  • On Boost it just blinks out of existence for one third of a second and reappears immediately. Clever idea though, would have been nice to see it work as intended

  • Paywalled and even if it weren't I'm not sure I'd understand much. Can someone please ELI5 why this magnet is different from regular magnets?

  • Ah but he finished the coffee, right? It wasn't that bad then.

    Once I visited my childhood home and the neighbors, who remembered me, invited me in for a cup of coffee. It was a nice gesture and a nice catchup, but I will forever remember that coffee as the worst coffee of my life. It was so acidic and burnt like anything I ever tasted. I typically have my coffee without sugar, and as soon as the neighbor saw me struggling with it she offered sugar and milk. It didn't help. I don't think I finished it.

    What music do you consider to be part of your musical Shadow in the Jungian sense?

  • Love songs in Spanish, especially from Arjona, Enrique Iglesias or Luis Miguel but not limited to those.

    Also christmas songs, very annoying

  • Let's go for both. Are they too different for you? I like aniseed but not licorice. They taste very different to me and I can't recall enjoying anything labeled as licorice, although where I grew up I didn't have that distinction in color or name for it.

  • I'm blown away when people say aniseed is similar to licorice. Aniseed is good, licorice is gross.

  • Nonono, aniseed is amazing; licorice is not. If you mix them you spoil the aniseed of course...

    Anyway I love butter, I like yogurt and fish and I'm ambivalent about vinegar, I like it on some things more than others.

    I can't think of any other flavors I don't like, I certainly have preferences but I can tolerate most foods I'm not that much into. Only exceptions would be avocado and pineapple which are painful to digest, but their taste is fine.

  • I didn't know heirlooms would be just as easy to grow. I might give it a go... I love their taste, unfortunately the price is a bit on the ridiculous sometimes.

  • Okay let's test it: Do you like licorice? I hate it, but the comment you replied to was talking about bliss

  • I didn't have high expectations to start with

  • My thoughts exactly. All I can think of is that religious devotion requires giving away your brain??? It really is a bizarre illustration

  • We are not talking about what the most realistic case scenario would be if something like royalties were implemented. Of course companies will find ways to screw their workers, for example, with speculative profit as part of payment etc etc. I'm with you in that yes that's what's most likely to happen if it were applied in our society in this day and age and in some countries it would go worse than in others. We get that.

    The whole point of this comment thread was what isn't happening, therefore, which morals or ethical considerations one doesn't need to mind because of that. It's not that "this payment style would be better if implemented", rather, " if payment worked that way, pirating would be harmful to the workers"

  • This one pisses outside the urinal, it's grossly missing the mark

    On one side the artists who have art as an integral part of their identities and social roles, threatened by Ai, should be paired by the equally dedicated programmers who are threatened by Ai

    The ChatGPT programmers should be paired with Midjourney prompters that so call themselves artists.

  • I'm not the person you replied to at any point in the thread, and I agree that there is potential for a slippery slope in a similar way it happens with tipping culture.

    But my understanding of the original comment was that workers should also get a share of profit after the game is released, with no changes to the salary they received during the production stage which is just covering for labor as it happens everywhere else. Upfront payment and royalties, proportional to profit. (This type of arrangement is unusual but exists, or used to exist, in publishing, for both authors and illustrators).

    The idea wasn't to change it one for the other but hypothetically add it, but we know greed won't allow that to happen, which is used as a moral point for piracy: you are not hurting the people who did the hard work at all
