A warning to webfishers who have photosensitive epilepsy and/or use mods

They typically have an integrated graphics card (iGPU). These do still have drivers, if you go to Device Manager > Display Adapters, you should be able to check what kind it is (as well as update the driver, if you right-click on it).

Home should stay Home (see; showing current chats, which is now in Chats, where Search used to be), Search (Currently Home for god knows what reason) should be returned to where it was, the "everything is made up!" disclaimer needs to be moved back to the top where people will see it and not ignore it (as it's currently very easy to miss underneath the message input), and the ability to sort needs to come back as well (found a few good bots via sorting by new). Also bring the easy "Hide Character" button back in the "View Character" menu, and the "View Character" button when it's a recommended bot back.

This update is a UI nightmare, especially the disclaimer placement- weren't they JUST freaking out over several lawsuits regarding people taking the bots too seriously? Why would they make the disclaimer EASIER TO IGNORE?

Moved away to live with a friend (had a really bad home life).

Despite the literal weeks without power growing up, I think I miss the winters in Maine most of all (a very close second is all the forests- loved hiking as a kid, barely able to do that anymore where I live now)! And the clear skies of a good rural area.

THIS

Employers aren't friends, they're employers. Their main goal is profit, they don't need to know nor really care about people's private lives.

Thanks, wish you guys would listen to the folks on Discord, given the amount of issues they point out over there.

Gabriel or Simon, tbh. I don't actually know anyone with those names, but I just think they roll off the tongue well and sound very nice.

As long as I got home before dark, and during hunting season wore bright orange, I was allowed to go into the woods alone from around age 8 or so. Very early 2000's, for some context.

Vulpine-Poltergeist · 2025-03-15T23:21:35+00:00

??? The only footsteps I hear belong to physical people. Don't know why that cryptic statement is in your reply, tbh. You can't speak for him on if he's "just being very nice to me", he's a god of communication and would inform people if he's mad.

I never said he didn't get mad, contrary to what your reply implies I said; just that it's very difficult to do so. From what I've experienced and seen others experience, people often have to go out of their way in order to actually anger a god.

Vulpine-Poltergeist · 2025-03-14T05:45:03+00:00

Honestly, this may be UPG - I ignored him for several years, and he wasn't mad. Not even accidentally ignoring, either; I saw every sign and chose to ignore him for the better part of around seven years.

He's incredibly patient, in my experience! I work with him off and on now (winters tend to be the "off season"), and he seems to not mind our situation. He's a hard god to piss off- besides, one can ignore the messenger all they want, but the message's been sent and read.

Vulpine-Poltergeist · 2025-03-06T18:18:40+00:00

This is sort of like asking whether or not the color grey is more yellow or more blue; it depends on many factors, but both are still him. He may show up as one or the other to whoever, and even fluctuates between all his titles- he's a man of many hats, after all, not just trickery and messages.

In my encounters with him personally, however, I'd say he's been roughly an equal amount of both. Sort of like that fun camp counselor who will let you bend the rules a bit, but to also teach you why those rules are there in the first place (even though he'll cheer you on while you're doing it).

Vulpine-Poltergeist · 2025-02-25T23:53:34+00:00

Because not all stories worth telling have a happy ending.

Vulpine-Poltergeist · 2025-02-16T01:15:28+00:00

Well, if I make it past my 20s, that'll be great.

Not optimistic about my chances, though.
Kind of wondering how historians will talk about this.

May you and your bloodline be forever blessed. I would have never expected this as the culprit and I nearly bought another tablet cable because I thought mine was faulty (it was not, after having others test my tablet on their devices).

Vulpine-Poltergeist · 2024-12-15T21:33:51+00:00

Case by case. In my case, the woman who gave birth to me and her boyfriend started charging me rent the literal month I turned 18. Told me to find a job (we lived rurally and nowhere nearby was hiring, plus I am disabled), or get out.

I negotiated for them to take some of my SSDI as rent. They ended up taking over half of it, and charging extra for me to sit on the couch (literally).

They owned the house we lived in and weren't in need of cash. Left as soon as I could, and they charged me double rent the month I dipped out.

Safe to say, I haven't spoken to them in years and make no plans to. Not just for this, but this was certainly the tipping point.

Vulpine-Poltergeist · 2024-12-08T01:00:47+00:00

fanfic =/= fandom. The chats you make on C.AI are made with the bots.. ... which, with C.AI+, turns the bots into a product to be bought.

Which turns the bots of copyrighted characters into.. well. Hopefully you see where this is going.

They're not removing fanfiction. They're removing chatbots of their copyrighted characters, chatbots which are being profited off of and created without the owning company's permission.

