Stages of grief. Most are just getting to denial.

My 90 year old grandma has moved onto bargaining. She’s trying to write a letter to DJT to “warn him about Musk”

Not bad progress, considering I couldn’t get her to budge at all over the past decade.

… until THEY lose their job to the Trumpcession.

Difference is that Trump Term 1 didn’t really impose a cost on them directly. And so far, the idea of hardship sounds alright.

But when they are dumped to the curb at age 66 with social security cuts, half the 401k they thought they had, and even Walmart ain’t hiring…

Other way around:

Sites that COMPLY with laws and exit the state leave behind sites that do not comply.

The sites you CAN reach in Texas are more likely to have trafficking victims and underage participants – because those sites clearly don’t give a hoot about laws.

Texas drove away the wrong sites!

Yes. They want “small government” when the law affects them, but “law and order” when it punishes someone else who annoys them.

It’s childishness we’ve come to be accustomed to, thanks to lead-brained 70-year-olds who are falling into legit cognitive decline… but still have the numbers to be a formidable opponent at the polls on election day.

Also, their dicks don’t work anymore without a blue pill, so they may as well take away the consensual naked fun of Gen X, Millennial, and Gen Z (18+) people right?

What’s worse: Reputable sites that comply with U.S. laws (such as participants being 18+ and filming of their own free will) are effectively forced out, while questionable site carry on.

The likelyhood of seeing abuse victims or underage in Texas goes up, not down.

If they truly cared about protecting minors, they’d see the flaw in their law and rectify it. Of course, we all know (not through cynicism but cold repeated behavior) that political conservatives do not care about minors and care far more about punishing consenting adults.

This law is a step toward the latter.

At this point, it’s just a temper tantrum.

Democrats are the “annoying older brother” and anything they want is “stupid.”

Lead poisoning (gasoline) really ruined a generation.

“This is your Performance! How many megs of RAM, Carmine?”

Until governments ban private jet travel, we just won’t see serious public support. People struggling economically will fight back against taking on the brunt of the cuts.

Nobody actually wants to cut their carbon footprint, including well-meaning wealthy who advocate for change.

We’re collectively in a heartbreaking devastating mess.

Wait until they see “Smoke Hub” in Bakersfield, CA.

It’s literally the porn hub logo.

Yep. Disney+ (for now).

Netflix, HBO, and Hulu gradually cancelled over the last few years.

What’s stupid of them is that if they’d stayed around $8-10/mo each (ad-free), I probably would have stayed subscribed forever. Now they each get nothing.
