Online Dating Has Changed How We Interact

Apr 13

Posted by Lance Cassidy in Lance's | No Comments

In order for my OK Cupid profile to be 75% complete I have to write something in my journal that is suitable for everyone there to see. A little invasive I think. I thought the site was meant to connect people, not one to peer deep inside each person’s mind.

While I think the OK Cupid website has a unique idea to bring to the dating game, and there are lots of users, it has totally failed me. I have never met anyone from there and I honestly have lost faith in internet dating sites. I began using them when they first appeared because I work online. I have seen them go from rejected ideas about dating to commonplace in the whole dating scene.

Before the internet people would largely meet in person, by speaking actual spoken words. Read the rest of this entry »

Steve Jobs Doesn’t Want a Porn Store

Apr 9

While browsing the net on my iPhone I ran into an article on TechCrunch that was centered around Steve Jobs’ comment as to why Apple doesn’t want to allow unsigned apps onto the iPhone. For clarity, an unsigned app simply means an app that was not acquired via the app store, and therefore not Apple-approved.

All too often I see this happening.

The comments at the end of the article are what got me involved. There was the usual Church of Apple followers, the Apple Bashers, those who demand more from manufacturers and then – this is what got me – those who were pushing the point of view that says shut up and take it. Acquiescence is a horribly dangerous mindset, in my opinion.

Here’s the Link: http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/08/steve-jobs-on-why-the-iphone-doesnt-allow-unsigned-apps-they-dont-want-a-porn-store/comment-page-2/

I have a few thoughts surrounding this topic, so I commented. Here’s my comment: Read the rest of this entry »

Sorry, I Work in Porn – We Can’t Be Friends

Mar 18

Posted by Lance Cassidy in Lance's | No Comments

For those of us who work in the adult entertainment industry it can be hard to meet people outside of the industry, unless we keep our occupational details to ourselves until the person has gotten to know us better. It’s not often that I run into people who can understand that my job is a job and not much more than that. The media demonizes the adult industry and sexual acts yet at the same time throws sex in our faces every chance it gets. It makes me wonder why people aren’t running to adult industry professionals for a fix of some kind after the mainstream media has gotten them all excited.

If you listen to most rap music lyrics you will find that it’s a verbal rendition of porn videos. Rock music doesn’t get away scott-free either, but rap is much more prone to it. I’m a rap fan so I am not some pompous white kid talkin out my ass either. I am not writing about the sexualization of society by the media – I could, but not right now. Just jump onto youtube and type sexy commercials to get started. Read the rest of this entry »

Hello, I’m a Pedophile: RESPONSE

Feb 2

Posted by Lance Cassidy in Lance's | No Comments

I ran into a forum I had not seen before while googling for something – I don’t even remember what now. While on the site I saw a thread titled, “Hello, I”m a Pedophile”

I read the first post, thought for a moment, then read the rest. While reading I began to write my reply in TextEdit, and when I got to the end of the post I realized the thread was locked. Naturally.

Well, as I usually do, I post my writings here. Here’s the thread, followed by my unposted comment: Read the rest of this entry »
