Me, seeing the raised hair on the arm: “Oh, this must be about calculating the odds of being struck by lightning.”

Reading the comments about tan lines: “Oh…”

Laziness is the way of nature. However, we are rebels, diligently working against our nature.

Arise! Allow no master to control your fate and grasp the means of production!

If we place a tracker on any random person, their route will probably draw them in bed, munching on snacks or splayed on the floor, tired and unwilling to move.

I agree that even if the continent turns into a nuclear wasteland, there will still be people shouting this kind of thing pointlessly into the void.

There’s a thing that was happening in the past. Not sure it’s still happening, due to lack of news about it. It was something called “glamour modeling” I think or an extension of it.

Basically, official/legal photography studios took pictures of child models in swimsuits and revealing clothing, at times in suggestive positions and sold them to interested parties.

Nothing untoward directly happened to the children. They weren’t physically abused. They were treated as regular fashion models. And yet, it’s still csam. Why? Because of the intention behind making those pictures.

The intention to exploit.

I don’t know personally. The admins of the fediverse likely do, considering it’s something they’ve had to deal with from the start. So, they can likely answer much better than I might be able to.

Schools generally means it involves underage individuals, which makes any content using them csam. So in effect, the “AI” companies are generating a ton of csam and nobody is doing anything about it.

China still has the “lots of restless young men” problem, so they may be trying to placate the issue by way of diversionary tactics.

Still it’s something they created on their own, at the expense of women and now shockingly (not) blame women as well.

Truly idiotic leadership everywhere.

The Y2K was a different kind of virus, a virus of the mind.

I’d rather use that dollar and buy an older game i haven’t played than spend it on pretty skins.

Yeah, but I’m cheaper so I only paid for the mass produced version. No movie bullet holes for me I’m afraid…

Oh so many.

Divinity: Dragon Commander, duh.

He wants that pink eye.

I believe in 5 years, we’ll be able to sculpt wheels out of stone.

Well, I bought RoboCop.

That’s pretty much the norm on the first day.

I’ll start looking tomorrow and compare all the offers.

Yeah, I lose a day being on low energy every time it happens. But the subconscious dreams what it wants, regardless of an attempt to influence. We can give a scenario through our activities before going to sleep, but they tend to stretch out on their own even so.

There are many kinds of dreams, each with a different sensation.

• There’s vivid nightmares which leave you in a state of panic, often unable to go back to sleep due to a hyper focus on every little sound and touch.
• There’s action dreams which give you an adrenaline rush and a state of random anger.
• There’s emotional dreams which leave you as an empty shell, crying or full of longing for something out of reach.
• There’s horny dreams which leave a puddle in your bed.
• And there’s also happy dreams which fill you up with joy and leave you refreshed and full of love for life.

Of course there’s also the forgotten dreams which can be anything, but don’t really matter to you because you can’t remember having them. But they often leave behind the feeling you’re supposed to be doing something, which can drive you crazy during the day.

This reminds me of that one time when a couple of storks built themselves a nest atop a regular electric pole and while they were out hunting, a random summer storm passed over and lightning struck the pole.

I was like “WTH nature!?”. Then the storks came back and they were like “Hmm, something seems different… Need more straws.” They rebuilt and a couple of months later i was able to see live a reenactment of the “This is Sparta!” movie scene. And again I was like “WTH nature!?”.
