There are no applicable laws that I know about, and as a voice actor I am similarly concerned. There is a lot of focus on this in the industry atm, but we all know how glacially slow government moves. SAG-AFTRA and NAVA have this as a focus currently, and I’m watching with interest.

The Watchmen. Everyone thought Ozymandias was the supreme evil but what he did ultimately saved billions of lives.

Welcome aboard!

Thankfully there are alternatives out there, and we should be using them.

They don’t. The message right now is to boycott Spotify.

The ‘fun’ adjective means everyone’s answers will be different! For me, exercising is good even if many times it ends up being a VR adventure or workout.

I enjoy growing a small garden! You might not xD

Pick up some acting classes and volunteer down at the local theatre to learn more about yourself, your expression to others, learn the intricacies of a great classic story and make new friends!

Really, just pick something and go to the moon with it

This is correct.

Honestly this is one of the few things that have improved in driving over the years. There’s still the occasional douchecanoe who rides in between both lanes to keep anyone from getting by, but that is now the exception as far as I’ve seen.

I think there ARE other ways to combat this, and the main one is ending activist investors that empower the Jack Welch pump and dump doctrine.

If someone wants to invest in something because they like it, they should be able to do that. What they should NOT be able to do is overwhelm a company they may or may not even like with dollars and then tell the company how to run its own business. If you don’t like what a company is doing, you SELL YOUR STOCK.

It’s this incessant worshiping of the shareholder that is step # 1 of enshittifcation.

Cancelled two weeks ago, and while it’s too early for me to have a fully informed opinion, so far I’ve noticed that if you just hold items in your cart until you reach some kind of threshold (and I admittedly don’t know what that is) you can get free shipping anyway.

It’s almost like I was paying all that money just so I could one off order anything on a whim. I’m an adult, I can exercise impulse control and stick it to Amazon in some small way by doing it. Win/Win.

Haha those are hornet’s nests.

Video beamed. Video intercepted by aliens. Think cats rule earth.

They’re right.

Writing, specifically long prose. When there’s a story that just has to be told and I feel it in the marrow of my bones I’ll write and I’ll love it.

If someone ever handed me a deadline, all joy would be lost. Some things just aren’t meant to be a job for me and forcing the issue would only make me depressed and the writing abysmal.

Halt and Catch Fire doesn’t get into the nitty gritty enough to spoil whatever you’re studying. It’s a really entertaining look at that time period though. If you’re gonna wait till after the final, wait because you really don’t need this distraction.

Right on the money. Psychologically, the best defense is a good offense. Socially, it’s not the best choice for building communities.

Sugar is a primary source of food for the bacteria that make up plaque. If you feed the bacteria, they will grow. As you can’t eliminate 100% of the sugar from your diet, teeth care is always going to be required. Less sugar, however, means, slower growth.

Also. Just like dogs have dental chews that help to clean their teeth, eating other non sugar foods can assist with controlling plaque. Vegetables in particular are helpful, but even something like chewing on beef jerky acts as a sort of scrub brush for the outside of the teeth.

When a corporation is willing to lose billions of dollars to capture an audience, effectively locking out any competition, and then counters any possible avenue to blocking their monopolistic stance, your first statement shouldn’t be about choice, because there isn’t one.

Time isn’t when you’re inhaling smog.

Because the masses always know what’s best and haven’t bought into a trend.

I mean, why in the world with someone at all concerned about security want a way to listen to their phone without the chance of someone listening in because of bluetooth?
