If the sex worker is consenting without duress and is being treated well (I recognize that's a big 'if') then I'm fine with it. I have no inherent objections to sex work itself so it would feel like a double standard to judge the people who use it.
Unfortunately the moral waters are muddied by the rampant trafficking, drug abuse, etc. within the industry.
Yeah, I dropped Spotify when they started plastering my home screen with ads for podcasts that I didn't want to listen to. If there had even just been a way to hide them after the fact, but no. I guess they really needed to justify the deal with Joe Rogan.
I had fallen off a bit anyway; the amount of click baiting had gone through the roof, quality of videos plateaued. Now caught dead to rights on poor journalistic integrity and allegations of sexual harassment in the workplace?
All so that I can drool over graphics cards I can't afford? Easy choice to unsubscribe.
Be better, LTT
Jesus. The GOP is really trying to salt the Earth with two entire generations...
A Google shows that they actually approved something similar back and April and got sued for it, but I haven't been able to figure out how that lawsuit went/is going.
This seems a preposterously terrible decision...
I'm no expert, but I think it's got something to do with prolonged exposure to the sun
Be reasonable. I supported Bernie too, but I don't think Hillary would have plotted an insurrection...
Women in the US are doing that too.
I guess it works, to a point. If your man throws a Shapiro-esque fit over this movie he probably isn't great to be around the rest of the time.
I bought sync pro and have sync for lemmy installed; there's no way to activate pro right now, and afaik that option is not coming.
Presently you can buy a permanent ad removal in-app for $20, you can subscribe to sync ultra for $17/yr, or you can use it free with ads.
It's a good app, and the dev absolutely deserves to make money. If I understand correctly, developing sync is his full-time job. The prices are definitely steeper than with sync for reddit, but Lemmy is a much smaller community. He can't necessarily expect as many sales.
Oh, neat. My state did something not completely stupid. I've got some reservations about nuke power as opposed to renewable, but this is definitely better than continuing fossil fuels.
I think the big deal will be if it's sustained. Losing a bunch of users for a month isn't a big deal if they come back, or at least stop leaving. If Reddit loses 3% of its users every month for a year then things will be pretty dire for them.
Can't say I've got much sympathy for Reddit, though.
Hardly the first time someone has smiled in a mugshot, guilty or innocent.
If found innocent then it takes on an 'I told you so' energy. If guilty it makes you look like an even bigger piece of shit.
I wouldn't be surprised if the severity of their situation hasn't fully set in yet. The realization will come crashing down if/when the first of them is found guilty.
