As much as I believe in free speech and minimum government, the amount of people who think that 'adults having convenient unimpeded access to porn anywhere at any time regardless of who it impacts' is some kind of sacred right makes me want to double down on banning it altogether
That's a bizarre angle to argue it from when there's the obvious issue of the insane surveillance and policing that would need to be installed to actually effectively monitor and police access to all adult content (because it would be all if not so much of it to realistically be described as all, as a realistic porn ban wouldn't just be on what we colloquially recognize as porn because the law has its own modus operandi) on the side of the state would not only be massive but be unrealistic and more easily facilitate the cracking down on a lot more shit.
All of this for something that just... won't work. Even in pre-existing surveillance states where porn is de facto criminalized like China bypasses have become so commonplace that it's become one of those things that everyone knows but no one talks about.
The best answer is to simply have parents actually, y'know, parent and not let their kids have unrestricted internet access. It's not foolproof of course, nothing is, but it's the best answer so far.
Certainly far better than "hey let's just nuke all 'adult' (meaning whatever we want it to mean) content online and force anyone who wants to access it to register their real age and ID" when one of the biggest recurring issues in the modern world is privacy and data breaches.

The next day, at a hastily thrown together birthday party at the Forger residence:
Just saw there's going to be a Toy Story 5
I think they should keep pushing the nightmare logic of this universe to its most horrifying conclusions. I'm thinking hundreds of years post-apocalypse, all the toys so sun-bleached as to be featureless, cloth and fabric long since rotted away, plastic finally deteriorating. Buzz could carry Woody's head through the endless deserts as the two meditate on what could only really be described as their long damnation and the prospect of it finally coming to an end. Over the course of the adventure Woody succumbs to the decomposition of his organic materials and then under the credits give us a time lapse of Buzz's plastic breaking down over the centuries (millennia?) it would take for every last component to return to the barren earth
Stop reblogging this and saying it’s a good idea
it's called one william dollars because it's. bills:)
Kinda in love with the idea that different places on other sides of the world can look so similar. Something something universal human experiences
Like. Kyrgyzstan and Switzerland?
Miami and the Gold Coast (in Aus)
New Zealand and Oregon
The great plains and the Russian steppe
India and fiji
Gonna consolidate a couple additions/recommendations from others
Napa Valley, California and Tuscany, Italy
Appalachians in America and the Grampians in Australia
Black sand beach in Iceland and New Zealand
Aurora borealis and australis
Congo and Amazon rainforest/river
desert roads in Australia, South Africa, Argentina, and Mexico
Mountains in France and Korea
I can't find the words to say
And, someone asked to Grok, then
From the media that brought you "Millennials are killing [insert industry here]" articles for years and years and years, now we have....
"Hey, Gen Z, we're gonna relabel vacations into something else now and tell you how you really should be wary of taking vacation because it might impact your financial future."
This is a goddamn dystopia, we know this, right?

yeah i think that just about sums up today. turns out the power of uh. music and ocs makes hand pain and inability to hold a pen just. disappear???? what
the secret to organising any kind of trip with your friends is to become the benevolent dictator. do NOT wait for everyone to provide a consensus on things before you book anything. do it and then ask for feedback after. do not ask people what they would like to do just tell them what is happening and let them all nod along like the sheep they are. this is the ONLY way to coordinate a group of adults in their 20s/30s
Toyota Corollas Are Literally Your 'Ride or Dies'
Siffrin, the Idea vs. Siffrin, the Person
Everyone knows Siffrin is cool as fuck. But who knows what he's thinking? Who knows why they crush Sadnesses? And why do we think about him as fondly as we think of the mythical (nonexistent?) Forgotten Island? Perchance.
I believe it was Kant who said "Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play." Siffrin exhibits experience by crushing Despairs all day, but he exhibits theory by stating "Back to the stage, Siffrin." Keep it up, baby!
