More than one, I'd think.

You’re saying that it’s a good thing that the government is infringing on people’s rights because it might motivate activists to convince them to stop doing so?

It's more accurate to say that it gives legitimacy to using things that government has limited to no control over.

>when some say

Some say very nearly anything you could imagine and many things you couldn’t.


Ban all third party advertisement. Or taking payment for it at any rate.

It’s petty straightforward. They want to taste meat but don’t want to eat animals.

My point is they're not tasting meat. Even the Impossible one doesn't taste like meat.

It tastes like imitation meat, the same way artificial vanilla tastes like imitation vanilla.

People are just deceiving themselves.


> People are just deceiving themselves.

I agree and also find it unpleasant, but I wouldn't claim to be incredulous that someone would deliberately want to deceive themselves. We deceive ourselves all the time for all sorts of stupid and less stupid reasons. If you need money but hate your job, you have to convince yourself that somehow getting up every day grinding it out is worth it. If you don't need money but are addicted to it, or don't have any other hobbies, you deceive yourself into making your number higher.

If you're a bodybuilder you might have convinced yourself that a certain repulsive aesthetic is attractive, or if you have weight issues, you might intentionally deceive yourself into hating the consumption addictions that are your weakness.

Many people who are vegans do happen to convince themselves of remarkably implausible nonsense that I haven't really seen in others as much, but it's usually due to what I'd suspect are other underlying mental health issues—the two groups I've observed the most mistrust in medicine from are 30+ men and vegans.

The act of self-deception itself isn't rare though

It’s funny and also disadvantages everyone who can’t trade 24/7. Win/win?

Holding racists beliefs isn’t, but many of the actions that those beliefs tend to lead in the absence of regulation to are.

Not the claim the person I’m responding to made.

It’s pretty obviously what they meant.

Disagree, sometimes you'll see real people on this website advocating for racism to be illegal. It wouldn't surprise me at all if that's what they truly meant.

I don't think it's the platform paying the workers. I think they're third parties hired by the posters. Of course, OnlyFans itself could theoretically create and offer a service to replace them, but Fraud As A Service doesn't actually seem all that reliable as a business model.

That service is already offered by Fanvue.

>You have the right to not provide custom software and firmware and technical documentation,

Just like all food sellers have the right not to provide documentation on the ingredients and nutrition of their products?


Correct. I buy food from vendors on the beach in foreign countries - it has no documentation. It’s a consensual transaction I choose to engage in.

In the context of this discussion, who cares what's possible in foreign countries?

> Just like all food sellers have the right not to provide documentation on the ingredients and nutrition of their products?

I agree that they should have this right. My personal anecdote explains that the citizens of other countries do have this right without the world falling apart.


>in foreign countries

It may surprise you to learn that this is not within the purview of Montana state law.
