I'd recommend to be sure to use them locally as well, the LLM services don't need any more money and the ones you can download are still pretty useful regardless of how many astroturfers may want to downplay their usefulness. Just use with care and under the assumption that you are dealing with a charismatic yet frequently hallucinating liar.

I mean, yes, but is this particularly unpopular? I get the sense that there are plenty, but if they aren't erotic they don't tend to focus on the NSFW aspect. It then depends on the artist, you just have to look.

There's basically two sorts of people: the one's willing to overlook the aesthetics and the one's who aren't. There's a reason hospital staff wear them. They are not designed to look good, they are designed to let the humidity from your sweat evaporate instead of letting it accumulate into a damp breeding ground ripe for a host of foot conditions. For some people it will matter more than others.

There's plenty of Crocs designs that don't look ugly, but I hope they continue to be unpopular as that keeps them cheap. It's risky to switch to other brands with this sort of design, Crocs got it right.

The reason people are also having less children is precisely because of the way quality of life is tanking.People aren't suddenly less able to reproduce, they just don't want to go race to the bottom to have children. Rather than allowing societies time to adjust and compensate for these changes, people in their governments are forcing the race to the bottom.

The immigrants coming for these jobs are willing to drop their quality of life and make sacrifices like renting shared living spaces and having to work under worse conditions. Once we are at the bottom, the same problem will happen, just with lowered standards. This ends up making the "developing" countries balance out with the "developed" ones, which wouldn't be so bad if the politics didn't tank as a net loss. It's always requires more effort to to build up a healthy political environment than to take it down.

The "crisis", is that they all want cheaper workers, not that their particular workers aren't cheaper than their neighbors. It's a race to the bottom. If there's a shortage of workers, their wages rise, and people are interested in their jobs but then they would have to cut the profits.

Germany can and has attracted other EU citizens. They want cheaper. Butchers' shop and "critical skilled" are oxymorons. The Indians coming into Germany are working for the big shops and factories, not opening their own. It is a shift towards a migrant laborer based economies while those that own the actual assets get rich for relatively little effort, like with housing and the shift from owning to renting. The gap just keeps getting bigger.

Funny thing, after years of criticizing Starfield for poor quality, people suddenly begun to white knight about whether DLSS 5 was properly respecting Heller's intended rendition in Starfield. I'm sure they totally bothered to check the artist's or their player's opinion on it. To be honest, I'm sure they do care - some people only seem to find community in finding a shared hate.

Starfield patch coming up later this year. It'll remove some loading screens but generally won't change the game, yet to all the haters out there - sorry buds, gonna enjoy it!

In August 2025, Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the International Criminal Court, found himself locked out of the financial system and most online services. Why? Because the United States had placed him on a sanctions list that also includes al-Qaeda members, drug smugglers, and Vladimir Putin, simply because the court issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Five other ICC judges and three prosecutors have also ended up on the sanctions list.

So ... the opposite of the title? Europe placed an arrest warrant against Netanyahu and it was the US who placed these sanctions ...

Jacques Baud, a former employee of the Swiss intelligence service, military analyst, and regular commentator on the international Russian news channel RT, ended up on a sanctions list due to alleged support for Putin, by which EU authorities mean his pro-Russian analyses of Western policy in the run-up to the war in Ukraine.

Ah, there it is.

Gonna have to take the objectivity of the article into question, although it does employ a lot of truths to try to reach the conclusion it wants to reach.

It could also turn to other places in Europe for them. But that's the thing, isn't it, this isn't really about a shortage of workers, it's about not wanting to pay them more.

We were badly addressing it until today's world leaders decided to do a 180 and accelerate towards it. The good thing is that the efforts to prolong just themselves will also help them suffer the more for it.

AI is ignoring so many IP laws while the US government continues to push and collude with its cartels, all the while making sure the technology bubble is all AI and is all US centered. The EU certainly needs to do something, but I imagine many in the EU don't want to put their own IP at risk.

If you guys agree with both of these definitions, should you not ask or join a more apt community where it is in the rules instead of where the rules say otherwise? Seems easy to add on.

 

Perhaps it should be named "unconventional opinions that I still agree with"? Or perhaps "lol lets see what opinion they post now" (to be fair, the WHY ARE YOU BOOING ME? I'M RIGHT is sort of this)?

People are just upvoting and downvoting what they agree and disagree with, so it basically comes off as a trap to get things to laugh at - which it isn't even good at. Should people not be voting on "yes, this is something that is genuinely unpopular"?
