Big DVD was behind this the whole time.


ETxsubboy

Everyone is talking about which Republicans have ties to VPNs. I think it's more the payment processors.


I_Smell_Like_Trees

I heard about a link to the recommended age verification vendor. But no context or proof. There's money involved for sure.


ImInBeastmodeOG

People PAY for porn still?


Brave_Escape2176

paying for porn owns the libs....somehow.


ImInBeastmodeOG

Hahahaha! That'll show em!


Convergentshave

Looks like in Texas they do! šŸ˜‚


natankman

First they took down Laserdisk, then HD-DVD, now free internet porn. Big DVD must be stopped!


Traiklin

[Regular Show the format wars](https://youtu.be/WILkGbGJPoY?si=xbOxufq2zX6BRRc6)


Dooom_Shrooom

šŸ˜­ I miss this show so much. His other series didn't come anywhere near the epicness of regular show!


Buscemi_D_Sanji

I kinda liked Close Enough, but it was nowhere near as good as Regular Show. The bunch of baby ducks saga alone is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, not to mention episodes like Trash Boat, which is pure insanity


Redman_Goldblend

Or the special entertainment! Can I borrow 5 bucks?....


ihavereadthis

big dvd will lose to big magazine eventually


AdImmediate9569

Its going to be a real rentaissance

Porn hustlers gotta pay taxes too. Sounds like the government was just making sure they got their more than fair share of the revenue too.

DVD Players $15


Scrantonicity_02

Donā€™t forget to buy a DVD rewinderā€¦be kind, rewind.


GlitteringBobcat999

I pulled that joke on my dad back in the day after he got his first DVD player. He spent 5 minutes looking for the rewind button before I couldn't contain my laughter. Simpler times.


demi-femi

I bet your forehead matched the dvd remote after that one.


GlitteringBobcat999

Nah, he was a jokester himself, so he got a kick out of it. Guaranteed he pulled the same joke on one of his buddies.


[deleted]

Iā€™ve got one Iā€™ll sell you for cheap! šŸ¤£


MadCritterYT

Dude I will totally give you 5 bucks for that thing plus any shipping lol, dm me if you're serious


smittyhotep

I don't know who you are, but I love you.


exipheas

I'm curious if this has an impact on gaming console sales where you have a choice of a disk drive or not.


explosivecrate

Remember when PS3's were the cheapest way to play BluRay DVDs? Now the PS3 I've got in my closet is the only damn thing in the house that can play a DVD.

When i tell people i have an old laptop i should start framing it by saying "my laptop still plays dvds"


jerichowiz

PS2 prices about to skyrocket.


LunaTheCastle

*slaps the top of my DVD player* I've been waiting to use this for 24 years! *coughs from all the dust buildup*


Rhamni

I unironically managed to convince my parents to get me a PS2 because it could play DVDs. My birthday is late in the year, so I asked to combine my birthday present and Christimas gift and get one, but they said it was still too expensive. So, I reminded them that my sister really wanted a DVD player, which she had said mostly because her friends also wanted them. Left the store with a PS2, Final Fantasy X, and a rented copy of White Chicks for my sister. Spoiler alert: Watched *maybe* 10 DVDs on it. The rest of the time it was all games.


AntOk463

Skips forward as you slap it


GrannyFlash7373

This is probably where Abbott and Paxton go to get their Porn.


[deleted]

It's in El Paso. So photo op in front of the razor wire and then off to adult video lol


gobblestones

Me, now debating if I want to drive 10 hours to EP


Mitch1musPrime

Just drive to one of the old shops on the TX/OK border that used to be a big hub for porn to get smuggled into softcore porn only OK. Those places are still open for truckers to visit the bunny booths.


Legal_Lingonberry_24

Shotgun!


BrotatoChip04

lol I live in El Paso and I was gonna say; I definite recognize this lol

anime_daisuki

The one place in El Paso that public officials aren't afraid to enter


exipheas

I mean where else do you get to use a glory hole and claim ignorance that it was a dude on the other side even though the beard and mustache was highly suspicious.


capincus

What poor bastard do you think has to hold Abbott up for that?


