Forest porn is essentially porn magazines that were abandoned. They typically get thrown away in forests, behind sheds, in dumpsters, etc. I have a lot of fond memories of looking at these with my friends. There was this 'catwalk' between two houses and in the middle was a large electrical utility box, more than once, porn was found behind this.

In a closet in a hallway in a college dorm.
The janitor found it shoved into a closet in the hallway. He liked it, but didn't want to bring it home because his wife would kill him. He offered it to me and I took it. It was in good condition (no sticky pages or anything weird like that). I still have it. Not sure if I can mention the name of the mag here, but it's a pretty well known mag (not one of the top three selling mags, but a top five selling mag that's still published in physical magazine form even today).

I get what you saying, but I STRONGLY stand behind using a wellness check from the cops as an absolute last resort. One should actually try KNOCKING on their door or CALLING (if they can) and understanding that they might NOT answer because they are busy with something (toilet, shower, nap, movie, porn, they might even be too busy looking through Gamefaqs on an FAQ for an old King's Quest game from 1984 which is pissing them off, etc). But if you come back at a later time and knock / call, they might eventually pick up/ open up.

And that's assuming the person isn't ghosting the other person for whatever reason (it might be a permanent ghosting where they refuse to talk to that person ever again, or it could be a temporary ghosting because one person needs sometime alone and needs a break from people in general but will in the future reconnect with everyone).

Calling the cops for a wellness check should be used as an absolute last resort and it's something that is NOT needed 99% of the time. I'm not 100% against it since there are special circumstances where it might be needed, but it should be used as an absolute last resort under a desperate situation.A lot of people freak the fuck out when they hear someone bursting through their door and might not know it's the cops if they are in their bedroom taking a nap and that's when major problems can occur (as already gone over in this topic).

^THIS.
On a side note, the earlier King's Quest games from the 1980's are fucking brutal. Forgetting to pick up an item early in the game can fuck you over late in the game in a permanent way to the point where you have to restart the entire game.

No, but many years ago there was this 9th grade psychopath that would throw a lit match or something that caused fire inside toilet stalls whenever anyone was inside a bathroom stall. For obvious reasons, everyone at the school didn't like this (especially when a few people's clothes caught on fire. Stop, drop and roll truly comes in handy under those conditions... as well as having water faucets nearby). Despite him beating the shit out of people and telling them not to talk (his way of putting out fires was that he had caused was literally stomping his victims after they ran out of the bathroom stall, sometimes with parts of their clothes on fire), people still talked because no one wanted another student, or the entire school, to burn to the ground. He was expelled (I'm assuming he was put in juvi) and never seen again. Hopefully he's in prison these days, away from everyone else.

Damn I was tricked by a porn video that claimed to be new but the actress is clearly from her younger days. Why they do this

There has been a bit of a porn star shortage ever since the pandemic started. While new pornstars still continue to emerge (I think they are starting to pick up more now), it's still not enough new material (I think a lot of girls would rather independently set up a cam show online and do everything from their own home rather than being flown out to California or Florida to some studio) so some of the porn companies are recycling their old stock and trying it pass it off as new (some of them have even managed to find "lost footage" they never used and are trying to make new videos out of those). It's very annoying finding something "new" only to find out it's stuff that was shot years ago.

See this is why zoomers shouldn't be allowed to use the internet. They took the hub storylines way too seriously.

Not our problem.

@flauros

Sadly, it is our problem (the U.S and UK made an official promise many years ago which is in writing. Russia, under former Russian President Boris Yeltsin, also agreed to this promise on behalf of Russia, which in in writing where Russia will NEVER invade Ukraine. In exchange, Ukraine promised to give up their nuclear weapons (their only primary means of defense against Russia), which they did. Putin is now very close to violating the Russian side of the agreement, which is in writing. The U.S and UK have agreed to help defend Ukraine if Russia or anyone else tries to invade Ukraine, it's in writing. It's all a giant contract / agreement which all of these countries agreed on many years ago. Anyone violating the agreement, which is in writing, will have very serious consequences thrown at them).

@VigorouslySwish
@Tyranthraxus

While Ukraine is former USSR territory, there are financial reasons they are trying to go after it instead of going after the other former USSR countries (they wouldn't be going after Ukraine if it were worthless):

Ukraine exports mainly steel, coal, fuel and petroleum products, chemicals, machinery and transport equipment and grains like barley, corn and wheat. More than 60% of the exports goes to other former Soviet Republics countries with Russia, Kazkhstan and Belarus being the most important. Others include Turkey and China.

Also someone was telling me Russia would gain several very important ports or something of that nature that they very much want by taking Ukraine.

@CADE_FOSTER

This is what a lot of people are afraid of.
A financial reason (and it's a HUGE financial reason) China wants Taiwan is because Taiwan is the # 1 producer of the more important computer chips on the planet. If China takes Taiwan, it's a huge financial gain for China but the chip shortage is going to get dangerously worse for the rest of the world.

Even worse scenario is if North Korea sees China take Taiwan and Russia take Ukraine, North Korea (which is in VERY serious need of financial gains) will go after South Korea. South Korea is the # 2 biggest producer of computer chips in the world (Samsung is one of the companies that produces very important chips there). If North Korea decides to do this, their army would easily destroy the South Korean army (honestly, North Korea has enough impressive weaponry in comparison to South Korea to the point where they arguably don't even have to send land troops to win). Taiwan and South Korea have a near monopoly on production of the most important computer chips in the world. If China and North Korea takes them, the entire rest of the world are screwed for many, many, MANY reasons.

Of course, all of this is just worst case scenario.
Most likely nothing will happen and no one will start any wars and everything will eventually go back to normal.

