My friend, one does not live in such a place, one merely exists.

As luck would have it, though, when pizza is on a bagel, you can have pizza anytime. So, ya know, at least they won't starve... They'll just be incredibly malnourished as a result of their structurally imposed dietary restrictions.

Well, if that wouldn't be several thousand problems solving themselves...

What kind of projector do you have?

See, I was wondering that myself, as my bluetooth keyboard is just some cheap little no-name hunk of junk I got from Amazon... But when I tried it (in several programs) on my laptop I didn't have any issues, and even in a few different apps on the same phone I wasn't able to reproduce it either. What version of Android are you using? I'm actually on an A21, so it stands to reason to me that if it works for you then I should be able to get it working as well... Right? Lol

What is that option under? I swear I've seen something similar before, because I actually went looking for it initially, but the only place I could think of that I would find it was the bluetooth settings page for the keyboard itself, and all I have there is this:

I just don't see how actually showing me a character's genitals serves any more of a purpose than perhaps tastefully implying (through cutaways, for example) that the characters are having sex other than pure titillation... And there is clearly a vast sea of content designed specifically for that, so I don't really care for media that goes out of its way to be graphic if that isn't its express purpose.

Additionally, to be perfectly honest, I don't really know how anyone can view a lot of these sex scenes in a positive light post-#metoo movement either. Maybe I'm just an idiot or a prude or something, but I have a lot of difficulty believing that every single nude/sex scene that's come out of Hollywood has been completely free of some variety of impropriety or, at the very least, coercion. And that by itself is enough to strip away whatever merit you might argue the scene could have.

I haaaate this shit, and have since I was a kid. I actually recently had a discussion with my gf (both of us in our 30s) along these lines, though I more specifically asked her if she could think of a scene in any media in which the story just absolutely could not move forward without one of those stupid, bawdy, explicit sex scenes, and neither of us could think of one.

Because they can afford to buy legislators and we can't
