to expand on this point, when i realized i was trans and after i started taking hormones, i said that to myself and to my friends; i felt like my life has been on hold for decades and i finally felt free to actually live it

Yeah, if that isn't in there somewhere, you can safely discard their opinions about how a near-future 2ACW would play out

Not a stripper, but my dive bar is down $50,000 compared to this time last year, and my booze is cheap. We're fucked if alcoholics aren't drinking.

I've worked in the industry for years. It's been bad for the last three years now and continuing to get worse.
Prior to covid, at my club you could expect a ratio of 5 or 6 customers per girl. Since covid it dropped to 1 to 1 or worse. And not just my club but the whole area. The first couple years after covid money got stupid good but that all dried up a few years ago.
Previously when the industry slowed, the girls would bounce to other clubs and eventually come back after a month or two. However, girls are now leaving the industry entirely

My earnings have definitely declined in the past year.
I'm still doing okay because of my past regulars but they're coming in less as well. Tourism is down in my state. It isn't great. It isn't my only source of income but l'd be struggling a bit if it was.

It's bad. Real bad. Worse than it was in 2008, and that's saying something.
I stopped by my old club last week and the manager said they made more money during Covid.

Left the industry entirely this year, after the past 3 years of decreasing pay with no bounce back at all.
Most dancers at the last place I worked were lucky to leave with $200 at the end of a shift, at this point.
We're not getting naked for warehouse pay, ladies and gentlemen. The only women that are left are there because they have no other options at all.
Everyone with an option is gone. The money is gone.
Our clients no longer have enough money for the club and many dancers have a second job now.

Redditor asks how things are looking at strip clubs, a known indicator of economic downturn. The answers are pretty bleak (albeit not all responses are from strippers)

Procgen enjoyers stay winning - we can make games that are easily this surreal with 'conventional' game engines, but an LLM/LVM will never produce coherent or consistent gameplay, because they're basically 'language without thought'.

I'm going with "OpenAI failing to pay hardware vendors or service debt accounts with said vendors". The recent AMD-OpenAI deal is a lot less favorable than certain people made it sound, and the one thing worse than gear-on-credit is vendors going "no credit, just discounts now".

for years now, even decades, we've been teased with a Greater Depression. Long Crisis heads have been disappointed time and time again as successive administrations find it in themselves to kick the can.

The finished Aqua Mouse, an Aquamarine/White light-up pc mouse with an estradiol sticker and little creatures floating in liquid, the sticker is for the tablet version of estrogen, and has a little trans flag on it!

an estradiol pill sits on unused stickers next to it to illustrate the mouse is the same color as the medication. A Razer Deathadder Essential mouse is next to it to illustrate size. I have a bunch of other junk on my desk too lol

Yeah, this is the standard "lone wolf disavowal" statement. It's not as well known as the other parts of the "lone wolf"/"[far-right] leaderless resistance" playbook but even one's honor is fair game to be sacrificed for the cause, especially if he'll be treated as a martyr in private.

That would be a pretty fundamental bug in your filesystem's code, and there hasn't been a big "[NTFS|APFS|ext4] has a severe data-loss bug" announcement lately, so I strongly doubt it?

I don't? The EE is a 64-bit part, it just has some 128-bit vector units on the side. Filling the VUs with instructions and data would have been much more painful with 32-bit registers/ops, which was my point.

03.09.2025 07:28 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

X360 *ports* to PC mostly compiled to 32-bit because MSVC's x64 compilers until the 2010s were pretty horrible and the userland/driver situation wasn't much better (XP64 was experimental, Win7 was the first Windows to actually work well on AMD64), so there wasn't a point.

03.09.2025 06:42 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Nope. Maybe on x86 (early AMD64 compilers were kinda dogshit at using the extra registers), but while the PS2 EE (R5900) made some extremely questionable architectural decisions, staying in 64-bit mode isn't one of them, mostly because eventually you're going to use the vector units, end of.

not sure. like I said, it's a mess. your best bet is gonna be wired, especially for third-party controllers, since at least there we can treat it as a composite device with an HID and a USB audio device involved.
