I don't understand the resistance to changing platforms that many people and especially companies show.
For example the company I work for refuses to consider anything except Xitter. Casually talking with the people running social media, I concluded they think about platforms as a fixed fact of nature, rather than something flexible that you can experiment with.

There's basically a minimal cost to having a multi-platform presence. Copy/paste your posts to 3 places, there are even tools to automate it.

Yes in 2 ways:

  • Gradually through the years, so slowly they don't even notice it
  • If they internally decide they have to do it, for some motivation of their own

What will never ever happen is that people change if others demand it from them. If you hear someone saying "I promise I will change" - no they won't.

Nice. Also, I'd like to see weight as one of the filter/sort options.

An easy way out. That's it.

If it's about a material thing - being able to throw it away and buy a "correct" one without worrying about recouping any money.

If it's about politics - open path to changing your opinion without constantly being called out for your previous opinion. I feel like changing your mind is punished to an extreme. You need to have always believed the "correct" thing without showing any doubt or you're out. And this is common to many political groups.

In his defense, in 1721 vaccines were really a new unproven technology. And if you don't know it works, or even what causes diseases in the first place, it's reasonable to be skeptical. It's also reasonable to change your mind when you see it does really work.

Antarctica. It's possible, there are regular tours to the South Pole. In reality I can't afford €60k+ for such a tour, but if money is no object I'd go

I was just letting some frustrations into the keyboard. True, I don't personally know any trans people. And my frustration stems from both sides claiming they have the One True Answer to the questions about sex and gender.
Of course I'm more willing to agree with the pro-trans side since they are willing to show some doubt about all of it being genetically pre-determined (which is imo obviously false)

So does this mean DP is something you need to work for in the porn industry? Like they don't let beginners do it, you need to reach a certain seniority level before you're allowed to take on serious projects.
