Classic socialism. Market forces not agreeing with your ideological position? Just dictate the market by fiat. Fix or cap prices. Force businesses to operate at a loss. Arbitrarily punish or reward parties in business deals or agreements after the fact, regardless of what the original terms were.

The result is always the same: failure, shortages and more poverty.

A billionaire got mad, bought your favourite social media site and ran it into the ground.

Opinion immediately discarded.

Don't use WAV files unless there's some very specific reason why you can't use FLACs. FLAC is lossless compression so you get a significantly smaller file size at zero quality cost.

Well it's a bit dated now but fantastic RTS back in its day

DEIA

So are they going to start clowning additional letters onto DEI now like they did with LGBT*?

This'll be like the all the cringy Hollywood people trying to make youtube channels a few years ago. They post a couple of videos, make it abundantly clear how completely unrelatable they are as people, then give up.

Maybe Piers has enough of his own personal following to make it, but most people in MSM definitely don't.

These people really do not understand the Streisand effect at all. They're literally guaranteeing that this interview is going to get massive views and coverage.

The girl sounds like a bit of a nut, but the guy also sounds like an absolute wuss.

The day when any 16 year old coomer can generate custom porn starring whoever he wants isn't far off.

I think that point was already passed several months ago. The only thing that will change is quality and how accessible the tech is, and probably soon video instead of stills.

It's a spinoff of Civ, in the same engine (I think) as Civ 2. One major difference I remember was that you could design your own units by mixing and matching components.

SpellForce. RTS/RPG hybrid with a decent amount of eurojank thrown in.

I played the crap out of that game back in the day, it also had two great expansions.

Have any more recommendations? A Fire Upon the Deep and the Culture series are some of my favorite books, but I haven't found much else that tackles the same topic, at least not on the same scale.

The Revelation Space series kind of touches on similar topics though more in the sense of being a clear inspiration for the bad guys in Mass Effect.

I agree. The only "value" of onlyfans is for simps to feel there is a real person there. If fake humans could end OF then porn would already have ended OF.
