  • I mean, he comes across as an incredibly pathetic sad loser that has managed to gather some money and fame. His fans probably relate to the former and hope watching his videos and taking after him will lead to the latter. 🤷‍♂️

  • I'm sure this will solve the conflict. Nothing bad will ever come from this in the future I'm sure. The Palestinians will swiftly put this behind them forever because who ever thinks of what happened in the past?

  • First of all, LED is not the same as OLED. The O stands for organic. They are more sensitive to stuff and break down over time sort of (maybe a really crappy explanation, someone with more knowledge please help), especially the blue color.

  • Those things are absolutely contributing factors. But don't be so dismissive of the allure of video games. I grew up in paradise compared to what you describe, and we did play outside pretty much all the time. Then the NES came out. Our parents had to pry our asses from the TVs and throw us outside after that and threaten us with punishment if we didn't go outside to play. All we ever wanted to do was play Nintendo from there on out. Then some friends got computers... Yeah not much time was spent outside in paradise after that. And these days many games are designed to be addictive, to make you spend more time in them. We didn't have that and we were still hooked.

    I'm not saying that to bash games or anything, I still love games and have been a computer nerd since back then, I'm just saying.

  • It's basically booting and running the OS from inside the AI in the cloud!! The system doesn't "use" blockchain, it's made of blockchain! Every file is an NFT by default which provides a built in system for profit for everything you do on the computer!

  • That's what I'm saying! It does not say anywhere that it's spelled extrAverted in the UK. If anything it says the exact opposite.

    According to the Oxford English Dictionary, "The original spelling 'Extravert' is now rare in general use but is found in technical use in psychology."

    (emphasis mine)

  • I'm sorry, but you're confused, and you're making me very confused. Or I'm confused and you're confused also. All I know is I'm confused. And you.

    Viewer (customer) pays $100 for some content. Of those 100, OF (infrastructure & service provider) takes $30 as an income and the remaining $70 goes to the content creator as income.

    Profit is what's left from the income after you have paid your costs. The 30% OF takes is an income from which they will have to pay for things needed to run OF, and the 70% the content creators get is their income from which they have to pay for the things they need to create the content. Wages are included in the costs. What's left after paying bills, wages etc are the profits.

  • Maybe I'm tired but this comment reads to me as if you're disagreeing with me when everything you say supports what I said? My objection/question was how you came to the conclusion it's a US/UK thing. There's no support for that in the article.

  • Tldr A British English, O American English

    What? How did you get to that conclusion? That's not what the article says at all? It says Phyllis Blanchard used the (then incorrect) spelling with an O (while also changing the definition of the term to something most people I think would disagree with) in a paper she wrote and nobody knows why. And it spread from there.

    I think you're interpreting "Today, ExtrOvert is the most common spelling of the term in the United States." to mean it's spelled with an A elsewhere, but the author even brings up the Oxford Dictionary (UK) that says that the original spelling with an A is rare in general use. I live outside the US and I pretty much exclusively see the O-spelling.

    EDIT: Changed from "incorrect" to "then incorrect" to clarify. She wrote her article before extrOvert entered the dictionary, and - according to the author of the article linked earlier in this thread - her article might have been a big contributing factor for it entering the dictionary that was published soon after.

  • Those purchases aren't paid for by Only Fans. It's the content creators who pay for all that (unless there's a way to get sponsored by OF, I don't know). However, reliably storing and streaming video in high quality across the globe with low latency, both live and on demand, which is what OF does, is expensive af. It's one of the reasons, if not the main one, there are no real competitors to YouTube.
