Agree with you on the price, disagree with the sentiment. Unless you’re comparing to a linux machine it is a bad take. You can do plenty to MacOS and it isn’t constantly trying to reinstall fucking one drive or hijack my search bar or reset my privacy settings after an update.

But yeah, they can fuck off with the prices.

If logic and reason is nothing, then fair enough.

Wondering the same thing.

Not saying it is impossible, but the simple fact that internet exists or not is absolutely not indicative of porn having a positive or negative effect. It is a pretty weak article to use as evidence against what I am saying when it states clearly that these are only associations and correlations and essentially guesswork.

It is just as fair and, dare I say, more sensible to assume that places with internet have been more informed, more developed, and more progressive than places without and therefore have less uncivilized behaviour.

I will preface this next part by saying I have no idea if it is true or not, and I don’t really want to search for it for obvious reasons. But my wife was telling me about a study done in some Asian country where they literally prescribe pedophiles with child-like dolls to “have a harmless outlet” and it was found that it only made their impulses stronger and they eventually grew bored by the dolls. Again, not sure how credible it is so take it with a grain of salt.

I just don’t see any reason why we should deem it acceptable in any form.

No, being gay is absolutely not a mental illness. But there are those who are mentally ill that think they are gay when they are not or were abused in a way that caused them to fear/be repulsed by the opposite sex in a major way.

But being gay is also not a fetish and absolutely not comparable to being a pedophile.

Pretty insulting to the gay community tbh.

It wont stop abuse just like regular porn won’t stop women from getting sexually abused/raped. It being a mental illness does not make it any less harmful to society. It sucks that they were born wrong or were abused to the point of no return but that does not mean they should be allowed to look at regurgitated images of children to get off and its really weird to think otherwise.

I am all for people having their rights and freedoms but that line ends at pedophiles for me. Unfortunately, they are less than human.

Pedophilia is not some weird fetish, though. It has no place in this world. Pedophiles just don’t deserve to have their sexual needs met in any way - period.

A lot of the comments in here seem a little bit too sympathetic.

Thank you, I never thought it would happen 😂

I bought a house and I get to move in tomorrow! It is big hype for sure.

When I first used GPT I did a lot of extra projects outside work. I had it walk me through making a shitty multi-client drawing app, start a terraria clone in godot, a forum tool for my wife, and a bunch of random personal tools.

And then it got me started on my biggest personal project which is using the GPT api. It is a next.js app that is pretty much a multiplayer AI Dungeon at the moment but I have bigger ambitions. Probably too big.

I am a frontend (react + typescript) developer and I have always wanted to do more outside of work but never got around to it. GPT just makes it so quick and easy to have a jumping off point for a project. It has introduced me to a lot of things I don’t see in my day to day.

Initially, I felt the “oh shit, this is gonna take my job” fear, but without actual dev experience and the ability to debug, all those projects would have come to a screeching halt very early on. It is a great sidekick to help me brainstorm or get through my thoughts, though.

Literally the person asking?
