Okay, that is fair enough - although one small thing I’d add is “psychological issues not greatly exacerbated by his former employer” - where I also don’t think intentionality is important, as long as they callously don’t consider the potential of that exacerbation.

Thing is: psychological issues don’t exist in a vacuum. For example - let’s say he was robbed of all perspectives to ever work again in a field he was passionate about by his former employer de facto “blacklisting” him - they surely did not explicitly have this outcome in mind, but they accepted it as a possibility. Similar situation with the high suicide rates in countries like South Korea - they don’t exist the way they are because of independently existing, isolated mental illness, but because of a material system that interacts with, and sets the conditions of, psychological development.

So, you are right, it’s true that it could be, that it ends up as the result of a completely unrelated mental illness. But I’d be wary to take reports like “he actually had a diagnosis of depressive disorder” as simply washing OpenAI clean of all responsibility.

This just as a reminder: Even if this is to turn out to really 100% be a suicide, that just means they were able to silence him by driving him into suicide - basically by all important metrics the same as a corporate assassination with extra steps.

OF killed good amateur porn

As I have seen it pointed out, it’s not just that, although it is a huge part of it. Another, sadly, is that there was so much uncontrolled porn floating around the internet, much of it was pretty fucked up - involuntarily filmed and/or published without consent, not traceable, even with very unclear ages, etc., etc.

So as a secondary effect, that I think is highly positive, most sites also just don’t allow for non-verified content, or at least are much better at removing anything remotely suspicious. That leaves the OF stuff as the main non-studio-produced source, as it allows for easy, professional verifications.

As a quick reminder: don’t expect them to handle your load (lol) for free. If you are a gooner/goonette with some income, leave a tip for the server costs and consider volunteering for mod duties if you have time and some internet social skills. If you value your nsfw communities, they don’t exist without work, like any other community.

Like - a lot of Reddit users seemed to have accounts specifically to interact with porn, I think that transfers well into the Fediverse, you just get your porn account on an instance that is federated with the porn ones.

Basically this, but usually the best ideas come to me during smoke breaks instead. (Still trying to kick that addiction, don’t smoke, kids, I’ve managed to get rid of alcohol and other drugs I experimented with in the past, nicotine just won’t fucking stop with the fucking urges, even when you manage to “quit” for months at a time.)

Ah, sad, thank you for researching! Here’s hoping it will come back in some form.

Yeah, I interpreted it as such, which made me even more confused there’s only milk and no other dairy products. Here in Germany at least, if protein for cheap is what you want, you go with Quark or Harzer.

EDIT: Huh, I just did some very rough math in my head, going with 1,35€ for a 500g pack of Quark from Lidl, and interestingly, that seems to put it roughly at the same place as actual milk, with it having 60g of protein, that is fascinating.

I am a little thrown off by there being no cheeses and other dairy products at all. How does stuff like Skyr, Yoghurt, Quark, etc. compare?

For its time, it was a real classic, and it still has a lot of good elements (English localization is lackluster though, from what I heard.) Back when it was new, I remember all my friends playing it here in Germany.

If you enjoy an open world RPG with a very immersive, believable world, that has basically every character with schedules, motivations and personality, this still delivers more than even most modern games. Controls are… from a time when control schemes weren’t yet standardized and fully figured out. And combat, while appearing like an action-RPG, is actually above all stats-based, armor and weapons being the most important things to unlock content.

But overall, I’d recommend Gothic 2 more, it’s basically “the same but better and more”. It’s definitely worth a look to anyone interested in retro RPGs .

Hey, just be glad I changed it from asdf_test_3, okay?

In diesem Modell geht es um die Profitkrise der 70er Jahre, welche den Neoliberalen Reformen voraus ging. Leider habe ich gerade nicht Zeit und Resourcen lange zu antworten, bin akut und die nächsten Wochen recht ausgelastet, aber hier zwei Grafiken, welche die Nettoprofitrate im Zeitverlauf abbilden, ich habe die Quelle gerade nicht mehr vermerkt in typischer Schusseligkeit, aber Suchen nach “Net rate of profit vs year” oder ähnliches sollten Ergebnisse bringen.

Das ist so die Sache, die Meinung innerhalb der Bevölkerung ist die eine Sache, aber die anhaltende Krise seit den späten 70ern eine Realität, welche überall auf der Welt neoliberale Politik und Austeritätsdenken durch realen materiellen Druck verursacht hat. Diese Maßnahmen kamen ja nicht von ungefähr oder nur durch einen Wechsel im Denken, der Wechsel im Denken selbst war und ist verursacht durch den Wechsel in den Wirtschaftsinteressen des Kapitals in dieser Ära. Eine einfache Rückkehr zu dem selben System, aber wieder mit mehr Sozialstaat, geht gegen diese Interessen, und so wird dann auch die Ideologie geformt, um die Maßnahmen und den Status Quo zu legitimieren (es geht nicht anders, Alternativen wären noch schlimmer, woanders ist es noch schlimmer, Systemwechsel geht nicht).

Der Wunsch der Rückkehr zum Alten ist verständlich, aber so nicht möglich, ohne noch grundlegender die Strukturen zu verursachen, die das Verkrüppeln des Sozialsystems ers möglich gemacht, ja sogar bedingt haben. Das Ende des Sozialstaats hat global die Marktwirtschaft gerettet, indem die Profitrate (halbwegs) stabilisiert werden konnte. Um eine Gesellschaft zu haben, die wirklich derartige Grundinteressen jenseits denen der besitzenden Klasse durchsetzt, muss die Waren- und Profitdynamik selbst überwunden werden, welche die Ideologie verursacht.

Eine simple “Rückkehr zum Alten” innerhalb der momentanen materiell-historischen Situation ist eigentlich nur denkbar in einem System, welches diese Sozialleistungen als Privileg mit großen Ausschlusskriterien für und Ausbeutung von anderer/n Gruppen bietet. Unser momentan ja schon schwindender Luxus nährt sich ja schon stark daraus.

I was, and am, skeptical, but I also must admit, the potential breakthrough is teasing my psyche with that feeling of just wanting it to be real. A part of me hopes that maybe it will still end up confirmed by other peers, but, granted, it was a low chance even when the news first came out.

Lina E. did nothing wrong

Wer kennt nicht die Demorufe:

“Wer hat uns verraten?
Auf jeden Fall nicht die Sozialdemokraten
Denn wir sind die
Gewaltbereite Terrorgruppe der Sozialdemokratie!”

Auf der Kupplung zwischen den Waggons dürfte wenig bis kein Fahrtwind sein, und so lange die Beschleunigungen moderat sind, ist die Endgeschwindigkeit nicht so wichtig und kann fast beliebig hoch werden.
