeech and stop the Puritain Regime in its tracks.

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

What can you do to #savespeech?

- Call your MEPs. Every time they introduce any UKOSA law or Digital ID/ID AV law, tell them "NO" loudly and often: www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/home
- Continue #fightchatcontrol and follow them for updates: fightchatcontrol.eu

Hey EU Citizens.

Between #savespeech and #fightchatcontrol, the current EU wants to STILL push to "protect the kids" in their own invasive way.

For as long as it lasts, they will keep pushing till they get what they want: control of you

Chat control's vote has been shelved for now, but the EU is still very intent on driving through this kind of legislation in the future if they can

If youre an EU resident, you need to contact your MPs and MEPs regularly and demand this be OPPOSED

Celtic Frost. “Circle of the Tyrants.” 1985. If there’s a family tree of metal bands, CF are one of the strongest roots, or branches [Sabbath is the Earth, Iommi is god] because no matter how many times you hear this, you’re reminded each time of the impact it had on generations to come.

We all knew it was never about the porn. But if your normie bros wanna keep torrenting their marble and star worms they're gonna have to actually take the gooners seriously for once.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

"Arkansas is trying to save one of the most extreme book censorship laws in recent memory, one that would allow jailing librarians and booksellers for keeping materials on their shelves that fall under the statute’s broad definition of “harmful to minors.”

Arkansas wants to jail librarians. The First Amendment won’t allow it.

Arkansas’s Act 372 would let the state jail librarians for “harmful” books. The First Amendment won’t let censorship win.

In the late 90s/early 00s Bravo I think used to have IFC saturday nights where late at night they'd play some artsy or indie or foreign flick, all huge crowdpleasers. Movies I first saw that way:
- City Of Lost Children
- Run Lola Run
- Rushmore
- The Royal Tennenbaums
- I think *IRMA VEP*?

Something I love that was especially precious pre-widespread internet adoption is moments where you got into some kind of important books/ movies/ music/ art in general that was otherwise unavailable from you. Like a friend who made you That One Mixtape, your random video rental one time, etc
