I’m gonna be brutally honest here, as I don’t care about the downvotes, but the amount of insanity and taboo around sexuality on - presumably predominantly American - online forums is indeed hard to bear. Always ready with the negative connotations: skimpy, slutty, cooties, cheating, home-wrecker; don’t even eye your cousin, that’s incest, therefore the worst thing in the world; a young woman loves a much older man, oh, he must have been grooming or coercing her; don’t masturbate or you’ll go blind, hair will grow on your palms… From a European POV, these seem like compulsory figments of messed-up minds. Love, sex - why can’t they just be there? So people can enjoy them? Why must people shit all over everything that brings joy? Even when mentioning these taboos “ironically,” such people perpetuate a culture of prudery and I don’t want it to creep into my own culture.

“We still talk about you”

It’s moronic. Currently, decision makers don’t really understand what to do with AI and how it will realistically evolve in the coming 10-20 years. So it’s getting pushed even into environments with 0-error policies, leading to horrible results and any time savings are completely annihilated by the ensuing error corrections and general troubleshooting. But maybe the latter will just gradually be dropped and customers will be told to just “deal with it,” in the true spirit of enshittification.

First step, be a business. Second step, accept Trump’s dick in your ass. Congratulations, here’s your “get out of jail free” card.

My main takeaway is that some contrived notion of “national security” has now become an acceptable justification for business decisions in the US.

No thread is safe…

That’s… a lot better than I thought.

- Not to leave the room… even if you come and get him.
No, no. Until I come and get him.
- Until you come and get him, we’re not to enter the room.
No, no, no… etc.

While this arguably doesn’t prevent anything on its own, it might expose what you just said - bot farms and sock puppets.

Outstanding.

A flying squid, too.

I also had to switch accounts because after an update, the banking app didn’t work any longer on my rooted phone and I couldn’t log in. Thankfully, I’ve been keeping two accounts since forever, with the main motivation being that banks really like changing their TOS and introducing all sorts of fees, which I don’t want.

Bleak when only a time traveler from the future can save the world from impending doom at this point.
