I had sort of the opposite as a trans lesbian. I thought that I was just really attracted to girls, but it turns out some of that was me wanting to be like them.

If it were government controlled, it would be accountable to the people, to the extent that the government is democratic (ideally, much more than it is now), and would also be run as a service rather than for profit.

In the short term, I think that collectively being Karens about it would be to reverse the pressure, by steering the monopolists away from oppressing us. Because they are mainly motivated by money.
In the long term, take away their monopoly power.

I meant pressing the payment processors, like those prude activists are.

Just because they always have been doesn’t mean it’s good. It’s definitely not good for private companies to have monopoly power like that. That power will only be used for their gain (and our collective loss).

I am a strong believer in democracy. I don’t think that the answer to a bad government is to reduce the power of the government, because that power will inevitably go to undemocratic institutions. Only the government is accountable to the people. So even when the government is currently controlled by people I dislike, I still want more things to be brought under the power of the government rather than privatized.
The answer to bad government actions, in my view, is to fight for a more democratic government, and zealously advocate for good ideas among the voting population.

Since this is caused by activist pressure on the payment processors, perhaps a grassroots activist campaign of our own could change their mind. Especially if we threaten to stop using their services in favor of any competitor that allows all legal purchases.

In theory, crypto could be good for this, but crypto is used (and designed) more as an investment than a transaction tool.
Also, the issue here is not centralized currency under a government, it’s centralized payment processing under monopolistic private companies. Crypto is not required to solve that, all that is needed is an alternative payment processor.

I’m not a lawyer, but from my understanding there’s actually no legal obligation for them to delete US citizens’ data, but they generally do it anyways to avoid creating backlash that would lead to regulation.

They have separate water systems separated every few floors, with pumps and valves to correct the pressure between them.
- Comment on Dreams are extremely forgettable because the plot is flimsy, the dialogue is uninspired, and the acting is lifeless. 3 months ago:
I think there’s something deeper to not being able to remember them, like the brain not writing memories of them or something. Then again, my memory is particularly bad and some aspects of it are completely non-functional, so that could explain my experience.

- Comment on Spotify’s Plans For AI Generated Music, Podcasts, and Recommendations, According To Its Co-President, CTO, and CPO Gustav Söderström 9 months ago:
Well, there’s a few aspects of it. If they push it, it could make my experience worse (This tends to happen with any service that’s pushing AI). I also consider it to be highly unethical, so it lowers my opinion of their ethics (not that it’s high to begin with) and makes me more likely to protest them on ethical grounds. After all, I’m here now instead of Reddit for similar reasons.

That seems like a quick way to get me to cancel my Spotify subscription.
