In America, yes, she is considered black- and so are all those people.

very plain looking woman

maybe I am weirdo with low standards, but for me "very plain looking woman" qualifies as attractive

I mean, Candace Owen’s fights with management were about her jumping thé shark, so it seems reasonable to say she got fired for being crazy.

You do have a point- NYT writers don’t start schizo-writing, and TikTok crazy leftists and breadtubers don't have anyone to fire them because they’re unemployable.

Also for me.

The ad you linked is from the same campaign but not the one that really best shows why people are outraged. The first segment of this one is where the heat is. I do think the outrage is a little overblown but eh, I kind of understand this one from the perspective of anyone who is thoroughly steeped in the blank slate camp.

I think its more so a matter of charity. The idea is not that youre literally saying this, but that a motivation is shining through. Of course we here, who have reading comprehension or media literacy or whatever it is, know that youre right about everything and only interpret you in that light.

After I confronted her with the emails and transactions she agreed to go to a crisis counseling service. She now agreed to engage with a therapist / psychiatrist. She goes back tomorrow. She says she knew it was a scam but sent the money anyway because they were nice to her. I don't understand.

Forgive me for using a crude term but "pig butchering" is what this class of scam is called in the industry, if that helps you with your research. It's based on a Chinese term.

The scammers invest a lot of effort into making the victim feel good. They're often romantic in nature. For a lot of the victims the story that they're talking to a celebrity is just a foil for having an online friend. They know, on some level, that it's not really that celebrity they're talking to.

A lot of victims have some degree of mental illness but sometimes the victims are just lonely and engaging in some twisted variant of OnlyFans.

The scammers can still be pretty ruthless though, switching to blackmail once the victim tries to end things. So she may be desperate not to lose contact with them.

Sorry, it wasn't Hitler. When I went digging I found that my memory got that mixed up, but they did rename various birds which were named after humans: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3182394/american-birds-to-be-renamed

In that thread, the president of the game's publisher says "I wouldn't call this... a matter of erasing the past--the past isn't changing. Rather, it's using the information we have in the present to not celebrate or honor those who committed atrocious acts in the past and to simply not be derogatory to certain cultures". So, pretty explicitly letting politics drive game design, even with the fig leaf of "we're just keeping pace with the names used by official ornithological groups".

Do we PREFER the world where women unknowingly become debt slaves

For Western and majoritarian values of "we," the answer clearly appears to be yes.

As always,Woke more correct. They rightly see aesthetics like this as an existential enemy and they rally against it.

Ah I'm too old - I can't really type one handed on the phone either. Oh God I borrowed my nephew's phone the other day to call his dad, I just thought he had sweaty hands like his dad.

I've only used one card that worked in that text style format, for a girl in a fantasy world who finds your cousin's phone after it gets isekai'd, but it was bitter-sweet not erotic. But that brings up a related issue - yeah I'll bet you have downtime! As I'm sure you know, the reason the text style conversations don't work that well is because they don't give the AI enough context - but when you are typing out a hundred words about how you would pleasure your waifu, how do you uh maintain momentum?

I'm glad you mentioned regenerating responses and OOC replies and impersonation though, because I find it interesting how that works with my brain - because I have used those with romantic and adventure role-playing, and because they were stipulated as necessary by whatever rentry guide I read to get into this nonsense they don't trigger the puppeteer feeling in me, even though they absolutely should. But that was something I noticed about @No_one's original response - it is the context of an obvious business transaction that precludes the possibility of love specifically - there could be a situation where he could fall in love with a prostitute - they meet outside of work for instance.

I guess my point, if I have one, is that it's all about perspective, which means you can deceive yourself into a fictional relationship if you try hard enough. Which is bad news for society, but good news for anyone looking to get off! Personal gratification or society is always in tension. I would be more worried about it if I hadn't already given up.

(2) They would surely have killed him when he was a private citizen and before he was arrested and locked up in a jail in the middle of NYC. Slip some nerve agent or poison into his tea in Paris or London two months before and he dies of natural causes before charges are quietly dropped due to the primary suspect being deceased, happens all the time.

This assumes that 1. Whoever would have had him killed decided to way beforehand and 2. That killing a high profile target like this in public is actually a better and smarter idea than just hanging him in a prison when you have the resources and power to initiate a coverup there easily and 3. That they're perfect geniuses with masterminded well thought out plans instead of just shitty people hastily trying to cover up things as they go "oh shit"

Which bird is that?

