Yeah, i mean she uses a tablet when doing the actual creating part, but mostly the job these days is moving assets around to fit the necessary sizes for different social media. I still don't understand how someone can stand to do that using a trackpad, but she's good at what she does so 🤷‍♂️

My partner is a psycho who does like 90% of her graphic design work on a 13" macbook air using only trackpad

Damn. That's 750,000 miles in Freedom* Units. Too bad they'll never be allowed to sell to the US.

Pornhub does this in several US states. When you try to connect you get a message about why it's blocked in your state. So far I don't know of any state that has changed the law back.

Home owners association. Theoretically they exist for homeowners to collectively make neighborhoods they live in a better place, but in practice they often devolve into orgs led by busybodies drunk on power who harass homeowners just trying to live their lives the way they want.

To a point that is kind of true, but I would argue that a story without conflict isn't a story, it's a setting. It's the beginning of the movie. Here's the Shire; hobbits live here. Without difficulty, no grand adventure. I get it though, I struggle with the idea that harder difficulties means a higher chance I lose pawns I'm attached to, or might see destroyed colonies that I've worked a long time to create. But at the same time that risk is where the best stories are generated; that raider clan killed our first pawn so now we're gonna wipe them out with a group wearing their clan mate's skin as armour led by the clan chief's ex-wife who we convinced to join us instead.

To be clear, it's perfectly fine to play it however you want; there is no right or wrong way. But in my experience the best stories are created on higher difficulties because Rimworld isn't a story creator where you craft an entire narrative, it's a story generator. You aren't God; you're as much a part of the world as the pawns are.

You forgot the most important one: because Israel wants us to.

Of course. The plan is not to get a deal, the plan is to continually move the goalposts so that we can say "welp we tried being reasonable" and then go to war with Iran just like our Israeli overlords want.

Conceptually, it's always supposed to have been something akin to Patreon, where creators can be supported by fans via a subscription model. A combination of lax rules around nudity and probably sheer inertia meant that "creators" ended up being pretty much only sex workers. OF then tried to pivot away from that and we all knows how well that went.

It still is, it just depends on what kind of content you engage with. People on reddit/lemmy LOVE to hate on short form video content but it isn't inherently destructive or evil IMO., it just depends on how you interact with it.

I know online keyboard warrior armchair expert types always jump to mental health diagnoses but that sounds a lot like someone I know who has poorly regulated BPD/schizophrenia
