Yes, thank you. Let’s go with that. Brave.

Brown sugar and raw sugar are different things.

That too but the article is more focused on how before the US would threaten countries with unreasonable tariffs if they didn’t comply and let US tech giants rule. Well…Trump already levied unreasonable tariffs, so if they are already hit with tarrifs, why not just created their.own versions of the solutions? Why not ban X and Grok?

Obviously Cory takes an optimistic view of what could be done. The way I look at it is that more and more countries will take a Chinese approach to tech and go for a total control over what we can do online and visibility (no privacy) into everything.

Run XP on a VM? Zunes were great.

It is? That’s interesting. I’ve always thought of the terms gay and lesbian. Not once have I thought of lesbian porn as straight porn.

…to expand on my stance, queer porn is most notably trans women with big dicks and equally large breasts, and there isn’t as much representation for other body types, let alone trans men.

That is really not true. I think you need better sources of porn.

EDIT: If you want porn with loving queer couples (or more), I recommend Lustery. It is all shot by the creators themselves, then purchase and edited by Lustery. Oddly, it can also be a great source of travel logs as some creators document their travels and finish off the episode with sex. I like those and often watch the travel bit and skip the sex.

With this approach I can agree. I just don’t see military action as a viable approach when it can be far more effective against governments in South America. The US has a LONG history of fucking with South America. I doubt they’ll change that course now.

I worry about Cuba.

One of two ways. With Trump dead of “natural causes” and/or Democrats sweeping the mid-terms and putting the breaks in this madness or with short term absolute chaos that brings about a world I cannot imagine.

Split fronts? Worked out great for Hitler.

Nope. This is a Boomer bomb shelter. Gen-X never did any of that. We just watched nuclear apocalypse movies on TV and hoped we would not survive the initial blast.

This is all based on small bits of data but I’d expect them to take something in the Caribbean or South America first. Over the past months the US has moved into an deactivated naval base in Puerto Rico. Roosevelt Roads is base and land they had already given back to the island years ago, but they just walked right in and took it again without asking. The armament moved in there is vast, including squadrons of F-35s and bombers. Why? Cuba?

No matter what, I think Greenland is a distraction while they make moves and preparations for an attack elsewhere.

What I think we should expect from this administration is an ever expanding and aggressive move towards control of the Americas. Yes, that includes Greenland but it also seems.like too much of a.pain in the ass. Everything south of thw border is going to take precedent. Or, we could invade Canada next week. Who the fuck knows with these terrorists.

The Greenland thing is 100% bullshit IMHO.

Ooof! You are absolutely right. Hopefully they use dedicated e-mail and contact information for their business.

Who the hell uses their real name and e-mail to open accounts in sites like PornHub?

EDIT: I enjoy porn and so does my wife. Neither one of us is shy about it, but neither of us would use our real info to open an account. Who the hell wants infinite floods of adult product email spam?

The classic example is Texas and the gerrymandering of Austin (seriously, look at that map, it’s disgusting and it’s going ti be worse now). Republicans have done such a good job that out of 23.2 million eligible voters, less than half even bother to vote (11 in 2024).

That’s an oversimplification of what has been an ongoing campaign to perform a slow coup and brainwash a significant part of the population. It is also untrue. Setting the propaganda aside (which has been progressing since the 1980s), the Republicans have been worming and cheating through local politics in order to create a situation where, even when they and their policies are deeply unpopular, and fail to garner popular support, they still win elections.

Decades… fuck that, an entire lifetime of work to foster a strong transatlantic relationship has been undone by white nationalist christo-fascists and their demantia riddled geriatric figurehead. Disgusting.
