… Interesting.

In Australia cartoon child porn is enforced in the same way as actual child porn. Not that it answers your question but it’s interesting.

I’d imagine for your question “it depends”, some people who would have acted on their urges may get their jollies from AI child porn, others who have never considered being pedophiles might find the AI child porn (assuming legal) and realise it’s something they were into.

I guess it may lower the production of real child porn which feels like a good thing. I’d hazard a guess that there are way more child porn viewers than child abusers.

Oh right, I was not aware of JKRs comments on funding anti-trans organisations. I guess my point still stands, I.e. that people often don’t have deep insight into the creators of the art they are enjoying, so considering liking Harry Potter as a statement about their feelings on the author doesn’t resonate with me but I understand why you’d have issues with it with the funding comment in mind.

Entirely agree on liking Andrew Tate being a red flag in the same way liking JKR directly would be a red flag. It’s more liking the books that JKR put out years before anyone heard her potentially rotting brain driven opinions on trans people that I don’t think should be seen as a red flag without at least some questioning about their thoughts on the author.

I thought it was funny.

As far as supporting JKR goes: JKR is a horrible person who no-one should listen to but Harry Potter is pop culture. I’m pretty comfortable personally with disconnecting the two in my head. I don’t think people enjoying Harry Potter should be seen as “supporting JKR”, hell a lot of them wouldn’t even be aware of JKRs noise.

Obviously I haven’t read the comments here a ton but are people really supporting JKR or are you just treating people enjoying Harry Potter as support for JKR? I think there should be a distinction. It’s not really people’s job to deep dive into the personal lives of the creators or people involved in every piece of art they enjoy.

What are Ukraine’s demands for surrender?

What is your source for this? Sounds like something my religious grandma drops to justify all of the bad in that book.

Good for her, but arguably it’s not supposed to be a high paying job. A living wage, sure, but higher than a job that you presumably studied for and required relatively uncommon knowledge seems wrong.

So I guess the answer is no, we wouldn’t expect restaurants to work out how much people get paid in tips and match it, it would be a liveable wage and if the current workers don’t like it they would leave.

I don’t know that your girlfriend getting bankrolled is common across the industry either, tips rely on high traffic and customers with big pockets. Most wait staff don’t brag about how rich they are.

Are these people living in real dangerous areas or are they just convinced any unexpected car entering their driveway is out to murder them?

Second similar article in a short period, the other was a pizza delivery that went to the wrong address and got shot at.

Wait, what? Ubuntu spams you in the terminal?

Seems like it’s for old gaming consoles that used the antenna connection to work. I had an Atari 2600 but I do not recall needing to set a specific channel, probably says more about my memory than anything. Pushing 40.

Are steam workers particularly happy or something?

Why not just have a VR fridge app that connects remotely to cameras in your fridge? Or even better some ML shit that would identify what is in your fridge.

Do the content creators still make money off of your views if you do not see an ad?

I use YouTube Premium with a family membership and have used all of the slots with family members. $33 a month isn’t bad for 5 people to have ad free YouTube, still fund the content creators and also have YouTube Music.

You think you aren’t covering the other 90% of the retail price, if not more, in some other way by using that plan?
