[QUOTE=DixonCider;7367798]It does not matter which team you vote for; they are all owned and controlled. If you have ever seen the George Carlin clip called "it's a big club" you need to ask yourself who (((they))) are which he is making reference to. If you have not seen the clip, go on youtube and check it out and think outside of the box instead of blue team vs. Red team which is nothing more than another version of divide and conquer.[/QUOTE]That was true at the time he said it. But republicans, more specifically MAGA republicans, have gone nuclear. They've taken it from quiet, sweep it under the rug controlled, to flaunting that they are wresting control from the public with a what are you going to do about it attitude.

The public hasn't been in control since the development of farming and cities. Its all about turning the people into sheep.

Keep your powder dry.

And George Carlin is very educational.

S[a raided, and shut down yesterday morning. Two arrested, doesn't say if customers or workers.

Cracking down on parlors and prostitutes is all part of the game plan. Porn site verification is coming to Ohio very soon. This has been moving into the forbidden fruit realm for a while with our AG but accelerated with the new administration. Search Project 25 and you can see what the Heritage Foundation has in store for us.

So apparently Yost got a new law through in Ohio that requires porn sites to verify age before you can enter. All but one is ignoring it so far and of course steam is coming out of his ears. Personally, fuck him. However, I'm wondering if Admin is going to have to deal with this in some manner. Being in the Netherlands the only problem I see is that they may try to pass another law forcing ISPs to block sites like this if they don't comply. I'm wondering if we will need to use a VPN to get around this crap. Admin, feel free to chime in, thanks.

I've encountered it tons of times on links I have saved across multiple sites.

[QUOTE=DirtMerchant;7415250]Only one? I've encountered it tons of times on links I have saved across multiple sites.[/QUOTE]That's what I read. I don't hit the porn sites very often so have not encountered them.

Chrome has free VPN's available if you don't want to buy any. They work to get around the redirects.

There was another sting Monday or Tuesday, in Solon. 13 guys got caught up in it, watch your 6. Article in the News herald this morning, 10/22. Couple of them got nabbed by agents posing as minors.

It's pretty much the only time I look at these sting reports and think "good job".

Two busts in Toledo. 6 arrested, 3 of which tested positive for HIV! That's going to make me reconsider some things.

Everything about this hobby is a risk if you think about it.
