Don’t lottery tickets cost like $1?

I will continue to be a proponent of meditation practice. It’s honestly a shame imo that it has a “mystical” connotation. I think it’s very practical. I really don’t think of it much more than dedicating time to observing how my brain works. And a lot of that is all the stuff that arises that doesn’t feel like it “under your power.” When you actually sit down regularly and take notice of the arising and falling away of thoughts and emotions, it becomes a lot easier to not let it consume you and react.

It’s one thing to “know” the emotions are temporary and you shouldn’t react so strongly. It’s another thing to really internalize that and be able to have that same perspective in the moment of strong emotion. It’s practice.

Well this is what he’s aiming for but it doesn’t say much about how

It’s almost hard to imagine getting through this election cycle without at least one deep fake crisis

I doubt it. It would likely kill any non Giant tech backed AI companies though

Microsoft has armies of lawyers and cash to pay. It would make life a lot harder, but they’d survive

Large Hadron Collider could be an interesting candidate. It’s not very visible, but it’s unique, gigantic, and insulated from damage

I’m announcing I have put $1 towards getting a new set of tires for my car

Same reason anything else is. It’s big money. Porn is a multi billion dollar industry.

As for why “extreme” porn is so “normalized” I think it’s more because it’s stigmatized ironically. Have you ever had an in person conversation about why there’s so much step family porn? No of course not because then both people would be acknowledging they watch porn for one. So the social factors that would guide things are totally absent.

In this particular context regulatory capture and political donations is the unseen bullshit of the claim. Corporations DO make the rules

Maybe so. If both are ok, then what’s the claim of immorality?

I would agree it’s just a better experience for me personally. If I use a product extensively I would prefer to pay for it to remove the ads. But it doesn’t affect the creator’s compensation so far as I can tell.
