Well kids who's parents interact with them more do better than kids who don't receive as much attention. This is well known and consistently proven. But that is a very different statement to 'one parent staying home and one earning is optimal'. The evidence suggests more access to both parents for children is optimal. Of course with the way things are economically few parents get to choose how much time they spend with their kids.

But the trad wives thing isn't solely about one parent staying home; it's also about the wife's complete submission to her husband and all the other toxic ideas that flow from that. I can assure you that research clearly shows that environments where one parent is deeply controlling of the other is not good for children's development.

But no you want to twist studies into meaning things they don't then quietly append an entire ideology into them and then claim others are posting propaganda.

Wow, I keep getting surprised by things that really shouldn't surprise me anymore. I mean I knew he was a Russian asset but I never expected it to become so blatant.

They care as much about the people who can't verify as they do for the kids they proclaim to protect. UK age law restricts kids (and anyone who does not identify themselves) from seeing or discussing sensitive topics like Palestine. Given how the UK government has gone after Pro-Palestine activists, it makes sense why many of them might not want to identify themselves. If age verification was truly enforced worldwide it could stifle any and all discussions about sensitive topics. It's like a child has been seriously hurt on the playground and their response is to child-proof every path, shop, road, park, forest trail and public space. It's never been about the kids.

A reddit community for making memes about drinking water. If I am remembering correctly it was banned because of the name which sparked protest from community members and caused the creation of numerous other imitation communities. This in turn resulted in cascading series of bans and other nonsense.

Going to linux from windows was eye opening. No more 'oh you don't want this well we'll remind you again in a few days' or microsoft trying to upsell their services on my own machine or fighting with the operating system in order to do something simple. It is so nice to feel like I own my own machine.

You see the trick is to fill the entire justice system with stooges who won't prosecute you for anything. Then everything is legal.

It takes constant effort to push back against objective reality. If the pressure relents they might slide back into seeing the world a little closer to what it is.

To explain; they think any form of consequences for bad behaviour is cancel culture and cancel culture is a purely left thing and is evil and wrong because freedom of speech and because it's something the left does. So anyone who advocates for consequences for a company's actions must be a leftist. It's a very common thing with American right wing propaganda. I have seen it way too often.

It's still possible that Trump has gotten his wires crossed and thinks it's an American thing. All it takes is one of his Russian handlers to mention that that's how it works in Russian and for him assume it's the same in the US. His brain isn't great with nuance after all. It's not like he understands the hows or whys of preexisting policies anyway.

Have you read his book? If not good because it'll kill some of your brain cells if you do. But there's nothing inherently wrong with writing a bad book. Most writers first book won't be great but shadow of the conquer has more problems than just being bad. In it the main character a former genocidal, mass murdering, serial rapist does nothing to redeem himself but gets forgiven anyhow by all the rape victims who got pregnant from the involuntary intercourse because they're so happy with their kids.

It has some troubling attitudes towards a great many things (mainly women) and those attitudes are presented by the book as self evident and true. I find it very telling of the man who wrote it.

Easily but that won't actually solve the problem. The issue occurs when trying to market and promote the game; if your announcement of your indie game and it's features gains any traction then some POS will whip together a crappy ai vomit stain. Since you probably released some images to drum up interest they can regurgitate something that looks passible like your game in a day by feeding those images to an ai. This means there is an absolutely terrible clone that will come out before your game that will confuse the customers and spoil the market. Honestly the fact that they don't steal code makes them sort of worse. If they did steal code then the quality of the clone would be way better. It would still be bad but it would be better then what the gen ai would come up with based on the description of your game mechanics. And since your game is going to get confused for the clone (since that's their goal) the worse the clone is the harder it will be to market the real game.

The ideas that copyright has been pushed to ludicrous extremes and that people deserve some control over what their creations are used for are not mutually exclusive ideas. AI is not simple piracy though it is something much more repulsive. There are many forms of piracy I can get behind and many pieces of media that now only exist because of piracy. Compare that to ai which mulches down people's creations, steals everything yet makes it unrecognisable enough that casual users won't notice and certainly won't find and become fans of the original sources. It ruins the ability for new artists to be discovered as now they have to fight a sea of slop just to get noticed.

That's not even getting started on the immeasurable stupidity of allowing corporate control over human creativity.

Ai and it's apologists are disgusting.
