in one way, governments regulating pornography is worse than the drug war because at least in the case of the drug war people can agree on what cocaine even is. There is no consensus on what pornography is. It would be like if the government decided to regulate “junk food” and then defined junk food as “food which appeals to the glutton’s hunger”.
The most famous quote wrt what pornography is centers on the phrase “I’ll know it when I see it”
once my brothers friend walked into his room and just started sniffing the air and went “oh i smell a quarter” and then walked over to a pile of clothes and moved it and picked up a quarter and i literally can’t stop thinking about it it’s been like a year and it haunts me to this day
crt nostalgia is really funny to me because it makes total sense why everyone switched to lcd flat panel screens as soon as the tech came along
cathode ray tube televisions are full of lead (because otherwise they would give you turbo cancer), they weigh One William pounds (because they are full of lead), it’s very hard to make them big (because they need to contain a vacuum to work), if you break the glass they Fucking Explode (because they contain a vacuum), and if you poke the wrong thing inside them (even when turned off) you will be electrocuted by hundreds of volts. clearly this is superior to the 50 inch 4k flatscreen i can pick up brand spankin new at best buy for a cool two hundo bucks because it makes me feel like christmas in 1998
