This is a wild finding. People reading a text can change their opinion on things? Can we, like, invent written pages that do this? We can even call them books or blogs. Doesn’t matter who writes them or how wrong the text can be, but it’s clear people can read and change their opinions

I remember getting an episode/panic attack/whatever that was. For solid 5-10 minutes, I felt like boiling from the inside and sweat started to drip from my forehead. I stripped naked and felt more comfortable that way till it passed. Thankfully I was alone, so no awkward experience.

AI models can work locally. Your bank account on the other hand…

Board members, who have to vote. He cannot unilaterally control the company.

Institutional investors like Vanguard and BlackRock own over 65% of Amazon.

Amazon is not really owned by any singular person. Yes, Bezos owns 8% of it, but he’s neither CEO, nor a president of the company.

He’s founder of Amazon, not owner of it.

Step 1: Wake up

Step 2: Realize that people have never been okay with the idea of paying more, they only like to talk about making more (somehow, magically). I feel like rising prices are actually the only thing that can bring down Trump and MAGA, that’s how much people hate it

How exactly and why do you expect people to simply pay more for games so that few people could make more money, likely in a different country? I just don’t see market working like that.

Besides, how would you even start this without investors? Creating a product takes a long time, and you want to pay high wages while the company makes nothing?

Not sure what this comment means. I’m in a poor eastern country and I use VPN to Netherlands to browse torrent trackers. Pretty sure my country is far more problematic than central EU, but for whatever reason my poor country protects US interests more than most of the EU

Genocide for thee not for me

The genitals are censored in porn, not in real life. I get what you said, but…

If you get a document with redacted lines, then it’s a censored document.

The comment is still here tho

EDIT: And it’s the most downvoted comment I’ve seen on lemmy

I’ve always wondered why are comments about overpopulation downvoted on Lemmy when that is objectively, scientifically a real problem. Last I checked, earth can handle around 3-4 billion people under our consumption model. The earth is dying.

I do believe that once problems that commonly at the core occur from overpopulation (ie. rise in cost of living, housing crisis, water problems, etc.) the humans will simply not feel like making kids, so this is self-correcting problem, but still very damaging.

But I already explained that part in a lengthy comment about how scarcity leads to development of desires/lust, which can translate into weird porn categories like public voyeur or touching of private parts in public transport

Wait, are you saying that censorship of genitals is not a censorship of porn? I never said “lots of”, I said strict. Censoring nudity is strict in my opinion.

Random, but why are Americans so obsessed with protein all of sudden? Did some big corp poured lots of money into marketing? I’ve never really cared about it and my build is fine. I do remember reading a study that high protein intake leads to health issues, not better health, and then you hear nutritionists scream about protein obsession and how that’s not good. Nearly all already have optimal protein intake without any supplements or “extra protein foods”. Humans generally don’t need to think about protein intake.

Technically that’s not porn afaik and does not break their laws. One could argue they adapted, but I too don’t feel like claiming Hentai and others are a byproduct of censorship

EDIT: Forgot to answer your question lol - Yes, Japan has one of the strictest rules on pornography amongst developed countries.

My argument is quite long and hard to describe since English is my third language and this is essentially science.

Long story short, during development of brains, humans develop things they are going to enjoy doing, getting, etc that are often related to what was going on in your life at the time. So if you limit your child from enjoying candies, brain can incidentally develop lust towards sweets. It is believed that limiting your children from masturbating and seeing boobies during puberty can really screw him up as an adult. Psychologically and neurologically, scarcity can lead to development of desire. Intimate desires to see someone naked to the point you act on them (almost all men dream about seeing someone naked, but actually acting on your desires is whole another level of wanting) are a common thing in Japan.

I genuinely don’t know if my Postal 2 is a valid example, but I played some really screwed up games in my young years (10-15), I was fully aware that these things are screwed up, I knew the difference between right and wrong, and I grew up with that idea while exploring the fucked up side of the world, including browsing 4chan at the age of 13. Good times. Still, grew up as a loving human who’s anti-violence and anti-everything-evil

We came up with non-existing problem (kids have never had real problems with seeing nudity. See:Africa. They’re either disinterested or capable of processing what is going on without getting brain-damaged), tried to solve it, and created a real problem during this process.

Generally developed countries do not censor or limit access to pornographic or adult material. Japan is pretty special case and a very good study in this regard, and they have quite a lot of creeps and creep porn, relatively speaking. People like to assume that banning nudity or violence from young minds is going to make humans grow up with less screwed up minds, but turns out the exact opposite thing happened. I remember my favourite childhood game being Postal 2. I’m fully against violence as a grown-up and it’s been 2 decades since I hit someone.

So what do you call it when older people do it, but the screen is further away (TV)?

Japan was a real life experiment for censoring access to porn. Why do countries want to follow a bad example? Start buying spy camera finders and protect your private areas in trains
