  • Lol. The most famous straight male porn star to ever live. Ron Jeremy. His dong is legendary.

    Fun fact: He was a background extra in the original Ghostbusters movie, but went unnoticed for a couple decades until the wide-screen release came out on DVD. He was cropped out on the vhs/square tv’s of the 80’s and 90’s, so no one knew he was there.




  • If I sell a million dollars of stock and pay $400k in taxes, I have $600k. If I give away $1,000,000 in unrealized gains I get either nothing, or I can do a tax write off and maybe save like $200k in taxes. Either way I’ll have less than the $600k I would have had. At best it’s a workaround to give several other people working for the “charity” money, but at that point why not just put those people on my own payroll and give them the $600k?







  • I guess I’m “this old”? I remember watching the Berlin wall get smashed on TV, and the collapse of the soviet Union a year or two later. I was a Lil kid in the U.S, so both events meant fuck all to me. I was busy being awesome in my MC Hammer parachute pants.






  • For all the shitty things about missouri, they have voting done up pretty well. 2 hours paid time off required to go vote on election day and anyone can show up like a month ahead of election day to their county clerks office or wherever the counties location is set up to early vote, plus a mail in voter system for people who can’t physically go vote. I already vote a couple weeks ago and it took like 15 minutes.



  • At the same time, “similar works” are protected and allowed as legal. For instance the 5000 spaghetti westerns that exist, or the entire formula for 80’s slasher films. Or Ants and A Bugs Life, or Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down, or Deep Impact and Armageddon.

    So there has to be some sort of line somewhere that’s a cut-off, but it might be hard to find. Musk wanted to use blade runner and was told to fuck off, so he made up his own dystopian Sci fi future scene. He most certainly aimed for the blade runner look, but was it illegal?


  • Apparently, that’s more than a lot of actors do. Marlon Brando, Johnny Depp, and Robert Downey Jr, are all well known for not having their line memorized.

    Brando is best kn9wn for it, as it was no small secret that he read all his lines from the godfather off of cue cards that where shoved anywhere they could be, while not in the cameras view.
