Paying more for good quality tools to fix things properly can seem like a luxury initially, but they're worth it when you're 10 years down the line and still able to use the same set as if they were brand new.

What was that story warning people that if they use RedNote they'll experience 'Chinese style censorship' for the first time?

According to OnlyFans' own data, the average monthly income for content creators (the term used to refer to those who have monetized profiles on OnlyFans) is only $277.77 (Silverman, Dec 2022). But, even for those who spend a minimum of 40 hours a week (full-time) preparing content, cross-marketing on social media, and communicating with content consumers (or buyers), the average monthly income is still only $1,111.00 (Avery Center, 2022). That is an average annual income of $13,332.00, which is below the poverty line.

OF is capitalist exploitation disguised as female empowerment. Until a federated equivalent is developed the majority of profits will continue to go to platform owners.

No, some of them are also insurrectionists who've already tried to overthrow their government once.

My MY21 Hyundai Kona feels like a normal car without all those extra features. Lots of tactile buttons, there's a headphone jack/USB. It's really just a regular car with an EV engine.

My guess. Dud was just totally disconnected from reality. He isn't that smart and didn't understand how badly he'd fucked up.

I was playing some Everspace 2 and while it sure is pretty and feels pretty good there was something lacking that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. I’m only 20 hours or so into it but I just felt like it wasn’t quite living up to my memories of Freelancer.

Now I last played Freelancer over 15 years ago so I was sure that I was just seeing this through a heavy mist of nostalgia, so I reinstalled the old game, installed the HD mod and a few other user made tweaks and loaded it up. The opening scenes were definitely nostalgic but once I started to fly missions properly again it became crystal clear, nope Freelancer still kicks the shit out of every other space game I’ve ever played since.

Elite Dangerous, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, Everspace 2, Spacebourne 2, EVE Online, (edit adding more I’ve played here: Chorus, Star Citizen, No Mans Sky) they all have strengths but nothing feels as good as the grand daddy Freelancer.

Handmaiden of the neoliberal ethos, the global, multibillion-dollar self-help industry propagates illusions and reinforces delusions about individual agency. Sustaining the neoliberal paradigm of individual rather than collective responsibility...
