You don’t have to be attracted to men to make content solo or with other women.

Than I don’t understand why men are whining. You can just have gay men pay your rent via doing sex work and posting images as well.

I am not arguing that a male stripper makes more or less money. I am arguing against the shockingly widespread and completely delusional idea that seems prevalent online that all women can just simply earn money online by posting any pictures and apparently are all just too dumb to do so.

Do you think women are all stupid to not simply get rich with feet pics and Onlyfans? I mean, you can’t really think those incel theories of: “women just have to upload some pics and get money, I can’t, unfair! Mimimi” are true, right?

Than all men can do it too. Just sell pics to gay men.

You don’t need to buy physical copies. Games from GoG and, for example, itch.io can be downloaded DRM free.

The average Joanne also can’t do that.

They are no where. It’s a typical misogynists theory that all women can easily make money with Onlyfans and have people paying their rent.

“can do it more directly more easily”.

Jep, I guess it’s easy to work the most dangerous job you can have. That’s why especially people in wealthy countries do it. Because it’s direct easy money…

How much money do you believe the average woman can make on Only fans?

Why do you think you can’t do that as a man?

I never thought it would bother me, until I actually sat in a car where everything was dependent on software the first time.

At first I thought I was just getting old. But it dawned on me that relying on software to fucking roll down the windows or starting the car doesn’t feel too good.

(It was also an extreme jump in technology for me because the last car I drove before that was an old Corsa around the year ~2005.)

How could they forget Pascal :/

That is something Palestine and especially Hamas will not accept. They have said multiple times already that they wish for a “pure Muslim state”.

So what is the solution for this problem, in your opinion?

If they didn’t have the funding they would all be dead already because they are regularly under fire from rockets. Not only now, but also before the last attack of the Hamas.

Jep, I bought a Furby when I first moved out. After about 2 months it stopped working (didn’t even drop it). So I cut it open, the cheapest piece of electronics I ever saw for that price tag.

Foreshadowing for what I would soon learn about the adult world in general.

The SI system is a metric system and also defines the use of the words describing powers of ten. The use of kiloseconds also isn’t wrong, it just means 1000 seconds, obviously. But it only makes sense in context (for example short lived isotopes).

The same way “Megameter” is formally correct but no one uses it because there is rarely a context where this was useful.

RuneScape, Ark, … DOTA2 (especially with that cry for help).

Some people get lost for thousands of hours in grand-strategy games like Europa Universalis. Or MMOs like Eve Online.

But feeling like the game consumed you is grinder and MOBA territory.

What you seem to are saying is that specifically and exclusively people who work on software, music and digital art should give away their labour for free.

Do you know any platform that only offers digital stuff that’s not buyable in a “good” way? Because I don’t. That pirates pretend to ride some moral high horse is a cope that’s incredibly disrespectful towards creators.

I feel in online communities like the Fediverse there is an active community of people who do not respect work of people who aren’t working in tech or science. Or maybe it’s predominantly a disrespect for creatives? I see this in discussions about AI image generators as well. And it’s basically the same set of arguments that try to suggest artist should work for free.

They just have to add “get a real job and do your hobbies in your free time” and we have full circled back into the boomer mindset.

There is enough open source and free and dirt cheap content available already that you can’t play in a lifetime. While I agree that stuff that’s too expensive for the majority of people shouldn’t even exist, I don’t see why creative content should be free for the taking in a society that doesn’t support that way of life yet. Unless you also agree that people should be allowed to take everything else for free as well.
