I have only been on the federverse for like two or three weeks. I meant in popular media and actually even in my real life interactions.

I have heard things like I tried to be gay, or I wish I was a lesbian, etc. I do think that it's influenced by media having this archetype of the ~~cool/suave/fun/wise/good-crazy~~ interesting side-character friend. Oftentimes these characters aren't fully developed and their whole personality is that they are not straight, but they have this cool friend group thing going on and everyone likes them.

Don't get me wrong, there are fantastic examples of gay characters in media where they aren't just the token diversity character, it too often we have quirky-dirky (but flat) interesting person whose only defining quality is that they're not boring ol' heterosexual

Yes, this is a case where the carrot is better than the stick. I'm not danish (maybe a blueberry one though), but if I was prone to burning books and the government suddenly cracked down on that, maybe I'm also prone to burning constitutions?

I feel like DeLonghi is just plastic crap but maybe I'm wrong?

I think the movie did a pretty good job of showing that he wasn't the inventor of the atomic bomb. The moniker has always been "father" of the atomic bomb, since he was more of a supervisor and manager than a deep researcher at that point

If a product can be offered without much issue on a pay once and own-as-is forever model, then I think there is an ethical imperative to pirate it.

I would be willing to pay a few hundred bucks for a perpetual license to look 2023 version of Adobe Lightroom. Unfortunately the only place to find such a product is on the high seas. Adobe will only let you buy a subscription based equivalent. I like the actual software product, and I've gotten good at using it, but if I can't just buy it, I'm not going to pay for it.

I actually have a plug-in for Lightroom called topaz Labs AI enhancement suite. I pay for a single year's worth of updates, but I can still use the software as of the final update forever. If Adobe actually offered something like that I would be all over it.

I've gone back a few times since boost died, but that's mostly because Google search sucks without adding "Reddit" to a lot of my search queries.

I think they cranked the dehaze slider to maximum overdrive
