  The Unite The Right rally in the US should have been a more dire warning of what’s to come than it really served as here.

  England, don’t fuck this up, this is your warning sign. You need to squash your fascist elements ASAP or join the US on the path to a new nazi regime

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A great living is a bit of an interesting statement. Sex workers are often exploited and abused in their line of work and they usually can only do it for a certain number of years. It’s hard and dangerous work. It’s riskier work than being a police officer, by far, and I don’t think most make “a great living” off of it, due to the legal issues around it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which came first: the kidney bean or the kidney body part?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To save y’all a click, the organ came first, sometime in the 14th century, as a mix of the words for womb and egg. It wasn’t until the 16th century that we see the first recorded use of kidney bean, so the name of the bean references the shape of the organ.

  I’m usually skeptical of psychoanalytics of any kind but this is pretty fascinating

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who are the "middle class" supposed to support in the class stuggle?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The middle class is a fabrication. It’s an income bracket created by capitalism, not a true analysis of one’s association to the means of production and labor. It’s “real” in the sense that many people identify themselves to it, but it’s not real in a Marxist sense.

  A vast majority of people in the middle class are the proletariat. Some of the people in the middle class are petite bourgeois.

  I don’t think that really holds up, looking at the state of things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On the whole it doesn’t sound like the worst idea and obviously you know your kid best.

  But c’mon, you never hid stuff from your parents as a teenager?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What would you do if you were a 16 year old with their own apartment?

  I think if you can rent an apartment for your kid, you can get a hotel room in which to bang your girlfriend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A real question about trans athletes and records⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The “issue” seems moot to me, personally. Between the facts that no one is transitioning in order get an upper hand in the sports world and that there are plenty of documented incidents of cis women athletes being falsely flagged as trans women due to their high testosterone levels… I just don’t think it really matters. It isn’t like there are record breaking trans women dominating the sports world. This “issue” mostly feels like an overt attack on trans people in general than genuine concern over the alleged purity of sport.

  The people spearheading these attacks on trans people aren’t interested in some nebulous notion of sports integrity, they simply want to further denigrate and attack an already maligned minority. They are concern trolling on a national scale and that I find deplorable and transparent.

  I might be biased here, as I really couldn’t care less about some Olympic notion of athletic purity, the idea itself feels somewhat eugenic adjacent, but I also think the impact of accepting trans women in sports is ultimately very minimal on the sport world, but huge for the progress of trans rights, something that I think is very important, especially in this day and age.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Era of 'AI Psychosis' is Here. Are You a Possible Victim?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny, but the reality is even darker. There are zero safeguards built into the program for these scenarios so it makes absolutely no correlation between the two topics, something even a self-styled, unlicensed “life coach” would easily do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Era of 'AI Psychosis' is Here. Are You a Possible Victim?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s a little cynical. I know a few people who work in psych, some in ER’s, and it’s becoming more common to hear people following advice they got via ChatGPT and harming themselves. One particularly egregious one was where the patient was using the program for therapy reasons then suddenly pivoted to asking what the highest buildings were locally, which, of course, the program answered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨About Star Trek Starfleet Academy blacklash⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OHHH wait I remember this conversation from Disco, lemme see if I can still do the spiel.

  I think it’s good if it brings more fans to series and in a way I envy the idea of them wanting more Star Trek and finding out about TNG, DS9 and VOY.

  Monogamy isn’t important to everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Made in Abyss" New Film Series Announced with Visual⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anecdotal evidence for sure, but of the like dozen people I knew watching this show who recommended it, not one has stuck on because it often sexualizes children.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Made in Abyss" New Film Series Announced with Visual⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pedophilic material does tend to alienate people, yeah

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Made in Abyss" New Film Series Announced with Visual⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This show started off so good then the weird af OVA and now who’s this D cup underboob showing child??

  Fuck, yo, what the hell

  Why’s it called a blow job when you’re mostly sucking it?

  While I agree with you that it should be an option to turn it off, who is telling you that you need to send a full message if someone sees you were typing?

  We’re the ones making the rules for this world full of technologies and we create the social rules for them daily with our own actions. Fuck that expectation, I’m sure other people can surmise what happened even if they noticed you were typing for just a second, they’re working with the same limited software.

  I cannot fathom why you would want to date someone you don’t want as a friend unless you’re just horny about them and misdirecting that into romance.

  Here’s vouching for shapez 2 and their dev team clearly having a phenomenal handle on what makes a factory game fun. They’ve distilled it to its essence while keeping things casual and relaxed. There’s no resource limits or biters to worry about, just build the factory using their intuitive UI and blueprint system and have fun at your own pace.
