That’s weird because I can’t find any porn videos on amazon.com. I can find stuff you’d want to call porn for your argument, which I covered under my “qualifies as porn-adjacent” (ie, nc-17 movies, stuff on the border of their content guidelines, stuff that looks like it may have evaded content filters, etc)

Maybe more sex toys than anybody else - I could believe it either way - but there isn’t nearly the same social stigma about adult toys versus porn. Nobody in the last 10 years has ever been asked to make the case that sex toys are a “victimless product” but even the largest porn websites have had very public struggles…

Those are websites that, while obstensibly may have considered themselves “not porn sites” their primary sources of traffic was porn. This would be the opposite. Twitch already has countless branding, software integration and advertising partnerships, many of which would be put in jeopardy if they decided to allow…

If I had to guess, I suspect it’s to divert traffic from Twitch to other websites that can monetize the traffic. Like going into the crowd at Disney World and handing out flyers to the strip club down the street. Disney World doesn’t want you there. Everyone knows the strip club is there. But with large enough amount…

I feel like this could cause companies to really find out whether or not streaming long playthroughs of games falls under “Fair Use” because I think a lot of developers, particularly the larger ones, wouldn’t want the premier destination for videogame streaming to also serve porn. Due to streaming being largely viewed…

Aircraft grade aluminum, weapons grade stupidity.

I’ve lived in both Toronto and Montreal, more than 8 years in each. For my money, the TTC in Toronto is hands down better then the STM in Montreal. Not that the STM is bad - the subways themselves are roughly equitable in frequency and reach although the 1 line in Toronto has much newer cars - but the TTC’s bus…

Yes, I opened that sheet before posting. What does it tell you about the cable? The HDMI spec, and if it passed - it works - or it failed - it did not work. (The light green shows cables sold against the 2.0 spec that delivered 2.1 because for some manufacturers it makes economic sense to sell some of your 2.1 stock…

But that’s just a table of which brands failed.

Do you have data for this? And I don’t mean annecdata or “common sense.”

More accurately the analog would be OSB, which strictly speaking isn’t plywood.

Man this thing would look SO much better without those rear fender flares. Still think the i30 N looks better.

Sleeping Dogs is a very very good game. The combat is good to great, the driving is good enough, and the dialog is remarkably unstupid, a rarity in big budget games (and well voiced by the actors.)

That photo is evidence of assault? That photo could be used in a game of “post-assault or pop and lock dance-off?”

Thinking about it I really don’t like any of M. Night’s movies.

But I’m not telling people not to comment. I’m telling them what to not comment about. Scrolling through dozens of comments is a lot more laborious than spotting a byline and skipping an entire page because you know you don’t like the author. This reminds me of the tolerating intolerance argument. A lot of the…

What’s ironic about it? I’m not objecting to the content. My desire is for less spiteful noise. I think the comments are at their best when it’s more full of fun discussion/snark about the article itself. If you want something or somebody gone, write them an email. And I’m not scolding. I’m not angry or emotional…

It clearly rubs some people the wrong way. I still think if they want less of it, their most effective course of action is not to comment.

I’d always read his tone as sarcastic. I don’t think he’s genuinely whining.

Websites are obligated to report on it, because people are obligated to point out they don’t have the obligation to report it, and when people do that, the web page gets viewed and the business earns revenue. If you really object to this reporting, walk the walk and don’t comment.