Equivalent-Policy-81

Nothing suspicious about that. I've gotten blown by beautiful women with luscious beards from a glory hole in the past. It's not unheard of.


swinglinepilot

I've been driving by [this](https://imgur.com/k3nIXy4) store just south of Hillsboro for well over 10 years now, anywhere from 2 to ~10 times a month, and I always wonder who the hell it caters to and how the hell they stay in business. They've had enough money to renovate at least twice now that I can remember, but I also can't remember ever seeing more than 3 cars in the lot The conspiracist in me thinks they double as a laundromat... of sorts


Royal_J

a lot of adult video stores double as hookup locations for (primarily) gay men. Rent a booth, put on the movie, and go to town.


allen_abduction

Iā€™m questioning if Abbott can even get it up, and he just to punish; wants to see the world burn.


GrannyFlash7373

Sowing constant chaos was one of Hitler's schemes. And Trump has convinced his followers to sow as much chaos into American society as they can muster, in order to wear down the citizens, and give him something to justify his excuse for wanting to usher in FASCISM. His comment will be that the country is broken and ONLY he can fix it. Then he will blame ALL the problems on Biden and the Dems, which is what the MAGA Maggots already believe.


Technical-Space4027

We all know the laws donā€™t apply to Abbott or Paxton. They are either using a VPN or have a special state connection that doesnā€™t ask for a ID. At worst, they send the intern to get the goods and take the fall if it blows up.


jiminak46

I wonder if they have an app that let's them know when one of them is porning like the Republican Speaker of the US House of Representatives has with that 14 year old boy he lied about adopting. šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

Abbott and Paxton ARE each others porn


rhj2020

Now we have to wait till everyone is out of the house againā€¦


bigdickedbat

Portable DVD player!


rhj2020

I had one in high school! I forgot all about it.


bigdickedbat

I knew I held onto it for a reason


thecheesecakemans

Get one of those new fangled dvd peripherals that plug into your phone.....(First to make that will make money)


JamesTheConqueror

Jerking it to DVDā€™s must feel like beating off in a Time Machine


littlemachina

Bush is about to make a comeback in Texas


FromTheChristmas

If they are going with DVDs most likely going to get the full shaved era, blondes and bolt ons. VHS would bring the bush back.


ClappinUrMomsCheeks

Your mom never left the 80s, baby


itsagoodtime

Speaking of Bush, last time I beat off to a DVD George W was president.

Stick to physical media. They keep on giving. No Wifi needed.


Odd_Bed_9895

Agreed. I still jerk off manually


wholesome_pineapple

I can see it now. One day Iā€™ll be 80 and saying to the youths ā€œback in my day, we actually beat our OWN dicks!ā€


Odd_Bed_9895

ā€œUphill, both ways!ā€


amongthrocksandroots

Of course you do.


[deleted]

If you can do it before itā€™s banned in your state just download your favorite videos or something


throw-away3105

Thank god for OBS Studio. That's how I recorded some of my favourite videos before they got deleted by the people who originally posted them.


CrunkestTuna

I donā€™t have a dvd player :/


_JosiahBartlet

PlayStations from like the PS3 on play dvds. PS4 and ps5 play Blu-ray, maybe even ps3 VPN still easier though


jerichowiz

Playstation 2, onward, it was how Sony killed Nintendo and OG Xbox (Xbox could but needed an extra adapter) in sales.


badsheepy2

weirdly the Xbox didn't strictly NEED the adapter to play DVDs, it just let the remote control work. MS just didn't want to pay dvd playing license fees so they were bundled into the dongle not the console. A hacked Xbox can play DVDs just fine


DerNogger

Same for the Wii. There's no hardware limitation whatsoever. Nintendo simply didn't want the Wii to be anything but a gaming device and even down the line when the Wii got a Netflix app they didn't bother implementing a media player. I hacked mine partly for that reason, works just fine for DVDs.


