RCS supports message reactions, just not the crazy iMessage effects.

Right, but the features will be mostly on-par with iMessage. The only thing you'd be missing out on are chat effects and the 3D avatar things. The stigma will stay for a little bit, but probably die out over time because the stigma developed in the first place not due to the color of the bubble, but because the color of the bubble meant worse features.

I couldn't really pin down exactly what my problem with sex work was until reading this. I try not to judge, but I've always found it problematic and I do find myself feeling like it shouldn't have to be a thing. Anecdotally, every person I've interacted with who brought the topic up always joked about wanting to do it just for the money.

The fact that it's paid for as a service makes it inherently open to exploitation, and thus unethical.

Imagine I'm a car salesman who doesn't give a shit about EVs. I just want to sell a car.

"This car right here, you can fill 'er up in 1 hour! Oh but this feller, well she only takes 60 seconds, and has twice the range to boot!"

The average person isn't going to care that the first car is an EV and the second car is gas-powered.

Most people can't afford to get charging set up at home for overnight charging, either. You're also not considering emergency scenarios where people won't have time to wait an hour for their vehicles to charge.

The scenario you're imagining is an ideal scenario, not working with the current reality we have right now. The industry is working on making EVs charge extremely quickly because they believe it is a major selling point for their vehicles. Which, for the average person, it absolutely is. If EVs want to outsell gas-powered vehicles consistently, they need to meet the basics of being able to fill up quickly and having identical range.

It's true.

That's what it looks like on my lemmy.ml account.

I genuinely had no idea. That's insane.

It's $20 for just removing ads permanently. But still, that's still too much imo.
