Yeah I guess there’s no accounting for the power of neophobia.

Yeah I was thinking about that. Like, these companies probably have some number of government contracts and those contracts give latitude to make some interesting demands.

I don’t actually know but I imagine it’s all voluntary. It seems like kind of an endless tail chase to constantly limit anything that could feasible be used to commit a crime. Actual counterfeiting with any success requires some pretty specialized shit. Honestly if this printer could be configured to meet those specifics them more power to them. End of the day though I wouldn’t imagine this being the gateway to massive expansions in the counterfeit market.

People still have to survive. We still have to shop. Sorry I can’t grow a food forest in my 800 sq. Ft. Apartment and live off composting my own shit to grow heirloom tomatos.

You got somewhere I can find food for cheap that at least gives the thinnest veneer of not trying to be as awful as possible? Do you? No, you’re a shitstain hatemongrel who offers nothing but kicking people who don’t have the priveledge of options in a capitalist hellscape.

Assuming you aren’t one of those hate bots mentioned in a previous post then please quickly and permanently go fuck yourself.

I’ve been fixated on the huge blind spot people have about the 90’s, or anything pre-2000. Pedo, or at the very least the teen version of it, was super acceptable. ‘If there’s grasa on the field, play’ was an incredibly common sentiment, and I think just about any male musical artist(at least the males are easier to find examples of) has at least one instance of sexualizing a minor in the 13-16 range.

ICP has a few. Nirvana has some. Beastie Boys. Pretty sure Green Day had some questionable moments. Just about all hair metal and classic rock. It was like a weird inside joke.

Not entirely clear on what the big turning point is but the disavowals started even before Me Too. Suddenly it became super tasteless to make those same comments and everyone was very suddenly never a person who would say these things.
