Why? It's like "lorem ipsum" at this point.

Why? It's like "lorem ipsum" at this point.
- NoSorryCannot 6y agoIf lorem ipsum were softcore erotica...
- enriquto 6y agoWhat if I told you it actually is? > Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit, qui inea voluptate velit esse, quam nihil molestiae consequatur, vel illum, qui dolorem eum fugiat, quo voluptas nulla pariatur? Translation: Who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure? This text could very well be the first page of a softcore erotica (or even hardcore!). The rest of the text is not usually visible. But then again, neither is the rest of lena!
- NoSorryCannot 6y agoThis is a really big stretch in interpretation but also in plausibility, since Latin is a dead language. But if it were true, then you'd have it your way: it'd also be inappropriate in professional settings that don't naturally necessitate it.
- 2038AD 6y ago> This is a really big stretch in interpretation According to Wikipedia[0], "[t]he placeholder text is taken from parts of the first book's discourse on hedonism." The first book being the first book of Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum.

- NoSorryCannot 6y agoLeast plausible of all is that someone would try to shore up this argument in good faith.
- 2038AD 6y agoTo be honest I'm sure it isn't erotica just as the Holy Bible is not despite verses like Ezekiel 23:20. I must also confess I did find the revelation a little amusing. It certainly says something about men (whether that's just the men of 70s from when both originate).
- YetAnotherNick 6y agoI knew other commenters would bash you for proving their point, but this is quite the best comeback I have seen in long time.
- crazygringo 6y agoThen... you'd be wrong. It's a philosophical argument against Epicurianism. Which has as much in common with softcare erotica as the phone book. Not sure what your point is.
- derefr 6y agoI would humbly note that, by volume, almost all of what generic lossy image compression algorithms are applied on, is in fact some form of erotica. A better compressor specifically in the domain of pornography—if widely applied—would probably do more to save total global Internet bandwidth usage than, say, better compression for YouTube videos would.
- KarlKemp 6y agoFish have no concept of water in very much the same way as you not seeing the problem here.
- flumpcakes 6y agoHow about you respect women in tech more and stop assuming they're so fragile that they need men to change an industry so they don't get their feelings hurt. Women are people, they don't care.
- nisuni 6y agoWoman here, you are absolutely right, I couldn’t care less about Lena!
