ech,

“Used to be”. Dude, you’ve been here less than a year.

ech,

I don’t often see this much bigotry in one Lemmy comment.

ech,

(US) Thanksgiving needs to ally with Halloween to re-Fallify November.

ech,

I guess I’m the only one that’s gonna question the image domain?

ech,

No rules broken, written or otherwise. Just that stop.voring.me is a particularly strange domain name.

ech,

When did it become the expected norm to receive endless updates for a one time purchase? How is that a “pump-and-dump”? Unless the game is a buggy, broken mess (and maybe it is, I’m not familiar with FC6), once the purchase is made, any additional content or service should be considered a bonus, not a mandate.

ech,

Except this isn’t about DRM, or even online game servers. They literally said all of that will continue. They’re just not making DLC anymore and people are calling it a “pump-and-dump”.

ech,

What’s that got to do with not making DLC for a game anymore?

ech,

For someone in that position, it is a problem, though. If students get around to seeing their teacher naked or engaged in sexual acts, that becomes an issue. If it were 100% guaranteeable that that couldn’t happen, then you’d be right, but with it on the internet, that’s just not ever going to be a foolproof thing.

ech,

100%

ech,

Apart from the general disruption in the teacher-student relationship, it opens up a whole quagmire of how aware the teacher is of a student’s engagement with their content. Especially once the work is known of, it’s essentially a guarantee that at some point the teacher will be receiving money from a student for their content, which is clearly unacceptable.

ech,

Because the millions of other people (this isn’t a gender thing) aren’t responsible for those minors. It’s also not just finding “naked people on the internet”. Onlyfans’ whole objective is to profit off of parasocial relationships. Models are directly engaging with their customers, and in a situation where a teacher ends up willingly or otherwise selling sex media to their student, obvious problems arise.

ech,

I suppose I’m not sure what part of “teacher sells nudes and/or sex videos to student(s)”, purposefully or not, isn’t obviously problematic, but in general, the potential variations of issues are inexhaustible: determining whether the teacher is knowingly engaging their students, managing student behavior around the teacher, upholding the teacher’s authority with their students once the story is known, etc etc etc. There is no putting a lid on that sort of situation.

ech,

I can’t see a way she could have both gigs without the extreme likelihood, near certainty, of being found by a student. If she completely stopped the OF work, I could see a potential argument for her to keep her teaching position, but I also don’t expect the school would be interested in dealing with the inevitable disruptions from students behaving inappropriately around her, parents being hysterical about it, or whatever other problems could pop up.

ech,

It’s a problem whether the teacher is actively engaging students in that way or not. And you’re the one that demanded hypothetical specifics. Did you do that just to shit on them for being hypothetical? Or are you gonna discuss this in good faith?

ech,

And OF shouldn’t be allowing minors to access content in their site, but things aren’t perfect, and horny teens are going to be horny teens. This isn’t about who’s “responsible”, it’s about having realistic expectations.

ech,

Having the OF account isn’t just any old characteristic here. It’s the crux of it all. The likelihood of a student buying content from the teacher is not particularly low, and that’s just not an acceptable situation from someone in that position.

I’m not saying it’s her responsibility or anyone else’s to avoid being harassed, but it’s an inevitable issue among many that would be piling up atop the already unacceptable scenario given above, all adding pressure in favor of the school understandably deciding to just cut ties.

Is it too late to be posting spooky stuff?

This took me like a week to stitch, another week for my fingers to heal up, and then I went and forgot to post it 😭

My first ever hand embroidery piece. Not too shabby, I reckon! Good tree 😁

My official last project for the extended . Roll on the next one!

Closeup of the tree and the ghost, both made with raised puff stitches that give the piece a pleasing texture

ech,

More spooky stuff should be posted! Halloween should push back against the encroachment of the “Holiday Season”. Fight the Carey invasion. Seize the first weeks of November. Viva la Spooky.

ech,

everything else can just be swept to the side afterwards.

Into the dustpan

ech,

Gaas was a mistake and I’m hoping companies begin seeing this and course correcting. I get why it happened as it was wildly successful for most, but I’m pretty sure customers don’t actually want the same game and content for forever. Maybe there’s a way to fix it without abandoning the model entirely, but personally I’m hoping it goes away for good.

ech,

If you’re on mobile, try Newpipe. Been using it for years now without much issue.

ech,

Two incredibly dumb generalizations proven wrong in this very thread, but people like you are still perpetuating them.

ech,

Definitely! It’s a blast and a half.

ech,

“Refusing” to believe other people can like things just because you don’t is pretty dumb, tbh. Get over yourself. You’re not the arbiter of everything.

And fwiw, the reverse is also true, and anyone that keeps telling you that you just “haven’t tried the right one” can go kick bricks. You’re allowed to not like things, too.

ech,

It’s more of a “clear cookies” situation.

ech,

Pro-tip: Don’t link to rage-bait like this if you actually want to do anything about it. It’s what they want, and how they garner “activity” for the almighty Algorithm™

ech,

Besides the point, really. It wasn’t removed when they posted it.

ech,

As long as it’s hurting the “right people”, they will support it 100%, and by the time their little brains realize they’re not part of the in-group they think they are, it’ll be far too late.

ech,

Wtf lemonade are you drinking that’s high in caffeine?

ech,

Don’t be mixing number systems with different bases, y’all.

ech,

I view Pittsburgh as honorary Midwestern territory. It’s a fantastic city, too.

ech,

The US started as 13 colonies/states on the East coast. In the terminology, everything past that is “The West”, and this general area is the middle-ish part of that, so “Midwest”.

ech,

Well, good thing this is c/mildlyinfuriating and not c/legallyinfuriating.

ech,

Seriously, right? When will nose-erasure end?!

ech,

Probably a mix-drink thing. Like koolaid or something.

ech,

She’s not chubby. She’s fluffy! ;p

ech,

That makes sense, considering we’re not even a year out from the Seoul stampede. Personally, I don’t get the appeal of massive, crowded events anyhow. Particularly these days, it just seems like a bad time.

ech,

The first time I played MtG, my friend who was teaching me let me go off with the token deck he lent to me. I ended up making so many creature tokens I was just writing them down on a piece of paper. It was in the hundreds. And then when I swung my massive army at him, he Uno-Reverso-d me and basically killed me with my own creatures. I think it’s still the most brutal way I’ve lost a game of Magic and I absolutely loved it XD

Interesting you only have a problem with this after you got kicked out. Certainly no reason it could be exaggerated or straight up untrue. 🤔

While I don’t think it would be unwarranted, it’s also not specifically necessary. They can interpret that line to mean anything they want. It’s a volunteer run, privately hosted reddit clone. It doesn’t need to be as intricate as US law (which I not sure why that’s “baseline” for anything).

ech,

This seems less about users bailing and more about instance admins deciding to do so. The latter have a much higher level of overhead and stress to deal with, so it makes sense to see as the highs of the Reddit protests fade out.

ech,

I’m gonna call it. This is an (obvious) attempt to squeak in monetization for everyone on twitter that is as unobjectionable as possible, and once everyone’s locked in the price will increase, and tiers will be introduced, etc etc., and it’s going to work. Nobody still on twitter is gonna care about $1/year to keep access. They’ll lap it up and thank Musk for the opportunity to be fleeced.

Musk could still fuck it up by being overly greedy and ramping up too much too fast like he tried to do last year (or this year? I’ve lost track), but I’d say this has reasonable odds of working out.

ech,

Which western governments are cheering it on?
