She really destroyed her legacy by refusing to retire.

Both of you are assholes.

Nothing warrants destroying things over a perceived misgendering.

At the same time, a bit of an asshole response from you, when you could have just politely said that you meant dude as gender neutral term

Unpopular opinion, but Tesla model 3 has been the best car with the lowest total cost of ownership.

Electricity is cheaper than gas by a lot, no moving parts or fluids to replace except washer fluid, brakes last forever since it’s Regen braking.

It’s also pretty fun to drive.

Not a fan of the dude, and never bought into the hype on the tech side, but it’s a solid car.

The cloud givith and the cloud taketh

“Boring and Safe” when the man has a button to literally annihilate the world 10 times over and can literally lead the world into WW3/massive trade wars/destroy countries over night seems petty logical.

No, because I need too much information for work. This would render me unable to perform my work, so I would need at least the replacement salary.

Rampant alcoholism.

Degrowth is a dangerous ideology. For those living in rich countries, degrowth might just mean austerity, for those living in middle and lower income countries, degrowth is going to mean destitution and certain death for x percentage of the population.

You mean x football fields.

Coincidentally both “football fields” are pretty close in length.

Just switched to them. Would recommend so far.

I’m not convinced by any mass society that is altruistic, but it’s very simple to see that the natural state of human small groups is quite communal.

What mother has a ledger for the child’s share of food?

We have an entire feeling brain that’s dedicated to relationship building that’s very much the core of most small group relationships.

I’m also very convinced that this model does not work past Dunbar’s Number (~100-150 individuals), and most attempts at building communal society outside of that without some cohersion and some better way of organizing incentives is not possible.

You can also copyright the original character and make AI generate all the motions of that character. Since the originals was (human) created and copyrighted, it doesn’t matter that AI created art derived from that character isn’t copyrightable in of itself.

Plus there is also trademarks for character likeness.

All in all, I agree with you, this is a non issue for Hollywood studios.

This.

YouTubeTV carries network channels that directly charge YouTube TV carriage fees. Those channels charge a pretty hefty fee regardless of who you get the channels through.

This is not YouTube premium.

It actually does get higher revenue for content creators for the majority of your creators. Average per view is something like 5-10x vs non premium views.

It’s based around your watch time and something like 50%? of your subscription split across the channels you watch.

Ad impressions pay very little on YouTube.

We absolutely need to codify adoption rights as federal law.

The left needs to own healthy masculinity and properly address very legitimate issues that disproportionally hurt boys in our society.

Otherwise we will lose a whole generation to toxic male role models in the manosphere.

Yeah sure,

Even from the entire country perspective.

The US is actually pretty progressive on the LGBTQ front compared to the rest of the world outside of Northern Europe, I’d even go as far as to say the coastal states are some of the best places for LGBTQ folks in terms of culture in the world.
