At the moment it looks like what the market is demanding. A few years ago specialisation was in

Crumbs is such a cute name, but a little small when he’s the whole loaf

The main issue with YouTube premium is the price, I can’t imagine that they’re making anywhere near $14 a month from showing me ads that I never click on. I’d love to see a breakdown, including how much is subsiding free users, how much is going to creators, and how much is going into the pockets of shareholders.

I think like most if not all of the people I know would easily pay $5 dollars for premium

I’ve been playing with this thought for a while, and it’s nice to see someone else express it

I get what a lot of you guys are saying about Starmer and the Labour government not being as left wing as Corbyn. I would also like someone who would use this majority to implement some really hardcore leftist policies.

But please can we just take a step back and look at what he wants to do:

• Massive amounts of NHS funding

• Nationalised green energy

• Tax private schools

• Allow regulators to hit company executives with criminal charges

• Nationalise the railways

• Increase the minimum wage to a living wage

• Free school meals

I don’t know about you, but that seems at the very least, left of center. Sure, he’s not making drastic sweeping changes right off the bat. But this country needs an era of stability, whilst we make small but consistent steps in the right direction, and that’s what Starmer will give us

The people who are more likely to retain a PC and not just use a phone, are more likely to be tech literate power users.

This selects against casual windows users, and selects for hardcore Linux users

Good first step though. Imagine all the protest/riot organising time we’d have

I’m not sure where you’re going with that? I would argue that yes, it is. As it’s sexual material of a child, with that child’s face on it, explicitly made for the purpose of defaming her. So I would say it sexually abused a child.

But you could also be taking the stance of “AI trains on adult porn, and is mearly recreating child porn. No child was actually harmed during the process.” Which as I’ve said above, I disagree with, especially in this particular circumstance.

Apologies if it’s just my reading comprehension being shit

Maybe I’m just risk averse, but handing your country over to a fascist dictator sounds like the wrong solution.

I’m not saying to stop pressuring Biden in other ways, just not the borderline suicidal ones

You mostly don’t see it because they win inconsistently by a narrow margin. It would totally happen if the republicans weren’t so popular and the Dems kept winning. Hence the hypothetical.

The main issue is convincing the populace, but my point is more that the US has a way out of fascism, the public just need to recognise and want it

That’s why I mentioned the other traditional methods

The US has nukes, and much bigger traditional ballistics than what’s currently being sent.

If Biden really really wanted to, Gaza wouldn’t exist anymore

Totally agree, he’s already damaging his own reputation, which is why the “do not vote for Biden” game can even be played.

I’m just far more terrified of what Trump will do to Gaza, and Biden is just the lesser of two evils

If the Dems keep winning the Republicans will have to slide left. It happened in the UK with Labour (unfortunately in the opposite direction).

When that happens, and Trump is not literally attempting to end democracy using project 2025, the plan of strong-arming the dem candidate into being more left is plenty feasible, and the risks are less dire.

The problem is that people are dumb, and plenty are legitimately not planning on voting for Biden now.

If and when Biden deals with Gaza, everyone with this mindset immediately needs to turn around and start sucking off Biden with previously unseen vigor and determination, otherwise this is only going to damage his chance of being elected. Hell, even then I still see some damage being done.

It just seems irresponsible to spread this message, especially when people like OP seem to genuinely believe it. Pick a less blatantly fascist opponent than Trump to do this with ffs

I think the point is that these people are also committing war crimes, and the “they” are non-western countries like Russia and China, and the “we” is the western countries

“Anti-Work” does this better how? I’m genuinely confused

FALGSC isn’t going to happen overnight, and work reform is a realistic interim solution.

Arguing for lower hours and more pay to match the massive increases in productivity we’ve seen over the last 100 years is totally feasible. And a step in the right direction long term.

FALGSC is currently not feasible, and at this rate automation is only making the rich richer

Yeah, “Work Reform” is much better. There’s this weird trend of massively exaggerating a talking point, as the echo chamber seems incapable of thinking about any kind of optics or moderation

I love how this implies the protagonist just wants to die
