  • I have been worried about this for months. The moment of clarity for me came when I was looking up how to tan a hide fur off. I have done fur on and seen a dozen videos on it so I knew what I was looking at. Found this great looking site. Step by step. As I’m reading, something seems off. Maybe translation issues? The order here seems… Repeatative?

    Then I look at the pictures.

    First picture showed a hide being made into a drum. Ok, not exactly what I’m doing but yeah maybe similar process… Next picture is of a dudes abs, with a tan line… (Tanning the hide)

    Next picture is a head table for a wedding… (Decorating)

    It was surreal. And it is surreal. We are now returning to a time when we can’t access information easily. Not because it isn’t there, but because it’s crowded by misinformation and half information.







  • I agree with you when you say “it’s who you are”.

    Do you not see a situation where someone is born and believes themselves gay (the reasons why they would think this are numerous, almost as numerous as the countless reasons people think they are straight growing up) and then after living as a gay person they come to understand themselves better and recognise that they are actually fairly straight?

    I’m not saying that’s what’s going on here, it sounds very sad and basically someone just heading back to the closet to avoid shitty people and shitty society. But questioning someone who says they are straight, or gay or bi or enby or ace or whatever, is flawed. They may be lieing, they may be confused, hiding, virtue signalling. But you don’t get to call them bi just because they said and behaved as if they were gay and now say and behaving as if they are not. Someone who used to have sex and now says they are ace isn’t lying, or wrong or akchewally…

    I don’t want this to come off as hostile, I get why you are asking. It’s a complex topic and I might be wrong.

    I think I’m explaining myself alright, but I’m open to discussion





  • " Some of this piracy (and make no mistake, that’s what it is) "

    Says who? What authority does this writer have to declare blurry, poor audio quality shakey cam video of a movie theatre screen with dozens of people singing in the foreground “piracy”?

    From my perspective, piracy would be taking and selling (or personally viewing in place of paying and viewing) something someone else made. None of these videos are meant to replace seeing the movie, nor will they.

    I cannot wait to see Wicked, I’ve seen the musical 4 times in my life. Except there is no way I’m going to watch a movie in a theatre setting with other randos singing or generally being shitty people.

    Am I cobbling together all the tictoc clips and watching that? No. Because that’s not the product they are selling. I’ll wait for it to come out on streaming.

    These videos are not piracy.
