first porn film I ever saw was pretty tame, it was at a mates house and he found his step dads stash. Video was just playing and we were all messing about playing football out the back and one of us shouted urgh so we went in. Seemed like there was a secret video after 30 mins of nothing which was called the Best of Choco. Choco seemed to be a massive afghan hound and he entertained many lady. Not a great intro to porn.
When I fell asleep watching Useless wooden toys I woke to extra parts, Twice! Glad it wasn’t the same kind of secret footage.

No matter the many, many good reasons people feel less free than they did last week and the issue can’t change that uneasy feeling unfortunately and what could be next. Compulsory ID cards?
I feel that the way this has been handled is a major boost for Reform.

No such thing as a ā€˜clean’ internet history unless you’re using a VPN. In the UK your ISP can see every site you have visited and stores your entire history for 12 months. If you use a VPN then they don’t have to store your data.

I wouldn’t be that surprised to see the UK Government trying to make VPNs illegal.

Exactly! I barely use the internet and visit places that I don’t mind anyone knowing I visit.
It’s pointless trying to be anonymous so I just stay visibly uncontroversial.
This forum is as controversial as I get.
I wonder how many people have started using VPN’s in the past few days?

Top 4 of the app chart this week i heard somewhere

The thing that worries me about modern porn (again, not trying to seem like some uptight conservative) is the ā€˜youtub-ification’ of it.

Porn thumbnails now look indistinguishable from YouTube. Two people doing shocked face with yellow writing and a ā€˜I can’t believe she fit the whole thing inside’ caption. It’s basically mainstream entertainment now.

I absolutely don’t think porn should be restricted for over 18s, but I do feel it should at least feel a bit like you’re not supposed to be looking at it

I’d force all pornography to be educational and ban makeup and editing. Just raw unfiltered humanity. It’d die in a week.

I imagine the videos would all be under 10 minutes long as well

Tommy Robinson has joined the Advance Party, ironic for a man who is currently in retreat.

Europe needs to grow a pair and step in before trump completely fucks over Ukraine.

Ukraine is on a path to EU and NATO membership, yet the US is negotiating with Russia (and Russia alone) to decide it’s fate?

No Ukraine in the talks, no European representation.

This is exactly what Putin wants, not having Ukraine in the talks legitimises Kremlin propaganda that Zelensky is an illegitimate leader, not having Europe in the talks weakens Ukraine’s position substantially.

Trump’s roughly sketched style of negotiation will leave gaping holes that Russia will further leverage. What about the thousands of kidnapped children?

Complete shitshow.

The hard fact is that the USA is by far the biggest provider of military aid to Ukraine. They provide more military support to Zelensky than all of the EU/non-EU European nations put together and Putin knows it.

Germany and the UK are the next biggest providers of military support but they give a fraction of the amount the Americans provide. They’re no threat to Putin and they have no negotiating hold over him.

So when Trump wades in Ukraine has no choice but to listen.

I’m reading the book Putin’s people at the moment and I can’t believe we’ve let Russia push on like it has for so long. it’s clear from just the first few pages that it’s been a criminal state for a long long time.

as for Ukraine I see the US letting this grind on indefinitely. it suits them down to the ground to keep Russia tangled up in that. also keeps Ukraine out of the EU and them becoming mutually stronger.

different countries, different suits and pin badges on their lapels, same goal…..cold hard cash preferably provided by the saps you rule over

I keep hearing about some asteroid that the scientific community has theorised might be an alien probe based on it’s behaviour. Probably not but a massive part of me hopes so.
