You linking a suicide script that wipes your entire drive if you make a mistake, and an old bug in steam that also wiped your drive if you made a certain mistake. Sounds like that’s in the same ballpark to me.

Question is, why would you watch it if you thought it was a waste of time? Most people would probably stop watching at that point and do something else. But hey, you do you.

Well, no one has ever accused the Danish of having a spine.

No thanks. I choose life. Though it reminds me of this little gem

In true accordance to the post. I mistyped. I have it set as lsn.

I mistyped. I have it set as lsn.

Would “Danger” happen to be your middle name by any chance?

The most useful for me is probably “ln = ls -n”

It’s supposed to be “lsn = ls -n”.

Then you probably removed it without making regurgitate. Which is good. Point is. If you see the bullseye. You need penicillin.

I’m not gonna justify a $600 bill for a doctor to prescribe penicillin. But $600 less in your wallet is far better than borreliosis.

And what kind of doc saw your bullseye mark and said “it’s probably fine”. That’s just incompetence. If you have the bullseye mark, you’re not fine. You need penicillin or you risk borreliosis.

Anyhow. My bill was $20 for the visit and about $12 for penicillin, 3 grams a day for 10 days.

If that’s how you feel, that’s how you feel. But I personally doubt Reddit as a company have lost out. They still have all the data. And they still have a massive user-base. I’m sure Spez is suffering real bad with his hundreds of millions…

Good for whom?

There’s been loads of times where I’ve looked everywhere for a solution, finally finding it on google page 10+ in an obscure reddit thread with like 10 votes and 4 comments where someone had found a weird, illogical solution to your exact problem, that actually worked.

It’s a shame it went to shit. The real losers are us, we lost a lot of knowledge.

I got a tick bite. And I didn’t even notice it. It was right on my arm. So it’s not like I’ve just been sitting around feeding the fucker for the fun of it.

As the doctor told me. They can be very tiny, they latch on, and then you accidentally rub it off, never knowing it was there. And during that, it regurgitated and that’s why you see the giant tick bite mark.

The real question. Is why people see a giant hollow red circle and just ignore it. It’s a very distinctive mark, I don’t know how you could miss it, unless it’s on the back of your thigh or back. Go to the doctor, get penicillin. That’s it.

And these days, if you know you live in a high risk area, you can get vaccinated.

Eh. I would wager they just don’t want to. Which is fine. But lots of people rather than saying they don’t want. Say they don’t know how. As an excuse.

Because you’re capable of following a set of instructions and when there’s something you don’t fully understand you try to look it up knowing you have the world’s combined knowledge at your fingertips.

I’m not moving anything. We have the same basic opinion. “Visa and MasterCard should not be allowed to leverage their monopolized position into a morality police of what we are allowed to buy or not”

I’m not here to debate you on what is you think is objectionable or not. I simply stated that I wish for people to not make this about porn. Because I don’t think that’s going to be helpful. You’re just giving ammunition for the opposition to use against you. It will take them 5 seconds to use it against you and reach an audience of 100 million. You will have to spend 50 minutes trying to counter, and it will only reach the 10 million that actually bothered to look into it.

How many times do we have to go down this road before anyone learn from it?

So what is the solution? Don’t give them that ammunition to begin with. Use other arguments. Arguments that can not be turned against you.

You don’t have to agree with that advice. That’s fine.

Why would you be advocating for a different term other than CP? It doesn’t matter how you depict it. Consensual or not. Abuse or not. CP is CP, and that is bad enough. Anyway. That’s not the topic. I was just floored by that statement.

Point is. It seems like you DO compromise. Everyone does. Somewhere you’ve drawn a line. This is acceptable. This is not acceptable. And regardless of what you think of incest. I’m sure you can agree, that the vast majority of people would frown upon it. And if you say “Visa and MasterCard are bad because they stopped authorizing payments to incest games”. Well… You’re just not going to get a lot of people to sign up. They’re gonna say. “Good.”

So, trying to build momentum in a movement, and then using or citing incest porn games on steam as the catalyst, is just not a particularly good strategy in my opinion.

Porn is art, there’s no compromising on that without throwing someone under the bus.

Would you consider child pornography art as well? You don’t compromise, that’s what you said no?

Could you elaborate on what “respectability politics” is? I’ve never heard that before.

Point is. Making a movement and using the removal of games that fetishize incest as the drop that made the cup overflow. Is simply not going to go the way you think it is. Unless you think it’s going to crash and burn. Then it’ll go exactly how you think it’ll go.

You can make at least 101 far better arguments against Visa and MasterCard using their monopolized position to morally dictate what people can and can not buy, than having to involve incest porn. Or porn at all for that matter.

That’s great, not great that they removed it but a great example of something you can bring up that doesn’t hurt the case.

I just really wish people would leave actual porn games out of it. Because that is not going to be helpful to their case.

What if players take the elements of the game to create something the developers didn’t prevent? Like if a map contains a baby on one side of a map and an orgy (in another office) on the other side of the map, is it CP if a player picks up the baby and brings it into the orgy room? Is this something you want the banks deciding?

I said I wish removal of titles would be because of other reasons than payment processors having an issue with it. So to be clear. The answer to your question of if it should be up to banks to decide, is “No”.

Additionally, let’s talk about what makes porn. Does “https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Be_My_Baby” of Yakuza 2 count? Or does it get a free pass because it’s a large publisher?

We don’t need to talk about what makes porn. Though it may have been unclear, the titles I spoke of, was the ones Steam removed after PayPal wasn’t authorizing payments. The “Incest porn games”. I don’t know what the law says where you live. But in my part of the world. Incest is illegal. And I do not think games where incest is the goal and depicted as a fetish have any place on steam.

It’s ok if you want incest games on steam. That’s your opinion. I just said I welcome their removal. But wish they would have been removed due to other reasons.
