He probably doesn't deserve a devil's advocate, but that said, I'm pretty sure Louis didn't masturbate in public, but rather during phone calls and in private in front of unconsenting or at least not explicitly consenting company, from the accounts I've read. I'm not defending it because it's abusive and wrong, but it's also not quite the same thing as masturbating in public.

I would highly recommend the recent Freakonomics Radio series about whaling. It's Episodes 549-551 and the bonus episode from 2023-08-06. If you're firmly against killing any living creature (or at least sentient creatures), I highly doubt it will change your mind (and I don't think that it should or that it tries to), but I also think it is really fascinating learning about the history of the whaling industry and hearing the perspective of a modern whaler in the bonus episode. Putting aside the obvious ethical issues with killing sentient creatures, it's interesting to consider things like whether there's a sustainable level of whaling, what a sustainable quota would look like, and how much we're in competition with certain whale species for harvesting fish as food for our own species. I personally appreciated how unbiased Freakonomics tried to be in their discussion of the topic.

If it came out today, it might hit that sweet spot of being too edgy for liberal parents and too "woke" for conservatives

Google Photos nags me to let it clean them up and I usually let it 🤷

And make America pay for it! That'd make me laugh every time I think about it for now and forever after Donald Trump tried to get Mexico to pay for his dumb fucking wall.

For sure, hands are generally getting better, but they are still a persistent problem. Mostly you need a prompter who isn't lazy and is actually looking at the outputs.

Oh come on now, that's not their sole goal in life...

They also want to make sure poor people don't get everything they need.

I really appreciate this response, I have basically no interest in spending time watching other people play games when I don't even have time to play them myself very often. As a result, I have no idea who the celebs are in this realm of culture, so thank you for getting me up to speed!

Aside from being tone deaf, I think this is bad advice. Common breakfast foods are fairly cheap comparatively and I'm pretty sure most nutritionists recommend eating something for breakfast to kickstart your metabolism. If I were skipping/reducing a meal, it would be lunch.

The addition of the delta symbol is exactly the kind of creativity we need around here. I'd give you Lemmy silver if I could afford it.

Who is Dream and, more particularly, what's the connection to those sneakers?

It's the leaning tower of cheeza!

On a serious note, that was probably not a great way to go and I feel bad for the family.