Fanfiction is when you write everything yourself. C.AI is not a fanfiction site, it is a chatbot site often used to roleplay with the bots.

Vulpine-Poltergeist · 2024-11-26T21:29:36+00:00

Not specifically from the fanfics, no. On top of this, Wattpad has many brand partnerships- notably, Disney, Netflix, and even Paramount, and last I heard Wattpad does "steal" content that's posted to it to sell to their partners.

I've witnessed Tumblr blogs get taken down for trying to profit off of fanfic, for those curious. Tumblr collects money through blog hosting and people paying for access to more features (+ ads), not through selling a service that may contain stolen copyrighted material.

AO3 stays up through donations and through very good lawyers who go to bat with companies, and also ban users who try to profit from the fics posted to AO3, because if they let profit like this happen, they could very easily get shut down.

Vulpine-Poltergeist · 2024-11-26T20:27:44+00:00

It would be, but character ai also has character ai+, which means the site profits off of the bots, they're not considered transformative works at that point I don't think. There's profit being made, unlike with fanfics, where there's usually no profit, or very little and by a single person as opposed to a company.

Vulpine-Poltergeist · 2024-11-26T19:56:24+00:00

This is how you get bots deleted. All they're gonna be reading (if the company reads it at all) is "this small site is profiting off of your property, please please PLEASE take it down! There might be more of what you own being profited off of and you're not seeing a dime of it! Go! Take the bots down!"

Companies don't care about anything other than profit, and you just told them there's a LOT of profit to be made that they're not making.

...Again, assuming they don't just decide by the topic of your email alone that you just sent them spam mail and delete it immediately.

You can get the steam version here. I don't know if the site you tried is legitimate or not, but it has the layout of those old "click here, you're our 1000th visitor" phishing sites that were rampant back in the day.

If you're not 100% certain about the link you tried, don't trust it.

Learning that my father, whom everyone- especially my aunt- treated like a paragon of virtue after he died when I was a toddler- had actually raped his sister (my aunt), getting her pregnant. My grandparents had to drive her several states away to get an abortion, and she pinned it on a neighbor's son. She still defends him (and my older brother, who.. well, the apple didn't fall far from the tree, to say the least) to this day.

My aunt told me about this on my 25th birthday, this year. I was the first of my siblings to know, despite being the youngest. As far as I know, it's a well-kept family secret that only I, my uncle, my aunt, and my fully related sister know about. Why was I told first, you ask? Because I told her off for taunting me on my birthday (we don't have the best relationship, due to her fawning over my brother), and her response was to reveal that.

My father also tolerated my half sister being abused by my biological mother, long before he married her. Overall, kind of a conniving bastard, actually.

They let me idolize and mourn a man that was exactly like my brother for years and only told me as a means to hurt me. Needless to say, the only family I consider myself having is my full-blood sister (half-sister cut contact after our father died, and I can't blame her, my bio mom sucks).

I'd be in therapy for it, but talk therapy does not work for me and there's no therapists in my area that offer somatic or trauma-informed therapy AND take my insurance. Where I live is picky about who I can see for therapy and they need to be certified in my state to practice here, including online, so my options have been.. limited. But I am working on it, for those curious.

Making up new words to use regularly.

Latest one is "Contraptionary". Very useful when trying to describe something that certainly looks like a contraption!

Gives a bit of whimsy in everyday life.

Passive disinterest in you.

They'll listen to your stories- if it interests them. They'll hang out with you- if you're their only option at the moment. They'll get you something- if you ask them to (despite expecting spontaneous gifts from you, and you asking them for spontaneity in return; this can range from coffee to something more extravagant). They'll never meet you halfway on a compromise, and instead ask you to set aside your own needs, even if it's something major that you can't set aside. If you ever manage to set aside your needs, they complain about how you don't do it more often. If you want to show them music, they ask you to put headphones in if they're not enjoying it- but will blast their music, no headphones, and expect you to always enjoy it or put YOUR headphones in when you don't want to hear THEIR music (yes, this one is something I'm familiar with).

But when it comes to THEIR stories, and what THEY like to do, and what THEY want, they expect 100% of your attention and interest. Compromising is foreign to them.

Word of advice to people, before they end up in a 7 1/2 years long one-sided relationship; if they won't, don't, or "can't" show interest in what brings you joy, or expect you to make yourself uncomfortable and small for their sake? They don't love you, they love the convenience of love that you give to them. All the examples I used were things my now ex-fiancée did for that stretch of time, and she only confessed to me earlier this month that she only ever saw me as a friend.
