> A world war and a socialist-minded president could correct that for a good couple of decades A world war meaning... the death of many / most Americans? That's quite the fantasy there.

US invading Greenland means all US troops in Europe risk getting captured/foxholed in their own military bases. That's 65k permanent staff and 20-35k on rotation. Or 10% of the US military, simply turning PoW (and a huge bargaining chip so early in the conflict). It will also signal to the world that America is no longer world police, which means the Middle East, Japan and Taiwan will once again come under threat. Th…

That's fantasy. I seriously doubt Trump will invade Greenland, but even if so, there will be zero consequences for U.S. forces in Europe. Europe's armed forces are not capable of taking on U.S. troops in Europe.

> i'm not stating to ban it outright. there's always use in it at the long tail of society You might not have any interest in adult entertainment, but that doesn’t mean the industry only exists in the “long tail of society”. The problem with social taboos is rarely a moral one, and usually more that people feel embarrassed or scared to be open and honest. And usually that stems from others being unreasonably judgment…

> The problem with social taboos is rarely a moral one, and usually more that people feel embarrassed or scared to be open and honest. And usually that stems from others being unreasonably judgmental. You're using broad sweeping statements to argue with a point that I'm not even making. First off, you're only assuming I'm making this argument because I don't have an interest in adult entertainment. I just don't belie…

Nobody was suggesting that models should or would talk about adult content at the dinner table. What a weird comparison to make.

My point was literally that it’s a bigger industry than you give credit to because it’s a topic that isn’t generally discussed in polite conversation.

But I don’t think this is a topic we are likely to agree on. So perhaps it’s better to agree to disagree.

Denmark already came off the meeting with Vance, openly stating that the US wants Greenland, and are prepared to invade it if needed.

Europe only needs to encircle and starve them, not fight them.

> why Hollywood became the Earth's center of cultural gravity post-WW2 The reason why Hollywood even exists is because it was a way of escaping the enforcement of patents and royalties. And it is easy being the cultural center of the western world when everything other cultural-relevant city in the western hemisphere is somewhat in ruins. Other than that, the lettering is a racist monument of a bygone era. > You may…

Another reason why US media is so dominant: It has the largest population of any English-majority speaking nation. Another thing: English is the second language for an large portion of people under 40 in the world. I remember when I first learned about the size of the Japenese media market (TV, film, music). It is ENORMOUS. I could not understand how, as 99% of Japanese language speakers live in Japan. Then I realise…

> I doubt it. You should ask her. If she is 10 years or older, she certainly has some favourites. If she has social media, ask her who she follows. I am sure there are a bunch of actors & actresses in her list

16 and nope, she doesnt really care about actors/actresses as she doesnt really follow tv/cinema/streaming; she consumes mostly youtube,f1 and korean stuff. From what I've seen, this is not uncommon.

I am not a lawyer. But OF models using O1 visa is totally fine. It is the intended purpose. The visa itself is meant for researchers, scholars who have job offers, athletes, actors etc. it has no cap and clear criteria. OF models who make a lot of money should totally qualify for this. Also this visa in uncapped so giving visas to OF models does not take away anything from scientists and others. O visa's original int…

Why does someone doing OF need to be in the country? You can upload pictures from anywhere.

I guess they branch out to more traditional porn industry, even if it's not obvious from their profiles?

I thought the reason for this to be a visa is because their fields' activities were in-person (acting in movies/plays/shows, academic life & research, sports training & leagues, etc). A streamer / OF worker is not like that as far as I know (but e-sports is). So this is purely to bring people with money and/or influence, nothing exceptional except the number of 0's.

Just like film work (which it is a kind of, in a sense), any place can be an OF set, but you need a set and, for performances with more than one performer, you generally need the performers at the same set. Physical proximity to both sets that you want to use and other performers who you might do recurring joint performances with seem to have obvious utility.

Filming porn isn't prostitution nor a sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense. Hope this helps.

I think it's naïve to think that these girls are only very strictly selling feet images and are not in the business of having sex for money as well. Especially when you consider the top-heavy success distribution. Sure there's influencers that have 100M views, but theres thousands of influencers with 300 views, are they going to be just happy with selling pictures for 10 bucks? Or will they follow the whales until th…

Beyond the click-bait title, what does this have to do with the article?

I sense that "Korean stuff" contains actors and or actresses
