And once you get any one of those things, getting the other 2 becomes much easier.

Again, I’m not defending this particular guy - I’m criticizing the response, which is an attitude that’s prevelant today, especially amongst the youth. A lot of people hate on sex/nudity of any form in mainstream art, and their argument is generally “just go watch porn you creeps”.
Maybe Supergirl specifically shouldn’t be sexualized (even though she’s sexualized in most of the source material I remember), but if so, let’s come up with a better reason than “a containment genre exists for sex, and if you want to see it escape that box then you’re a degenerate!”.
See, that’s an example of a much better argument than “porn exists, stop being a creep”.
Sex is too important to be left to porn.
Not saying this guy in particular is right, but I hate this attitude that “porn exists so we shouldn’t have sex, or nudity, or anything horny in other art forms”. We shouldn’t treat people like creeps just because they want more horny in mainstream art.
I find the current cinema trend of “everyone is beautiful, but no one is horny” far creepier than the rampant sexualization in old 80s movies.
I’m happy with my hybrid schedule. Some tasks are faster or easier on-prem, and I get a chance to socialize and get out of my house. I also think its beneficial for people to see my face a couple times a week to remind them that I exist and am contributing.
If I was 100% remote I’d degenerate to full on hermit mode.
Not necessarily, I see it as “stream of consciousness”. And no, sleep isn’t the same as your stream of consciousness completely ending and then a clone of it starting up somewhere else.
I don’t believe in souls, but I sure as shit wouldn’t go through a Star Trek style teleporter. Many people seem to think that since the clone that pops out the other end is identical to them, down to the brainwaves, that it doesn’t matter. They don’t seem to comprehend or care that from THEIR point of view, they would die.
The fact a perfect copy has replaced me would not be of any solace, if anything it makes it scarier.

I do find it uncanny how consistently this happens. I won’t speculate as to why or if it’s good or bad - but I do find it really off-putting when I’m trying to relax and recuperate after sex, and suddenly I’m getting slapped with some existential question or interrogation about the nature of our relationship (even after getting married).
Seriously, it’s really pissing me off. Corporations already have way too much influence over tech and culture, why are we surrending more ground and self-censoring to appease them. These people need to find some self-respect and stop kowtowing to the algorithms.
“Yeah, but can you look like her?”
