Amazed no one has mentioned MyAnonamouse. They have open sign ups pretty regularly, the best private tracker I’ve ever seen. Great for ebook and audiobooks both.

Instructions unclear, discussed sexual boundaries with my players.
I’m kind of an early access freak, but I put in about 80 hours and enjoyed it. There were definitely problems early, and I don’t plan on going back to it for at least a year, enough for them to release substantially more and it feels fresh.
Thank you for actually providing an explanation beyond stating the word “science”

Scrolled through a ton of comments but honestly this sums it all up for me. Lemmy isn’t large enough to support niche memes and content.
You should really talk to HR. If you’re super duper non-confrontational, I see maybe two other options:
Chastise Ann for not having your back. Make her tell Ned to stop being a creep
Talk to Ned’s boss informally and say Ned has made uncomfortable comments/advances.
I had to look this up, didn’t know about Bowie. He had underage groupies, at least as young as 15 (Lori Mattix). Apparently she remembers that time fondly, but today we would rightly call it coercion and pedophilia. She was treated kindly, probably given all the drugs she “wanted”, but that’s still a child.
There’s a counter argument about how later in life, he refused a kissing scene between him and Jennifer Connelly during Labyrinthe, and that shows he understands the age gap is wrong.
I don’t regularly listen to David Bowie. I can sometimes separate the art from artist, but I’m now gonna have trouble knowing he was having sex with (raping) a 15 year old girl.
Eric Clapton is super racist, John Lennon abandoned his kid.
You are 100% correct.
I think OP agrees with you too, but the question is more around the “why”. Once, we were also like animals, and didn’t have clothing. To the animal brain, things like large breasts or wide hips means better reproduction. Did we start to cover up because it was cold and we got sick? It makes more sense to me that we started for practical reasons, and the hyper-sexualization came later, probably with religion.
Today, women are sexualized to an insane degree, and expanded to any number of inane body parts and not just breasts.
I think OPs question could also be phrased as “why did sex become so taboo?” And we might get a broader picture.
As a counterpoint, I like it in video games for the same irl reason: it saves time.
I do love games where it feels alive when traveling on foot/horse/etc. but I would rather fast travel if I’ve already explored it, generally speaking.
Definitely the latter.
Sex work in the US is still considered highly shameful, even as the amount of content grows every year and is clearly consumed by a ton of people in the US. Businesses don’t want to be associated with the taboo.
I’d say so, at least sometimes. Imagine finding somewhat recent Facebook posts from a new hire and finding out they’re a Nazi, racist, etc. I’d still want grounds to fire them.
Whether this situation applies? I don’t think so. Some company just doesn’t want to risk bad PR.
I don’t think it needs to be two separate queues, just matchmaking could add it as a preference.
People who had you listed will just see “Deleted Account” instead of your name, and a little ghost as your avatar.
They will still see your chat history though.
Any time I have an evil playthrough on a game, I have to disassociate completely.
Otherwise it’s like “WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO KILL MOL” 😭
Forgive my ignorance, I thought the game was just PvE? So people are paying to advance faster?
The irony is palpable.
What if corporations didn’t count as people? If they didn’t worship the almighty dollar and put profits over people? Could capitalism work?
No idea, probably not, but I’m not an economist. And humans are notoriously bad at screwing up basically every form of government.
Also, that wasn’t my viewpoint, but you gotta admit that a lot of things in life would be better if human nature were completely (positively) different. Our lizard brains are wired for self preservation.
110% agree.
I could say “you know, I guess I can kinda see why people thought free market capitalism would work”
And someone will come out of the woodwork like “I can’t believe you think billionaires profiting off exploitation is actually a good idea”
First of all, no? Lol I’m saying I understand why people might think it would work, but for some reason forget that we as a people are generally selfish. Human nature and corruption and all that, people in power hoard power.
Yeah, I’ve gotten a lot from free leech and then just leave it running all the time to get points for other books.
