Buying premium would absolutely do more than turning on ads, but it still would be nowhere near the efficacy of direct support. Most creators have methods of direct support, and those that don’t can easily be petitioned to start. For a creator that uploads once a year, perhaps you donate once per upload. Also, I don’t think it has anything to do with managing subscriptions and everything to do with dropping a little bit of money when you notice you’ve been enjoying something.

I don’t know why people are downvoting you tho.

Or alternatively, run and adblocker and literally give the creators you watch 1$ per month and you’re still supporting them 100 times more than turning on ads would, and you still get to keep some semblance of privacy.

Being an atheist is also unfalsifiable. Disbelief in any one God is not unscientific, but disbelief in the possibility of God is, objectively.

I have confused atheism and anti-theism.

Also, if anybody funds themselves in this situation, hydrate or die-drate. Really bad diarrhea is very, very, very dehydrating (just think about how much water is in the liquid sludge coming out of your ass)

Atheism is just as illogical as theism. You can apply Occam’s razor to assume that there is no god/gods, but that is still just that, an assumption. Agnosticism would be the logically/scientifically backed argument.

Jsyk a ‘month of sundays’ would be several months as it refers to ~30 weeks.

Yeah crackheads are just always getting up to some nonsense to get money for more crack, or at least so I thought

POV: you’re reading the comment of somebody that doesn’t cook for themselves

I think it’s hilarious how you accuse me of arguing in bad faith then purposely misrepresent my argument to make yours look better not even 10 sentences later. I have benn writing a reply to this comment and I really hope you read it when I finish.

Wasn’t a trump card. Was intended to show you just how ridiculous your line of argumentation was. If I said I’m right because I’ve been sexually assaulted, that would be different.

Are we really equivocating catcalling, in which a woman has immediate and relevant fears for her physical safety, and some gross comments online?

Like when somebody tells me they’re gonna rape me in a video game lobby, I don’t appreciate their language but I’m not legitimately fearful.

I’d also really think somebody that cares about people wouldn’t throw somebody’s trauma in their face, fwiw

I also understand consequences for actions. If it was a private insta page, that’s one thing, and I don’t necessarily support these men’s actions nor would I take them myself, insofar as the thirsty comments, but if I posted a picture of myself that was purposefully sexy publicly, those are the comments I have to be prepared to get. I really don’t think your argument holds weight, as the consent is done when they post the image publicly to a place with public comments. That was the choice they made. I think that if somebody’s pictures are leaked or something, that’s totally different, but just insofar as public forums… yeah no

I think the reason people may be downvoting you is that this comment has no reason as to why you disagree. I have not btw. I respect disagreement

I’ve literally been sexually assaulted and you set me off too. Maybe you’re just a fucking dumbass

You’re treating the symptoms as the causes dude. If we had more open discussion about these things I don’t think such issues would be as commonplace.

If people understood more of what victims of rape go through, they’re much less likely to view consent as a hazy line.

I go to many places where sexuality is celebrated rather than shamed and because of that it’s much less of a big deal. At one music festival I went to there were coed communal showers. I was kind of nervous but I headed down. Got in there and everybody was laughing and singing, sudsing each other up with soap, etc. This wasn’t because it was some kind of huge orgy, but rather that everybody was comfortable with the nudity and we were having fun together in a totally non sexual way, in my opinion only made possible by the openness everybody had about sexuality there.

We are sexual creatures (except ace people), ain’t no two ways about it. Keeping sex taboo does nothing to prevent the problems you’re describing. It’s like the Islamic extremists who think the only way to protect women is by taking away their rights, making their beauty a taboo, etc. And still, these places have their own problems with rape anyway, so clearly that doesn’t work.

It’s most definitely an mp4 hosted on imgur. One click could’ve gotten you the answer.

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam

Yeah the best example is probably the Japanese internment camps during WW2. You don’t have ‘rights’, you have privileges. Rights can’t be taken away.

I mean Saudi Arabia showed that American citizens lives only matter when they align with national interests years and years ago
