@theenigma9900 @kittyrexie @normalmaxxedaj Whatever you say
If you're mentally gooning and then getting mad at a man for physically gooning then just seems like cope and hypocritical.

@0Gunt0 @kittyrexie @normalmaxxedaj Reading a book ≠ fantasizing, masturbating, or lusting.
Porn and romance novels are not equivalent. Erotica, sure. But not all romance novels are erotica.
English
I’m learning that many straight women really do just want their boyfriends to lie to them constantly. They don’t want honest, vulnerable admissions of desire & predilections, they want to be deceived & manipulated because they prefer the egotistical fantasy that their man only ever thinks sexually about them as opposed to actual intimacy. It’s very childish, actually. Teenage girl mentality
alexis@imheretolurk13
I love that more and more women are calling out their boyfriends for watching that misogynistic trash 🙂↕️
English
@shimmeress @kittyrexie @normalmaxxedaj For sure, if that's the standard set both parties should be held to it. All the desire and energy reserved for one another
English
@0Gunt0 @kittyrexie @normalmaxxedaj ..? women touch themselves to erotica and romance novels..... however a large majority of women dont consume those things, whereas most men watch porn, which is sad imo. like just have sex with people. same for the women. why get off to others doing it. do it urself
English
@theenigma9900 @kittyrexie @normalmaxxedaj The spirit of the rule is not fantasizing, masturbating or lusting over another and reserving that desire for your partner exclusively.
If you can't walk the walk then don't expect your other to do the same
English
@0Gunt0 @kittyrexie @normalmaxxedaj Did you…actually just try to compare…a woman reading a romance novel to a man jacking off to porn???
If masturbation isn’t involved then it’s obviously NOT the same thing as a man jacking off to porn.
I swear I lose brain cells just from reading dumb ass takes like this
English
@kittyrexie @normalmaxxedaj Absolutely are, if they follow the SPIRIT of the rule
Women will still consume erotica, romance novels, thirst over celebs, etc but somehow it doesn't count cause masturbation isn't involved. It's self serving logic to the women doing this, but unfair to the male counterpart
English
@normalmaxxedaj genuine question for you, if a woman does not watch porn within a relationship, how is it an unreasonable expectation of her partner? if there is clear communication and she holds herself to the same standard, why is she not allowed to want a partner who doesnt watch porn?

@hecubian_devil Ultimately regulation is gonna come from industry.
Randos on twitter won't be able to slop together bootleg Pixar work w/o getting sued, but Pixar will definitely be making their own slop with the tech
There will be no containment other than not being able to slop a corps style
English
Yes, this is slop—in part because the person making seems tasteless, dull, and infatuated with the tech itself rather than narrative art—but video gen is clearly close to *commercial viability* in the right hands. Especially for kids’ content, since they’re undiscerning.
This is why I’ve been agitating for a leftist AI skeptical response bigger than “it’s slop, it sucks, it’s fake, it’s bad.” Because it has been getting vastly more capable, and is rapidly approaching the point at which *enough* people will be willing to pay for it—even if YOU don’t, even if LOTS OF US don’t—that it will entrench. Right now, we call it slop and get a lot of positive feedback and feel superior and good and like we are leading the majority.
Give it two years and people will be parking their kids in front of AI-generated children’s shows without a second thought. They’ll be getting mad at you for calling it slop, because they’ll feel impugned as parents. Other people will be getting mad because they have AI “friends,” or they’ve gotten addicted to using it at work or school to take shortcuts. It feels so good right now to shit on AI on the basis of its capabilities, but that is clearly *time-limited* and ultimately a failing strategy to contain and regulate AI. we have got to come up with something better, stronger.

The quality of animation you can create on your own is truly amazing. We really are just limited by our imaginations at this point. Go tell your story! Made in @runwayml in a few hours and a handful of gens.

@Noahpinion This is exactly why fines, taxes, financial penalties should be on a percentage system, not flat rate amounts.

A 37-year-old Seattle man allegedly threw a rock at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal in Maui and when confronted allegedly said “I don’t care, I’m rich. Fine me with whatever you want. I can pay for it.” He was detained and the case has been referred to federal investigators

@JoinCrowdHealth @CTrefugees They're really not. People pretend contracts, policies, etc are these cleverly crafted documents that only demons can decipher.
Just read it. And if you have questions, google it or ask a third party. No one is holding a gun to peeps head to sign these documents
English
@CTrefugees The problem is you can’t read the policies. They are 100 page documents full of legal jargon that nobody, but a lawyer can understand.
English
Listen I feel for people who get in a situation like this, but insurance is a financial instrument and you need to understand what kind of coverage you're paying for. Like just because you paid for this thing and then you had some stupid idea that you got from God knows where about what insurance is supposed to do does not mean that that is the instrument you're paying for. If I pay for mandatory minimum state auto insurance and then somebody sues me for 10 times the maximum payout The insurance company does not owe me 10 times more money because it's called insurance. This isn't some kind of legal trick the insurance pulled. These are basic things about policies. You don't read the things you sign up for it and then you mad that you don't even understand the basics of the instrument.
MatrixMysteries@MatrixMysteries
A woman loses her home in a fire. She asks insurance to rebuild the SAME home—no upgrades, no expansion. Insurance says NO. Her policy only covers what the house USED to cost. After years of paying premiums, she finds out the “coverage” disappears when she actually needs it.

