I don’t think that you can make a person into a pedophile, any more than you can make a person gay.

If you really think about it, we’ve seen arguments like that before. That pornography creates rapists. That violent video games creates murderers. And that’s just strictly on the consumption of media.

Yeah, I had a similar experience. I got my phone directly from Samsung, so it’s also likely it might have just been the Carrier that did this.

There is RCS, which supports actually sending decent quality images and stuff, but it only works Android to Android. Android to iOS (although perhaps it’s changed since I last checked) can only do SMS.

Stop watching the high budget movies then. Higher budgets creates higher risks, thus prioritizing methods to getting a return on their investment rather than just what would make the movie better.

Or better yet, just watch the movies that you think look cool and stop worrying about the underlying political mind games of the film industry.

I was under the impression that instead of using an adblocker, they’ve just used a VPN, even before adblockers being blocked, and now it’s stopped working because of these changes.

That’s a oddly specific way to block ads, why not just use a regular adblocker?
