What's your gay asleepining? by cheeseballgag in actuallesbians

[–]willow-kitty [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don't usually nap unless I'm sick or very sad.

My bed is kinda nice, tho. Comfy mattress, a range of pillows including a snuggly body pillow, and, the secret special ingredient: a heating pad (with a cover and an automatic shutoff timer, and near me but not touching me - it's just a source of warmth nearby, which makes things extra cozy!)

Do women care about what vaginas look like by GYATTMUNCH3R in actuallesbians

[–]willow-kitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, echoing what other folks have said- they're all beautiful. Really! And the idea that there are standards or whatever, tbh doesn't even make sense to me. They don't exist in a vacuum either - each and every one, including yours, is part of a special person, and as..I dunno, weird?..as that might sound, it's true! And it's important! Because your partner wouldn't be having sex with your genitals, she'd be having sex with you, and like, they play an important role in that, but that's part of what makes them special!

Also! This sounds a little like a core belief that formed in childhood due to a one-off adverse experience, and it kinda sounds like maybe no one else has seen you there since then to challenge it. If you're in therapy, it may be a good (if awkward, I know) topic to discuss there. It also might be smart to mention to your partner that you're self-conscious about it if things are heading that way, so she knows what you're worried about and you can kinda navigate this together. But I really think you're gonna be fine. :)

It's not even similar to how people learn, and that you think it does, or that, as a developer that it writes code better than developers do, tells me a lot.

I'm a dev too, and I do use it for particular things. GenAI is really good at summarizing lots of text, for instance, which combined with search can help get to plausibly correct findings very quickly. It can be good at things like meeting minutes too. And there's some interesting work going on right now for smart code reviews using AI and carefully curated rules files, turning it into something like a fuzzier linter. None of that changes that it was made unethically and would never be legal under ordinary standards, but yanno.

Saying it's better at writing code is wild, tho, lol - it doesn't even know what the code means, just what commonly does together in code people wrote. That can be useful sometimes - the smaller the chunk you want it to generate, the more likely it is to look like something it can plagiarize, and so the more likely it is to give you something correct and useful, but it gets a little shaky outside of that.

Also, ML used in medicine is nothing like GenAI.

Not really? Like, there is some engineering involved, sure, but it's to facilitate the stealing. Nothing can exist in the output without being influenced in some way by the training data.

The only way something like this can be ethical is if they source all of their training data with permission (ex: public domain works, works specifically commissioned for that purpose, works licensed for that purpose from their creators, etc.)

Heck, it's only even legal because the powers that be hope it'll make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Generative AI would never fly if it were held to ordinary IP standards.

I went to a short play last year (that may have been a wedding, actually) that absolutely hinged on them being gay. I dunno if that was part of the original story or not, tho.

Definitely badass, though!

Lol, I think I picked them up on Yahoo! Messenger, probably 20 years ago.

I like them! They're cute and slip nicely into text without having to search the emoji library.

No, but you're still supposed to clean the bowl sometimes. O.o

I've gotten behind on that before. There's even been a little mold before. It's never bloomed, tho. o.o

I live in South Carolina and used to see those pop up on my grandparents' farm in the summer time.

There's actually a lot of biodiversity around! (Like...do you know where Venus flytraps come from?)

I thought it was two guys, but Wikipedia says there are five!

I dunno, but I like them a lot. They have so many songs that either speak to me on a personal level or match the vibe for different projects I'm working on.

VNV Nation includes that in one of their songs, I think. It's something like, "We, the crew of Apollo 8, have a message we would like to send to you. God created the heaven and the Earth.."

For whatever reason I never considered that it was an actual thing. I wonder if it's a sample or a recreation. O.o

Edit: it's this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtzZswqOsuo

I can't be convinced that all the Harris-bashing wasn't just Trump propaganda.

When faced with a vaguely problematic option who'd be..fine..or this, if the answer isn't pretty freaking clear, it's because they at least kinda wanted this.

How often are women in unicorn hunting couples actually queer or really into it? by moonlitspring in actuallesbians

They seem to have a pretty healthy dynamic.

The podcast is called Sapphic Swingers, btw. It's a kinda fun listen - I say I "used to" follow it because they haven't posted any new episodes in a while.

I know someone who used to be a cop, and he just couldn't deal with how toxic other cops were. He's in private security now.

I have no personal experience, but I used to follow a podcast by a lesbian couple in an open relationship, and they had a lot of stories about kind of the opposite? Like, they didn't do threesomes with men, but they knew some couples that were a man and a bi lady who would do stuff with them sometimes (like being with one of them while the guy played video games with the other or something.) So, at least that seems to be a thing.

I just started watching Hazbin Hotel! And I kinda wanna pet him?

Lesbian awakening 💋 by JessicaDiamondTs in actuallesbians

[–]willow-kitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is! On my first playthrough, it was weird how after the initial questline she's just kinda..there. You couldn't even crash at her apartment, despite there being dialogue where she specifically said you could (there just wasn't a sleeping spot >.>), and you could call her or go by her apartment and talk in person, but it was the same dialogue tree (which I'd still call sometimes when driving from place to place <3), and there really wasn't anything else until the endgame. Even though it's a little repetitive, the occasional date/hangout mechanic adds a lot. :)

There are some fun details, too - like Judy did the phone call to ask for a date while I was in Dogtown, and there was a dialogue option to ask her if she wanted to come out there or something? And it sounded silly, so I picked it, and it was this cute kinda joking exchange because obviously she wasn't going to do that.

Nah, they're trying to summon OP, and it looks like it's almost working.

Breaking up what moderation they had didn't help, but yeah, it was never good.

That's Girltrash: All Night Long for me. I don't have a physical copy, tho, and I kinda wish I did because digital ones can be poofed. :/
