The same company by the way that recently got hacked by shinyhunters and got massive amounts of customer data exposed :(

I’m not happy though I’m not directly involved as I’m not American (though I am affected of course). But there’s a limit to what you can expect here. The MAGA’s are a cult, protesting won’t touch their hard core and pushing them harder will cause escalation.

The only way these walls will come down is talking, not fighting. And they’re burning up inside now with this Iran war that’s deeply unpopular even with MAGA. Unfortunately they did manage their goal of making everyone forget the word Epstein though 😔

By protesting and being reasonable you chip away at their fringes, the people that are kinda on the fence. Anyway that’s my take.

And like I said, strikes are a good idea too, anything non violent really.

No on the contrary. I was just joking about her former field of acting. I wish it was viewed as more normal. And that she would have make to get a foothold in regular movies 🫶

I didn’t know she did twitch now. I’ve never watched that. I game a lot but I have no patience for watching streams.

Has all of the EU ever been able to organize? France is smaller than California, one US state out of 50.

No, but you can’t compare the EU to the US that way. We’re not EU citizens in our minds. We’re French, Germans, Polish etc. There’s very few cases where we have such a need to protest together. We don’t view ourselves as the EU people (most of us at least). And yes there were protests here today too.

And yeah the French basically invented protesting. Hardly a day goes by that some union isn’t on strike there :) They invented the yellow vests too.

Go on strike yourselves and boycott, you are the experts eh?

If you’re talking about the French then yes I would consider them the experts for sure 🤭

Stop buying US products and stop using the US Dollar for international trade.

This is in fact exactly what is happening here. It’s a slow start but big ships need time to turn. Once they’re turned however the momentum is great. There’s lots of websites with recommendations for EU alternatives, and lots of people and businesses are making plans. It’s a growing movement.

‘actual action’ beyond protest tends to get nasty quickly. I’m glad the left wing isn’t lowering themselves to the level of, say, the capitol attacks.

The just way will take longer but it’s the only way to effect real change.

A strike would be a good middle ground though.

Oh someone once told me it was because some states didn’t issue licenses for strip clubs so this was the best thing they could get away with and it just took off (even without taking it off 🫣). But it was probably a made up story then.

Or when onlyfans wanted to have us pay for ‘engaging family friendly content’ 🤭. Sure the original idea was for regular movie celebs to monetize their fans. But at this point none of those will ever want to be found on onlyfans. Except Sasha Grey maybe 😅. Onlyfans has become a caricature. You don’t pivot away from that. Just like hooters won’t be for the wings or McDonald’s for the salads even if they happen to be really good.

Hmm how do you define kinks then?

I really think oral sex is so normal it’s never really been a kink except in the strictest communities.

I agree kinks don’t have to be ‘new’ to be a kink, but I was referring to the link to porn. While it has existed for longer, it’s only really been accessible to everyone for a century or so.

Yes I’ve been worried about exactly this. I’m sure it’s very much within the realm of possibility these days.

Everything is better than McDonald’s. Their patties don’t even resemble a real hamburger anymore.

Indeed. I tried it once and it was a clammy mess that really needed the tinfoil to hold it all together. I don’t get the hype. It’s better than McDonald’s sure but everything is better than that dry processed gunk.

There’s some really amazing burgers from local places that are actually worth the money and cost less than five guys.

Ps the whole thing with the normal burger being the double was confusing too.

Jeez what a privileged jackass. “My wife still looks at me like I’m stupid”.

This is totally not because he thought they deserved it, just fear.

As I understand it, in Holland they also have a thing called predestination, where they think their lives have already been decided for them including any sins they might commit, and including whether they go to heaven or hell. So there’s nothing really they can do about it during their lives. I don’t know if this is a specific branch. It always sounded pretty grim to me, though on the other hand I would think like “hey let’s go wild because whatever I do it won’t matter anyway”. But I probably grossly misunderstand the idea. Friends from that community have assured me that it definitely does not work that way 😅

Community also plays a big role in it, much bigger than I’ve seen in Catholicism. As in more judgmentally so.

I’m neither but I’ve lived in many places :)

Ah ok I never thought of it that way. That makes sense in a weird way (sorry)

Ps after 20 hours of ass pounding I’d need more than my soul to be saved 😅

Yes I know that oral was not practiced a lot in the past within marriages in particular (though during the war in brothels I’m sure it was). But why do you think it’s particularly kinky?

I agree in terms of deep throating, that’s a bit of a kink and I personally don’t like doing it (even as the one being deep throated). That was popularized by its namesake movie I think.

But normal oral how is that so kinky? I personally love it, it’s a lot more gentle than regular sex. And it tastes so good 🤭 I even love doing that for hours (both ways) and skipping the penetration part altogether. 😋 But oral kinda feels like it’s meant to be done.

It’s not really a modern thing as such either. The kama sutra features a ton of it, including gay and lesbian versions.

Ah yeah I thought the need for fixing up might be lower when it doesn’t need to carry speeding trucks anymore but good point.

They really did do a nice job in NYC though. Though it’s not called the skyway but the high line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Line

That was also an eyesore but they really made it cool.

Of course NYC is probably the richest city in the world so it’s a lot easier to do something like that.

Yes the exact same happened here in Holland 30 years ago when it was legalised. It became a deeply uncool “stoner” thing and none of my friends did it.

Unfortunately the countries around us kept calling hell all those years until it finally became a common thing.

Hmm interesting take! I didn’t think of it like that.

I do indeed enjoy learning and also chaos (and what you call gray areas), but I’m very ADHD. A bit autistic too but when it comes to rules the ADHD definitely takes the lead.

I have no idea what you’re referring to :)