When Siffrin leaves his place of safety to stomp a Sad, he knows that he may Die. And yet, for a guy who can loop back indefinitely, a life becomes a mere store of value. A tax that can be paid for, much as a rich man feels any law with a fine is a price. We think of Siffrin as a hero, but he is simply a two percenter of a more privileged variety. The lifekind. Perchance.
Failing Grade
Its come to my attention that a lot of people do not know how to deal with a hot car in summer. A lot of people will get back to their car, after hours of it being parked in the full sun, and will open the door to be blasted in the face with furnace-level temperatures, and you'll just clamber in and shut the doors and leave the windows closed and you'll start driving that thing, and you'll wait for the air-conditioning to battle and overcome the heat.
Thats. Insane to me.
The inside of a car can get up to 40°C/104°F hotter than the outside temperature. Why would anyone get inside that????? It's gonna take your air-conditioning at least half an hour to combat that and bring the temperature down to something even remotely reasonable, and in the meantime you're sitting there risking heatstroke.
Now, I understand that it's currently winter in the northern hemisphere, which is where most of this site lives, but a) I'm in the southern hemisphere and today was Lots Of Degrees, and b) y'all should read this now and commit it to memory or queue it to reblog in summer or whatever, because it boggles my mind that some of you get into a car whose interior is literally oven-hot.
So!!!! Some tips!!!!!
Get a sun visor. One of the big ones that goes inside your windshield. You will not believe how much cooler those things keep your car. Get one, use it. Leave it to bounce around in your back-seat on cooler days, but have it on hand for the stinkers. They range in price but two-dollar stores usually have them for pretty cheap.
Leave the windows of your car cracked open. It doesn't have to be much. Literally just the tiniest amount will mean that the heat building inside your car has a way to escape, meaning the interior temp will naturally be kept lower. The larger the opening, the better, but depending on the neighbourhood you're parking in, maybe it would be better to have them open just a sliver. Even the tiniest crack will help. Ever tried warming up an oven with the door open? It doesn't work well. This is the same concept. If there is a way for the hot air to escape, the inside of your car will stay a lot cooler than it otherwise would have.
If you're fancy enough to have an openable sunroof (that's the dream) then leave that open a bit as well.
Youve just gotten back to your car and opened the door, and its hot as fuck in there. Open another door, ideally on the other side of the car, and let the hot air escape. If you can open all four doors and the boot, then thats even better. A bunch of the hot air will flush out. Not all!!! But a lot. Give it anywhere from a few moments to a few minutes, depending on how much of a hurry you're in.
Get in, start the car, open all the windows. Yes, even if you hate having the windows open.
Put the air-conditioning on full blast, and make sure the recycle is turned OFF. This means it pulls fresh air from outside the car (hot, but less hot than inside) and pumps that into the car, further displacing the heat inside the vehicle.
Start driving, still with the windows down. Once you get up enough speed, the force of the air from outside coming in will blast the rest of the excess heat out of the car.
The temp inside the car will now be roughly equivalent to the temp outside the car. Still hot!!!! But MAJORLY less so, and majority more handle-able by your air-conditioner.
Put all your windows up, and switch the air-con over to recycle. This means it takes the air in the car and cools it, then spits it back into the car, meaning that with each cycle, the air gets progressively cooler a lot faster.
If you do this, your car will be a hell of a lot more comfortable a hell of a lot sooner than it would be if you got into a 60°C/140°F cabin and just.... endured that, until your aircon could overcome it.
This post has been brought to you by an Australian who knows not one but TWO people who get into 60°C cars and wait 15 to 30 minutes for their car to drop back down to a temperature that's even REMOTELY tolerable.
"i don't have time for this," i say, distressed, as i plot out frames for yet another comic, and not even trying to hold back the immense urge to add a little animation in the middle of it, all while a guillotine of code and data analysis looms over my neck
i feel like we as a digital society have forgotten the important rules of the internet
