Thing is Trump made his most ridiculous statements highly memeable.

"They're eating the dogs!" is gonna live on like "They're turning the fricken frogs gay!"

That might draw enough of the disinterested crowd to figure out what happened that night.

Sigh Knowing that's entirely possible makes the joke less funny.

The people can, but companies still need some kind of income to exist. The owners/ceos will just golden parachute away from the corpse

In order to tangibly pay employees/rent/servers a company needs either profits, subsidies, or ~~a ponzi scheme~~ inflated stocks.

My brother honestly wants to get rid of divorce so that people will "take the commitment more seriously".

He said this after his fiancee left for another guy. Hilarious at first glance, mortifying when you realize what he actually wanted to happen based on what he said.

With streaming services they're proving it's not viable to run a resource hog of a service with a measly monthly subscription.

With social media they're proving it's not viable to run a resource hog of a service for free, even with advertisement.

So naturally the best plan to monetize AI is to run a resource hog of a service with a measly monthly subscription and a free version without advertisements. /s

I think one of the main issues is the matter of fact usage of the term Minor Attracted Person. It's a controversial term that phrases pedophiles like an identity, like saying Person Of Color.

I understand wanting a not as judgemental term for those who did no wrong and are seeking help. But it should be phrased as anything else of that nature, a disorder.

If I was making a term that fit that description I'd probably say Minor Attraction Disorder heavily implying that the person is not ok as is and needs professional help.

In a more general sense, it feels like the similar apologetic arguments that the dark side of reddit would make. And that's probably because Google's officially using Reddit as training data.

Here's a great video about systematically exploring ideas for indie projects.

I'm also trans, what do I win?

A single Estradiol prolly won't do anything.

But testosterone blockers like Spironolactone is also a heart medication, so be careful.

That's simultaneously funny and depressing.

This isn't about having ads (though that still sucks) this is about again, company endorsed malware.

If they're gonna shove ads in email, they need to have the quality control to not have misleading and harmful ads placed in there. Again, think of this as the charged lemonade situation, just because the user can technically avoid the risk, doesn't mean they're exempt from reducing the danger they put their users in.