IF the worst case scenario happens, this is sadly happening.
Hopefully nothing happens and everyone is just "flexing their muscles for show."

Lol wut. I mean NK has a great army, but SK literally has enough tech and allies to fight without having to deal with a single person. NK's invasion hasn't been truly viable since ages ago, and it's not like SK ever stopped their military service. Thinking that chain of events will happen is pretty out of touch and out the ass tbh. China also already deems as having taken Taiwan. They just think we're the ones in denial wtf. I can't even with that post

China does NOT have Taiwan.
For propaganda purposes, they will say Taiwan is already in their possession.
In reality, Taiwan does NOT belong to them and this is something that is bothering them greatly.
Also,
South Korea won't have any allies available if everyone else is fighting China and Russia. Also, some months ago North Korea proclaimed they are building their "invincible army". They aren't kidding since they unveiled some brand new weaponry that would make it very easy to take South Korea down. This isn't good. It's also not helping that the North Korean army is absolutely fanatical. South Korea vs North Korea would be the like a casual Street Fighter tournament fighter trying to fight a Street Fighter tournament fighter who doesn't leave their parent's basement and plays and studies Street Fighter almost 24 / 7 while using some super fancy Hori arcade stick. North Korea will win. Not immediately (South Korea will definitely put up a nasty fight), but North Korea will win in the end.

Look at this crazy shit (this is only the stuff they are presenting, they have a lot more they aren't showing and are keeping a secret for tactical reasons):

Or they died.

This has legit happened.

Dingydang166 posted...

Twice now this has happened to me and when I searched them they were both dead.

Same, but probably more than twice.
One was Dakota Skye (she had several emotional meltdowns throughout 2021 which ended with her self deleting herself). Damn shame because I met her during 2018 at a convention and she was incredibly nice to me and she provided some nice conversation.

Another was August Ames.
I never met her but she was really awesome. She self-deleted herself a couple of years back.

Another was Anastasia Knight.
She ALLEGEDLY died. I say allegedly because many have reported she's not dead, she just fled with her baby to another state or country to get the hell away from someone. I honestly believe she's alive, but in permanent hiding.

Then there are the ones that ended up in prison.

Marsha May ended up in prison after violating her parole.

Farrah Valentine (Paisely Pepper) got into a shit load of legal trouble, in and out of jail several times. She's blacklisted from 99% of the industry after all the crazy shit she did. She's back out, but probably not for long.

Granted,
There are happy endings.
Most pornstars end up having happy endings (of the Disney type, NOT the other type. LOL).

Sasha Grey ended up having a nice POST-porn life. She even read to elementary kids in a classroom.

Then there are the lifers.
Pornstars like Reilly Reid are never leaving porn.
She's staying in for life.

On a side note,
Some pornstars leave the pro industry and go into business for themselves.
Emily Grey has been highly successful doing this with her own cam show stuff.

Before social media, for sure.

I remember MySpace.
MySpace was AWESOME from 2004 to 2008.
It was great.
Myspace's Tom was a much better friend than Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg.

Now
There's more porn available now than there has ever been. At 4k resolution! Not that blurry shit we used to watch when we were kids.

PoopPotato posted...

On a 33K modem, photos loaded in chunks. It was an event to look at porn, lol. You had to get some mountain dew, wait for the rest of the house to fall asleep, stay up until 2 am watching whatever MTV happened to have on or some goofy movie on Sci fi channel, then save an entire image gallery to a floppy disk. Oh wait, it can only hold six jpegs? Better choose your favorite images, that's all you get for a week or two lol

I was watching porn in 4K VR the other day. Not just 4K, but 4K VR... it looks REAL. I've heard they have 8K VR porn now. I can only imagine how that looks considering how life like the 4K VR stuff is.
Anyway, during the late 90's (1998 - 1999) I discovered porn on the internet. I would find pics... that would load SLOWLY... freaking SLOWLY... Three minutes in you fully see the woman's head / face... then it SLOWLY starts to load the rest of the pic... SLOWLY... very SLOWLY... that was freaking painful. It was like watching a slow as hell strip tease which takes forever. LOL.

1995 till 2005 = The Golden Age.

Why 1995 as the starting point? A few reasons:

1) Explaining what the hell the internet was became mainstream during 1995 when channels like MTV and ABC and others started explaining there is this thing called the internet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NIPGmziNG0

2) AOL (America Online) started advertising on major channels during 1995. This is one of their commercials on TNT during 1995:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1npzZu83AfU

3) Xband (while introduced during November 1994, it starts to truly ripple by 1995. It remained permanently niche, but it became the first significant ONLINE multiplayer network for gamers with a Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo during 1995. It even had X-mail, which was their version of e-mail).

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/5/2/AAMsTmAACxHM.jpg

4) During 1995, EGM (Electronics Gaming Monthly - one of the top video game magazines) started telling people about their new website called NUKE (which becomes a success by 1995 internet standards):

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/5/3/AAMsTmAACxHN.jpg

5) The success of Nuke would lead to other video game websites showing up.
One of them would be a website known as the Video Game FAQ Archive during November 1995:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/8/4/AAcOiaAABlKw.jpg

and then...
During September 1996...
The website would be renamed as...
GameFAQS (and it's still around during 2022...you are on that website right now!!)

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/5/5/AAMsTmAACxHP.jpg

The Golden Age of the internet began during 1995 and would end by the end of 2005.
2006 is the beginning of the Silver age of the internet. While Youtube was created during 2005, it would truly start to ripple beginning 2006 and that's the start of the Silver age, which ends around the year 2016.
2017 is the start of the DARK age of the internet when Twitter (which was created years earlier) begins to grow dark and INSANE in a very bad way and that insanity starts to slowly spread in a dangerous way to other websites...
