I know "shields up" is obviously an understandable sci-fi ask when you're in a spaceship facing down an alien spaceship...however also very funny that Ryland "I prefer to put a wall up in my relationships" Grace is out here reaching for his Old Reliable Cope.

9 out of 10 times I see people on here celebrating a new "landmark piece of anti-AI legislation" the legislation in question is inevitably some variation of "we propose making IP laws more restrictive but presented through the language of opposing AI". But that one from germany about holding google liable for the words of its AI overview feature is legitimately good I think. If they actively choose to shove that thing in everyone's face as the first thing they're going to see when they make a google search then they shouldn't be able to dodge accountability for the information it provides with a little "gemini AI can be inaccurate, please remember to double-check information teeheehee" disclaimer.

typed and deleted a post but know it is my burden to have the correct opinion all the time

there desperately needs to be a separate option to report ads for hijacking your touch screen or automatically launching your browser/app store the moment you scroll past it. "malicious" is not a strong enough word. i need the "go fuck yourself and die in a pit of boiling acid x10000" option

the reason I casually say charlie kirk's wife had him killed is not necessarily because I believe it, but because nothing stops the right from spouting random conspiracy theories about political enemies, so i'll say whatever the hell I want when one of their idols dies. also it's funny. the entire charlie kirk death is inherently funny. he was in the middle of answering a question related to mass shootings when he died.

I know I'm failing in my New Years Resolution to stop commenting upon the opinions of people beneath me but I saw Discourse on Twit because some anonymous lesbian was like "I have a d*ke-breaking kink, and I feel so guilty, am I a bad person" and people were overwhelmingly like "Yes you are, you probably aren't even a real lesbian, no real lesbian would want that" and the few outliers I could find were still like "Hey, leave her alone! She is obviously traumatized and was probably SA'd and this is her coping mechanism! Yes, she still needs to go to therapy to get rid of it, but ultimately she's a victim!" I need you people to get jobs as youth pastors like you clearly crave and stop posting

The thing people miss about kinks that drives me crazy is that it doesn't MEAN anything. Yes there can be causes. Yes if it's hurting you that's worth looking into. But a kink itself is just there. It's texture. It's a skin tag. Its value is entirely derived from what you assign it, what you do with it, what you think of it, but it's just THERE. It's fucking nothing. You can be embarrassed by it or flaunt it and other people might comment on it but it has no meaning in and of itself. It drives me crazy how people who have the approximate imaginative capacities of creatures from the Benthic zone feel they can opine on this at all

Does anyone have good band of brother sick fic recs? I’m getting over a fever of 101° and dying and need sustenance
