So it all has to do with the extremist movement to censor online content. The argument is that ‘anybody’ can access Adult content, even though most of the situations there are verification, filters based on age, parental controls, etc. Since these groups weren’t gaining traction on the platforms (i.e. Steam) these groups started harassing the payment processors themselves. Because the processors don’t want to be held legally liable, they threaten to pull the ability to process payments through those channels (aka no more Mastercard / Visa unless you give in to our demands). So this is all or at least largely in part due to the monopoly that these payment processors have on the market. Obviously if your business is strictly online and the majority of your money comes from transactions from Mastercard and Visa, you’re going to do what they say lest you risk losing the majority of your business. As a side note there has been some progress made in Europe to break up that duopoly. I don’t know a lot so do your own look up but there are other payment processing options. If you can, do your part and support those companies!

I hope this royally pisses off the shitty duopoly and we actually get a proper market again.
I have no fucking idea what this means, so I will take offense and assume it’s a movie quote. GOOD DAY!!
I’m more of a ‘Over medium egg on my Burger’ kind of guy myself, but no judgement. Breakfast sandwiches are the bomb, but the breakfast burger from Whataburger reigns supreme. Now I sound like a fucking ad. Ugh.
Interesting. I always wondered if the same rule applied to the ‘goo’ type as my friend has one.
Gotcha. Thanks for the type up!
Good lord. Fit + lingerie is a killer mix.
Isn’t there severe issues with micro plastics doing this? Serious question. I’ve just heard in general on 3d prints that they’re more prone to shedding.

If it’s just a habit you’re into it’s not like it’s something bad? I guess everyone’s anxieties are different but I always make sure to be early as well. It’s just being well prepared and a responsible adult? Mine was never instilled in me it was something I learned to do naturally. Especially when it comes to something like the airport. Better to be a bit early and have some time to read a book or mess around on my phone than to be late and miss a flight. Not being critical of you, I get everyone has different mental health journeys, I’m just saying if being late requires planning and stress maybe that’s not helping the problem either.
