Simply that as I grow older I have learned that nuance doesn't exist on the internet. A human is boiled down to a few lines of text in a comment. That comment becomes everything the other human knows about them.

Nuance is knowing that humans are capable of holding two separate beliefs, for example that I can believe that the sex industry is exploitative, and also admit that this is funny, and know that those two things don't contradict each other.

It's the same argument to me of How I Met Your Mother's character, Barney. A sexist pig who in all sense of the word is a horrible human being. A binary approach to life says you can never watch the show or laugh at the jokes because he is in there. A nuanced approach is being able to watch and enjoy it, while also knowing that he's a horrible character, and we should probably make it clear we don't want more sitcom characters like him.

However, like I said, virtue signalling is important to many people, they have to know that you know how moral they are. To me, we're all very complex shades of grey, and I'm completely okay with admitting that things are more complex than a comment can express. Yes, I know the irony of this comment

To me the meme is just plain silly. That's the point, it's ridiculous, and with the NSFW twist it makes it fun. But yes, I agree, on the internet if you see someone working in the sex industry you see everyone virtue signalling that there are problems with the sex industry, and no one can have fun without everyone being made aware that even acknowledging that the industry exists makes you a horrible evil human being.

No idea why you're getting downvoted so hard, I found it funny

Right? (I know it's not the same) but come on look at all of this fat you can burn! You're not hungry, you're lazy, you know, like I want to be.

Step one: you don't go looking for a money wife. You go looking for a dedicated life partner who you will encourage and support for many decades.

Think of the poor corporations, there are so few places to advertise on!

I mean in a downtown core, where else do you advertise? Billboards? Other walls? Street signs? Busses? Storefronts? Paint on the street itself?

What alternatives did they have? You couldn't expect them to just put a temporary tarp over it or something, come on, that would have cost slightly more money!

What they're supposed to be content with just those few thousand options?

What a sad dystopian thing, to decide that a mural that's brought joy is somehow less important than your temporary ad, and worse than that, that there were so many other places it could have gone that wouldn't have destroyed a piece of art.

Top: Seeing a boy complain about having to pay for dinner

Bottom: Having a man have a reasonable conversation about splitting expenses

Eh that's a personal rule. We had that for a while but it quickly was clear it was unfair. There are a ton of expectations that one person invites the other, it just doesn't work out. First date I'd say play over the check, everything after that hopefully is a 50/50, or if one person can't afford becomes a conversation.

Agree, I still have my $100 pass too, but it just got to the point where I couldn't justify it anymore. I got almost ten years out of that pass, I consider that good. 10 dollars a year to support their development. Then their development stopped being for server owners like me, and I knew it was sadly time to move on.

Some weird sexist crap. My spouse and I have always split everything, in fact I was in college while she was already working, and paid for me most of the time. Generalizing like this only solidifies your own personal prejudices.

Oh god I remember that. No one asked them to and they burned a ton of money to do it, shipped buggy, and arguably the design was worse.

So instead of retiring it, we’re keeping it available at a price that reflects the real, ongoing value of the software we’re committed to building and maintaining for years to come.

I left Plex because of exactly this. What exactly have they delivered lately to actual users that isn't BS cloud streaming stuff?