Nerds were wrong to enjoy attractive female characters in their videogames, because misogyny, patriarchy, and oppression of women. But at the same time these nerds were two clicks away from the most graphic hardcore pornography that has ever existed.

You can't do much about porn, it's too low status and ubiquitous. People already think it's low status so trying to make it more so is just a waste of energy since no one will fight you, they'll just ignore you and then watch if they want. And you can't "improve" it because the rubber really meets the road there. (Same reasons the current backlash to porn is irrelevant if you don't pull a UK. It was rape to feminists in the past, 'cool' or at least accepted at some point, and is now being seen more negatively by feminists. People who consumed did so regardless)

You can however do something about nerds and what they're liking in public. Since sff media became mainstream and arguably took over the box office in the 2010s, people have an incentive and levers to fight those battles.

Only putting the fear of unemployment a-la Rufo can possibly succeed.

Yes, but I don't see the current methods of trying to bring this about working. Because it looks like (as I've seen people argue) so long as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc. remain in operation, it is they who will be able to set the broadly-accepted standard for what are valid academic credentials. Got to go Henry VIII at the least.

Sorry, I didn't answer the Prigozhin analogy because it directly implies the whole fever swamp idea that this was directed by people in high levels of government. But since you asked, I don't think it's really a relevant analogy. The first issue is that you're comparing the actions of an authoritarian dictatorship to those of a liberal democracy. If incontrovertible evidence came out that Putin had Prigozhin, such as the meticulous documentation you suggest, what do you think the repercussions would be for Putin? How would they compare with the repercussion faced by an American president facing similar allegations and similar evidence?

Which brings me to my second point: The allegations aren't similar. Prigozhin launched a rebellion against the Russian army during the middle of a war. This is not controversial. Alexei Navalny was the leader of an opposition party critical of the ruling regime. This is not controversial. For every person whom Putin or whoever has assassinated or attempted to assassinate there has been a clear, uncontested motive. It wasn't based on the "theory" that Prigozin was secretly the head of Wagner. Your proposed motive is based on a theory that Epstein was an "intelligence honeypot" for some organization, most likely Mossad but you've mentioned the CIA a few times so who knows. Whoever it was, the working theory appears to be that Epstein was used to procure young girls for sex with powerful men, who could then be blackmailed into making important decisions that would benefit the blackmailers.

If we examine this theory from the standpoint of it making any practical sense based on the known facts, it quickly falls apart. The first problem I have is that it muddies the water insofar as the motive is concerned. In the wake of Epstein's death, the gist of the dominant theory was that he had dirt on powerful people and was killed in an effort to prevent this dirt from coming to light. Now that intelligence agencies have been added to the mix, it's unclear to me if the theory is that the intelligence agencies had him killed to protect the powerful men who were being blackmailed, or if he was killed so he wouldn't reveal the existence of the honeypot scheme.

Either way, the whole scheme was a curious one, in that it evidently didn't target anyone in power, and seemed to serve Epstein more than any of the alleged targets. Of all the girls who have made allegations against Epstein, only a few of them claim they were abused by anyone other than Epstein or Maxwell. And the people who have been named don't exactly comprise a who's who of people you would want in your pocket. Bill Clinton (no allegations were made against Clinton but his name comes up so I'm including him) didn't become involved with Epstein until after he was president, and at a time when the opposition party was in power, which party had just tried to destroy him for sexual improprieties a few years prior. I don't know what kind of influence Clinton was supposed to have had on the US government at the time, except that he might be able to convince Hillary to vote a certain way. Trump was a real estate developer who was famous for being famous but didn't have any political aspirations beyond an aborted bid at the Reform Party nomination in 2000. Alan Dershowitz was a Harvard law professor, talking head, and occasional appellate litigator. I don't know what he could have done for anyone who wasn't facing a complicated criminal appeal. Prince Andrew was the brother of the heir apparent to a ceremonial monarchy. George Mitchell was a former senator and was out of politics. Some guy owned a hotel chain. I don't know what blackmailing Bill Gates gets you other than cash. Steven Hawking? A French talent agent? The only person named who had any actual political power was Bill Richardson, and the governor of New Mexico isn't exactly high on the totem pole. And however useless these people were in the early 2000s when they were supposedly being blackmailed, they were even more useless in 2019, when Trump was the only one on the list with any contemporary relevance.

I think it started with her wholesome(-seeming, I didn't see it) "Anyone But You" movie from yea, a couple years ago. Like an Abercrombie & Fitch couple starring.
