I’m thinking NZ or AUS

Walter, I’m not talking about someone who built the Spaceroads…

Yeah no, that’s a good boy

Let me just hold my breath real quick

Was it over when Iraq did a 9\11??

I mean literal payment, with money.

I agree with what you and @Azzu @Azzu@lemm.ee are saying, in the vein that traditional gender roles have done more harm than good.

I think the culture is shifting but there’s also a weird backlash to the change, like the toxic Masculinity of Andrew Tate or Jordan Peterson, or the Trad Wife movement, or the rise of Only Fans and other pay-to-play parasitic economies.

I think a certain subgroup of men are willing to give money in exchange for intimacy as a way to exercise power in that dynamic, as if it lessens their vulnerability.

Relationships should of course be mutually beneficial, and therefore are inherently transactional. But I also find it ironic that whether men paying for online dating apps to meet women, paying for drinks, paying for sex, or paying for therapy, it’s all hitting their wallets.

I’m not experienced with Linux and I used this guide but I couldn’t get past the AdGuard setup portion, where I got some errors after starting up the Docker Container.

I think a modern dysfunction of intergender relationship is an increase in transactional intimacy. Whether it’s dating, sex, or emotional, I think a lot of men are paying for their intimacy.

Ten Bezos Bux says nothing will come of this.

That’s a great point. Any ideas?

I wonder who they will sell their data to

This is like pointing out grammatical errors in the Titanic’s breakfast menu.

Does everyone roll over for this guy? No one has a backbone?

He didn’t mean for it to affect him, his share prices, or his job!

You can use things like steganography to embed data into the AI output.

Imagine a text has certain letters in certain places which can give you a probability rating that it’s AI generated, or errant pixels of certain colors.

Printers already do something like this, printing imperceptible dots on pages.

This is a smart and ethical way to include AI into everyday use, though I hope the watermarks are not easily removed.

The Crow (1994)

Probably in the minority here and I’m not a fan of establishment Democrats, but his reasoning that Trump would use the shutdown to move without court interference seemed logical to me.

That, plus this guy doesn’t care about you. He probably only wants a side piece to assuage his own unhappiness, and if you’re OK with hurting a non-consenting third party (his family) for someone that doesn’t care about you, then you need to look harder at your own values.
