There is that videogame based on that premise. Goblin cleanup. You reset and clean dungeons in between heros.

You asked and answered your own question?

Advertising on reddit was always a dumb move from the get go. They had to disable comments on ads because they didn’t want people actually discussing products openly and freely. It was such a farce.

I think they got all they needed from us. It doesn’t matter what they do now. They sold years of conversations and information.

I wasn’t trying to be rude to you or your heritage, I was just giving someone insight to the mindset of a local while also trying to make a friend. I’m really sorry if I offended you. I’m not a horse. I’m people. I’m hurt by your use of immigrant. I’m a war refugee and a lot of my family died before we were lucky enough to land in nyc. I’m lucky to be alive and I consider myself lucky to count myself as a South Brooklyn chump.

Oh yea! And welcome. Wanna join a book club with me? I’m trying to branch out more socially.

I think you’re “from” whereever you went to school the most in or better put, whereever you grew up in and spent your formative years that defined your worldview.

I’m from NYC and as a native New Yorker, we don’t see anyone as a New Yorker who hasn’t at least gone to high school in nyc. I’m from South Brooklyn specifically. Its a game we play with other natives and we compare schools and talk trash. I won’t see anyone truly as a New Yorker otherwise.

But to not natives, it really doesn’t matter. Be it a month or ten years, it’s the same shit. You know your neighborhood and you keep your head down and do what you need to do to survive. Any other transplant gatekeeping on you can kiss your ass. You wanna be a New Yorker, you’re a New Yorker.

I’m always growing potatoes. Forget about the potatoes under the cupboard and they grow roots. Plant em and you get a barrel of potatoes like 6 months later. Rinse and repeat.

My sister can’t say sea minerals without it sounding like semen roll.

So I get massages a lot. I’m a lady but its a pet peeve to hear someone getting tugged off in the next room. I’m not rich so I often go to places that run specials or discounts. I figured it out. Its a rub and tug place if they have curtains in the windows and it’s a straight massage place if you can see into the waiting room. People aren’t embarrassed to be seen waiting for a massage. They are not as excited for you to be seeing them go into a happy ending place.

Someone somewhere is getting bribed. That’s all it is. You pay for the blind eye. You pay to have your competitors picked up. We had a lot of Hispanic ones in nyc closed because migrant families needed to make money asap but the Asian ones not 10 blocks away are untouched. I don’t think that is a coincidence and its upsetting that they pick and choose. There is no other reason I can think of as to why.

What was the comment!

I hope not. New fear!

Welcome!! :)

I hope it ends up pushing more people here!

All these companies bragging about AI is just synonymous with how little they care about people.

The part where people are trademarking their likenesses and partnering with AI companies to maintain control of their image is nice. It never even occurred to me the possibility of porn stars to be part of the AI layoff steamroller, but this is essentially it. Why hire you for more when we can generate more?

I also liked that the AI partners gave them creative control over their likeness and the ability to turn down certain prompts that violate their consent. Going to grok as a workaround to still get to see someone do something they aren’t comfortable with is really messed up though.

The article ending with the long term implications of AI pornography blurring the lines of consent for some people due to the nature of on demand anything goes at the click of button mentality developing is a take that is never thought I’d read in a playboy. This article was really a great read.

There was an exposé about the staggering number of sexual assaults last year by the new york times. Some people were drawn to this job for the wrong reasons. You read some of these women’s stories and its horrifying.

I’m dowdy and older and even I have had some questionable interactions. Once an uberdriver invited himself to to bar I was meeting my friends at. Half an hour after dropping me off, he walks in and gets a drink and just stares. I don’t drink because of medication but this was definitely a niche place that you don’t grab a drink at spur of the moment. It was so uncomfortable and we left pretty quickly. Idk what his intentions were but I didn’t want to find out. It was so unsettling.

Sometimes getting a ride is necessary. And when that happens, maybe it’s better that there are options. I’m sure Uber didn’t make this decision out of the goodness of their hearts but because of the lawsuits and the number of women who were dropping off of their platform.

A lot of the responses here seem to be taking it personally as if they are being called assaulters themselves. Some people are even making jokes like good riddance. It’s rude af and belittling. Not everything is black and white and not everything can be understood from a perspective of privilege. It might not feel like it, but women navigate the world looking over their shoulder and not having that feeling in of itself is a privilege

Gentrol point source. It mutates the males so that they’re sterile. It take one generation and then you’ll see them born with crinkled wings. Don’t kill the gross mutated ones. 8 weeks and you’ll notice significantly less. Its also pet safe and okay to be in areas near food. Restaurants use this as their go to. Its just a puck you stick in areas that are the worst.

That is the part that makes me cringe. I spent years in a smaller crafting community giving advice. Gemini answers questions in my voice when questioned about that craft and even used my small business sign off as a suggestion. I worked so hard to be helpful to other people in the community and provide a solid resource for beginners. I really feel used and have some regret.
