Surprisingly this is the safest time to be in porn. OnlyFans and others allow sex workers to set their own prices and control what they will and won’t do.

Or to Red and Kitty instead of Eric and Donna

Hey Jerkface :)

Completely get where you’re coming from. I’ll admit I like the occasional saucy spicy comic. I’d suggest we start with the allow tagged NSFW, and then see what happens. If it gets to be too much a new community could be spun off.

I moderate a few, and I’ve seen people too eagerly try to spin off new communities like reddit, but here it takes a long time for any traction to happen. So while I’m for more communities, spinoffs should be once there is a critical mass, like a ton of NSFW comics.

Wow and them the entire class stood up and clapped right?

This is another example of me learning in my older age that no matter what good is attempted, people will use it the wrong way. It’s good that we attempted to stop or slow nepotism. However people will always be horrible, and they only see it as extra steps to get to what they want.

I haven’t heard that term in decades and I immediately recognized it. God so stupid, and so brainwashed I was

Go away! This is not your time!

selfish ignorant people vote for selfish ignorant leaders.

The problem isn’t the frontman. It’s that over half of the voting population voted for him.

Saw Mary Jane on Broadway a couple years back, staring the phenomenal Rachel McAdams. It was good, it was very sad, and heartwrenching, and McAdams did a phenomenal job. She has a ton of range, hope she returns to the theater sometime.

I admit, I have no idea what the mirror is for

I remember one of those videos which more or less boiled down to “the human eye is so complex that there is no way that it couldn’t have been created.”

Wasn’t until I was older that I thought, hey wait a minute. Other animals see way better than us, and there are many animals that see worse kind of proving the whole trial and error thing, and then you also realize we need corrective lenses because our vision fails and there are cataracts and lazy eyes and colorblind and then blind people. Maybe it’s not such perfect creation after all but instead a bunch of trial and error over millions of years

As someone who had to care for their SO as they vomited multiple times after they were roofied at a bar, from the bottom of my heart, go fuck yourself.

I remember the guy who did it, fucking coward saw my fiance, even saw the ring, and did it when she set her drink down for less than a minute while I was in line for the bathroom. As soon as I walked back he immediately walked away, and I had to care for my fiance while she vomited multiple times, INCLUDIING IN HER SLEEP, she was confused, scared, and in the morning was horrified that she didn’t remember. She had only two drinks that night, and I remember almost calling 911.

Fuck everybody who even thinks about doing something so horrible, and I shudder at what could have happened if I had decided not to go out with her and her work friends that night. Fuck guys who roofie people, and the right after fuck guys who think joking about them is funny.

He claims the art of the deal but man when there’s something that stops him in his tracks, is this supposed to be good negotiation? What page in his book is this from?

Claude/anthropic had a massive leak of their source code yesterday. Part of it was it was found that they have been working on a tomagotchi style AI pet.

Nothing concrete, but their stated goal is to play any pc game on it, similar to what steam did with the deck. That was enough to scare off sony

So, not defending them because it’s still a stupid choice, but their reasons were not because PC bad, but because Xbox announced their “Play PC games on the next Xbox”. Meaning Microsoft’s next console could play PS games now (if they bought the PC version). Sony doesn’t want their rival console to play their games, so they revoked it.

I still think it’s stupid, exclusives are stupid, but that’s the actual reason before many more people claim that sony hates PC players. (I mean they do, but not for the reason you think)

I think we’re both right in a way. They won’t care about Windows specifically, but Windows to them isn’t the product anymore. It’s the entrypoint for users to Microsoft services, which is why they advertise so much in Windows now for OneDrive, Office, Copilot. You’re essentially already in their store just by using Windows. So the real loss isn’t that people aren’t using Windows, it’s that people are cancelling OneDrive and Office subscriptions. That is what is going to be noticed.

What’s really interesting to me is these numbers:

From this, it’s roughly that Windows 11 + Linux = (-) Windows 10. So people really are pissed about migrating to 11, and leaving in droves. 5% of the market is huge. This is not being ignored my Microsoft. Rough number I see is there are 14M Steam users in the US. 5.3% of that is 742,000 computers. 742,000 points of entry into OneDrive, Office, Xbox, and of course Copilot that will never be exposed to them. That’s millions in potential revenue lost.

It’s fine. It’s not going to get any better with age. Look people will say it’s crap, it’s shit, it’s horrible. It’s not. It’s just, fine. It’s not amazing, it’s not groundbreaking, it’s just plainly fine.

The real issue is that they obviously had a lot of really cool ideas that were all left half finished or cut it out for the sake of simplicity. We can’t have advanced mining, that’d be too complex. We can’t have too many story lines, it’d confuse people.

So, treat it as it is, it’s an okay game, it’s fun, it’s just not going to be RDR2 or Cyberpunk. I’d say it’s solidly worth 30-40 dollars. Pick it up if it’s on sale.

I just don’t understand. Their engine powers the vast majority of AAA games, and a huge chunk of non-AAA. I know they charge for this engine. How the hell are they strapped for cash. And before you comment, I know the answer unfortunately.

They had fortnight. A competent executive team would see that as a fluke that is great, but not dependable long term, and plan for investing that money back into the business but always prepared for the popularity of Fortnight could dip, but it wouldn’t matter because the core of their business would carry it.

Instead, it sounds like they had a standard executive team, where they thought the money from fortnight would last forever, it would never die, and line would only ever go up. They stupidly made a bunch of wrong decisions, and are now all shocked pikachu that Fortnight’s popularity is waning after almost a decade. So of course it’s the workers who should be fired now, not the executives, no of course not.
