There’s levels to it. True quality isn’t worth it, absolute garbage costs a lot though. Some level that mostly works is the sweet spot.

A large part is fear of rejection and you are paying for an AI girlfriend anyway, it gets pretty blurry.

Is it? Prostitution has existed since forever. Women as property is still a cultural norm in some countries that exist today. We are within living memory of marital rape becoming a crime in the US.

I’ve generally heard the opposite. You can immigrate to France, get citizenship, and be as French as possible, but you will never be French.

Me either, it sounds like it was a gambling site that encouraged large deposits and offered some sort of benefits for doing so. This seems extremely unethical, and should probably have been illegal based on gambling or banking rules.

Three felonies a day is 15 years old and only more true than ever.

Fusion will likely happen in this century. Fission is a great temporary power source to get us there alongside renewables.

Apple engages in anti competitive practices, I’m not sure they need to be broken up as much as the US needs to follow the EU and mandate third party app stores, standard connectors, and interoperability.
