  • I have good news for you! The income distribution of OnlyFans creators like many other platforms follows a power law, where the top 1% earn 33% of all revenue, and the average creator only earns $150-180 each month. Don't think young women doing it tough are likely to be coerced by that.

    Most of the high earners are those who already have an established audience, e.g. ex porn stars.

  • The Galaxy S5 had flagship specs, SD card slot, 3.5mm jack, IP67 water resistance, and a removable battery via a durable polycarbonate (plastic) back cover, back in 2014, a whole decade ago.

    It was roasted by reviewers for being made out of "non premium" materials.

  • This only applies to discount brokers, all of which are licensed, regulated brokers.

    You do, in fact, “own” the stocks you buy.

    The internal plumbing of securities clearing, settlement, and registration is not a concern to retail investors.

    Stop buying into juvenile conspiracies.

    And if for some reason you are still not satisfied, you can always opt for a "full service" broker or ask to register the shares in your name, both of which are much more expensive.

  • Been a while since I experienced malware, but they typically forcibly change your browser's default search engine to a shady one with more malware, even after you try to change it to something else. Even for somewhat tech savvy users, this can be somewhat difficult to overcome.

    Sounds like Microsoft is somehow overriding this with Bing.

  • People talk a lot about single payer healthcare, but some legal scholars propose a single payer judicial system. I.e. private lawyers are banned, and everyone must use publicly funded lawyers.

    This would make prosecution accessible to the masses, and successfully defending not related to how much money you have.

  • Drag Queen Amanda Tori Meating has talked about her day job as a minimum wage Onlyfans writer. There's an entire industry involving talent agencies representing low wage gig workers that pretend to be the model you're paying $X per month to interact with.

  • When you become disillusioned with being a corporate slave, and decide with the help of your grandfather's inheritance to exploit the natural resources of a tiny remote community, enslave a native race of spirit animals, stalk the locals and bribe them with gifts, push out an international competitor under the guise producing local "artisanal" goods, all for the purpose of expanding your huge vertically integrated agri business empire

  • A lot of the academics associated (formerly or currently) with Chicago Booth are highly respected as economists but highly conservative. As influential and famous they may be, their personal blogs and twitter account are yikes.

    E.g. Harald Uhlig, Joch H Cochrane

  • The frogs only stayed in the water because Friedrich Goltz lobotomized the frogs beforehand. Which makes it a perfect metaphor because the Murdoch media has definitely lobotomized the public.

  • Many Asians sadly fall victim to believing in the model minority myth, that Asians are somehow not like other immigrants because they "assimilated" in spite of racism against them without the chaotic and disruptive protests. In truth, the Asian model minority myth was and is a racial wedge used to push Asians against others, and itself perpetuates many harmful stereotypes. Never mind the fact that Asian civil rights movements were similar to (and in fact supported ) their Black counterparts, but erased from history.

  • No? Searching for "digital picture frame" brings up pages of results. These are popular enough because they are much cheaper than an equivalently sized tablet, e.g. a 10 inch digital picture frame details for around $150, which is less than half the price of a crappy android tablet.

    Also, tablets don't really exceed 12 inches or so in size, but you can get digital picture frames as large as TVs.

  • It is estimated that China's subsidies for its domestic industries are extraordinarily high, ranging from 3-9 times compared to that of other OECD countries. BYD in particular is estimated to have received 2.1 billion EUR in 2022 in direct subsidies alone. This figure is understood to be understated due to additional indirect assistance such as cheaper access to batteries etc.

    For comparison, Tesla is estimated to have received around 2.8 billion USD in combined state, local and federal subsidies, with an additional 460 million USD in the form of bailouts and loan assistance, in total to date.
