Not really. In the US, the first amendment protects a lot. Just like with YouTube censorship, capitalism has created a more restrictive regime through financial pressure than the government does. This has affected the porn industry, as well (see another comment in this subthread on that).

It's been like this for a while in the porn industry. In an interview a while back, Bree Mills says she gets more limited by payment processors than the government (though that might be switching).
Ever wonder why every faux-incest video goes out of the way to say everyone is a step family? Step father, step daughter, step mother, step brother, all somehow living in the same house, over 18, and no blood relation? The first amendment protects them from the US government, so that's not why. Credit card companies are why. The old Taboo series was distributed differently back in the day. Can't make that anymore.
This also applies to some of the more extreme BDSM stuff, like blood play or scat. Won't find them on kink.com.
A very important distinction that is clearly not just splitting hairs.
Unlike the Soviets and Kaliningrad. Wait...
Send them a random dick pic back.
It was in the same weight range as what Ferrari was putting out at the time. Those stainless steel panels are very thin sheets over fiberglass. They don't add as much weight as you'd think.
Most of the other issues were fixed by VIN 3000, but their reputation was set by then. Getting framed by the FBI in a drug sting didn't help, either. It has a lot of very thoughtful features, like a gull wing door design that only comes out 11" and won't hit the car parked next to you.
It got caught up in a bunch of regulatory changes that were happening the late 70s/early 80s. Just a bad time to start a new car company, or to make a sports car at all. There aren't many memorable cars from the time period for anything other than looks.
Last time I checked, if you had bought an Edsel new, its value would have kept up with inflation. Some of the higher end trims do a little better than inflation. Which isn't a particularly good investment either way, especially one that needs to be maintained with more money and effort. Tossing it in t-bonds would do just as well or better with almost zero effort.
Do you mean the Edsel? Studebaker was a successful car manufacturer for decades, and is still beloved by many.
It's worth noting that some data reporting issues mean OS X and macOS are sometimes split, even though macOS is the newer branding for OS X. When combined, Apple's desktop presence is around 24%
I think mfed112@discuss.tchncs.de has it right in another subthread. Star Trek: TNG doesn't quite reach the level of competence porn. Scotty does, though. Guy who is delighted to be sent to his room so he can catch up on his technical journals? Yeah, he's hyper competent.
Grand Admiral Thrawn of Star Wars is full out competence porn. Most of Timothy Zahn's novels are.
Or they just think if they see tits it makes them horny so women MUST be the same way?
This one. The problem is that by the time 90% of the hetro cis male population of one generation has figured this out, a new generation of teen hetro cis males are right behind them. A better sex education class would cover this.
Because I'm not a right-libertarian who ignores how corporations setup coercive structures all their own in a perversion of free association.
