It's called preaching to the choir. We are not your target audience.

Spot on. The availability of CSAM was overblown by a well funded special interest group (Exodus Cry). The articles about it were pretty much ghost written by them.

When you're the biggest company in porn you've got a target on your back. In my opinion they removed all user content to avoid even the appearance of supporting CSAM, not because they were guilty of anything.

PornHub has been very open about normalizing healthy sexuality for years, while also providing interesting data access for both scientists and the general public.

"Exodus Cry is an American Christian non-profit advocacy organization seeking the abolition of the legal commercial sex industry, including pornography, strip clubs, and sex work, as well as illegal sex trafficking.[2] It has been described by the New York Daily News,[3] TheWrap,[4] and others as anti-LGBT, with ties to the anti-abortion movement.[5]"

I live in Minneapolis bud. You will be actively shouted down for even mentioning that you considered reporting a crime because "the police might shoot them". Additionally, all property crimes here must now be reported to 311 (not the police) which is purely to get you a case number for insurance. They don't pursue them.

As for GDP, yeah man, urban areas are blue. It's not because they're better, it's because poor people congregate there for public services.

Right. That's why you build the software against a common library version.

$5700 for a bike is a bit of a luxury, that'll buy you a 2024 Honda Rebel DCT last I looked. I bought an '04 Shadow last year for $2000, maybe aim lower?

The reason for the difference is that it's a lot easier to destroy and steal a motorcycle, leaving nothing for the bank to repossess.

Crime stats depend on people reporting crimes. Something that is actively discouraged in blue states. You don't need a six figure salary when the cost of living is low. California has the 5th highest infant mortality rate in th country. Not everyone needs to pay a few years wages to a paper mill for a diploma they'll never use in their trade. California, Texas, New York and Florida have the four largest economies in the US. This hardly follows party lines.

Having every application load their own version of a library into memory is bloat.

The applications have binaries and libraries bundled for multiple arches. I wasn't speaking to the package manager.

But have you seen how many people dihydrogen monoxide kills every year?

This isn't a science post, it's a political agenda post.
