I’m not sure how they’ll make money. Their entire previous business model was porn and fishmech.

this will be a huge step toward profitability because their userbase will drop 90% but the hosting bill will drop 99.9%

Tumblr was a magical once-in-a-lifetime machine for redistributing stupid VC money into billions of jizz-soaked tissues but we all knew it couldn't last

So the republican's in Wisconsin are taking their loss very badly. They're very blatently trying to kneecap their incoming democrat Governor and Attorney General. They're also trying to remake the primary system and substantially reduce early voting. Its real bad if this bill passes.

Yeah gently caress these cocks who have a stranglehold on my state. 46% of the vote and 60%+ legislative seats due to gerrymandering. I can’t WAIT for them to be in the political minority so we can tell them to gently caress off in the corner.

Yea, some strains give you a body high, others give you a head high, and some just keep you on the level and high functioning. It’s all about product potency, dosing, tolerance, and strains of cannabis.

Before I gave up weed for school, I found that without a few rips of Hash in the morning would leave me tired as poo poo by lunch time. Rip a few bong hits in the A.M. and I’m magically good the rest of the day.

YMMV.

Problems look mighty small from 150 miles up.

We've got a bunch of out-of-town govvies flying in for a TEM this week and the rollout of Trump's federal holiday announcement was so hosed up (it was 'officially' announced Saturday morning) that most didn't learn about it until they already arrived late last night/this morning to find out the whole thing has been cancelled.

The Brands got annoyed that there was so much porn on the website that people definitely go to to interact with Brands and not jerk off to niche porn so management decided to get rid of what drives supposedly over 50% of their user traffic.

Anywhere in Manchester UK on a friday night. You actually got me to look, there is surprisingly little of it on the net, which is weirdo as most of the gay dudes I know are bears. Who knew.

Business opportunity there.

Apple kicked them off iOS for being unable to control the vast amounts of child pornography shared on their service. Looks like they've decided to implement a blanket ban on pornography instead of hiring people to deal with it.

That's just absolutely hilarious because if they had done any due diligence before buying it they would have seen what the overwhelming bulk of their traffic was about. I mean not the CP stuff that's hella gross and wrong obviously, but I mean like the regular (and ten million not-so-regular) porn pages should have been obvious.

I mean, they probably were aware of that but they couldn't solve the problem with ~an algorithm~ and hiring employees is completely unpalatable for any truly modern tech company so their hands were basically tied.

Internet companies don't do this explicitly. Else none of them could start up in the first place.

Due diligence would cost money and hurt the bottom line. Hiring people to perform due diligence checks would also hurt share holder value. Employing actual humans to moderate your product increases payroll and decreases ad revenue and therefore is absolutely verboten.

tumblr banning porn (in their words one of the restrictions is anything including any female presenting nipple) is a net bad because a lot of the queer/gay erotica and porn that most of us don't really care about comes from there and for better or worse it's been a meeting place for people who want to explore their sexuality that isn't dominated by mainstream male dominated porn
