@niclas that looks like a fine workshop you've got there! :)

i'd really like to do something mechanical too, but i really haven't got enough time for that :/

if you had to figure out basic command line stuff on your own before you could get online, that would probably be more than sufficient to keep the unwashed masses out

Also Reaktion auf restriktive #Corona Maßnahmen melden immer mehr #Eltern ihre #Kinder von den #Schulen ab und organisieren #Heimunterricht.
Das wird nun von den Regierenden zunehmend erschwert und auch diskredidiert.
Dass dabei aber nun mit Christoph #Wiederkehr von den #NEOS nun auch in #Liberaler mitmacht, dass finde ich befremdlich!

This generation of academics is destroying the credibility that their predecessors have spent generations building.

sometimes i have this weird feeling that the languages are thoroughly mixed up in my brain and that something i wrote/said is completely wrong :D

@velartrill
the idea behind the german legalization was that it's not going away anyway, so at least let the women have the same benefits (social insurance stuff). i can follow the reasoning, but it was made for another time.

@retroartdt

hot take about things 

@retroartdt i was more thinking about sites like onlyfans where it's explicitly in exchange for money. i think decentralized would make this very hard. at least, it wouldn't be some big company making the most profit.

@velartrill

my issue is more with the normalization of it as means to make money. we're on our way raising a generation of people thinking it's perfectly normal to make money this way. if you wan't to post nudes on the net, be my guest, it can go as "experimentation". taking money for it is IMO a completely different thing, ethically and (from my armchair) psychologically. i think this shows in your anecdote of the couple breaking up over it.

i agree that it's seperate from street prostitution.

@retroartdt

a secret Big Dick doesn't want you to know is that successful (monogamous) relationships are extremely simple, you just have to love each other, be honest, act in good faith, be honest, commit yourself 100% to your partner above all else in life, and oh yeah BE FUCKING HONEST. it's just that none of this works unless it goes both ways and both partners are giving their all. modern culture is designed to systemically undermine our desire and ability to do just that. but whether by god or natural selection, men and women are made for each other, and you'd be amazed what you can make work so long as you both want it more than anything else in the world. otherwise, ngmi.

if you bail after a couple of fights, you're not committed, you're just a coward. if you bail because things were easy and simple before but after a while you hit a rough patch, you're not committed, you're just a soulless sybarite. if you bail because he lost his job, you're not committed, you're just a whore. if you bail because they came down with depression or health problems or whatever, you're not committed, you're a deadbeat loser. despite what americans believe, marriage is not a thing to extract profits from and then discard when it's no longer of immediate use to you.

if you look for excuses to break your promises, your odds of successfully committing to anything, ever, in life aren't good.

@velartrill @retroartdt @Barbarian

it's millenials with no future watching streams of teens with no future, all for the profit of those who are responsible for the "no future" part :)

@velartrill

well, judging by purely materialist standards that's not being a victim, sure. i naively assumed that that's not the only thing people care about :)
