If I make one it will likely be on lemmynsfw.com. I doubt that there is an instance specifically for porn games though.

I don't log into my Lemmynsfw account much these days. But I know that a lot of "copy" subreddits were made in the days after the API shutoff. So it very well could be a community already but I'm too lazy to look.

Did you mean "make it"? If you made it already, link the community!

Yeah I felt like the only reason for it was to get the effects team an Emmy. Well deserved, but felt forced.

No pun intended.

There was an entire subreddit devoted to porn games but it's not made it over to Lemmy.

Maybe once I get laid off I'll start a community

But its persistence is a characteristic of today: Installed and enabled by default, providing little to no value while insisting to be used until you removed or disabled it.

Sure it didn't scape your data and sell it but if they had the ability to, I guarantee they would have.

Ngl the first time I heard about "The Pitt" I read it as "The Pit" and was super confused why it features a hospital.

Great show though.

As "super solid" as he is, imagine if he spent time to find an up and coming progressive at the local level and really pushed for his running publicly.

But nope. He wants power. Like Pelosi. Like Schumer. Like so many party Democrats that don't have the stones to actually resist Trump and the Republican agenda because they'd rather hold onto what little influence they have now than actually change the country.

Let's say I run a bakery.

Even if you put aside capitalistic characteristics like stock, etc., you need a way to quantify the "cost" of the equipment, the property, etc.

The only way it would be equal is if, for example, everyone brought their own table from home or everyone equally built the oven, and so on. But that's not going to be realistic.

Shares sort of makes sense even in an anarchist system. Let's say you bring a table from home. That could be worth 10 shares or something and then when you leave you could be compensated for, say 15 shares for the amount that table brought.

My original point is that I've wondered how co ops and the like deal with risk and paying for that risk. As I'm navigating a layoff, I've been debating starting my own business but would very much like to run it as a co-op but it doesn't seem right to me that someone that comes in after the business is running to get compensated the same for someone who risked more (e.g. early members, etc.)

I clearly need to do more research into this if I plan on making any serious headway with my business

I'll admit I'm not an expert here and I've often struggled with understanding co-ops and how they reward risk.

I agree with the OP that everyone worked hard but it sounds like the reward of profits is proportional to the risk taken by those who purchased more stock. I often wondered how does an anarchist work in this situation?

The risk isn't zero so it's obviously worth something but making that equitable across all stock holders in an anarchist system seems difficult if not impossible. I'd love to be educated here.

It's one of the very few truly timeless shows I've seen. You could watch it for the first time now and it will hit the same.

One of the goals of Project 2025 is to sow distrust in established government programs. Think about your building codes. You don't think a lot about them unless you are building something. You may not give a fuck as to why outlets have to be at least a foot off the floor (or whatever it is) but let's say some asshole comes around and says "Electricity doesn't exist man! It's just the Holy Spirit!"

And then say that asshole is put in charge of electrical codes for your state.

Are you going to trust any change he makes? Are you going to trust any revisions that are made in the future, even if they return back to what they were before?

There is so much doubt in the system now that I am even worried about vaccine safety. Because you know ivermectin is about to be sold as some voodoo cure for cancer.
