100%. And certainly there are no "sex trafficking" charges brought against a poor who simply does drugs with his gf and/or cucks himself with prostitutes and his gf. It's just weird kink and possession of controlled substances and prostitution at best. I guess the argument could be with poor people (talking about the freak offs and chemsex, not the actual beatings that took place outside of the sexcapades), the girl is more into it. With Diddy, the girls did it to win his approval and either social climb or be in relationship or otehrwise in his sphere of success/money/influence and so that is, of course, abuse.

I fundamentally disagree, on most or all points, but recognize the ChatGPT AI thread is hardly the place to really drill into it (yet, again). Bringing it back to the technology discussion-- how about that Mark Zuck, eh? That guy is competitive. -

Oil tankers worth of ink has been spilled about how what you are describing as the idyllic middle class golden era was an artificially created construct from WWII and America not being a theatre of war and not losing a generation of young men and with an unscathed manufacturing base, that was always a temporary state and was never going to be sustainable, so I won't do it again here except to call it out and say: If your ideal is hinged upon a mirage, it's going to hard to ever really be happy in the messiness of reality. You are chasing the dragon. -

What we got ain't nothing new. Industrial Revolutions have always been hard on people. It ain't all waiting on white collar work to find a soft landing to keep up the creature comforts white collar workers have come to expect the last 50 years. That's vanity. -
It seemed like from day 1 that the "freak offs" were just crazy drug and sex parties with kink between consenting adults who wanted to engage in chemsex (for whatever reason; career gain, money, pleasure, relationship status, etc.). Calling it sex traffiking and kidnapping always felt like it was catering to the TikTok conspiracy theorists and revisionist historians. Diddy, like most rich and powerful men, seems to be weird, strange, perverted by money and power and sex and drugs (and maybe even sexually confused as suggested by contemporaries like 50 cent and Kat Williams), and definintely a crappy person and domestic abuser. But it didn't seem like he was a sex trafficker or kidnapper, like ever.

It's because rule #1 of mediocre executives (which is to say, 80% of them) in a bubble-- never question or cause anyone to question the hype when you are leading. Satya got a lot of credit (and flak) for doing just that recently, actually. -

In dev it's going to look like the housing market. All senior devs and hardly any freshers worth a dang. Like all $600k houses and no starter houses anymore. -
I had a FIL gift me Trump's cologne called Victory Christmas of 2015 or 2016. So it's existed forever, just it was a regular square bottle not a golden idol. Yes, the inlaws are MAGA. Yes, we no longer do Thanksgiving.

The problem is that "medical marijuana" in Texas under compassionate use is like, barely anything. No flower allowed and it's a gummy or tincture of barely any THC. Doubt there are real medical benefits. disclaimer: this was last time I checked like 18 months ago. Maybe things changed, but doubt it.
