  I watched it for the first time last year without knowing anything about it and, as someone who loves to nerd out about anything linguistics related (am translator, for context), I cannot describe how gleeful I was that such subjects had center focus in a big blockbuster like that. Obviously the other aspects of the movie were amazing as well and the story got me very emotional by the end, but I will never shut up about how interesting and important that translation/communication aspect of the movie was.

  I’ve had a lot of different setups over the years on my TV to see if my family (all “what’s a computer?” level of computer illiterate) and the one that clicked for all of them was Stremio+torrentio. Pop in a debrid service to avoid downtime/buffering issues and they’ve never complained nice.

  Really really useful for finding horror movies that aren’t jumpscare fests. Even if it’s tagged as having jumpscares there are usually comments clarifying the amount and/or frequency and when to expect them, which I really appreciate.

  Even on sites like that you can’t get everything, since it depends on subscribers actually sharing accounts and not all creators will have those. Trust me, I’ve really scoured the internet for certain creators’ content and it’s just not out there.

  Also there are sites beyond OF, a lot actually. There’s just no way to get everything you want easily if you’re into certain stuff/creators.

  I get that you find no value in porn regardless of type so you wouldn’t pay for it, which is fine, the majority of people don’t see the need to pay for porn either, but at least understand some people do find value in the content they like, enough to support it. It’s like subscribing to a youtuber’s patreon, their content is still free for everyone but some still want to financially help them.

  You really can’t get all paid content for free. Actually most paid content you won’t find for free. It’s not that easy.

  Sure if they’re a popular OF creator someone will likely be ripping their stuff but that dries up really quickly when you get to creators with like only a hundred patrons.

  The more niche you get the harder it is to find new content for free (pirated or not). That’s why people pay for it, they like the content and there’s no other way to obtain it (and they want to support the creation of it obviously).

  You literally get nothing special from paying for porn.

  You literally get the most special content by paying for porn, personalized content that’s catered to your needs. That’s literally why you pay for it.

  Yes, if I just want to see regular old sex K can just go to one of the bazillion free sites out there. But if I have a specific fetish that only a few creators are doing, of course it’s worth paying for it to support the production of said content, especially if their onlyfans allows requests.

  I totally understand that the vast majority of people are more than satisfied with typical porn and won’t ever feel the need to pay for it, but there’s so much diversity out there that the regular porn sites can’t get to it all, and that’s why some people pay for it, because they really want to scratch a specific itch.

  Digimon cyber sleuth. I guess it really depends in what position I would be in in the world but overall it seems like a jackpot. I get to capture and battle with digimons and there’s an actual virtual reality world to travel to. Sweet.

  Why don’t the banks do this?

  Both of my banks allow unlimited virtual card creation. I think it just depends on where you live.
