Is this going to kill Onlyfans?

Or is the market decidedly because Onlyfans is about personal creators and thus it’s more meaningful than porn?

But when short AI videos become so good you can’t tell if you’re being catfished, will it feel the same?

Yeah that headline seems like capitalists trying to calm down the masses.

And who, besides the CCP, is arguing that China isn’t just as capitalist as other large market economy countries despite calling itself socialist?

House - Faulty Syllogism

What is sad is people like you who can’t back up the things they say, and don’t even try to.

Holy shit you can’t be that childish.

Okay, let’s go with “socialist” then because you’re so childish that you’re pretending like the form of socialism China is known to claim to be isn’t communism.

If you have to pretend to be that stupid, then perhaps you’re not in a good position, argument-wise.

everyone perceives China to be some socialist giant

No they don’t.

You’re not the only one with functioning eyes.

I don’t even remember seeing a person actually arguing China is in any way communist. Just like people don’t argue that NK is a democracy despite them calling themselves one.

Yeah

“The higher, pretentious form of stupidity stands only too often in crass opposition to [its] honorable form. It is not so much lack of intelli gence as failure of intelligence, for the reason that it presumes to accomplishments to which it has no right … The stupidity this addresses is no mental illness, yet it is most lethal; a dangerous disease of the mind that endangers life itself. … [S]ince the ‘higher stupidity’ consists not in an inability to understand but in a refusal to understand, any healing or reversal of it will not occur through rational argumentation, through a greater accumulation of data and knowledge, or through experiencing new and different feelings … We may say that the reversal of a spiritual sickness must entail a spiritual cure"

Oh it’s available for free as well. Like on purpose.

Cheers. Read some plot overview or smth seems cool yeah got to read that/those

Hmm. No, got to look into that. Thank you for the suggestion.

I was never senior enough to really ignore anything to be honest, didn’t spend all that long in the field

They want to be dumb, cool.

I don’t think they do… they just are?

Which is kinda sad. They can’t help it. Well they could, if it weren’t for their personalities, I guess.

I explained this to them, they basically said that there was no way they could do that.

Hahah, they’re actually equipped with RJ45 ports.

I don’t think they understand that printer can connect itself directly to a network by the sounds of what you’ve been writing. And I don’t believe they’re incapable of understanding it. But it sure fucking felt that way a lot of the time with IT-support, and it wasn’t about me being an autist, as none of those issues affected me in customer service jobs.

You should just set that up for them, then show how it works and then they’ll go “aaaaaaaaa that’s what you meant with all the annoying rambling phone call and emails I got from you after our last ticket”

Haha nice.

Sometimes there’s just simple questions which are just like… leave you stumped as how to explain to them properly.

I think the scanner/printer divide is more because often there’s a centralised printer in an office or something, but rarely is there a shared scanner. You’d have to walk over to it, place a document in, then walk back to your desk, run the scan, then walk to get the document again.

And you also have to manage politely telling them how silly they’ve been.

Once got a ticket for “a broken DVD-drive”. Went on over. 'Twas a CD-drive.

“Well what was the issue, why didn’t my DVD-drive work?”

“Well if you look real close, this is actually a CD drive and thus incapable of reading DVDs”

She took it well enough with humour. Some don’t…

This sounds like the person raving against personal computers in the 50’s, how “no-one will ever need or want one.”

And here I am sitting on the shitter with one that fits in my pocket.

Imagine trying to explain to someone just 40 years ago that I now have light bulbs which can sense motion in addition to being voice-controlled and full RGB. 80’s interior designers would go bonkers for these.

I don’t think these will replace normal traffic anytime soon but niche rescue vehicles or smth, perhaps. Also maybe we’re just at the awkward point between quadcopters and Star Wars style jets? The jets are just so much more aesthetic.

Eh, not exactly. I’m curious as to what sort of a contraption it is.

Here. Saved the third guy a click.

I used to work a little bit of IT-support for my city and this made me have flashbacks.

Another stereotype besides the techbro is the graphic designer gal.

Regards we once drove through the city to plug her scanner in… after we prodigiously made her make sure all the wires are connected.

Not exactly the same level of issue but it’s just something I’ll never forget. And nowadays it would be a completely understandable mistake to make, as USB’s can actually power things. But not in 2006, lol.

This doesn’t apply for heat delivery.

Pegging your pardon, mister.
