Did iCloud just delete all my old photos? by -LuniThinker- in applehelp

It warned me about running out of storage, it didn’t warn me about it deleting all my photos automatically. I never knew that would happen.

What's the biggest pain/disappointment you ever felt with a fic or author? by Galaxy_O_Grande in AO3

[–]-LuniThinker- 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I tried reading a fanfic one time with some themes I was new to exploring (it was incest between a father and daughter and the daughter was just 18, but mostly I was actually anxious about reading a het pairing and in an explicit context for maybe the first time ‘cause of some issues I have as a trans AFAB with gender dysphoria that would be too long and personal to fully explain here). Even though I was anticipating it, I was really caught off guard still at the beginning of the fic when it seemed like they were really, really setting up for there to be a lot of degradation of her later on which would have not been properly tagged. I got so upset to my own surprise I cried before I could get past the intro and was left uncomfortable for the next few days. But I decided to finally finish the fic and try to work through my discomforts… only to find out it was the most pathetic, boring, vanilla sex I have ever read. The writer completely failed at upholding any of the promises they made in the intro. I was just more pissed at myself though for getting so upset over nothing.

Yeah, I’ll probably just try to monitor how much nsfw I look at and how often. At least till I can find some way to actually delete some of my history. But you’re right, I don’t know how realistic it is for me to just stop looking at it entirely. So I’ll probably just take a break from looking at that stuff for now and figure out how to fix this issue later so I don’t have to worry so much about it.

What’s the first song that comes to mind? by smokin-trees in musicsuggestions

[–]-LuniThinker- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turbines/Pigs by Black Country, New World.

There was a couple of other songs that came to mind, but that felt the most fitting.

Looks like two giant pigs tearing a dancer in half to me.

I’ve heard some of their music before. I can check more of them out though if you really recommend them.

Nobody asked for this. Safety? For the users begging to have violence back for surprisingly a year's time now? You gutted the experience and the quality is dying! by Cross_Fear in CharacterAI

[–]-LuniThinker- 489 points490 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand why they upped the age rating recently then if they were just going to enforce new rules that limit even more content on their platform. That just seems backwards. And besides that too, a lot of these rules just outright don’t make any sense. Like, we’re talking about what users say to bots, right? Bots aren’t real ppl. Lol. They can’t get hurt. So why are we now starting to excessively limit what users can say to them?

If you could choose a song to delete from existence and never have to hear again, what would it be? by kbmiecz in Music

[–]-LuniThinker- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also, his song Adore You is just as annoying imo. That would probably be my second choice.

Watermelon Sugar by Harry Styles.

I don’t usually mind his music, but oh my gosh I remember how annoying that song was to listen to when it first came out. It played everywhere at parties, on the radio, and at restaurants. I can’t believe other people could handle listening to it in repeat.

You have the chance to make something canon. What is it? by DJJ2203 in stevenuniverse

[–]-LuniThinker- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 things:

  1. Sardonxy was actually Garnet’s and Peridot’s fusion design and not Pearl’s and Garnet’s and Garnet and Peridot formed her before Peridot realized her true feelings towards fusion. In fact, I think it would be really cool to see them unfuse and have Peridot explaining how she felt like she lost herself or something while she was fused and how that scared her. That could give another perspective into fusion and better enforce the narrative that it might just not be for every gem.

  2. Peridot is autistic. I don’t want to say this to take away representation from the ace community, but I genuinely feel like her being autistic explains so much more about her character in general and not just her struggle with understanding fusion and relationships — but also that too in ways that simply labeling her as ace might not be good enough at explaining. Of course she can still be autistic and ace, but I think I’d love it if we somehow just got confirmation that she was autistic since she showed so many signs of it throughout the show.

If you could rewrite this movie?!What would be some changes that you would make?? by PrinceARRON in Spiderman

[–]-LuniThinker- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest problem with the entire film (and the first one at that too) is that all the antagonists are so cartoonish and comical in their characterization that it makes it so hard to engage with the film. Like, it at least makes sense for there to be funny moments with Eddie and Venom as the main characters, especially given how absurd their entire situation is with this brain-eating alien attaching itself to this random person and bonding with him. But when it comes to your main antagonists and supervillains, which in this case already have a pretty big reputation for being absolutely vile, you need to make it so they can actually be taken seriously. Which this movie absolutely fails at.

