This comment might provide some insights: lemmy.zip/comment/21080783
Also, IMO, voluntary or not, this goes over the edge, especially on the streaming part. If someone genuinely enjoys this, they can do it in private.
When money and popularity get involved, this prompts more extreme behavior, turning a willing masochist into a victim, and a game into a trap.
Besides, authorities could have at least checked up on him.

- Comment on 100% vegetarian 1 week ago:
Sure, this was not a political statement or anything. Only a mention that lab-grown meat can technically be seen as vegan.
Personally, I still have meat in my diet, but I do experiment with plant-based options like soy meat and seitan, and also play around with tofu and oat milk.

Lab grown meat, too
- Comment on This website is for humans 1 week ago:
Locking information into corporate-controlled loops is antithetical to freedom and accessibility.
Having singular proprietary point of entry, or even few of them, into the entire knowledge of mankind is not sharing.
This is the part people are willing to protect. Actual peer-to-peer sharing of information, with as little private choke points as possible.
- Comment on This website is for humans 1 week ago:
When the Web was first designed, some of the concerns we have today were nonexistent.
I believe in freedom of information, and would love for the information I share to be accessed in any way a given user wants.
But I have to stand defensive and support the author here, too. The modern LLM boom aims to essentially replace original resources with AI-generated summaries step by step. This is detrimental to the Internet, and to knowledge as we know and preserve it.
First, there is an event commonly called Google Zero, which is briefly mentioned in the article. If you don’t know what it is, it is the not-so-hypothetical-anymore moment when Google (or, really, any other large player) essentially accumulates all information on the Web, feeds it to AI, and since then doesn’t serve links anymore, going straight to answers based on training data. Users will jump to this - they already do - because it offers convenience. But for any independent creators it means having no audience, no money, and no means to produce new quality content, trapping users in a self-containing loop that loses nuance, actuality, and truthfulness. This goes beyond cooking recipes and personal notes - it permeates science, political discussion, and much more.
Second, LLMs multiply traffic coming to sites, which becomes an infrastructural problem. Bots access sites at much higher rates than humans do, and when their intent is to scrape your entire website every now and again and there are dozens of them, this becomes huge.
Third, having proprietary models train on the data I provide without any attribution, copyright etc. makes giant corporation profit off my back, while at the same thing making it so that less genuine users will see what I produce. This means careers of authors, journalists etc. are dying, and this also mean they abuse each and every one of us without any consent.
Fourth, and I wonder if you see it by now, LLMs and the way they represent data, along with SEO tools meant to drive information through the search bots, begin to shape how we talk. All I say doesn’t have to be a list of points, yet it is. It could be less verbose, more readable, yet it is the way it is. Because when we interact with the products of such developments too much, we begin shaping our own language in a way that is less human-readable and more meant for machines, without us knowing. This is a real issue of communication.
So, as much as I hate it, I’m gonna protect a lot of the data I share.

Not reading all that
The most blatant evasion. “I’m right because I’m right”.
Short version personally for you: all good things military does are better done by other specially trained people. And they don’t need deadly weapons for this. Military doesn’t make sense outside killing context.
- Comment on Shamelessly stolen from Reddit 2 weeks ago:
Assisting during disasters
Emergency responders do this with much less overhead - like, well, weapons. They also receive a much more extensive training for this specific kind of thing.
Stabilizing areas
UN Peacekeepers do this. National armies serve “national interests”, as defined by the government backing them. They are not always interested in deescalation of conflicts, and US Army is particular stirred so many conflicts and made them worse because it served US government.
It’s not the soldiers decision
It’s their decision to join the army and voluntarily give up their right to refuse. If you know you can be sent to raze territories and people, why do you join in the first place? There are better places to do good aspects of what army does.
The primary role of military is to project power by either destroying or threatening to destroy anything a given government doesn’t like. Everything else comes secondary, and if not for that, we would have dedicated personnel only meant to do the good things instead. Don’t buy weapons and helicopters, train people to respond to emergencies and assist local civilians in hostile areas. UN does this. But hey, how do you instate banana republics then?

UN is doing pretty much that. A little armed personnel, a lot of medics and cooks to help the locals

Oh, I’m all in for spending company money. But I’d rather not incentivize murderers.
- Comment on Shamelessly stolen from Reddit 2 weeks ago:
Most of these roles are means to help actual infantry and pilots to kill people.
The only roles that might be seen as something different are medic and cook. But even then - they are there so that the soldiers could be there on the battlefield later on.
- Comment on Shamelessly stolen from Reddit 2 weeks ago:
It’s not about someone getting a discount. It’s about businesses incentivizing American military that is prone of causing misery around the globe. It is immoral and insane.

I’d say my personal issue with Lydia is that she doesn’t seem to have much in terms of personality separate from her role as a housecarl.
But then, I never romanced her, so maybe I missed something.
