It does sound like projection. Your link comes down to depiction of “a minor”. How does one prove an image is an 18 year old, even if they are, and not 1 day younger? It’s unquestionable for children but not so clear near the age of 18. I think that is the point of the poster, that it’s really not clear on all porn what age the people are. Even with disclaimers they could be lies.

That's up to the jury. I'll defer to their judgement and in the absence of additional information (information neither of us possesses) that is the only reasonable position to take.
No, it's not my point. Point is, these are all just accusations from people who think lying about and murdering the people they hate is fine. You're still taking a lot of the torturers claims as true, just on their word.
My position on the claims of the torturers is unknown to you.
My position on the findings of the various juries involved in the various trials is that I should defer to their analysis of the evidence-- and that is the only reasonable position to take in the absence of more information, information neither of us has.
Please be aware that some of us actually don't amass piles of erotica in our alone time, as if some sort of pornsick squirrel.
The most reliable way of not getting caught out storing dodgy images on your computer is to not procure them in the first place.
And, it's better for keeping a healthy and well-adjusted attitude towards sexual desire, rather than being trained on whatever pornographers want to you see. From an ethical point of view, not being complicit in the sexual abuse that is so rife in the porn industry is also a big plus.
Everyone fails sometimes. Take every failure as a learning experience. Taking it personally and feeling emotions doesn’t actually help the problem - that you made a mistake and need to just learn and move on. Focus on the future, on the problem, on now, not the past. If however you make a mistake and get defensive and don’t learn anything then yeah it’s only a toxic thing on you. Learning from it helps you grow.
Masters of subjects don’t learn overnight. They learn over years, decades, a lifetime. In that time they make countless mistakes. But they persevere and don’t let it affect them emotionally and they grow into those masters.
I make mistakes daily. I’ve thrown away hundreds of thousands of lines of code in my career because it didn’t work as expected. But each time I grew a little and learned something to make the next iteration better.
I once interviewed a guy from France who said he was being paid for the last year to do nothing. Some government protection. I am in the USA so I am not sure how true that was.
Sometimes I feel like this in my Big Corp job. My manager cancelled my 1-on-1 a few months ago and that’s that. Must be nice right? Nah because it creates a lot of uncertainty that I’m working on the right stuff.
How can I buy bread with a gold bar? Serious opening question as I have a lot of cash to convert. I don't see the benefit in having gold if I expect cash to inflate to worthlessness eventually.
My guess is that you buy gold denominated in much snaller weights. If cash inflates to worthlessness, gold may be the thing to get people moving for you.
I consider myself fairly liberal but I have to say that the progressive movement has been far too focused on identity/social justice politics and not on things that will really impact and help the community. I'm left with no party that I think has it right. If anything I want a return to some moderate rational politics. Both sides just keep getting more and more extreme and shifting their policies to canceling each other and things they don't like without listening or trying to understand each other. I'm scared for where we are going.
I mean Seattle is "progressive" but we let all these homeless people live on the streets! If we are so progressive then why do we not provide and force them into housing (or mental wards or anything)? Why do we not have an income tax?! This state makes no sense but I am stuck here because my kids are in high school.
Say you install FreeBSD 12.1, you can keep your package system using the 12.1 package set forever. No updates will be available. But they'll always work.
In /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf you will find something like this:
> url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
Assuming using amd64 that maps to:
https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/
There you can see there are "release_X" sets that map to 12.0 12.1 12.2 12.3. Again, no updates will ever be published on those but they will be guaranteed to continue working so long as they don't get deleted.
The FreeBSD community just doesn't have the manpower (of volunteers) or willpower to maintain what you're asking for.
My understanding is those files for previous versions go away so you can't reliably get packages for older versions even if you "pin it". If I'm wrong, please let me know, I would like to be wrong.
I don't know what volunteer / manpower is needed to just keep files around but storage and bandwidth is definitely an issue.
I do agree that FreeBSD tends to delete stuff the second that it goes EOL. The ports project is the worst violator of this. The ports tree takes manpower to maintain and keep building. The mirrors for packages use very large donated systems and bandwidth (AFAIK) and don't have as much pressure to delete old packages.
Thanks for that. It's exactly what I've been looking for. My mind has been on this whole topic for the last year. Even the name is a big hint I'll like it as blindsight is fascinating.
Strongly seconding the recommendation. You'll probably also like the references to scientific studies included at the end of the book.
The book has a sequel, Echopraxia, which I also recommend. It's a novel based around the argument that consciousness is not only unnecessary, it's actually an evolutionary disadvantage.
