He gave you a nice explanation and you’re still snarky. Even if it was niche it wasn’t a crime and everyone got a +100 for social interaction for the day: the horror.

Different people have different reasons.

Small group of real prudes: either actually feel this way, or hold various levels of opinions, or are generally ambivalent to sexual content but have decided to construe sexualization with sexual misconduct. It works; no sex, no sexual misconduct.

Then the advertisers cater to those people because they don’t want to get bad press and want the broadest appeal: non sexual things appeal to prudes and non prudes alike: so make everything non sexual. Avoid offense and maximize eye balls.

Then platforms want to attract advertisers, so they make rules and filters that over reach. Afterall if nothing is remotely close to sexual then we don’t chance there being an Ad next to something sexually offensive.

Then the content creators, whos livelihood depends on the unequal relationship with the platforms self censor to attempt to avoid the broad stroke of platform censorship.

The middle ground then becomes vacant. The sexual but not sexually offensive content gets thinned out. So there is less and less of a reason for platforms, or advertisers, or creators to allow, endorse, or create that content.

This is why vocal opinions of small groups hold so much sway today. The cycle feeds into itself as people whos only interaction with sexual content is hardcore porn generally fall into that second “ambivolent but lets avoid it just to be safe”. This pipline then has a complicated but similar relationship on the political side of things.

This

On the bright side it’s like a dog puzzle bowl; I had strict parents when it came to tech, and now I work in tech, and I’m not letting my hypothetical kids have social media until they’re ready. Get them a smart watch to make calls. I regret making all these contracts and entrenching myself with this souless mega corperations like facebook at such a young age. I’ll take them to the library and they can have a desktop.

Is really sad

Damn gonna have to give up Bananas

Beyond All Reason: statistically i’ll spawn as a tick and live a short life of probing enemy defenses with single-file human wave tactics.

It is good that this gives you some happiness; my joy for such things has significantly declined. Making the agent hellscape cutsey seems fruitless and somewhat macabre to me.

Could just be middle class retirees; with the cost of housing 200k truck + 150 trailer is pretty competitive.

But a demographic they all were and most will one day not be. Yes, there are overly parented kids; and yes our system makes the stair step function of responsibility incredibly steep. But there will be plenty of time for scrolling and phones, screens in general in classrooms are not the curl all we thought they were.

Or just merge it

If you have enough density people can become relays; which expands the area. Plus you can always meet in a general location in a mall or some other public space without making de-anonimizing actions.

I’ve said this before, but I’ve come to regret it. As a phrase it requires a sentiment that is false and grounded in the notion that the market is efficient at dealing out worth to people rather than dealing out perceived profitability.

Teaching can be incredibly rewarding; research can be incredibly rewarding. To teach things well you must have a good grasp of material. It is a sad thing that such a worthy endeavor doesn’t pay more.

I mean the host can always remove your repo. We’ll see how they handle it; but I would assume it won’t be without care. But yet another reason to host your own as well.

And we still can’t have offices?

I love the idea of open courseware but I find I need a class with other people to focus/stay committed to a particular topic long enough.
