Porn is never going to be banned. There may come a time where access is restricted so it’s not a free-for-all for anyone that is online, but it’s never going away. My hope is that as people become more aware of how terrible porn is for society and individuals, it will become stigmatized and seem as a disgusting habit like smoking cigarettes.

The government does not care about porn or women on any level. This is just an easy way ot ramp up surveillance and information control without people complaining.

The government already tackles child porn seemingly well, i think trickling down porn bans without invading privacy is doable, especially more explicit hardcore pornography since that's very distinguishable

>>314937
This, so much this

Porn can be regulated, but if it gets banned outright in your country, you probably have more issues on your hands (a.k.a. living in an authoritarian hole) than porn.
That's just how it is. It's the same with weed, the same with alcohol, the same with every common vice. By making those illegal, the government panders to projections and hurt feelings of neurotic losers and creates new groups to oppress and destroy lives of. All while the thing its fighting will still be a thing, except now it will also fund organized crime.
And projecting neurotic losers will still proceed to be projecting neurotic losers.

I'm also an NSFW artist who's bad at drawing.
I wish I knew how to post and sell my art without losing my anonymity. I don't mind commissions irl, but what lands on the internet often stays on the internet.
How are you not paranoid about posting your NSFW drawings?

how do you find people who are interested and commission you, even if it was for free despite being "bad"?

>but what lands on the internet often stays on the internet.

Because the Internet is for everyone and for the NSFW drawings, I'm not ashamed of drawing shit I wanted
>>314922
I'll find others who's fascinated and wouldn't mind of how bad it looks, they can art-trade with me if they wanted to

your art isn't that bad, I like it tbh
it's just that the subject matter reeks of autism, for better or worse

So you refuse to use tampons? Did you really needed a new buzzword for that?

When you have no life and no real identity, you gotta make up labels. Anyone that into politics is already a redflag, just tells me they are not a human being but a set of political ideas wearing human skin. Once you question such a person about anything outside of politics, soon you realize just how sad and empty their life truly is.

Anyway, reusable cotton period pads ftw and i no longer get skin irritation + save a lot of money. And my younger sister says diva cups are the best choice she made. At least she won't ever have to risk gettint toxic shock syndrome from a nasty ass tampon, f that shit.

Get yourself a husband and stay at home, it's still perfectly doable. Just because you don't have any goals in life outside of baby making doesn't mean the rest of us should be dragged into it

Woman constantly must explain themselves to other women in almost apologetic manner in order to not get dogpiled by the feminist hivemind.

obviously, otherwise the crabs will pull you back in

Its pretty much the only way to live. They've destroyed our lives for the last 25k years. Live it up.

Though I dont necessarily see being a virgin as an important part of that. Just have no attachments whatsoever to moids. They will put a woman's life and priorities in a landfill. Every. Single. Time.

But I think caring about being a virgin is playing into what moids want in the first place.

>>314897
agree but its hard when you have family who placed value on your specific virginity

You're gonna made the cocksuckers mad.

>>314899
they were always mad anyway, let them be

I use Brave on my phone because my friend’s military dad makes her use it. I need to get back into Tor but I am bad at using it.

>Privacy
For anything privacy related, I like to check out privacy guide's recommendations.
https://www.privacyguides.org/en/search-engines/
https://github.com/pluja/awesome-privacy?tab=readme-ov-file#search-engines
I personally like to use Startpage for its similarity to google, Brave for its AI and DuckDuckGo because you can watch youtube videos on there without having to open youtube.
(I also watch youtube videos via invidious instances https://docs.invidious.io/instances/ or just use peertube at https://joinpeertube.org/browse-content )
I looked a bit into https://docs.searxng.org/ and tried out SearX instances, but the results don't seem as relevant to me compared to other engines' and setting things up would take some work. If I was at a point where I'd need secure privacy to this extent, I'd be using Tor and a different device anyway. For .onion sites, I've used Ahmia at https://ahmia.fi/
>more engines
I've been looking for different search engines myself; my go-to to search for site and program alternatives is this site: https://alternativeto.net/software/google-search/
Now I don't know how privacy focussed they are, but I like to use WolframAlpha for technical searches https://www.wolframalpha.com/ and I recommended https://www.factmonster.com/ to a parent before.
I also use AI search engines like https://www.perplexity.ai/ for random stuff and https://consensus.app/ to loPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

That's an oxymoron. They all sell your data.

Sleeping off thanksgiving dinner still

Working my wagie job. No complaints cause it offers consistency during these times

partner drove me to boston, bought me expensive cocktails and tapas, we went on a shopping spree and then came home and ate desserts we bought and are cuddling watching stranger things. i love being married. i’m stoned surrounded by like $5000 worth of gifts for myself and my loved ones that i spent like $2500 on. feels great.

This is what i mean
Also neanderthals probably didnt look like white people, light skin only evolved around the bronze age when europeans started needing vitamin D from the sun due to their new agricultural diets

You are overthinking it. Early internet, before smartphones was way more relax. On early 4chan, you would have been called a ner and a fag for no reason and think nothing of it and neither would that double ner who told you that.
You would not get food thrown at you because you are a women and it make some unhappy moid hate you, you would have food thrown at you because it's a giant food fight and you are meant to throw and receive food until you leave.
Life was easier back then. Everyone was mature enough to understand it was not serious.

I imagine early Internet (specifically imageboards) was mostly richer nerdy, young people from and thus their communities had much more cohesion.
