Do you approve sex work? Why or why not?

selling your body

i hate that phrasing to describe sex work. no one is "selling their body", as they are still in control of it. sex workers provide a service, same as a masseuse or hair stylist (except their service involves genitals) and it should be treated as such.

Otherwise one could argue that all (physical) labour is "selling your body"

AfD is the most popular party in Germany for the first time, with a record 26%

Reply in thread

We don't know how good AFD would be at doing, what they claim. But none of the parties who have been in power over the last 20-30 years have done anything significant to improve the average workers economic status (e.g. make housing affordable, guarantee a reasonable pension, lessen the fear of unemployment, etc.). AFD claims, "if we get rid of the immigrants, everything will be better again" and people are believing it.

Remedy's new CEO is a former sports betting guy and EA executive who aims to 'scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value'

IMO Alan Wake 2 could have performed much better if it wasn't an Epic exclusive, but from what I heard, because of that deal, Remedy got their development cost back before the game officially broke even.

Don't know what to think of Firebreak, because it's a genre i don't like (coop) and that doesn't go well with Remedys biggest strength, the storytelling. Until recently i didn't even know the game existed.
