Brand New Sentence

I saw a guy doing moral outrage that men sometimes goon it crazy style in public.

It's pixels. It's thousands of pixels arranged on a screen that make your imagination see a real person.

When people act like it's indecent I'm always like, "oh no the witch pixels have formed the horny configuration"

Just taking the piss btw, read what you want in public it's a damn book. Stores still sell brown paper bags to use as covers, right?

Like i agree but the argument they present is so bad it almost makes you dissagree 💀

Porn is just pixels so you should have no problem with me watching on the subway with my laptop chuddy

Dogshit argument, I refuse to even evaluate if I agree with the conclusion

People in here comparing looking at porn images in public as if it's comparable to a smutty book. I dunno, man. It would take effort to read someone else's book in order to know what it's even saying. But pulling up a pornographic image doesn't take any work to comprehend. One requires hovering over someone's shoulder, getting in their space, and actively trying to figure out what they're reading. The other requires no more than a glance around.

As far as being appropriate in public, they really can't be compared.

This is fucking stupid. The moral outrage at smut is also stupid, but this is a monumentally idiotic way to argue that point. The Turner Diaries are also 'just letters,' as are the bible, the CIA's 'enhanced interrogation techniques' manual, the 'Letter From a Birmingham Jail,' Romeo & Juliet, Anti-Oedipus, and your friend's suicide note.

I feel like I know how Diogenese would rebut that logic.

It's just four colours of dots arranged to make you imagine Juicy Jugs.

this can be applied to anything

theyre guns theyre a hump of firey metal you need to regulate metal? hahahahahahahaaaaha

When my grandma died, she had like a hundred of those books stashed around the house. Also, vodka in Maalox bottles. It was the first time I found out that grandmas can be freaks too lol

you can read whatever you want and I'm not going to judge you but personally my frame of mind when horny is not something I want to experience in public

with this in mind, by extension I understand the viewpoint of "people should not have that frame of mind in public"

that being said I'm not gonna police anyone, and I also don't care if you're rock hard or gooping down there cause of something you're reading. I would just prefer not to be

any decent witch should know that intent is just as important as the method of casting the spell

She reads romance novels, someone else look at porn. My thought has always been “you prefer words, they prefer pictures, but fundamentally it’s no different”

I feel the same way about people putting nsfw warnings on text posts

Reminds me of this book series called the Laundry Files. It is a unique mix between Men in Black, Lovecraftian Eldritch and Cosmic Horror, and The Office. In it, magic, monsters, interdimensional beings, eldritch gods, etc. are all real, a constant threat, and kept entirely hidden from the public by secret government organizations made up mostly of conscripted engineers, mathematicians, physicists, etc. who unwittingly discovered some deeper aspect of the universe.

See, math and algorithms describe the rules and logic of the universe, and since the universe is actually filled with the occult, sometimes that math actually taps into aspects of the universe they weren't expecting. Some can generate apparent magical effects. Some touch into realms whose inhabitants want released or don't want to be bothered. Some algorithms have the capability of waking the great old ones that will destroy the world.

So those people who get too close to such discoveries, they are quickly taken into custody, made to understand the secret nature and apocalyptic danger of the universe that they have been unknowningly dabbling with, conscripted into service of the highly bureaucratic Laundry Files to help protect the world from it, and bound with magical wards to prevent them from speaking of any of it with anyone outside of the organization.

Applied mathematics and computer science are the magic spells of this universe. The increasing amount of compute in the world is pulling us ever close to the end of the universe. It's a problem. But also, Susan in finance won't approve a new coffe maker in the break room and a Succubus is your new supervisor. That's the vibe this series brings. I love it.

The cover shows a man embracing a woman!
