Because Visa and MasterCard might actually change their minds. They are a business and they don't want this shit if it becomes more annoying to deal with gamers than it is to deal with random whiny Australians they'll reverse their decision.

Trump on the other hand is made of his mind and that's the end of it. Obviously you should still continue to complain because it's hilarious how upset he gets about it, but that list is never seeing the light of day until he's out of office, one way or another.

That's also why in the middle of the previous century propaganda was mostly aimed at women. That's killing two birds with one stone.

There's always a gap between "Someone should do something about this" and "I should do something about this".

Once that line gets crossed, plans like OP's post start.

I like the story but hate the fact it's all in separate tweets.

If anyone has the GPUs to self-host LLMs to spam the shit out of them, it's gamers. Gotta get on an easy-to-self-host project to distribute to the community

They just wasted your time too with their strung out story. They're in too deep!

you can probably use the tts tools from hume.ai

It’s impressive how much people get riled up about not getting porn.
I don’t blame them but I also don’t see this as activism, I doubt anyone really spending the time on this cares about possible future censorship that others who are not them may face, they just want to buy their porn.

• UK would like to disagree.
• France would like to disagree.

This is not about the porn. If you think about it for more than 3 seconds it becomes obvious how this is about the power finance institutions have over morals and society and how religious groups leverage moral panics as a way to weasel in harm and destroy minorities by associating immorality with marginalized groups. Just like pro-life anti choice has nothing to do with saving children, but is about hurting women and controlling their uteruses. Terfism has nothing to do with feminism but is about hurting trans people. Drug wars weren't about protecting the youth but about destroying the rights of Hispanic and black communities. And a long list of etcéteras.

This is about defending fundamental rights that will get trampled under the guise of moral and religious righteousness. It's about power and control. Porn is just the scapegoat. Several LGBTQ+ games were also hit, many which didn't even have anything to do with sex, just because of this incident. That's how it begins and it was completely intentional, the cruelty is the point.

Lol I'm on the visa line with Visa now, they have a prepared statement about this.

They are trying to say they only ever block purchases unless it's illegal.

They explicitly said they DO NOT moderate purchases unless it is illegal multiple times. I kept challenging her and saying it's not illegal, yet they moderate, but she told me she can only read the prepared statement and repeated it multiple times. She then told me I would have to email them to "share my perspective" and then hung up on me.

Getting downvoted for wanting people to advocate for better living conditions, way to go .world!

Our priorities are showing.

I love how facts are just rendered to perspectives now.

I just sum it up to a failure of capitalism . The fact that two companies have so much power over this without having to pass any laws or legislation is really the worrying part.
I just hope people continue to fight even after this one thing is resolved. Otherwise it will happen again because that’s how capitalism works

Hell, internet chemist here, I can say with certainty that they is chemicals...

Unless you're a family with a free energy being background?

Given the reactions at Thanksgiving, I think some may be antimatter

Maybe you should call and stop pay with their services

It's a common tactic of fascists. If you point blank refuse to accept reality and just keep repeating the same lie over and over maybe people will believe it. Of course it doesn't really work. The people that were going to believe you already believe you, and the people who don't believe you, will never believe you. Sadly despite the fact that it doesn't work, they keep doing it.

I don't want Christians dictating what I can and cannot do.
