I was afraid that’s what it was but had higher hopes for the world.

Is this a reference I’m not getting?

If you’re using something like Bandcamp, the artists are already getting thousands of times the money you are giving them from listening on Spotify, I think it’s good enough. Even iTunes is thousands of times better.

She’s very well drawn.

It’s always been there somewhere in the shadows, but that was the first time I saw it happening out in the open.

I left the US after Bush Jr was elected and it was the best decision of my life. That’s when fascism started it’s slow ramp up in the USA

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Not sure, maybe the goal is to just “get there”?

And pretty rich.

It’s not all text. But I think most of it is scanned docs based on what’s been released so far.

They are doing it because it was looking like they would get the signatures in congress to force the release of the full archives despite speaker Mike Johnson blocking the vote on it. Now they are trying to take the wind out of the sails out of that movement. The best whistleblower would be congress itself.

There are more than 300 gigabytes of Epstein files confirmed by the DOJ. If we are generous and say all these 33,000 pages are stored as images rather than text, they probably aren’t more than 25gb. And 97% of them were already public.

Epic!

I’m not saying people don’t have sex as they get older (though there is ample evidence out there that they tend to have less). I’m saying that women are less likely to put up with a broke ass older man than a young stud. As you get older you become more prized as a breadwinner than you do as just a toy boy.

Again is dependent a lot on your age.

Then you are young

But, my own theory is that sex is one of the cheapest forms of entertainment available to humanity (if you don’t factor in the costs of children). So the citizens of these wealthier countries are spending their time and money doing other things. Not just skii vacations or going yachting, but reading books and watching TV.

Spoken like a man who’s never tried to get laid. Sex is expensive. Dressing nicely, being fit, being financially well off enough to attract a girl in the first place, then entertaining them, taking them out, etc. It’s not easy to pull off if you are poor. Especially when compared to free porn on tap and the stagnation of the middle and lower classes for decades.

If anyone could stop an entire country from fucking, it’s that man.

Poverty, depression, gooning to porn… Must I go on?

I think that Dad is the casual version of Classic.
