tiefling , to asklemmy in Do you approve sex work? Why or why not?

Yes, as long as everyone involved is consenting. It needs to be destigmatized especially in healthcare settings.

sunzu , to videos in MrBeast showing his real personality, a year ago.

Grifter being exposed for grifting.

Suprised it took this long.

Also taking down a lot of his acolytes... Seeing Coffeezilla and others simpl for this trash was not cute. people with allegedly decent critical thinking skills went on camera to say good shit about his "charity"

🤡🤡🤡

some_guy , to asklemmy in Do you approve sex work? Why or why not?

Sex isn’t special in the sense of being on a pedestal. Sure, it can be magical in that two people in love come closer together, but that is also true of many intimate experiences. The physical act should not be restricted from being performed, shared, or even monetized because of the sense of morality of others.

Sex workers are working. They may get someone off via their actions, but they’re providing a service, same as someone who fixes your broken phone, provides medical care, or unclogs your toilet. It’s a form of labor.

My life doesn’t include a special realm or being beyond that of people to provide incentives or guidance on how to live. That’s entirely decided by people and their own sense of decency. Treat others well, as you’d wish to be treated, and try not to live in a way that negatively affects others. That’s the whole of morality to me. I think this will lead to a good life. In no way would paying for or receiving money for sexual acts be affected by it.

Hell, give me enough money and I’ll perform whatever sex acts you want.

juliebean , to asklemmy in Word to replace "weird" when used in a positive context

“weird” is an effective way to shut down right-wing nutjobs because they care too much about conformity, and are likely to change their behaviour if they believe they are going against the will of the herd. it undermines their whole ‘silent majority’ schtick.

all this to say, i’m autistic, i’m weird, and i don’t think that this new strategic use of the word in politics should mean you shouldn’t use it in other ways too.

Fleppensteijn , to asklemmy in How do you organise your music playlists?
@Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl avatar

I have different folders for different genres, then subdivided in folders for year of release.

I spent way too much time organizing this way back so I stick with it. Problems with this are that genes can overlap (could be fixed with symlinks?) and the year is something you often have to look up (id3 often shows year of the album which is not always the year it came out).

houstoneulers , to asklemmy in How do you organise your music playlists?

I make playlists by what songs i was feeling each year. This way I can go back and reminisce and reflect on what I was going through.

Some lists repeat the same songs but are generally uniquely. For example, Radiohead’s Creep is on many of my lists.

ornery_chemist , to showerthoughts in To distinguish between the word woman and women, we change the A to an E, but only change the pronunciation on the O.

Best I can tell from quick internet searches: Old English: wīfmann/menn (“female person/s”). The w rounded the following vowel giving a wo- pronunciation, which for some reason (umlaut?) stuck for the singular but not the plural. The spelling of the plural changed to match that of the singular in spite of the pronunciation.

livingcoder , to programmerhumor in Popular Programming Book "Clean Code" is being rewritten

The bit of Clean Code that I read was unimpressive, but Clean Architecture was amazing. I view that book as required reading for anyone who wants to write code professionally. If Uncle Bob hasn’t realized that his coding style is worse than alternatives, I do not see how a second version of the same bad ideas is going to do well.

Inui , to piracy in Pirating VR games

You can just launch them like normal and have Steam open in the background. Or launch them as non-Steam games from Steam if necessary. They generally detect your headset and controllers.

I dont know that you can play pirated VR games for a different platform that easily though, as in launching a Quest exclusive game with an Index or vice versa. I never tried.

What? Clipper guards are single-digit numbers like 0 or 2

FiniteLooper ,

I agree, but to be fair to OP, 5 and 9 are also single digit numbers.

UnrefinedChihuahua ,

My Andis set has a number, as well as both metric and freedom units on each guard.

Frozyre , to asklemmy in Do you approve sex work? Why or why not?

Not really. I've never paid for a prostitute, I've never gone to a single strip club in my life or anything. I've only read the horror stories of what porn actors had gone through and it's really not a sustainable way of living.

Sex should be treated as just a consenting activity between two or more people where nobody has to be hurt or wronged in any way for doing.

There's a lot of variables and unchecked liabilities involved when it comes to treating sex as like a job.

ferrodegaragem , to asklemmy in What web browser extensions would you highly recommend to others?

I use uBlock Origin, Malwarebytes, Privacy Badger, Bitdefender’s Trafficlight and Simple Translate.

The last one is useful for translating selected text.

Socsa ,

Have you tried consulting Lenin’s slowly decomposing corpse?

Zombie Lenin suggested gtfo Ukraine, so he had him shot and buried again. He’s got a team looking for the Romanovs’ mass grave now.
