The emperor of "Byzantium" literally was the emperor of the Roman empire; it was not merely a claim like in the other cases but an administrative and historical fact. It is more accurate to say that "the Byzantine Empire&quot

Not really buying it. I mostly liked the same type of books all my life. I read a lot out of my comfort zone and I never particularly enjoyed it, nor do I think they impacted me much. I read what I am, not the other way. Maybe others are mo

"Cosmetic filtering" sounds unimportant, but it's what most people expect from ad blockers. It's a bizarre term.

There's no need for an ecumenical council to reject every single doctrine other confessions come up with. The Orthodox believe that the Fall changed human nature, which means that every human after Adam was affected. Since Mary was als

>Yet all the Eastern Churches agree that Mary is sinless. [..] They agree that Mary never sinned, before, during, after birth, during her life, and that she entered Heaven with body and soul intact. Not a dogma in Orthodox Christianity.

>Yet all the Eastern Catholic Churches have accepted the underlying dogma Ah, when you said Eastern Churches you did not mean Eastern Orthodox Churches then.

What are you talking about? The Eastern Orthodox reject giving Mary's birth special status, you're just hand-waving doctrines with no explanations, entirely from a Catholic perspective.

Is that all revenue, including subscribers, donations, ads, etc.? The numbers are not that large considering it's data for almost 2 years and a half. edit: I saw it mentioned in that /g/ thread that these numbers are without

Opinion pieces can be framed to dictate whatever narrative the author wishes to promote, and a nice story isn't substitute for evidence.

That's about Visa, MasterCard, and PornHub. This thread is about OnlyFans and _banks_, not payment processors. Are banks swayed by religious groups to block payments related to adult materials? Edit: Also even for PornHub, it is allege

It matters because that's where their customers have accounts and presumably they don't wish to make a new account for each new person they want to follow.

That's just a link dump. Is there any evidence that their campaign is linked to the decisions made by OF?

>OnlyFans declined to name its current banking partners, citing a desire to improve relations. Sounds like they requested a new deal in exchange for not naming them.

So now they'll come back because OF still has the larger community.

I checked the FT link pasted in this thread, and the founder seems to claim that it was an issue strictly with the banks, not with the payment processors: >“We’re already fully compliant with the new Mastercard rules, so that had no bear

This just sounds like wishful thinking from cryptocurrency enthusiasts. There is no precedent of this happening, so I doubt they were so terrified about a completely hypothetical scenario.

Since when does Mastercard / Visa care about minor backlash like this and why would they? Most of the hysteria died down pretty quickly, and it's not like people were going to boycott the biggest payment processors by far.
