    So glad I don’t live in a shit hole country with abortion bans, weed prohibition or internet monitoring/censorship.

    The Gooners term from porn doesn’t come from goon, but from “gone”, they are the people that are “too far gone” aka gooners aka gooners. Gooning is the act of acting “too far gone”.

    There are still dry counties to this day though. Prohibition didn’t completely lose.

      Are there? I understand some middle eastern countries are “dry”, but not dry. Are there any countries that are actually dry in practice?

        I had a family member that worked in UAE. There’s at least one shop on every block that has stuff the Americans want in the back.

        Granted, it’s probably different in Iran or Yemen, but I’m sure you can get alcohol.

        No no no, he said dry counties.

        There are tons of dry counties in the south. They are never too far away from a wet county though that has an abundance of bars and liquor stores.

          Shiet, there’s even dry neighborhoods. Years ago I worked at a restaurant where we weren’t allowed to sell liquor (beer and wine only) unless the restaurant got a special liquor license designating it as a club. Which came with its own weird restrictions.

            Theres a good Baptist joke I like:

            What’s the difference between Baptists and the rest of Protestants?

            spoiler

            Baptist’s don’t recognize each other in the liquor store.

        :P not everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s definitely mine. Though this folder contains human stuff as well - it didn’t start out that way many moons ago, and I’m quite picky about what I save and retain, but the % of human content is growing year over year. Total is around 10% but in the last couple years, 25% or so, just off the top of my head.

        There’s a few subfolders, and it turns into a whole hierarchy. /yiff/people/[their user/name]/year usually. For furry stuff, while it started out that way, I follow way too many artists and characters, so they get grouped by /yiff/yiff/[year found]

        There’s a few other folders like archived and animations, but they aren’t even a rounding error.

          I have to respect an organizational scheme that so clearly knows its priorities as to place human people in the “people” directory within the “yiff” directory.

        Likely easily 400:1 (maybe as much as 500:1) pics:vids, trying to ballpark. I prefer pictures heavily, and the videos I have saved are rather short. But for file sizes?

        a pie chart of file types; about 2/3rds videos, the rest pictures

        E: weird colors by Dark Reader; pictures are the big yellow area

        E2: wow, ha, the biggest file is 4.9 gigs, from a recording of Second Life with a friend. Actually, 6 of the top 10 are vids from SL; 16.9 gigs alone. But then we drop to irl content and the length of time plummets.

        The ISSW: International Siblinghood of Sex Workers

        Honestly, get it going then get them working with the brotherhood of construction workers and the agricultural union and you might have a really effective force against modern slavery.

        i’d imagine the mob was kind of a union in that any one of them could flip, so wages and benefits must’ve been good to keep everyone happy

      I’d join you on the tech side and drawing weird hentai, but likely we will be outclassed by some former friend of the insiders, who will try to run it “as efficient as possible”.
