5d Chess with Multiverse Time Travel isn’t hard.
If you start losing, all you’ve gotta do is send a piece back in time to give yourself some breathing room. =D

So, either you’re accusing me of tone policing and engaging with me anyway, or you’re not accusing me of tone policing yet continue to meander off topic anyway. XD

In what way is making a counter point disingenuous?
It reveals that your intent is not to comprehend another perspective, but to insist upon your own.
Why do I need to just blindly accept what someone says without any pushback?
The thing that you’re being asked to accept is that this someone believes what they say they believe.
Nobody’s asking you to blindly assume that this someone is being honest, but making a counterpoint is not the same thing as asking clarifying questions to probe their perspective for the inconsistencies that would indicate deception.

My intent was to try to understand why people feel the way they feel. If I disagree with a reason someone has, am I just supposed to be like “oh, ok”, and move on?
Make up your mind, is your point to understanx why people feel the way they feel or to convince them to feel in a way you agree with?

The early days of “AI” were a full generation before the beginning of the internet, as it was formalized as an academic field back in the 50’s while ARPANET didn’t start admitting non-Defense users until the 80’s.

Are you saying I am being disingenuous in my intentions by making counter points in a discussion?
Yes, that’s very clearly what’s happening here.

The two are inseperable. The scale of large language models means they can only be trained by people willing to spend billions on data harvesting and compute.

Seems pretty enforcable to me. Hell, they were even able to compel the U.S. Olympic committee to pay out hundreds of millions when their lead team doctor sexually harassed so many athletes that he’ll be in prison for the rest of his life.

What fact about yourself are you least willing to share with strangers?
If there is no way to tell if that is a reasonable question or not, then by what metric do you decide whether or not to answer it? Does that metric act as a stand-in for “reasonableness” to you, and if so then how do you square it with your earlier insistence that such a metric is impossible?
- Comment on Not looking for how to meth. But is not a moonshiners still about as dangerous as a meth house exploding? What the difference? 1 week ago:
Short version, distillation isn’t a chemical process but a simple physical state change from liquid to gas and back. Alcohol vapors can be explosive when mixed with Oxygen in an appropriate ratio, but there generally is no potential source of ignition between the boiling chamber and the cooling chamber and the expanding vapors push the oxygen out of the system early on in a production cycle.
Producing meth, however, is a multi-step process requiring both chemical and physical state changes with a panoply of reagents and waste products which are corrosive, toxic, flammable, explosive, or even potentially radioactive. Some of those waste products are volatile organic compounds which have to be vented from the production equipment and subsequently settle and condense into a residue that contaminates all surfaces in or near the meth lab. Some of that residue may involve substances like sodium and lithium which ignite spontaneously on contact with water, further increasing the risk of fire or explosion and turning any firefighting operations into a hazmat operation.

It can’t, remastering games is an entirely different process that requires artistic direction. Piping a gamecs video output through an AI filter just takes the original game and smears a bunch of slop over it.

Neutrino astronomy is only just picking up, too! China’s JUNO detector came online last year, and the IceCube Detector in Antarctica might have picked up a spectacular one if it turns out not to have been some kind of fluke.

My egg cracked at 11, but enbys were almost entirely unknown in Texas back then so I masked so hard that I was basically living in denial. My 18yo self wouldn’t need gender validation, it’ll find kindred spirits for that in college, but “Colorado, not California” might push up my transition date by a decade, 'cuz my first attempt to escape Texas didn’t go well.

I’ve seen furries put the squeakers from dog toys in the soft fabric noses of their fursuits =3

I’m probably missing some context here as well. Camera boops feel like a meme from a short-form video site like Vine or TikTok.

Definitely do look into this, and check out some of the work folks are already doing with combining fabrics and 3d printing. =D

That sort of wardrobe malfunction is not terribly uncommon since fursuit-making is still mostly a cottage industry where each piece is a one-off custom, but most reputable fursuit-makers offer a limited-time warranty to cover minor alterations and repairs.
Furry conventions also usually have someone offering repair services (sometimes even for free) in the dealer’s den in addition to the tables selling everything from parts and accessories to entire pre-made fullsuits.

More or less, yeah.
Fabrics and polyurethane foam used to be the only options for fursuits, but this started shifting over the last 10 years or so. Some enterprising furries started molding components like teeth, claws, and noses from soft rubber materials, which experienced a brief renaissance before 3d-printed parts started supplanting the more labor-intensive custom molded pieces.
At the time when this was posted, hard plastic noses had become common for new fursuits, but now that 3d printers can use TPU and other flexible materials, they’ve become the new standard. Many fursuit makers actually use this technique to print the whole frame of the fursuit head, making them more durable while also improving airflow over the old-style carved polyurethane foam head bases;

Can confirm, letting the girls free after a long day is a special kind of relief that doesn’t really have an equivalent for guys.
Imagine, stripping out of a suit where the slacks are tight enough to flatten your junk and the tie makes it hard to breathe, then bump up the feeling of relief by 20% or so for a well-fitting sports bra, a full 50% for a push-up with underwire, and straight-up triple it to compare to a corset.
