"Porn addiction," like "sex addiction," isn't recognized by the DSM-5, which classifies mental disorders. While porn-viewing can be compulsive, like other behaviors, research suggests that perceived porn addiction predicted distress over actual porn use itself. Yet, the idea of "porn addiction" persists in the U.S., which lacks comprehensive sex education requirements in many states; only 37 percent of states require sex education to be medically accurate, according to Boston University.
What a perfect example of how sexuality is suppressed, controlled, then monetized in the US, and the harm it causes.

What exactly McCarthyism for our times looks like is still in flux. Loomer declined to elaborate when I asked. In my conversations with Bannon, he was enthusiastic about bringing McCarthy into the modern political moment, but vague about the details. Posobiec, though he declined to talk, has been a little more precise. In the 2024 book, Unhumans, he and his co-author, Joshua Lisec, wrote that renewing McCarthyism would mean employing the “humiliation tactic” of “naming and shaming” leftists, and a return to the blacklists of the Red Scare.
This is just more reactionary purity spiral nonsense from people who are paid way too much to invent hyper-inflammatory political sophistry. Ironically, protected speech like this would not be possible in the oppressive government they lazily describe.
The Department of Defense was changed to the Department of War, and its official website: www.war.gov has a front page propaganda piece for Operation Epic Fury, the military designation for the war in Iran.
Trump criticized plans for wars of regime change, and then turned around and did it himself, calling on Iranians to help the US overthrow their government. This is what success looks like to this person.
The supermassive black hole of sheer mendacity here defies description. They seem to be unable to realize that you’re supposed to present a believable lie under which people can operate so that it becomes easier to choose to believe it than not. The Trump regime is composed of people who aren’t even competent fascists, it’s just egotistical chaos somehow still propped up by a 100 years of absurd American success.
Rufus is simple and easy to use for extracting the ISO to a USB drive, and has built in options for setting up a local account and automatically disabling telemetry options during installation.
Microslop is rabidly, desperately, sprinting-on-fire towards a closed mobile-style system paradigm, frothing at the mouth and glowing radioactive iridescent green with envy at Apple and Google’s silicon to application device and software ecosystem control. They want you to purchase the edge tensor hardware they need to run and train the LLMs and machine learning algorithms that will be used to analyze everything you do on your computer, perform deep learning recognition on every photo, video, and file on your hard drive, and securely export that model to themselves, advertisers, and the government at a premium, paid for by our tax dollars.
They’re burning down their own company to do it, that’s how bad they want it.
The law does not require photo ID uploads or facial recognition, with users instead simply self-reporting their age, setting AB 1043 apart from similar laws passed in Texas and Utah that require "commercially reasonable" verification methods, such as government-issued ID checks.
What even is the point of this then? To make shitty parents feel better?
"We expect casualties with something like this," the president said. "We have three, but we expect casualties - but in the end it's going to be a great deal for the world."
He loved to watch people burn, the way their skin blackened and blistered and melted off their bones. He burned lords he didn’t like, he burned Hands who disobeyed him. He burned anyone who was against him. Before long, half the country was against him. Aerys saw traitors everywhere.
Magnetic platter drives still have the highest storage density per dollar and so they are still heavily in use. Theoretically, overwritten data can be recovered from them by analyzing the magnetic fields directly from the platter. However, this is extremely time and money intensive and requires specialized equipment and expertise. Overwriting a partition multiple times severely complicates this process just by performing multiple overwrites.
Realistically, overwriting once with random data is enough, especially if the drive is to be physically destroyed. You can also use a powerful magnet (top end neodymium in direct contact) to scramble the delicate magnetic fields that encode the data on the platter, but at that point you may as well shred the drive anyways.
SSDs are a fundamentally different storage paradigm that make this kind of recovery essentially impossible. Due to the limitations of NAND memory, data can be written to blocks inaccessible except at the hardware level. To make SSDs secure, modern drives usually implement processes (TRIM) that erase blocks marked for deletion. Or, all data written to the drive is encrypted by onboard hardware (SED), and “erasing” the drive simply deletes the encryption keys.
