  And all of your data that they’ve collected over the years.

  I mean, I agree with you, personally, but I would make a bet that the amount of people trading sex toys is both bigger than you think, but still so small that you’d never meet one in your dating life.

  I sort of want the stats on who trades toys now, just to compare to the amount of people buying dragon-like objects in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What car stickers say about you⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, the community over in reddit basically had as many people buying/selling as they did posts of people using the products. I think they had it in the forums for the bd site as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaires shouldn't exist⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, why wouldn’t they? You can’t really convince me that ‘taking away’ ownership from the founder is a big deal… by the time a company’s net worth is high enough to give him a billion dollars worth of stock, that company has far more than just him alone making the company worth that much. You also can’t really say that the janitor is less of a deal than any other random employee and thus deserves no stock… It takes everyone to make things work.

  As to the actual ‘value’ of the company, and therefore the owner’s worth? Ask him how much he wants for his shares, and he is forced to sell at that amount for say, the next 6 months if people want the stock. This prevents him from giving a ridiculously low value and gaming the system so he doesn’t have the net worth he truly does, because it would trigger a rush of people buying the stock for such a good deal, and it also prevents him from giving a ridiculously high number to manipulate people into buying stock, as it would push the net worth too high.

  Would that idea work for every company? I know there would be issues with implementation. Is it the owner that gets asked the stock price? The board? A shareholder meeting? The employees of the company? Each would have its downsides, and manipulation possibilities.

  I don’t know, mate, these are just things off the top of my head. I’m sure with some serious thought from people much more in tune with these concepts than I am, we’d have a good framework to go off of.

  Is that an ‘interesting’ area? I drove by once and thought the namesake was neat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is also when I conveniently forget you called, making your preferred method of communication incredibly slow compared to texting.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And then I call you again immediately, because I don’t call unless it’s a very time-sensitive matter… but that’s probably why the meme isn’t referencing me in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Cybertruck shaped man is destroying our government⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Body armor typically covers from around the belly button to around the manubrium of the sternum. The reason I don’t think the body armor thing is true true is because of the indents just under the breast/nipple area. Unless the vest is reeeally shaped like that, those curves would not show up. I think back to when I was wearing body armor and remember a pretty obvious line on the front portion where there was an obtuse angle formed as the shirt met the stiff portion and cascaded downwards, but no odd curves where the shirt was pulled tight after that, just wrinkles and folds where the fabric was loose.

  Now, that being said, if this is super light body armor (and he’s probably enough of an idiot to wear a level I vest and think it’s enough), those might show up. The oddities on the back of the shirt do make it appear that something is going on underneath. The thick black line where the shirt is folding inwards could be because of the bottom of a vest, as it lies just around the level of the navel, as you’d expect with body armor. Just in front of the left elbow is another dark patch, which could be due to the fabric being pushed outwards around the location where the straps attach.

  Easiest implementation would be shares start getting shared to all other employees. No more big owner when profits come from the laborers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creator monetization platform Passes and CEO Lucy Guo are sued for allegedly distributing CSAM.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Lovely how this is a class action lawsuit, and not a criminal complaint filed in at least a state court. Maybe I’ll be wrong and after the lawsuit concludes they’ll use all the evidence from discovery in something that actually matters, but it just reeks from the stench of ‘just the cost of doing business’ as the worst the people who were involved in producing and distributing child pornography will face.

  At first I came in here to say it was a silly idea, but almost every argument against it could be thrown against other games that have been done.

  so instead they bribed lots of game developers to make things Epic exclusive.

  Fuck Epic. I just lost the ability to play rocket league because they bought the developers, ripped it off of steam, and now force you to agree to some wickedly invasive TOS to have an epic account.

  I hated to be the voice of reason whenever someone brought up sex on the beach or in the actual waves, but damn do some people need to learn that water is not a lubricant, and sand is just as bad as anakin whined about when in your crevices.

  I have a friend who works in veterinary emergency clinics, and it’s always hilarious to hear his stories, because the CPR doesn’t change on a cat/dog, but there are endless complaints about how different breeds are easier/harder because of their body shape.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The first cult is the deepest⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it also has a factor of how well it blends with current/dominant society. You’d probably be able to find a large amount of folks who agree that the amish are a cult, for example. They’ve been around for a while, and they have relatively large numbers, but their rejection of modern technology flies in the face of the average modern person. If pressed on ‘why?’ those people considering them a cult likely have that unique quality behind the ‘cult’ reasoning.

  Just off the top of my head, the snake handlers and the jehovah’s witnesses are both considered cults in my social circle (as in, these topics have come up and are generally agreed on), despite both being large enough to be known in many areas and have been around for quite a while.
