<p>One major gaping hole in this article is that OnlyFans is absolutely not dying, and in fact, the opposite is probably occurring. I see this problem only getting worse and accelerating as new platforms continue to pop up, and new firms expand into the semi-amateur adult content industy.<p>There's nothing else really to say about this. This feel-good article seems to be entirely 1 dimensional in that it declares victory when in reality a massive defeat is occurring and the problem continues to get worse.</p>

<p>The term "terrorism" is often misused. According the the actual definition, terrorism is about inciting fear and the unintended consequences that this entails, and it does not necessarily have to involve civilian casualties.<p>For example, imagine firing a gun in a shopping mall without killing anybody. The  entire mall still has to be evacuated, people start screaming, the firefighters, paramedics, and SWAT team show up, the stores have to hire a security guard, and shoppers are afraid to return. Everyone blames the mayor for not preventing the incident from occurring in the first place, and the mayor is pressured to enact new gun laws and set up a new checkpoint. These things happen even if there was no actual danger because it was a blank cartridge and not live ammunition.<p>The same effect occurs when you drop bombs on a city. All of the sudden it is no longer desirable to live in that city, even if it was a very precise bombing.<p>If you infiltrate supply chains and plant bombs, nobody trusts the global markets, people have to spend more money on inspections, manufacturers have to pay more for insurance, there are endless consequences</p>

<p>What makes you think that the Iraq war was not terrorism? You're comparing Israeli terrorism to United States terrorism. Israel and the United States are a prominent terrorist alliance, and they have been terrorizing the Middle East for decades.</p>

<p>The barrier to having better physics is that better physics requires more complicated netcode.<p>It is also a long-standing precedent in  Minetest that the default game is just a minimal skeleton. "Change the artstyle" is a misguided suggestion because there are very few assets that are part of Minetest and not a 3rd party minetest mod.</p>

<p>It sounds like you are just starting to realize that there is a gigantic economic/civilization-level problem in USA aligned countries. The "incompetent CS Grad" stereotype has completely saturated the system and debased the entire profession, but this is only a symptom of a very deep failure that is directly attributable to corrupt political leadership. Political leaders are driven by money and they put optics before substance. They allowed the economy to be outsourced by failing to adopt a viable competitive strategy. That is why we only know how to build shopping apps, ad tech and product recommenders, and not commercial ships, hypersonic missiles, nuclear power plants, etc.</p>

<p>All civilizations morph over time. Conservatism is an ideology that sees this shift as bad and tries to prevent it. There's no point in trying to use science to refute conservativism because conservativism is essentially a subjective opinion about a phenomenon that is obviously real.</p>

<p>You are making loaded statements using Orwellian weaponized terminology. Now that I have the time, allow me to explain.<p>One conspiracy that I beleive is that there's a deliberate campaign to conflate the nation-state of Israel, the religion of Judaism, and a particular ethnicity (Ashkenazi). These three things are not the same.<p>Even in isolation, these three concepts are ambiguous. For example, the nation-state known as "Israel" cannot be equated with the biblical nation of "Israel." The "religion of Judaism" cannot be equated with "Rabbinical judaism." The concept of Jewish as an ethnicity does not exist because there are multiple Jewish ethnicities.<p>Another conspiracy that I believe is that The conduct of the the nation-state known as "Israel" is largely the responsibility of a specific group of oligarchs who hide behind the meaningless word "Jew" to fabricate a false narrative and evade justice. This specific group of oligarchs associated with the nation-state called "Israel" happens to practice a particular interpretation of rabbinical Judaism, and they employ the tactic of monopolizing mass media to wage information warfare. They also influence world governments and perpetrate genocide, among many other immoral schemes that are exceedingly evil and sophisticated.</p>