@GnySgtKabar >New Halo Game comes out
>No identity, follows the latest trendy slop
>Lacks features that existed decade prior
>Takes multiple years to be content complete
>No one playing
>Haters are the reason the franchise is dead
English
The game isn't flawless, but you can't tell me that years of "halo infinite is dead" videos didn't convince alot of people to drop the game prematurely. To this day I still come across people who don't know that they added a bunch of modes like firefight
ˢʰʸ@QuiteShallow
Genuine non ragebait question, can someone give me legitimate examples of amazing games being unfairly defamed by influences and failing to sell, and opposite, absolutely awful games being praised by biased content creators and massively succeeding?

so we're celebrating artificial intelligence being used now

Kane Parsons has revealed that Blender played an integral part in developing the ‘BACKROOMS’ movie. • Concept art was developed entirely in Blender • Blender was used to make set designs before they were brought to life physically

@SwannMarcus89 What meaningful contribution is there in celebrity voice acting that VAs within the industry couldn't?
I think one of the largest corps to ever exist can afford to fund and staff plenty of people to animate the show on an annual basis. Don't forget to let Bezo's spit on it
English
It’s funny how there are all these hyberbolic YouTube videos about how bad Invincible’s animation is and people are always whining about how they spent all the budget on voice actors instead of animation but it’s clearly one of the best American animated shows ever according to both audiences and critics
Doesn’t this kind of imply “animation quality” doesn’t matter to anyone other than total nerds and animated shows are better off spending their money on writing talent and voice actors instead of top notch animation?

Halo Studios is reportedly ditching battle royale for an extraction shooter — tighter matches, bigger stakes, and more teamwork. I’d be open to that if it leans into social play like ARC Raiders👇 windowscentral.com/gaming/halo/pe…

@henkel_jen @cturnbull1968 When it's nations jousting their reputation and status with their Olympians, no, it is no longer just sports.
Politics is life, both in civilized and uncivilized society whether or not we'd like it to be
English
@0Gunt0 @cturnbull1968 Gunt? Can’t it just be about the sport and the competition for these athletes?
(We are currently discussing the MAN who won a woman’s GOLD in Paris ‘24 boxing. I loathed that as well. Ok)?
Let sports be sports!
English
These athletes are proud of our flag and country.
They were asked for their opinions on the policies of this administration and they gave honest answers.
If you associate love of country with party affiliation then you’re the one that misunderstands the meaning of patriotism.
Emily Austin@Emilyaustin
Any athlete embarrassed to represent the United States has no business wearing Team USA across their chest. Representing this country is an honor. If you don’t love America, step aside, someone who does will gladly take your place.
English
@henkel_jen @cturnbull1968 Those questions or any questions about the state of your nation when one of the key pillars of the event is representing your nation is fair game.
The idea these events should be a-political is immature, they are literally one of the best places where discussion takes hold
English
@cturnbull1968 Turnbull, genuinely curious, what if a reporter asked a UK athlete about the Paki-Muslim rape gangs? A French athlete about the increasing attacks on Paris? Mass migration into both countries?
Olympics SHOULD be a-political.
Compete, ok?

What was the goal of J6? To prevent or change the outcome of an election
To be biased is to be unfair. In which way am I being unfair
English
@0Gunt0 @krassenstein @MattWalshBlog How did Alex find the officers?
Ashley Babbitt was not an insurrectionist because J6 was not an insurrection it was a protest that turned violent just like hundreds of protests have before.
You dehumanize one but elevate another that’s called bias.
English
We now know that Alex Pretti was a violent agitator who repeatedly went out armed to deliberately instigate physical confrontations with law enforcement. He is not a victim. He was not a mere “protester.” And he got what was coming to him. Simple as that.
English
@Liberty22343609 @krassenstein @MattWalshBlog No I'm asking how these situations are comparable. Alex was a protestor, Babbitt was an insurrectionist that tried to climb through a barricade protected by armed feds guarding officials
Alex didn't stalk anyone by protesting ICE in public, that is his right.
English
@0Gunt0 @krassenstein @MattWalshBlog It is a miracle only Ashli Babbitt lost her life that day your asking me why more people weren’t killed but they could have been.
That is the risk these people take putting themselves in these situations.
No one forced Alex to stalk law enforcement he made a choice.