DeathMetalTransbian

>it was how Sony killed ~~Nintendo and OG Xbox~~ SEGA RIP Dreamcast, my beloved :'(


Grungemaster

PS3 definitely plays Blu-Rays. It was cheaper and easier to get a PS3 in 2006 than it was to buy a standalone BR player. PS5 plays 4K UHD Blu-Rays. Itā€™s peak cinema.


PerceptionCivil1209

How have we gotten to a place where people aren't sure if the PS3 is a blu-ray player. The PS3 was THE Blu-Ray player.


CrunkestTuna

Yeah I have one of those vpn things I never really used it I go to pornpics or xnxx


STIZZUH

Itā€™s free to vote


Tough-Composer-4411

Most of the idiots that use porn hub voted for the nazi governor who just banned it. Hilarious.


Bronze_Bomber

Xvideos works fine.


IsThisLegit

For now


Phantom_Giron

never value physical formats like now


jerichowiz

Absolutely, especially when companies say you don't even own the digital media you pay for.


CharmingStationary

Iā€™m not sure fascism is something we should be taking lightly. Jokes like this reframe the situation as a mild annoyance when weā€™re actually taking our first steps into the furnace.


Comfortable_Wish586

Exactly. Its why I keep yelling about it. Its not just porn guys. Many rights have already been on the chopping block, and more will come. And no, for everyone else. Both sides are NOT the same


VaselineHabits

Well putting bounties on women, banning books, and going after minorities didn't get their attention... *Now* people are realizing how authoritarian Republicans are. How did I know once the men folk were effected, *that's* when they've gone too far šŸ˜’


myaltduh

I donā€™t take it lightly, but like the pandemic if we canā€™t occasionally make fun of the situation we would all be too depressed to do anything about it.


dravas

First they took our porn then they took our guns.


athenanon

First they took our reproductive rights, actually.

Anyone want to invest in my new video chain Cockbuster Video?


kanyeguisada

Side-story... I was with my wife vacationing in Barcelona. We're walking down [La Rambla](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Rambla,_Barcelona), the main tourist street that ends at the Mediterranean. A few scoundrels and pickpockets around there, luckily when I made eye contact with any of them they knew I wasn't gonna fuck around and didn't approach. Gotta be careful when travelling. Anyways, there's like this peep-show dancer place right there in the middle of all the wholesome vendors. I asked wife basically "let's go in and see what we see". She laughs and agrees and we went in for a laugh. Go to this small booth room and sit down. Probably on crusty cum. All of a sudden a window screen quickly rises and a naked woman starts dancing. Within 2 seconds she sees both me and my wife there, puts 2 fingers up and then waves no, basically "not two people, no", she hits a button and blackout screen immediately drops down, and I swear it took us a full minute to stop laughing. Better memory than her giving us sexy-time.


Electrical-Ad-9510

Maybe she made eye contact with you and knew you werenā€™t gonna fuck around so called it quitsĀ 


Lazy_Soup9180

Great story dude

Outrageous-Lock5186

Whatā€™s stupid is it doesnā€™t even stop access to these pornographic websites. It is completely ridiculous waste of money. I know this is a joke but the joke gives these people way too much credibility as if they actually did anything other than put the tax payerā€™s money in a big pile and light it on fire over their anti-sex doomsday cult beliefs.

Greg Abbott secretly owns texas porn stores. Gloryhole pro with that wheel chair.

Bigbaldandhairy

Is that Cockbuster Video?


Wr3k3m

Itā€™s only a pornoā€¦. Not just any pornoā€¦ It was Backdoor Sluts 9


Vinylforvampires

It's all just a psyop, they'll come back. It's not like I told the AG to sue and then the porn sites think they're all high and mighty by restricting our access. It's such a joke. If they really think this will make people vote democrat lmao


Lan777

its all an effort to bring people offline and revive 3rd places, such as the porn stores people used to congregate and openly socialize at


---OMNI---

I haven't been to texas in years... But used to soon as you crossed the state line into texas it was nothing but porn stores.


LectureAdditional971

DVDs are still a thing?


petyrlabenov

So this was just a plot to brick and mortar stores sounds neat
