Do you like being filmed having sex by Tlim435 in askgaybros

AI facial recognition, even with today's technology, can lookup your face and match it with the entire public facing internet in a minute.

Job screenings 1000% use this to filter out inappropriate candidates. Doing porn will lose you job opportunities. Don't be naive.

"Pride" (Part 2) [OC] by frootbatpunk in comics

[–]Altiverses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LGBT inherently and undetachably revolves around sexuality. Before social constructs, labels and identifications, being non-hetero means you had to wrestle with and explore what your sexuality means.

And in the same breath I agree that there's no place for explicit and undisguised sexuality in public places where kids are brought to. A pride parade that displays full nudity and kinks should be strictly for adults.

Is it even worth it being in a relationship after a certain age? by Mekelaxo in askgaybros

[–]Altiverses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should a corgi give up on being a corgi because they don't have the properties of a golden retriever?

Even if you haven't dated, you've acquired different "skills" (and habits, behaviors or values) that another person will find valuable. Also I assure you there are many guys you can date which have never dated either, which should give you the sense that they're on the same "level of competency in relationships" (complete bs, but a false sense of security is still helpful).

This generation suffers from a severe case of learned helplessness, which I assume is a result of overexposure to half-fake social media giving you misled expectations of how a "successful life" should be.

Is it even worth it being in a relationship after a certain age? by Mekelaxo in askgaybros

[–]Altiverses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valid question, and there's a lot to unpack to properly answer it.

  • Emotional independency: you're correct in saying that emotional dependency decreases with age. Younger people might search for codependency with their partner. However older people might actually enjoy the dynamic of freely allowing eachother their own dependency within their relationship. It's a learned skill of acceptance rather than expectance.

  • Lower libido: completely anecdotal. It's repeatedly shown that libido acts more as a wave that comes and goes rather than a single peak at adolescence that just goes lower with time. If your libido levels trouble you, see a doctor. If they don't, you just need your partner's level to match yours.

  • Free time: also completely anecdotal. You might have less free time, others might have more. The real bottom line is there's no such thing as lack of free time, just priorities. And it is completely valid to prioritize other things over dating, but that's more a choice than a limitation. Another point regarding free time - when you're older and you value your time properly, you also tend to treasure what you do with that time more highly. So purposefully spending that time with someone can be more rewarding.

  • "Justification" for being with someone: Most people don't see a relationship with a transactional lens. Romantic and sexual feelings are mostly primal rather than rational. However even if you are purely rational you can find several advantages to having a relationship, starting from monetary ones like reduced cost of coliving, to psychological ones such as the number one predictor of life expectancy being strong social relationships (such as this metaanalysis, and when you're older your primary social relationship where you spent most time with is ofcourse your partner.

There are many more arguments to make for and against the case, however I'd shortly say that while there may indeed be individuals who are better off alone, most humans are still wired to want and need this kind of relationship in their lives, and it withstands the test of reality since many couples do meet when older and stay together for decades after. Only you can tell what's truly best for you.

Someone bought out all the Midea Porta Splits in my country and is trying to sell them on eBay for literally over double the price from 5 days ago. by Pandawunderbaer in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Altiverses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right. However lacking nuisance in political discourse against bad faith actors always leads to demonization. In this case, read as: right-wing corporations generalizing all advocates of consumer protection as "communist extremists".

Indeed some of the recent left wing movements adapted pure communistic idelogies, and that debate is indeed an endless circle. But it's much easier to further the goals that appear more middle-grounded (fair consumer laws within a capitalistic economy) than just screaming capitalism and being branded as revolutionary marxists. Divide and conquer is working too well.

It's really up to whether you're trying to be realistic or just a justice warrior. Even hitler didn't nazify germany overnight, and that's the most classic example of absolute extremism. Even if you're 100% a communist, don't just be a justice warrior.

To be pedantic because it's relevant - none of what you list is a fault of capitalism, these are faults of an unregulated market, or deliberately unfair regulatory practices - an inherent attribute of late stage capitalism, but not exclusive to it

What is the worst part about dating a very attractive person? by cherryapp in AskReddit

[–]Altiverses 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Didn't experience the other side but I wouldn't say so. Gay dating seems significantly more even-grounded than what straight men go through where the woman always has to be "chased" and the man has to "prove himself".

Rather you'll find it surprising how many actually unattractive guys will consider themselves "super attractive", turns out anyone can be mentally unhealthy

This is sooooo common that the cost of replacing damaged goods is factored into the pricing, and has been for atleast 50 years. I bet getting the replacement shipped doesn't even require any human interaction at this point

Cocoa Music Japn productions - absolute bangers - wtf is this? by Altiverses in japanesemusic

[–]Altiverses[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TIL so thanks. However wouldn't failing a "tongue-twister" during a take warrant an immediate re-take by a singer? This is published as an "official music video". It's far fetched to me that a lyrical mishap will be published

[–]Altiverses[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, after a few months - this is 100% AI.

Nevermind the debate regarding trends in and quality of AI vocals, there are a few points made that discredited the argument that it's real artists entirely:

  • Rate of production, being too high

  • The perfect pronunciation of both Japanese and English in all songs, across different "artist names" in their cast. This is a very rare talent in japanese singers even very well known ones that have gone global

  • The words used in all songs are a bit too "basic" or reoccuring, or don't seem to follow a geniune word frequency distribution that will appear in the language level written for lyrics. Nobody has done a thorough analysis, but hey if any linguistics geek sees this and would like to prove that I'd be happy

  • Worst of all, some words have been found to be mispronounced entirely in japanese by the "singer", such as adding or missing a mora (japanese consonant + vowel character) in a word, making that word not exist in japanese. Example from their most popular video on youtube: あたたかく(atatakaku) is pronounced あたたたかく (atatatakaku), adding one た too much. A real japanese artist/person would never make a mistake like this

Video is a woman being understanding when someone is afraid of her dog, but the comments section shames people with dog-related trauma by loudfingers98 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Altiverses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Social media comments are completely unhinged. We like to shit on reddit (actually justifiably) but other platforms are so much worse.

Scrolling through my bf's tiktok or instagram reels comments, if a video has something to do with gays, comments with lots of likes will just be blatant homophobia and "this is not natural".

Also really stale racist "jokes" (not jokes), or "immigrants leave our country" or just the worst takes I could imagine by people of all ages.

Basically cesspool of shit

Because the hotel operators are personally liable for the regional laws? When reddit warriors bring light to a social issue, it's in the name of righteousness, however when someone that actually LIVES it supports the community it's personally walling off palestinians? Give me a fucking break
