  1. Don't really have an issue with porn consumption while in a relationship. Sex takes two people and it's ridiculous to think that both parties are interested in sex all the time. Both male and female. I think it gets pretty close to crossing the line when you're purchasing said porn, like buying certain girls onlyfans etc. But just loading up pornhub and rubbing one out real quick to random strangers isn't anything intimate.

     

    As for a SO having an OF, I guess it really depends on a few variables. If it was just a side thing and it was done anonymously then I probably wouldn't have an issue. I'd like to think I'd be as respectful as possible, but if my SO became dependent on OF, and it was their "career" so to speak (like these social media girls who are all over Twitch/Twitter/Instagram etc to promote their onlyfans) and they became widely known (think of a Belle Delphine type), my level of comfort would definitely begin to wane and I can't be confident I'd be fine with it for long.

  2. My out-of-house activities won't really change until case #s drop and vaccinations are being widely distributed to the entire populace, and not select age groups/demographics/certain workers etc. Restrictions or not, I don't want someone being infected due to my selfish actions on my conscience, especially if it ends up harming them or someone they care about. That said, the only thing I really miss is going to the movie theaters. I've been pretty much able to do everything else still (to an extent). Having a very energetic dog is pretty helpful in keeping yourself from becoming a complete potato.

    pretty much just what you prefer but yea the whole franchise basically, pokemon was no doubt bigger but i've def met people who are more diehard yugioh than pokemon when it comes to basically everything 

    Seems a bit silly to me that anyone could outright like Yugioh as a franchise more. The cards, sure, but everything? Insane. The video games, the anime, the movies (as if there'll ever be a live action Yugioh movie), etc..

  4. Are we just voting on the overall franchise or? I don't think Yugioh really compares to Pokemon as a franchise/universe etc. Not even close. But I definitely liked Yugioh cards more than Pokemon. Granted I only ever really collected Pokemon cards when I was like 7-9, so my brain never understood how to actually "play" with them. Was big into Yugioh at like 11-13 so I used them more as cards/a game and less as collectibles. 

  5. Tbf, when it comes to Disney movies and such I don't really see $30 USD being that big of a deal. At least not for the target audience. Most of the people who will be buying the premium access will be families. So that's 3, 4, 5 people or more. If you take movie ticket price into consideration, you're saving money tbh. And then there are a lot of spoiled kids out there who make their parents take them to see it AGAIN. But with D+, you can watch it as many times as you want and in the comfort of your own home.

     

    So... Main point is I can see why Disney charges extra, but I don't think another service could likely get away with it (HBO Max is currently releasing theatrical movies for no extra cost (watched Kong vs Godzilla earlier for example)).

    Good point. I guess they can't really stop others from doing what they are currently doing with it being illegal and it would in turn likely actually hurt their revenue stream, though that would presumably only be with full legalization as opposed to decriminalization I imagine. 

    As I said, full legalization wouldn't rid us of cartels and gangs. But it would take a LOT of their profit. And without as much money, they're weaker and and easier to deal with (to an extent). As opposed to decades of data of a failed "war on drugs" campaign that shows us that punishing the sick, the self-destructive does not work. It alienates and ruins lives. Someone shouldn't be marked as a felon for life and have no chance of working because they chose to medicate themselves with a joint instead of a bottle of whiskey.

    Agree with most of this but in reference to you saying cartels and organized crime crumbling without the ability to profit off drugs, I thought back to a topic on the forums about legalizing prostitution and how many people brought up that it didn't really do anything to get rid of the organized crime element and actually just brought a lot of shady characters around to the places it was legalized. I'm not necessarily sure if there's anything that prevents the same from being the case with legalization of drugs. 

     

    As for decriminalizing and pretty much everything else you said I agree, as long as it doesn't somehow royally fuck things up or make them worse I see no issue with decriminalization. 

    The difference is that when a person is the product, they can be blackmailed, scared, coerced, threatened, manipulated, brainwashed, whatever else. The same cannot be said from an inanimate substance. The only organized crime who'd be getting involved in legal drug trade, would be the same greedy corporations as always.

  8. There's 0 reason for any drugs to be criminalized. If the food industry, alcohol industry, and cigarette industry have free rein to profit off the people's inevitability of self-destruction, there's no reason to stop the drug industry from doing it as well. Hell, decriminalization isn't far enough. I'm in favor of full legality. Think of how much the cartels and organized crime would crumble without drugs to profit off. Granted, there'll likely still be a market for street sales (legal weed for example is usually 2-3x more expensive than street weed, but you do pay for the convenience, quality, and variety).

     

    No one has the right to criminalize me for what I choose to put in my body. That's the end of it.
