To me, what I feel like they take away is valuable screentime. This opnion does hinge upon the fact that I feel most sex scenes are superfluous and don't add anything to the movie they are in. To be honest, these seems to be further backed by the fact quite a few sex scenes are done at the behest of sudio executives and not directors, because they know sex sells, at least with older generations. I feel like a lot of younger people recognize this and don't really care for a sex scene for the sake of itself.

This is all not to say I think there shouldn't be sex movies. I do think it can be part of the plot and add to the narrative, I just don't think that is always why we get one.

Most the shit on this sub is stupid, but I have to admit this one gave me a chuckle, even if it is a little mischaracterizing Linux.

Edit: also, guitar hero basically already does exist on Linux (and Windows and Mac) it's called Clone Hero

Justice Lindsey Miller-Lerman, who ruled with the majority, criticized Evnen and Hilgers for attempting such a massive rollback of voting rights right before a major election. “Why now?” she wrote. “Why not take the opportunity to challenge the laws long ago with available remedies, rather than creating uncertainty at this time?”

We all know why

Depends on what I am using it for. I quite like oat milk in my coffee drinks. I feel like it is nice to have the oaty flavor paired with the coffee taste.

Lol, "my personal anecdotal story, means someone else is crazy and wrong, despite me having no other evidence either."

Of course most of us don't love it. A lot of us live in places where, due to concepts like gerrymandering, we have no political choice, so people have to resort to stuff like this. We love that people are fighting back, not that it has to be this way.

Something that always gets me is when people lump in anti-religion with these others. Reglion in any country with freedom of religion is a choice, these other things are not. Someone doesn't choose to be a particular ethnic group. Someone doesn't choose to be disabled. People don't choose to be gay or have gender dysphoria People do choose to believe in things that I think are ridiculous and saying that I cannot call that out is just religious people saying you can't call them out. If you can tell me I am burning in hell because I don't believe in your pie man in the sky then I can tell you that you are stupid for believing in a pie man in the sky and comment on absurd actions that are caused by those beliefs.

If you do, please know that it is possible the people at the booth are just low level employees with no say in the corporate policy and while these companies do deserve your ire, these individuals don't deserve you yelling or screaming. By all means let them know your opinion and tell them that version is not welcome at the parade, but don't attack or harass the employees.

Speaking as someone who lives in a lower cost of living area, yeah it is not worth it.

They literally are making a new app that, sure, has a very similar look and feel but its for a completely different platform. Sure, it probably shares UI code, but I'm sure a lot of the code to pull from reddit had to be scrapped. I think they deserve to be compensated for their effort and giving any one the app just because they paid for a different app woyls not be compensarion for their efforts. They have to get paid so they can live just like you and me.
