  • Post-scarcity is more accurate for what I was imagining, yes.

  • It does if they formally define it as their career path and treat it as such.

    Sex work is more than just having sex with people for fun. There's layers, specializations, and skill to it. Not all of it is strictly physical. Someone might want to just go on a date after their spouse passed away, for instance. Handling that situation requires a lot of emotional maturity and your skill in those situations improves with experience.

    Edit: better examples would be sex surrogacy or porn creation.

  • There can be other forms of compensation in currencyless societies, so not necessarily. There's also just the personal fulfillment aspect, which is supposed to be the main thing motivating people to work in this hypothetical.

    Edit: Other forms of compensation would re-introduce ethical questions, so that's probably a bad suggestion. It would have to be a post-scarcity society, as others have pointed out.

  • Literally looks just like Abraxas

  • If you can confidently say that your work interactions are "high quality" then I envy you lol. Work people and real people are two different sets of people to me.

  • I think Mickey just serves as a stand-in for Disney in general

  • I feel like it has to be the second thing, but not everyone has those religious experiences, and even the religious don't always correlate these things to God. It just requires so many layers of weird assumption that I really don't know what to think.

  • The answer to questions like these is always money.

  • I feel like there's a lot of these, where someone says "how do you explain [extremely basic, everyday thing] without [religion]?", it's kinda weird. Like being a certain level of religious makes you immune to all common sense.

  • Never used it, might check that one out after

  • It's the best replacement for Google keyboard I've tried by a wide mile. I like the gestures it has by comparison, they allow finer control. It's also very stylish. I'll probably use it for a long while.

  • Same, I don't understand how schools can weasel their way out of federal holidays so easily lol.

  • I don't know why but those ice cream things make me physically sick to look at sometimes. That amount of sugar in one sitting is borderline lethal for me.

  • That's just the most popular ones frankly. There are exceptions, but the popular anime tend to follow tropes more closely than the less popular ones.

    Anime is more of a medium than a genre, though there are certainly tropes that you'll find in the vast majority of shows like over-acted dialogue and facial expressions, over-explaining, slow pace, etc.

  • I'm in the middle of the mage exam arc and right now I'm severely disappointed with it. I know people tend to say this arc is the worst in the series, but it's really starting to wear on me. Hoping it gets better.

  • Gotta be the first half of Death Note, before that one guy dies, trying not to spoil it lol but if you know you know

  • I felt like it was this at first, but eventually it becomes more of your standard Shounen "which guy is strongest? Find out next week" sort of affair. All the side characters and filler really distracted from the point of the show for me. More than just providing context and justification for the main plot, it took away from it IMO.

  • Found FUTO to be my favorite of the and trying it out now as a daily driver, thanks for the suggestion :)

  • Use Solemn Wishes from Yu-Gi-Oh and become invincible because nothing in Magic can do 500 dmg
