Guys like russell brand deliberately look at audiences who have already protected other sexual predators. They seek out those audiences. Is it any wonder at all which audience they end up with?

As DULF's compassion club was forced to close, its operators worked to get its 43 members legal Rx alternatives, successfully transitioning only 2 or 3 – a point that piqued the interest of the judge, who asked about the barriers to safer supply programs

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

I dunno, it depends. I think there *can* be an appreciable quantity of sales lost, even if just 2% or whatever. Nothing like what these losers claim, but I think we should be clear that rejecting intellectual property is a moral obligation REGARDLESS of impact upon an author's bottom line.
The point of "people who pirate books/movies can't afford to buy them" isn't poormouthing, it's that people who pirate literally WOULD NOT have bought, so the content industry propagandists' "Lost Sale Doctrine" is horseshit. If anything, downloads are free advertising that increases sales.

It's critically important that you understand that "nazi-tankie" is not hyperbole. John Paul Cupp literally ran a nazi reading group sponsored by North Korea.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

I regularly think about younger folks, who came of age after Trump was already a thing, and it's impossible to describe just the sheer amount of lost ground that happened on a dozen very different political or subcultural fronts between 2015 and 2017. Cataclysmic.
10 years ago there was a battle between anarchists & fascists for the souls of every dumbass American libertarian you've ever met & the f'n nazis won. I try not to think about it bc what can you do, but all the old Gadsden types are dusting off their Char Aznable masks to defend 'ephebophilia' - _-

I can no longer follow the plot of this show. I suspect the writers and actors can’t either. I don’t think they have a show runner.

If your game has been using AI assets in production, remove them, hire artists or voice actors or composers to replace the slop, it's not too late to course correct, just get rid of it before release, excise the slop. And that's the compromise position, because people still might not trust you.
