Humor and art are vastly different than spreading eagle with a black censor bar covering your shit, or drooling and licking a microphone ear to help the incels rub one out.

Please don't insult artists, comedians, or any other talent with comparisons to that.

Twitch updates attire policy to prohibit implied nudity.

Because the platform is a gaming and gamer-social platform.

Nothing wrong with nudity, just find the appropriate platform for it, not a gaming one.

The thots are assholes right?

Because twitch is a gaming platform, not a PG-13 Onlyfans advertisement platform.

Or is it?

Third-tallest tower in Los Angeles sells for 45% less than last purchase price as remote work, interest rates drive down office values

Rent is the primary factor for sure, but I think you're downplaying the impact remote work has, and/or not realizing the demand from employees for remote work. Many are taking pay cuts if they can remote work, and that does affect the labor market.

Exactly. Spending 2 hours out of each day stuck in traffic for only a 20mile drive is psychotic.

LA's transit system, hell even the idea of a central 'downtown', was never designed for effective mass transit. The metro rails that are expanding are better, but I know so many people that refuse to use it out of fear of being stabbed or mugged, the disgusting homeless encampments that are around the parking lots of the stations, etc..

Reddit now blocks signed out VPN connections.

I'm out of the loop but I've seen this stated many times now re: .ml. What's the deal with it? I thought it was mostly dev focused with memes and left-leaning stuff?

‘Nudify’ Apps That Use AI to ‘Undress’ Women in Photos Are Soaring in Popularity

But some people don't agree with you. They're not comfortable with tech that can nudify them for millions to see. So if, and that's possibly an impossible task, but if there was a way to punish services that facilitate or turn a blind eye to these things, then you bet your ass many many people would be for criminalizing it.

Mom fired as sex-ed teacher after being exposed as convicted prostitute, working escort

You're not. The majority of people feel that way, but it's mostly quietly though since saying otherwise publicly would be construed as being 'sexist/misogynistic/puritan/etc/etc'.

Only a tiny fraction of society actively engages in social media. Remember that.

Robert De Niro accuses Apple of censoring awards speech

criticalthreshold @lemmy.world

Ad hominem attacks are lazy logical fallacies that show the utter stupidity of people.

The fuck does this old fart's vax position have to do with his allegation of Apple cutting out the Trump rant of his speech?

FBI Labels Anti-Fascists and Anti-Racists as Violent Extremists

Make who uncomfortable though? Those you are protesting against? Ok sure maybe.

Other citizens that don't have an interest/stake in the matter? Getting them involved isn't wise.

Your first half was good, but impugning terrorist actions on them wasn't the way to go.

I do agree though: setting fire to courthouses, or creating an environment of lawlessness that guarantees small mom and pop businesses get looted is also not a winning cause. Protesting and counter-protesting where normal operations can continue is essential. The moment you start fucking with people's day-to-day is where you lost.
