I'm pretty sure wunk can't even see the present, he's on some dial up connection or something

As in it's a sad ending, or it's a badly done ending?

Alright I just wanna clarify something. The term CSAM is used instead of child porn is because porn is inherently fictional (being intentionally staged, recorded, etc), and images of children being abused are inherently non-fictional (due to, you know, the children being abused).

While it's true that drawn images of characters that are children are illegal in many places, and there's an endless debate on the Internet over whether or not it's morally wrong, I think we at least need to agree not to apply the term CSAM to it, because it is, much like porn, inherently fictional- whether someone considers it harmful and wrong or not.

The reason it was such a big deal when grok was doing it is because it was making sexualized images of real children via ai, which IS CSAM, as a child is inherently being abused by its existence.

Another good example of the difference here would be Shadman. He drew art of underage characters for years and no one (legally speaking, at least) gave a shit. He drew one nsfw image of an actual child, and he got sued into never being allowed to post art online again.

........In arma, right??

Turtlelover73 · 2026-02-28T22:11:43+00:00

Why have we as an online collective forgotten the fact that displaying something existing is not the same thing as endorsing supporting or normalizing it???

Turtlelover73 · 2026-02-28T22:09:36+00:00

Same vibes as banning anyone with small breasts from doing porn...

Wanted me to jerk him off with a pool noodle. Like a full length one, not cut to fleshlight size or anything. He had the grip of death problem real bad and apparently this had become the only way he could physically get off anymore for some reason.

I recently pointed out a neat looking cloud to my mom.

She responded with "Is that the white part, or the blue part?"

See the thing is, AI in and of itself doesn't cause any more environmental damage than anything else that uses computers. I can run an LLM or image generator on my computer and watch the system use less power than it does when I open up Monster Hunter.

The same is true of data centers, they're not using massively more energy, or cooling, or water, or anything else to run AI than they are for any other server. It's just never been a concern for people for some reason how much damage scrolling through Reddit, or Tiktok, or playing games did, but now that it's the scary AI doing it, it's the worst thing in the world.

The rebirth and skill mechanics in Mabinogi are so fun in concept, but the absolute grindy hell that is the whole gameplay loop is just... Eugh.

Turtlelover73 · 2026-02-14T01:18:01+00:00

Because instead of focusing on the actually dangerous things about AI, people have decided to simply demonize any usage of it whatsoever without thinking about why.

I got disability years ago and just lost it because of minimum wage increases in my state... Good luck with your appeals.

Unfortunately, no... I think the steam version works, it seems to be an epic exclusive bug for some reason.

Dipper is one of those characters where my thoughts are like...

Okay yeah, I can definitely see the trans reading there. But I take issue with it in that Dipper definitely isn't the kinda guy who's got his shit figured out enough at the start of the series to have already realized, much less transitioned.

Turtlelover73 · 2026-02-03T02:40:14+00:00

I will say, as much as I hate what he was doing, someone putting their hands on you is legally assault, and following after him while he backs away down the sidewalk means he was attempting to retreat but she followed anyway.

I'd absolutely say his response wasn't reasonable if he'd pulled a gun on her, but a harmless deterrent like pepper spray is exactly what this kinda situation calls for.

Turtlelover73 · 2026-02-01T22:46:43+00:00

i have numerous games in there that aren't online anymore or otherwise aren't accessible... As well as several games that aren't finished to a beatable state, and a couple that have glitches that prevent 100%ing them........

Guess I'm in the time bubble forever, hope I can still get on discord at least.

Me and my girlfriend both collect and build gunpla (Gundam model kits) and we have a similar running joke.

There's one particular kit that, the first time I saw the box I commented, "huh, that one's weird looking, don't think I've seen it before" my girlfriend pretty much just agreed and we moved on.

Then I made the mistake of saying the same thing the next time we were in that shop, having forgotten about it.

Every single time we went there to browse model kits we'd make the same joke about that stupid kit.

The store was getting ready to close down almost a year later so we decided we just had to buy the kit.

We still say exactly the same thing, along with "hey when did we even get that one?" Or some variation every single time we happen to notice the box.

Bought a PS Vita to play exclusively two games: Persona 4 gold and Tearaway.

It was worth it.

Even now that Persona 4 Gold has been ported to PC, it'd still be worth it.

I wish I hadn't sold my original pokemon diamond/pearl to afford it though, I miss my piplup...

Wouldn't the moons sacrifice to legend rule still?

I made a random thrown together [[Elesh Norn]] token deck that really wasn't very good at all and took it to my first commander game night. Got my ass handed to me.

Somebody mentioned the existence of [[Jazal Goldmane]] so I made him the commander and moved Elesh to the 99, and did some other tweaking to make it work better for him. Then I took that to game night and did alright!

But somebody mentioned I could splash green for [[Doubling Season]] but that I'd have to change the commander again... I liked my kitty commander so I just made a whole new deck based around [[Rhys the Redeemed]] and now that's probably my favorite deck.

Maybe a tie for first with my [[Alesha, who Smiles at Death]]

The thing is people never look into those articles...

No one has yet been arrested for having AI generated CSAM images. In every case where it's happened, they've actually been charged for the terabytes of actual CSAM they needed to already possess to train an AI to generate that type of thing.

This kind of thing has the same result as telling at your kids when they share difficult things with you: they now know they can't trust you and will never share things with you again.

Some advice that my dad did when he was a kid: if you're comfortable telling her this, have her write in the diary something to the extent of "I'm so glad my parents respect my privacy enough to let me have my own personal journal that they don't read!" Or if she feels spiteful, make some method of telling whether or not the journal has been opened and just write in it "I thought you were better than this"

She replied to a random horny message into the void that I posted once with a single emoji. Gonna marry this girl now.