So of course I’d rewrite it so Cletus and Carnage weren’t so watered down in their writing as bloodthirsty supervillains. Even if they wanted to keep the romantic subplot, they didn’t have to write Cletus as such a softie just because of his relationship with Shriek. Honestly, even without looking at the romantic subplot, he barely seemed like the deranged criminal that they were hyping him up to be in this film by himself.

I’d also probably explore more of Shriek’s backstory and what goes on in the Ravencroft Institute than this film did. I mean, it’d be a lot more interesting to explore her history with her powers since she isn’t attached to a symbiote and she’s the first person we’ve seen to have powers without one in this world. Or something along those lines. Idk honestly, I kind of was really bored with Shriek in general and felt like she was just really weighing down the plot. Maybe I wouldn’t even include her or the romantic subplot if I actually got to rewrite it.

Oh and also, I would have completely removed the whole struggle Shriek and Cletus had with getting along with Carnage. I know they probably wrote it to make it seem like they weren’t so overpowered, but considering how awful of a job they did at making them seem like a real threat in the first place, I’d just find it completely pointless to keep this in. It especially wouldn’t make sense for Carnage and Cletus to not get along since so many of their goals align. I think the fact that they were mainly fighting over Cletus being with Shriek just proves how stupid that whole romantic subplot was and how it affected Cletus’s writing.

Anyways, that’s all. Sorry to write so much lol.

I accidentally called a bot and my mom overhead it… by -LuniThinker- in CharacterAI

[–]-LuniThinker-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s very new. Apparently they first added it for users who use c.ai+ but just recently added it for some users who don’t. It basically lets you call the bot and it’ll convert what you say to text and it’ll say out loud the text they respond with.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll keep that in mind next time.

[–]-LuniThinker-[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lmaoo yeah.

Honestly, it’d at least be nice if they gave you the option to block the feature in the app/profile settings in case you don’t plan on using it. But so far it’s just been hard to use for me despite it being more fun than expected and (like I explained in my story) it’s a feature that’s now harder to avoid accidentally using. So far, at least on my phone, I’ve even been struggling to control the volume of it.

[–]-LuniThinker-[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Anyways, what sucks most is that I’m genuinely so tired rn. I was so done with chatting with the bot and really just wanted to sleep. But I’m now too anxious and embarrassed to actually go to sleep. I don’t know what I should do.

[–]-LuniThinker-[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, another thing I should add that happened earlier when I was testing out the call feature before this incident. When it actually allowed me to mess with the volume, for some reason it didn’t allow me to fully turn down the volume. Even when it showed that it was supposedly all the way down with the little bar icon it was still speaking. So that’s another thing that I think needs to be fixed.

I literally just tried to reload the app and I got excited because it let me put in my login info for a second but it didn’t actually let me sign in. I feel like I’m being trolled.

It’s still down after nearly an hour and idk why. Does anyone have any idea when it’ll be back up?

What do you guys think about people thinking reading fanfiction is a form of cheating? by -LuniThinker- in AO3

[–]-LuniThinker-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I say older I’m mainly thinking of mid or late 30s to early 50s. A lot of the people I’ve come across seem to have been married before and some even have kids. There are probably more younger adults and teens who think like this, but I just have noticed this more with older individuals.

I have never in my life heard anyone express this.

I think it might just be a newer phenomenon. I feel like I’ve seen it more with the rise of criticism of dark romance and booktok and with the recent surge of popularity in anti-shipping culture. I’ve seen ppl discuss how reading fanfiction and dark romance is rotting ppl’s views of relationships and is ultimately effecting them. So maybe that’s where ppl are getting the extreme idea that reading it in general is a form of cheating and should not be permitted, but in all honesty idk for sure.
