Public price lists from each studio’s clearing house. Licensing becomes like fuel at the pump. Doesn’t matter who pulls up they’re all paying the same rate.

Excellent write up. I think there are different kinds of pain and we’d need to measure to account for that.

When I’m at the BDSM club the women generally want and can take more pain. (Some guys are totally insane though.)

When I’m in my gravel biking group it’s very much the opposite. The dudes will slide down 20 ft of gravel and their legs look like someone took a cheese grater to them. They have a laugh, hop back on the bike, and finish the ride with blood in their shoes. The ladies generally take a little spill and loose a little skin and they are crying and want help walking their bike back to the car. (Some chicks are hard as nails though.)

Nah. We need legal protection to separate content creators and distributiors. Creator’s license content. Laws could mandate all distributors get access to the same pricing. Then you pick the distribution platform you enjoy.

Creator’s compete for views with quality content.

Distributors compete for users with features and curation.

No exclusive rights. No studio running a streaming platform. No streaming platform starting up studios. None of this anticompetitive lock-in.

I agree with your post for the most part but “I think” are wasted words. Every statement is a something someone thinks unless they cite a source. Only include “I think” if you’re doubting your opinions.

I don’t know much about AI porn but I see a huge difference between putting a real person’s face on a real person’s nude body and putting an imaginary face on an imaginary nude body.

What part of the world does this idea come from? Men in general definitely don’t complain about pain more than any other gender in my region. I have noticed a gender difference between taking a nap, walking it off, and taking drugs. I could probably generalize a bit about who prefers rest, who prefers to grin and bare it, and who prefers to try to medicate it.

I haven’t had a McDonald’s milkshake in 30 years but I remember the plastic straws collapsed at both ends back then.

The alternative is to stick with the ACA as it is now. It’s worse because insurance marketplaces cost more and create inefficiency compared to a single payer system. More people could have access to less expensive healthcare with a single-payer system.

Does that make sense?

Compare owning some land and shitbox you can live in to being homeless or watching all the money you earn be taken and horded by landlords.

I’ll take the shitbox please.

She could find a doctor who only accepts private insurance if she wants. Does she not know that?

It’s real? I thought this was some Gen ai art but https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/creep_van

Yes! I use those all the time. It needs to be standard.

I don’t know about that but I think we need two clipboards, standard. If we had the existing clipboard and a second with dedicated keys that would be very helpful.

Downsides include having to solve lots of captchas or just getting blocked by services. I prefer just booting up Tails and connecting through the VPN with that but give it a try.

Now do the A spec.

Always. If you aren’t communicating with the intent to exchange meaning you’re communicating in bad faith.

Probably mostly to warn others. Sometimes to point out information I believe is wrong. Mostly I’m trying to keep the ship on course.

What is? Are you claiming the open source code base has a timer grabbing binaries from a Google server and executing them?

I’m all of these fish. If I’m going to spend my life playing a game I want to immerse myself as much as possible.

We are specifically NOT talking about Republicans. Did you miss that context?
