They ask on a freshly built leftist shitposting site.
Any chance of the ability to turn off the autorefreshes as a setting? Or could someone point out where it is if I’m missing it? With the feed and comment threads it can be a bit weird to be reading (or especially upmodding a comment) and then find everything is out of order and you have find your place all over again.
edit: And to add to this because it just happened; I was reading a wall of text comment on the bottom of the page that seemingly blinked out of existence in front of my very eyes while I was only halfway through with it. I found it higher up with additional points. :grinning face with sweat:
If any admins are considering it, they should be made aware of 2257 which would basically require them (and pretty much anyone who posts here) to keep records of anyone who posts their own sexual/nude images (offsite links are okay… I think) on the site. It was passed during the Bush admin and shut down a number of the smaller adult communities. It’s not often enforced on non-porn sites except as a method of letting the Feds get their foot in the door which is why Reddit and Imgur don’t bother giving a shit about it.
edit: I realized my wording was a bit off there, but basically the owners of the site and even the users are responsible for the record keeping of ANY and ALL sexual photos or videos.
It’s not so much about what you’ve uploaded and when, but that you have legal age identification records available for anyone involved. Which is mostly normal, 2257 complicates things by spreading out the responsibility for who else needs those records and that changes depending on the back and forth legality of it all over the years. Like any legit video you watch or adult site you visit will have a little 2257 compliance bit that basically says we have the IDs of everyone in this video on file and available for law enforcement requests. But 2257 expanded that so anyone involved in the dissemination of that porn content are technically supposed to have those legal age identification records as well.
Here’s the Wikipedia article on it. You as a Creator would be a Primary Producer, but anyone that posts it to the site either hosting it on the site or using an img tag would then make themselves and the site owners Secondary Producers. It’s all a lot of grey areas and it was basically written to be used as like the internet equivalent of broken tail light enforcement.
I think it’s revealing that Bernie got as far as he did even despite that. At the end of the day what killed him was Obama calling up all the other candidates (except Warren, for some odd reason…) and getting them to drop out and endorse Biden on the eve of Super Tuesday. The media magnified that, sure, but that kind of political maneuvering would have a major impact on an election even with some platonic ideal of unbiased media.
Totally agree. Those fundraising maps where Bernie took like 90% of the country were amazing. :smiling face with heart-eyes: That he was able to stay 2nd and third in the polls while being totally blacked out was a testament to how his message resonated with people… but also to how much he embodied that message, his history, etc.
And that isn’t something a party can always pull off. The only reason the nominee was Biden (as opposed to someone who can draw a clock) is because no one else could attract any reliable block of voters. In a year there’s no candidate like Biden, or a year where the Tara Reade story comes out a month earlier, or a year where a popular ex-president doesn’t exist to get the other candidates in line, Bernie plows through Super Tuesday and wins. Establishment Democrats were able to pull it off this time, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be able to pull it off every time.
Maybe, but I’ve got serious doubts… It’s their party and regardless of whether or not we’ve got a candidate of Bernie’s caliber they’re always going to be the ones pulling the strings and making the rules. Bernie still had to walk into that convention with a majority of delegates to keep the super delegates at bay and they still could have performed untold fuckery behind the scenes. As demonstrated at the 2016 convention, the media is on their side against a leftist challenger and most of the Democratic Party voters had no clue of the shenanigans going on behind the scenes because corporate media was willing to look the other way.
I think it’s also important to remember that we may very well be fucked for 12 years if Biden wins and lets his VP run after his first term. That’s 12 years of us being kicked in the teeth and them massaging the system to smooth out any footholds we may have used to gain traction with Bernie. All the while, our ability to fundraise dropping as our piece of the pie continues to shrink.
And totally not to harp on you, but as if all that’s not enough, just a reminder that CNN literally ignored and refused to acknowledge the Tara Reade story until the day Bernie dropped out. I think that’s really the solid reminder that they’re not helping the dems because they have a preference for them; It’s that any candidate looking to introduce reformism or leftism into the world is the enemy of their bosses, their jobs, and their lifestyle.
God damn this shit is depressing.:grinning face with sweat:
