Public price lists from each studio's clearing house. Licensing becomes like fuel at the pump. Doesn't matter who pulls up they're all paying the same rate.

Excellent write up. I think there are different kinds of pain and we'd need to measure to account for that.

When I'm at the BDSM club the women generally want and can take more pain. (Some guys are totally insane though.)

When I'm in my gravel biking group it's very much the opposite. The dudes will slide down 20 ft of gravel and their legs look like someone took a cheese grater to them. They have a laugh, hop back on the bike, and finish the ride with blood in their shoes. The ladies generally take a little spill and loose a little skin and they are crying and want help walking their bike back to the car. (Some chicks are hard as nails though.)

Nah. We need legal protection to separate content creators and distributiors. Creator's license content. Laws could mandate all distributors get access to the same pricing. Then you pick the distribution platform you enjoy.

Creator's compete for views with quality content.

Distributors compete for users with features and curation.

No exclusive rights. No studio running a streaming platform. No streaming platform starting up studios. None of this anticompetitive lock-in.

We must know the secret of your 40+ hour days. Are you on Earth? What's the battery tech like on your planet? We could use some help.

I agree with your post for the most part but "I think" are wasted words. Every statement is a something someone thinks unless they cite a source. Only include "I think" if you're doubting your opinions.

I don't know much about AI porn but I see a huge difference between putting a real person's face on a real person's nude body and putting an imaginary face on an imaginary nude body.

Obviously the age difference is weird but was Korbin creepy? I remember him being super chill and circumstances kind of forced them together without either him or Lelu really leaning into it.

What part of the world does this idea come from? Men in general definitely don't complain about pain more than any other gender in my region. I have noticed a gender difference between taking a nap, walking it off, and taking drugs. I could probably generalize a bit about who prefers rest, who prefers to grin and bare it, and who prefers to try to medicate it.

I haven't had a McDonald's milkshake in 30 years but I remember the plastic straws collapsed at both ends back then.

The alternative is to stick with the ACA as it is now. It's worse because insurance marketplaces cost more and create inefficiency compared to a single payer system. More people could have access to less expensive healthcare with a single-payer system.

Does that make sense?

Compare owning some land and shitbox you can live in to being homeless or watching all the money you earn be taken and horded by landlords.

I'll take the shitbox please.

She could find a doctor who only accepts private insurance if she wants. Does she not know that?

Your tattoo example doesn't make sense to me. The tattoo shop could require an agreement limiting liability without denying access to the courts.

Are you saying that it's reasonable to be allowed to waive your right to access the legal system when getting a tattoo but not when accessing streaming services?

It's real? I thought this was some Gen ai art but https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/creep_van

I see my mistake. I was overly focused on airborne data. Malaria hasn't really changed for the better has it. Thank you.

I stand corrected. Let me adjust my comment. Most viruses, the vast majority, are not deadly to humans. Those that are tend to mutate to become less deadly to humans over time.

Totally 💯

HIV won't kill you. It weakens your immune system so other diseases kill you.

Uh... Cancer is not an organism with its own genes. Cancer is you baby, you're just just getting out of control. Viruses sometimes start deadly but they almost always get less deadly over time.

Don't they usually mutate to less deadly forms? Killing their host isn't exactly a successful strategy.

That's like saying you can't learn to swim because the water is always too cold. Yes it's cold, you just go in the water anyway. It's okay to feel bored. Just be bored and continue.

Yes! I use those all the time. It needs to be standard.

I don't know about that but I think we need two clipboards, standard. If we had the existing clipboard and a second with dedicated keys that would be very helpful.

Downsides include having to solve lots of captchas or just getting blocked by services. I prefer just booting up Tails and connecting through the VPN with that but give it a try.

Now do the A spec.

Really...? (AI bullshit imagination incoming)

I think the test passes. What do you think the job is in each image?

Thanks for the clear explanation.

Why didn't she tie her own shoe?

What's up with your imagination that you cannot imagine a pig artist in a children's book?

Always. If you aren't communicating with the intent to exchange meaning you're communicating in bad faith.

I'm seeing this and it makes me very happy.

🤣

This joke is doing my man Herbert dirty.

:)

Probably mostly to warn others. Sometimes to point out information I believe is wrong. Mostly I'm trying to keep the ship on course.

I'm the boobs Paul Atreides is a slender, sharp-featured young man with intense blue-within-blue eyes and a reserved demeanor that conceals his profound intelligence and latent power. Not just a name.

Aww, thank you 😊

What a privileged abilist take. Calling a bunch of perfectly healthy people with amazing bodies diverse. /s

I followed the tutorial so 18-25 was easy mode. 26-35 was a blur mostly making money for other people. 36-40 was realizing the tutorial was a goddamn lie, going to therapy, trying to make up for missed experiences, and balancing work with reward. Now in the 41-45 phase and wondering what it will look like when I reflect back on it in a few years.

What is? Are you claiming the open source code base has a timer grabbing binaries from a Google server and executing them?
