Not really. Read All Star Superman for a great example of how you can have a story be about the fantastical and make it very human. That story is about Superman basically becoming overexposed to sunlight in a way that makes him progressivel

I'm willing to accept that but I think it would still lower the amount of income significantly. Sure people would still pay for custom porn or specific clips that are hard to find (though even then I'd suspect quite a bit less tha

Because it isn't transparent to the purchaser that the stock comes from an illegitimate seller. So as a hypothetical example: Rolex makes Subarmariner watches and sells them on Amazon, and KnockOffWatchCo makes counterfeit Submariners

No they aren't, because porn is available for free in abundance everywhere. I can't download a coffee from a torrent site or stream it from a tube site. The fact that people pay for porn at all is a small marvel. I might be willin

That is an extra step which will make people spend less money. Imagine if every time you wanted to buy a cup of coffee or a video game you had to buy a special currency to do it? I bet less of both would be sold

Oh most definitely. I didn't want to imply they went about it in an even half reasonable way, just that the motivation of designing the interface like that had nothing to do with optimizing for time spent filling it in

I guess the hope at this point is that our children won't be. I miss the vibe of the late 90s and early 00s. I remember feeling like sure the world is fucked both socially and environmentally but that things would improve. The bad old

I imagine this was partly an attempt at data normalization. If you'd been allowed to type it in they would have had to worry about differences in spelling, capitalization, etc. I'm not saying the solution they used was a good one

My problem isn't with an alternate platform to Steam as I have bought things from both Gog and the Humble Store. My issue is with Epic exclusively and it is exclusivity. To be specific I have issues with Epic offering exclusivity deals

Healthcare and Education are both very affordable because of regulation in Australia where I live. It isn't regulation at all that is the problem with affordability you describe, it is the form the specific regulation you guys in the U

I see Pepe used a lot on 4Chan in not racist contexts even now.

Honestly no I don't. Locking them out will just lead to false positives and a forever shifting window of what is acceptable. Obviously acceptability shifts with time but if the response to someone genuinely saying "Wait but what a

Hosting a personal blog is beyond the reach of a lot of people. I feel like a large number of the general public wouldn't really ever have it occur to them as an idea in the first place, and of those that do a surprisingly large number

I'm curious but are you living somewhere far from a place with a tropical climate? In Australia pineapple on pizza is a really common thing. The only person I've ever met who didn't like pineapple on pizza just doesn't l

I actually find the opposite to be true. I enjoyed not having a clear idea of what everything did when I was just starting out. Once I knew what I could do with most things it became annoying that I didn't have an easier interface beca

YOU SHALL NOT PASS "What's taters, eh?" and "They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard!" were also pretty memetic.

Well I dislike them for entering into exclusivity agreements in the first place - something Valve doesn't do. Even more I dislike them for entering into exclusivity agreements involving kickstarted projects that promised delivery on ot

That is definitely true, but you can applaud a commitment to not do something negative. The thing is you can't ever really say "look they did what they promised" when they are promising not to do something. We just have to ap

Eh. I buy an Android because it suits my usage better. I do also disagree with Apple's philosophy but that honestly isn't why I don't have one. I used to have an iPhone when Androids weren't as good feature wise for my u

For me two things have helped a lot with self esteem/coming out of this kind of situation. Firstly it is focusing on self improvement in a healthier way. I don't think about what I would like to improve or could do better so much

Why is the best interpretation that she was a prostitute of questionable age as opposed to just... a prostitute? Legitimate question, I haven't been following this closely enough to know. If it was reasonable to assume she was an adult
