If they never shared the story, how in fuck did Brodie know‽

Well did he cum or what?

❌ subscriptions for apps and streaming
✅ the high seas, libre software

I mean in a way I get it. It's easier to just pay subscription services and to have to try and deal with the utterly terrible torrent sites which by the way are no better now than they were 20 years ago.

That's a reasonable position that doesn't invalidate the experiences of others [genuine]. There are definitely differences between heroin addiction and porn addiction, but either can be life ruining. Heroin tends to be more dangerous, but that can depend on what kind of porn the person is addicted to, just ask David Carradine.

the similarities are far more numerous than not.

porn/masturbation addiction targets the pleasure receptors in your brain and excites your brain to release dopamine.

heroin does the same thing but "louder".

you're not addicted to the drug, you're addicted to the dopamine rush and feelings.

edit: downvote all you want, doesn't make my comment any less factual.

in erotic audio alone I had close to 2tb, close to 80k files if I can remember. most of it you probably couldn't even get anymore since the creators removed them from online.

tens of millions of pictures.

hundreds of thousands of clips/cam rips.

and probably a couple thousand HD videos.

at one time I had software that would watch cams of my favorite models that would fire up a browser and screen record their streams.

I had it spread out across a raid array.

honestly I probably could have started my own porn site if it weren't for all those pesky copyright laws. I did write a frontend too just to make browsing it easier. it had features like slideshows+audio mixing so I could have images of audio content with visual feedback. my favorite was creators that would post both audio and images. something about seeing the person I'm hearing made it way more intimate.

I also had a collage mode for clips and video content. I would pre-select videos/clips and have them automatically fill out the entire page to maximize playing space. from there I could change the volume and size on each video. I wanted to make it so when a video stopped, another video on the list would play, but I was happy enough with looping them.

of course everything could be saved as a playlist and viewed later too.

No no, wait, hol' up there!

Yeah, though getting useful information out of documentation is a skill on its own that not everyone possesses. But I agree that "it's in the manual" can be useful, especially these days with how common useless manuals are.

Like I just bought a motherboard and the paper manual it came with was useless, like it didn't even differentiate between installing Intel or AMD coolers, so clearly didn't contain much specific information for that particular board.

The online manual had more useful information, unless you want more info about uefi settings, where you'll be lucky if it has full information of uefi options for the release uefi, let alone the latest version.

That's who we've always been. The boomers and silent generation had a glimmer but we're given treats that required toeing the line, treats they guaranteed their children and grandchildren would never see, perhaps in ignorance/myopia, many of sheer selfishness and malicious intent.
