It's very easy to compare this to The Prohibition but the reality is alcohol is much more popular than tobacco. For someone who doesn't drink, understanding the appeal of drinking in a social setting is way easier. With this law I don't think there is a need for a black market of tobacco like there was with alcohol as it will still be available to purchase, just more controlled. The effect will be a reduction in exposure in younger generations that simply won't find the need to start smoking. This works and in my province of Quebec since laws have been getting stricter the only people that still smoke are poor or raised by heavy smoker parents.

It's fine I am not here for imaginary points but for good conversation like this ๐Ÿ˜. That sounds very hard, for my part most of my thinking revolves around imagining objects, even when they're metaphores like trees when coding and such. You have all my sympathy as well, hopefully you can find ways to work around it and figure out solutions.

I don't have aphantasia but I have ADD. It causes me so many problems in my day to day life and in my relationships. It's one of those things that people think that either I am too lazy to "just do it" or "just make an effort to remember" or that I am mentally challenged If I try to explain it. Or worse, people think they have it too because they have all the symptoms some of the time. For me it's not a woopsie daisy kind of forgetfulness, it's every. Single. Time. All. The. Time. So I don't have aphantasia but I kind of understand the struggle, of not being neurotypical. I am very curious about what it means to have aphantasia, would you care to explain what it's like?

There is no concept of personal "algorithmic" feed here unless he subscribed to a bunch of hentai communities. I agree that when browsing on Everything sorted by New, there is a LOT of hentai. That includes AI generated hentai that seems popular here, probably because it is a legal gray zone.

It's ridiculous that they would rather throw out all this product instead of just buying the domain back and serve a simple website. Goes to show how little the brand controls about their business.

Yea actually, that has a good "taste your own medecine" vibe

TBF, I don't think the purpose of this watermark is to prevent bad people for passing AI as real. It would be a welcome side-effect but that's not why google wants this. Ultimately this is supposed to prevent AI training data from being contaminated with other AI generated content. You could imagine if the data set for training contains a million images generated with previous models having mangled fingers and crooked eyes, it would be hard to train a good AI out of that. Garbage in, garbage out.

As far as I understand, they were offering free hosting and bad actors took advantage. They didn't want to start charging so they closed down. Like giving out candies on Halloween and one asshole takes the whole bowl. No candies for you kid, sorry.

If it's anything like my house, they probably carpeted it because they were too lazy to plaster and paint

Could it be hiding pipes? Is there a sink or bath behind this closet?

I'm assuming the increased data usage comes from fetching the content directly from the source where large images or videos might be allowed, whereas on Reddit this stuff was compressed and had limited sizes
