    Yeah, that’s what’s going to get you.

    Maybe if you loaned/rented them, but not many would go thru that hassle.

    And you’d need your own locked down ecosystem they can’t crack.

    On top of all that, I’m pretty sure even libraries got sued over doing this.

    I remeber someone once tried to stream physical blu rays online to people for a small fee. And that didn’t work out legally either.




  • A short trimmed beard you have to do the neck and maybe cheekbones, it’s a lot of upkeep.

    I think lots of guys had that type of beard pre-covid, then let it grow out. Once it’s long enough you don’t have to do the neck because it’s hidden by the rest of your beard.

    And some guys never have to do cheeks because it grows in good.

    Like how 20 years ago it was cool for teenagers and 20 somethings to have goatees. It took me a while to realize most were doing it because they couldn’t grow a full beard.

    There’s a lot of variation in facial hair, including where it grows and how thick.


  • Some people’s skin also can’t handle daily trauma from razors.

    Pili multigemini…

    I might have fucked up the order, but it means “multiple twin hairs”. Like, where just one hair should grow out of your skin, you have multiples.

    If you let it just grow, you’re fine. But if you shave it’s very easy for it to be ingrown because the “hole” the hairs come thru was only meant for one hair.

    When I was in the military and had to shave every day it was horrible. I don’t know if shaving makes more grow, but I’d have stubble thicker than mechanical pencil lead, and when I’d pluck it I’d find out it was 3-5 hairs attached to the same “root”. One of those becoming ingrown is a huge hassle.

    With a beard, it’ll just shed normally or come out when I comb it. The problem is when you shave and the hair bunch has to keep pushing thru the skin over and over.


  • Yeah, but the problem is people take it literally when it’s just an update of the analogy for Plato’s cave…

    You’re taking it even more literally and saying if it’s not a direct match, it’s not a simulation.

    Madden is a football simulation, even though it’s not the same as real life football

    It’s not that your thinking deeper than the analogy, it’s the analogy soaring over your head while you claim it doesn’t exist because you’re looking at the ground
