Cam girls and pornography are sex work too.

I feel like a lot of people don’t appreciate that instances are different communities, though. A new user may not see the difference, but the Ask Lemmy communities in .ml and .world are different based on the people who use each. If Lemmy grows, I can see the various instances becoming more distinct, not less.

I go between large and extra large, usually dependent on how close I want the shirt to fit. Also, most shirts are sized based on shoulder width over other dimensions.

As for pants, I usually have to try them on as the waist can be off by 2".

I’ve seen some discussion, but it is more geared towards how it may not be good for people consuming the services. Very few societies see sex work as a good thing, even if it is made to be equitable for those doing the sex work.

I cut the cord from cable TV over a decade ago and never went back. It was getting bad then; I can’t imagine how bad it is now.

A lot of the YouTubers from the 2010’s are gone, but I’ve found enough new ones to justify getting YouTube Premium to skip the ads. I don’t engage in individual videos, but I follow a set where YouTube can figure out what I want and I make sure to not watch any alt-right videos. I also subscribe to Dropout and Nebula, which shows the kind of videos I watch.

I’ve limited my news consumption to the Economist. It is expensive, but the bias is pretty muted in American News.

But overall, what we’re seeing is a race to the bottom on all media. It used to be that media took up valuable space, either in physical space or bandwidth. Now, the cost is media space is near zero, so there is a drive to the bottom where that never existed a generation ago.

I’m defining how a system functions; I’m not judging it.

I think that focusing everything on UBI and dismantling all other forms of welfare are going to create massive inequalities in society that few people anticipate.

For instance, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are effectively UBI free zones in some major metros with decent economies.

I don’t think it is. Unless you are the host of a major instance, most of your interactions are going to be on other instances; these instances can do whatever mod actions they want against you.

If there are people interact on your instance, then you have the ability to restrict their speech.

There is nothing inherently built into Lemmy that protects freedom of speech over Reddit other that being able to host your own instance.

Oh yeah, wrong channel.

Patrick H Wiiems does amazing film commentary, but don’t call it content.

Even his no effort November videos are high quality.

It depends on the engineering company.

For the kinds that I work for, it would likely be a few rounds of interviews for senior level positions with both the bosses and key subordinates to determine if the fit is natural. It would be easy to tell if they could do a similar enough job based on industry reputation.

I should fix it, but now it’s funnier that I don’t.

Everyone is a boy except for you.

The Case for Christ.

And I’m not even sorry.

I call people on Teams rather than ask if they are available.

Parents, no. Stepparents, yes.

You’re not wrong…
