I see you excluded the guy across the street singing in his loud PA system for tips, as well as his 800 friends doing the same thing within a 1 mile radius.

(Sorry couldn’t help it. Just visited NOLA and it was cool, but I’ll be happy if I never have to hear another 11-year-old drumming as loud as he can on a Home Depot bucket.)

Inside Out 2 did well!

It could, but you’re really giving them the benefit of the doubt.

They screwed up, let’s be honest with ourselves.

Sync for Lemmy has a translation feature. You could try that.

Why abolish the word slave? I’ve heard of people advocating for abolishing the word “black” also. It’s crazy to me. I don’t understand how using the word at all somehow advocates for human slavery.

No no, you’re really not far off. Few, if any people here are advocating for CF to continue to provide the same services for the same price. It seems clear to most (including the author) that a price increase was justified. The problem we’re all having is how they went about it, agnostic of the client.

(I don’t care who the client was and don’t care one way or the other about online casinos.)

If they’re charging $120,000 per client, it only takes 17 potential lost customers to constitute “millions.” It’s realistic that at least 17 companies might be put-off with the way this was handled.

Just because you don’t like online casinos, doesn’t mean cloudflare didn’t completely fuck this up. They could have negotiated reasonable terms to increase their revenue on this account instead of going the route of stonewalling and extortion.

So not only did they lose this customer, but this bad press will ensure a lot of others never sign up with them, potentially costing them millions in foregone sales.

Yeah this was a massive boondoggle…

Hot take: I have never regretted being circumcized and never met anyone who regretted being circumcized so banning it doesn’t make sense for that reason alone. Some parents pierce their children’s ears without their consent, some give them frenectomies, pull teeth, reshape heads, bind feet, or do a variety of other “elective” procedures so I’m not sure why circumcision has so much hate.

Check yourself dude. The mere fact that you say “it’s doubtable these are in the majority” shows EXACTLY what you think of sex work. Your attitude of “ugh that’s so pitiful, no one would do that willingly, they must be forced into it” is fucking offensive.

Millions of people feel stuck in their jobs and “don’t feel like they have much choice.” Walmart, coffee shops, data entry, whatever. But if it’s sex work, all of a sudden it’s something to be ashamed of?

Yeah, sure there’s trafficking out there, and that is horrible. But don’t conflate the two. Don’t just assume that someone doing sex work is being trafficked. Just like you don’t constantly assume someone doing any other job must also be a trafficked slave or something. Get it?

I want to live in a world where no one feels they are struggling so much that they need to turn to selling their body for sex.

You see, that’s the problem. You are implicitly devaluing sex work compared to other professions. You’re not acknowledging that some people actually want to, and choose to do sex work. There’s nothing wrong whatsoever with someone choosing prostitution, stripping, escort, etc.

Could you say your same statement about being a lawyer? A teacher? An engineer?

“I want to live in a world where no one feels they are struggling so much that they need to turn to being an engineer.”

You see how weird that sounds? So why can you say it about sex work? Do you see how derisive you’re being toward it as a profession? Funny that you say you’re supportive while implying that what they’re doing is a last resort…🤦‍♂️

Linux users on Lemmy: People who don’t run Linux are just bad with computers and shouldn’t be using a computer at all!

I remember being part of these exact same conversations on other message boards at least 15 years ago.

We’re all going around in circles here as history repeats itself.
