Thanks for that. It’s good food for thought. The piece missing seems to me to be population data; how has the overall number of sex workers changed?

Does this actually line up with the facts? I’ve heard anecdotal evidence of sex workers going “underground” and having to deal with seedier clients, but it also seems that the Nordic model has made a huge impact by reducing overall demand for sex work.

“Black,” as used to describe race, is a term with a great deal of nuance. As is “white.”

Unless they have reverted it, my understanding is that the Oscars implemented ranked-choice voting for the Best Picture category, and that this change was made in conjunction with increasing the number of potential nominees.

Have you considered that you might have a higher population with access to industrial technology than the Earth did in the 19th century?

Don’t feel bad about its pricing. Companies often earn more with lower prices than with high prices if the lower price drives a sufficiently higher rate of sales. 

I think they couldn’t trademark “Sci-Fi,” which would be a bit of an issue potentially. 

Probably in its mining and transportation. Nuclear power is a lot less CO2-emitting than fossil fuels, but it isn’t totally carbon neutral. Same goes for renewables. 

I’m definitely pro-unionization for the game industry, but unions have less power when it comes to layoffs.

Considering the vast number of worlds that KH ties together, I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes a Square Enix game at some point and has a tie-in with a future KH title. It’d be like the Final Fantasy characters in KH, only Verum Rex is first encountered in KH rather than in Verum Rex itself.

There is value to having a staggered launch, so that you can get a more accurate picture of what hardware (or cloud services) will be needed to scale with user growth.

My favorite film musicals are largely those from the 60s and early 70s: Scrooge, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Doctor Dolittle, Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Fiddler on the Roof, Hello Dolly!, et cetera.

I really do hate tailgaters, though. I try to do my best to stay out of passing lanes when I know I’m only going slightly over the speed limit.
