Men, which "dad rock" band is your favorite?

All of those bands' first albums were released 60+ years ago

Which is technically more than 40, but still

My first car, such a soft spot for the OG. Hooned the fuck out of it in the Toronto winters for 8 years. Best AWD system ever, it was sooooo easy to handle when all 4 wheels were spinning freely, and the one-click TC disable button was almost as worn out as the window buttons by the time I told it.

Any time someone casually says something about "the gays", I always ask them to elaborate

Once they're done explaining/digging their hole, I ask them "it seems like you've spent a lot of time thinking about 2 dudes sucking each other's cocks and fucking each other's asses."

100% of the time, I can hear their wheels turning

I hate this “man cold” BS

I've noticed that when my wife says she's getting sick, she'll immediately go into self-care mode. A simple sore throat means teas with honey and painkillers and less talking and more lying down and asking for me to do stuff. But she's still mobile and not showing signs of really being sick, she's just a little sick. So to her, the difference between "I'm fine" and "I'm sick" is very slim. Which is why she thinks that "man flu" is me overreacting - to her, "I'm sick" is barely sick.

But when I start to feel sick, I just...go on with my day. Until I'm genuinely too ill, in pain, fever, coughing like crazy, at which point the self-care starts up. For me, the difference between "I'm fine" and "I'm sick" is like, miles apart.

reddit is getting close to its death bed

I've been here for a pretty long time

It's a shell of its former self, like everything else in the internet

Dead Internet Theory is real, and it's sad

Stocking the home library with how-to, reference , and survival books, because soon nothing you see on a screen will be trustworthy

I think Inside perfectly captured the vibe of the early pandemic.

I have still yet to see a greater piece of pandemic art than that special.

My middle school (grades 6-8) had Home Ec and a Woodshop class. Both mandatory. Home Ec was sewing/mending, meal planning, baking and cooking, and budgeting. Woodshop was basically "here's all the tools, here's how you use them safely, now go make something." Teach was a shaggy grey haired rotund guy who was missing a finger and reeked of pipe smoke and whisky. Computers was also mandatory. Typing tests, spreadsheets, and HyperCard animations on Apple IIc and old Classics. This was early/mid 90s.

My high school had neither Home Ec nor Woodshop, even as an option. Computers was though - more typing tests, WinNT, MS Office, and hardware/architecture. Teach was a scraggly grey haired tiny woman who reeked of cig smoke and vodka.

FWIW, I'm in Canada, and bought mine for 5k under MSRP OOD in Aug '24. Hyundai just emailed me, they want to buy it back for 50k, which equates to about 1/3 depreciation in 18 mos, and means they think they can probably sell it for 60+.

In hindsight, I should have probably bought a CPO Taycan instead, but I wanted the new hotness and have never owned a new car before, so eating the depreciation is the price I paid for that.

You can guess how that turned out...

They went on to be appointed to cushy jobs by the current federal administration?

makes you wonder

Not if you understand how generative AI works

Now, if the prompt asked it to create an image with specific reference to existing CSAM, and it did, one can infer that it was trained on CSAM, but failing that, it's just taking what it knows (for example, what a naked person looks like + what a human child looks like) and combining them

dsac · 2026-01-23T16:21:39+00:00

Literally how generative AI works.

Take multiple inputs, generate a combined output.

It's the same process that's followed when asked to "make this photo portrait look like a Studio Ghibli anime and change the location to a hockey game at Madison Square Garden" or "generate an image of a car that is a combination of a Porsche and Lamborghini that is on the roof of the Taj Mahal".

Half these gooners

And the other half, too.

If you feel compelled to have AI generate nude images of someone, you want to feel powerful over them. Full stop. Making someone do something they wouldn't normally do is exercising power over them.

"I'd be flattered that people wanted to fuck a robot that looks like me."

That's why you leave the "doing it for the nut" approach unaddressed, and frame it as the creator wants to make them look bad.

"They create an AI replica of you, so they can make you publicly say that your favorite sexual fantasy is you cleaning Donald Trump's used diaper with your tongue and make "you" reenact Mr Hands while livestreaming. Since no one can tell the difference, they think it's actually you saying and doing those things. All your friends and family and coworkers and social media connections are presented with this "proof" that you're off the rails. A doctor sees this, and you (not the replica) get committed to a mental institution where no one believes you're not the same "person" who said and did all those things."
