Damn it, I’ll take the corpse

Every moment of your life, you have been traveling through space and time. Even in the time it takes you to read this comment, you have passed through vast distances on the rock we call Earth.

Imagine they accept the refugees, then a rug pull happens and aid stops anyway

I get mine outside Showbox Market late at night

About $3.99 from trader joes last time I bought. North Seattle.

Let’s take a bite out of crime

I’d like to see what study you based your argument on, because I’ve done enough reading that what you’re saying doesn’t ring any bells. I’m an atheist and as mentioned previously worked in the porn industry for several years.

I’m not an expert on the topic and don’t claim to be. I only first learned about it by watching a youtube series by Terry Crews called “Dirty Little Secret” where he admits he had this problem and how it affected his marriage.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. I did not say whether it should be banned or made difficult to find - I was pointing out the evidence that is out there that it is a problem for some people.

I worked in the porn industry for almost a decade. I see no moral issues with it, but there is growing evidence that porn addiction is a problem for many.

Please look over yourbrainonporn.com.

There is plenty of evidence that some people struggle with compulsory sex disorder. Porn addiction can lead to erectile dysfunction. Many on the internet won’t admit it and will down vote any discussion of the topic for some reason.

Yes, if it is a tax on speculation, investments, and gambling. I can get behind it being a trickle down system that the wealthy can’t opt out of.

I personally really dislike new reddit and the Photon theme. I’d say no to any change to my main instance.

I used to think fireworks were fun, but after getting a dog that is terrified of them, you start noticing all the little things.

People shoot then off randomly throughout the year. They leave behind garbage waste. Animals and even some humans seem to get PTSD from them.

I’m in favor of very limited fireworks in specific areas.

I was really psyched about AI when it first hit my news feed. Now I’m less than impressed. Most generalist AI platforms get things wrong constantly. Having an LLM trained on specific things, like math or science or maybe law, I could see being useful.

We’re at the “AI everything” phase instead of the “AI what makes sense” phase.

Papers Please

You’re 100% right. There is no way this action doesn’t cause harm.

That said, what should they do?

They’re going to get sued into oblivion, so that’s one alternative path forward.

They could have bought the game out and lumped it into their existing games. Alternate dimension Pokémon anyone?

I disagree that leaving things unsaid is the best approach to online discussion, especially when it comes to soundbite level social media like Lemmy and Reddit. Doing this puts forth the position that only one thing needs to be said, which is underhanded and intellectually dishonest.

You’re absolutely right that both mainstream parties in the US are closely related in policy, so it is a failure of those arguing against the Israeli genocide to not call this what it is: a governmental policy problem, not a single party problem. Saying “democrat bad, support Israeli genocide” while ignoring the opposite party just because it is not in power is a failure to point out the root cause of the issue. If we don’t want to support any genocide, we need to make sure that no matter what party is in power, it doesn’t happen.

I’ll ignore the fact that you disagree with their economic policies for now and continue to focus on the fact that this is a systematic issue, not one that is beholden to one party or the other.
