Yeah I don't get the hate, people soliciting sexual material that you then provide makes you a prostitute. Nothing wrong with prostitution but if somehow I get on a cam and encourage Bob to come on my command yet still not be considered one, then neither is Remy Lacroix
Internet be neurotic
originally i hated Cao Cao but i'm sure his nuances will emerge with a reread
everyone should read dracula. it works for two main reasons, stoker has an eye for the cinematic, and you get behind his protagonists like no other book's protagonists. They have so much love and regard for each other
it doesn't matter that it's not ʟ ɪ ᴛ ᴇ ʀ ᴀ ᴛ ᴜ ʀ ᴇ its still one of the best Victorian reads
the year was 2002 and I was hacking and slashing in Dynasty Warriors 3, one of the GOAT PS2 titles. my bro and I got intrigued by china breaking up and thought thought Lu Bu and Zhang Fei were badasses so we said hey jeeves what other Dynasty Warriors media is there? Soon I discovered a massive novel in four volumes - the romance of the three kingdoms - and thought damn that's fat for a game tie-in novel this Moss Roberts guy must love the games like we do to translate this gigachonker
naturally I bought a copy. the covers and box sheath colored in an unsalable brown only a university press could sign off on, with nearly phonebook-thin paper and typesetting that wasnt always perfectly square on the page, but I ate it up. i got my Han Dissolution on and discovered gandalf, napoleon and macguyver in chinese form: the inestimable Zhuge Liang
I wish i knew where that set got to, but yeah an unabridged chinese epic attributed to some guy called Luo from the 16th cent. is mine
Conflict? A good image is a good image regardless of its provenance. And yes 2020s era 4chan was pretty much glowboy central, one look at the top posts by country of origin said as much. It arguably wasn't worth bothering with since 2015
That is the point at which you remind them they are focusing on the worst R and remind them of the other two which are much more ppwerful
Interesting to compare aluminium recycling with plastic recycling
When the true aim is to recycle material, industry comes to the party and you get a refund scheme, even purpose built deposit facilities that can be set up locally
When the aim is to misdirect public attention toward a non solution you get government mandated plastics recycling bins and penalties for "contamination" plus never ending messaging (gotta keep the lie alive with constant repetition lmaooo). Coercion is just a lowkey admission that the material isn't worth recycling
The real question isn't how to get the plastics industry to change, it's how to make the ruse no longer a tenable position for governments
None of that counts for anything unless the technologies can be independently developed and controlled by individuals and networks of people
let commercial implementation and intent be as opaque as it wants provided people aren't required to interact with it
it’s the anonymity that empowers people to say the absolute worst things.
humans behave badly when they perceive they have social license to do so. anonymity has little to do with it
your second paragraph makes you sound like Larry Ellison. all you're arguing for is the extension of the capacity of corporations to constrain and coerce invidiual behaviour, which is gross
The 1.17.8 flatpak onward doesn't even work. Every IFO I give it comes back with 'can't read lol' - it used to work flawlessly for remuxes
IF YOU DIDN'T PHONE HOME I WOULDN'T NEED A PRIVACY POLICY
I have a young calathea ornata
YT says mist it every day and whatever you do, DON'T MIST IT as mould will form, and says it prefers hours of indirect sunlight and also low light conditions such as beneath a canopy -_-
