@Corfiot @Aldo2 @LukeAlmighty the court just arbitrarily decides how severe your crime was and then they charge you based on that. I'm sure you'd be fined more for having 10 knives on you, or for having a knife that looks scary.

@KaiserKitty @LukeAlmighty you mean, putting your property up on rentler or hiring a realtor? Or the renter asking for something to be fixed so you pay money for a maintenance dude to go fix it? Literally it's just throwing money at something that you believe will continue to generate money for you. It gets even worse when it's not just a single property but a company that manages a whole community, because the landlord isn't the one doing the work to upkeep that, they're paying other people to do it. To fill out paperwork, do maintenance, find residents, take rent, etc. They have just paid a lot of money and they get more money in return, or at least that's the goal.

The people doing the work are not landlords. In the rare case that a landlord is doing work, they're either not doing "landlord work" or they're doing something like filling out forms and printing them off.

@LodedDiaper @LukeAlmighty tbf the pharmacies don't know anything about the person they're selling the drugs to. That's on the doctor who prescribes the medication. The pharmacy has to assume that the person actually needs what they're buying.

@LukeAlmighty @Aldo2 imagine getting an "unlimited fine" for having a pocket knife lmao what a joke

@ehhh I'm sure they were in attendance

@LukeAlmighty @LodedDiaper depending on the drug seller they might be like that too lol

@Aldo2 yeah I know about people using AI filters and shit. That's definitely an issue, or at least it was. Idk I don't really use pixiv that much unless it's for finding artist profiles. There's plenty legitimate in that article, I just take issue with the framing of it. The people doing that shit are already pedos, and if looking at AI stuff turns people into pedos it's not a fault of the AI just like owning a gun isn't going to turn you into a murderer, if you're a murderer you'll just have a gun to do the deed with. That's not to say it shouldn't be removed or that it doesn't fall under current law regardless, but yeah it's just the framing.

I guess you wouldn't really be able to make the gun argument and have anybody in the UK understand that though lmao. It also always goes back to "think of the children!" which is always enough to get normies on board with selling away their freedoms and privacy. Like, I'd rather not trust the feds with knowing exactly where my kid is at all times, but despite most people distrusting the government a lot of them still eat that shit up.

Personally I think anyone who pays for AI art is a total chump lol, and doubly so if they know it's actually just filtered CP and they're using their actual credit card for it and shit. The fact that this is even lucrative for anyone is hilarious.

@coolboymew I hate it when people are playing music out loud in places like the grocery store or public transit. It's always the worst shit too, like grindcore or really shitty rap. I get annoyed at people driving through parking lots with their windows down and their music blaring too.

@Aviz @LukeAlmighty the landlord didn't build the house though, did they? They paid someone else to do it. That's like saying a video game publisher actually made the video game when all they did was foot the bill.

@LukeAlmighty being a landlord mostly involves just a large investment and then paying other people to do work when necessary (like maintenance). For the most part, it's passive income. All they do is collect money from people. I'm not saying that being a landlord isn't legitimate, but it's not necessarily "work," it's just investment.

Being a sex worker requires you to actually do stuff. You're trading your body, your dignity, and possibly your health for money, but isn't that what a lot of other jobs consist of anyway? It might not be moral/ethical work, depending on who you ask, but it is still work. You're still doing something directly related to the money you make, whereas a landlord is probably playing golf while making passive income.

@RehnSturm256 "who killed that mailman?"

"well that's a woman so it's a mailwoman"

"mailMAN, okay? mailwoman just sounds weird. have you ever heard anyone say that? no, don't be stupid. it's mailMAN!"

@GrungeQueef @histoire @RehnSturm256 people are not kind
