If you can’t run a machine at home then you can’t self-host. You’re welcome to cloud-host though.

You make a good point.

It’ll never happen, as nice as it sounds.
So I’m Canadian and we have separatists in, now 2 provinces.
Whether the latest is a conservative US psy-op, is up for debate. But that is probably part of it.
The Quebec separatists have been angry for the total of my lifetime and being from BC I’ve mostly ignored their plight of “different culture” but I never wanted to lose that chunk of the country and to me it’s part of the greater Canadian culture.
The Alberta “separatists” are different, they are more like traitors.
Citing stats like, “Alberta (oil and gas province, the “Texas” of Canada) contributes more in equalization payments to other Canadians provinces!”, which is true, as a total sum.
But the morons don’t understand that equalization payments are taken from federal taxes in a bracketed tax system, so it just means on average, Albertans are richer. The rich they cry that they’re not getting fair share…
Epitome of greed.
They believe because they were simply born there, moved there, that all the mineral and oil and gas profits belong to them. They’re even more idiotic to believe the producers will share these profits with them.
They’re not taking that away from our country, and it’s worth going to war over. I think California would end up falling into the same situation of belief, though reversed between conservative and left-of-conservative views.
They’d go to war over it. So bit of a dangerous play.

For every VR mod that gets used in Cyberpunk, the game also had to be sold.
CD Project Red got its money too.
They’re whining that someone added value to their product before they could, and want to sell it themselves.
So this just seems like monopolistic behaviour to me.

Yo don’t accept any neck-collars from strangers.

TUIF!

Straw-man argument bud. You may as well be house press secretary. You said it yourself. “Its inherently undemocratic and unethical to do less work someone [else].”
An while you’re not technically correct about that either, the person you’re describing that did no work is the one who sells their bathwater in this meme.
Come on… I know you can do it… Your brain only has little bit more to go and you’ll get it.

I can understand when one might be upset about the state of the world. Who isn’t, eh? Comrade?
But no, your 100% hypethetical revelation that those people must inherently mistreat or underpay their staff, without any other context is a ridiculous leap. There is no question who adds more value, because of the way value is added. It is the way it is, because of the way it is.
Lawers can be skeezy.
Tech startup bros can be skeezy.
Hookers can be skeezy.
The care worker that takes care of your kids, could be skeezy. They are individuals. There will always be those people.
The professions are not inherently evil. There would be a version of them in any type of society whether it be fascist, socialist, communist, capitalist, or otherwise.
And they should always need to be performed open and honestly enough to have public approval of the processes.
There also will always be some form of prostitution.
But that can be done in a back alley.
And that’s why it doesn’t have much as much value.

“How about you explain how it’s not sexist?”
Because if it was a guy who chose to be a stay at home dad and his bread-winner-wife divorced him and he cried about it on the internet, I’d also say he’d get child support and alimony.
Give your balls a tug.

“Fucking gross…” Lol.
You wanna web-stalk my comments and carry over a topic from a different thread here, alrighty, only a few points, which pertain to that thread.
You’re stuck in your little echo-chamber-masterbatorium, worried about someone turning off your porn more than the economic and societal outcomes sites like OnlyFans create.
You wrap your defence in this fake anti-misogyny/anti-sexism flag, as if creating the conditions that lead women to do OnlyFans type sex work doesn’t itself come from a misogynistic place.
You quote my joking replies to those that made a joke to me or tried to come at me with nothing but an insult, to try to paint me as sexist? Tha. Fuck. Lol.
As if the opinion that the incel types shouldn’t pay for OnlyFans and should instead maybe go work on themselves is misogynistic.
As if the opinion that an individual in sex work, the oldest profession as they say and also one that requires nearly zero skill, should not accrue more value than a doctor or lawyer who has to take on great debt and great time to learn their trade and benefit society, is a point of view that comes from misogyny or sexism.
Your position is like saying, a McDonalds fry cook should be paid more than a teacher.
Porn is just an attraction. If tomorrow a fat guy eating French fries on cam (which in this day and age probably exists somewhere lol) became attractive enough that he made 30 to 100 grand a month, I’d have the same opinion on that as I do about OnlyFans. I think so would most people.
You’re trying to make that opinion, anti-woman or anti-sex-work, to suit your narrative.
It’s anti-bullshit bud.
You’re slow, or you’re opinion is hypocritical. So your stalking me around because my opinion differs from yours, doesn’t matter… and the downvotes from your little echo-chamber pals don’t matter either…
It’s absolutely hilarious to me, you spent time to bother writing such bullshit to me simply because you want to defend access to porn and prove that point so desperately. The real world is outside, where I live. An absolute comedy, you telling me to touch grass.

Why does it come across as sexist? Which part is untrue? Tell me about the “economic realities on the ground”, and the experience you’ve had that makes you an expert in this field.

@grok: Elon has improved cereal technology 1000 fold. He is truly a genius exceeding Einstein and his shlonger is at a minimum longer than Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s from that scene in BASEketball.

Me: Hi
GenAI.mil: Hey there, what can I help you with today?
Me: how do I circumvent a blow-box on my car?

I mean… a young person who knows zero about the world we live in but thinks they’re an arm-chair quarterback for what society should be might think so.
I kid… I know you’re being facetious.

Me: Hi.
Chatgpt: Hey there. How can I help you today?
Me: How do I make a bowl of cereal and eat it?

Yeah one question. I said I was a bartender and waiter. I made about 20 maybe 30 grand gross probably a year with tips. It was a while ago, granted, but the cost of everything increased quite disproportionately to wages since then anyway and you seem like you’re trying real hard to prove something.
So my questions is, what the fuck are you on about?

How much is one salary, to you?

You’re not here for the, leopards ate my face, part of this are you?

No I haven’t tried to live on a fraction of a salary [edit: actually I was a waiter and bartender for years so technically I did live on a fraction of a salary :)…]. But she tried to live on zero salary doing the trad wife method. Did you miss the point of ops post?

She shouldn’t worry. She’ll get half, and alimony, and child support.
In my experience the tears are most likely aimed at prepping her followers for her GoFundMe requests.
