In the aughts, my first introduction to bondage was an unlabeled dvd I found on the side of the road.
Wasn’t even the first time I’d found porn that way.

Just because you can’t lift the couch doesn’t mean you can’t help. Someone has to pick up the beer, someone has to drive the truck. Someone needs to hold the doors while they carry it in, someone needs to know a guy who can help, the list of things goes on for miles.

Yeah, I’m done with superheros that aren’t animated but this is a plot I can get behind.

This is exactly what I needed to feel lately, thank you.
- Comment on AI Slop 6 days ago:
So I’ve heard this mentioned by my kid as he complained about the kids in his class, but I never really looked into it.
This is exactly what AI should have been. It should have been a new vector for people to create dumb and ridiculous things, not the brain of our government, not the death of our job market, not a child porn factory, just a neat way to make things that look just a little weird to become the seed of a new genre.
In the early days of stable diffusion, I tried to use it to make a coloring book, using the dumb and inaccurate ways it went about things on purpose to parody the people trying to hide their AI use and the companies that crank out tons and tons of uninspired graphics or stolen work to make money on people wanting to color without thinking. I was going to make a whole series of bad AI coloring books filled with dumb hybrid animals and anothonically fucked up superheros, a curated collection so we could point at the novelty and laugh at the absurdity of a computer making a superhero who’s only power is having a 3rd arm on their crotch. Instead I scrapped the whole thing and deleted the material and program. I had concerns about the child superheros coming out too sexualized and before I could figure out how to stop it, AI became the devil of our time.
So much fun dies to capitalism.

I have a pet theory, I’m not a sociologist or anthropologist or historian so I don’t know enough to claim it valid. I feel that Europe did to the world what Dark Souls did to gaming.
Here’s this tiny section of the world, the weather is awful most of the year, the ground is barely fit for food and the only reliably edible plants are just variations of mustard. The wildlife is awful, wolves can drag off grown men, boars take whole parties to hunt, rats will eat and poison an entire grainhouse over night. Every few years a new power rolls in to wreck the place, if it’s not people it’s diseases, if it’s not diseases it’s climate shifts. Everyone lives in shit hovels relying on next to no nutrients, without enough to feed everyone, crammed in together with farm animals and listening to every other member of their family fucking as they’re trying to sleep. And they persist like that for longer than recorded time.
That’s life on the hardest possible difficult for generations. So when they finally scrape together enough to get out of there they find out that every single other civilization was living in literal verdant utopias. They respond the same exact way a diehard Dark souls fan does, everyone else needs to git gud and get learned up because how the fuck are these Stardew players surviving without an 800 page manual on stats? Europeans literally couldn’t comprehend the idea of a forest that gives you unlimited food because all of their forests eat your fucking chicken just to laugh at your suffering. Living without defined boundaries? How do you stop your neighbor from taking all your grain and leaving you to starve to death in the winter? Picking up your whole community to follow buffalo? Are you insane?! There’s probably a group of bandits right over the hill waiting to gut you for everything you own! Put your big hairy cows in a paddock so they aren’t stolen too! Europe had to make use of every square inch of land to survive, they couldnt fathom the idea of so much land that you’ll never need to see another human again without choosing to. And the hording, lifetimes of eating the same dozen plants and never having enough for everyone to be full, winters that kill you if you don’t spend every second farming to survive it. Land so scarce you have to kill for it.
All of this ignores the social aspects of this mindset becoming a political system. Now several hundred years later, we still have to deal with it because generically we’re the equivalent of dogs scarfint down anything they see because they get used to not being fed regularly. Of course they’re going to be vastly over powered and over equipped compared to a world of people playing on a sane and reasonable difficulty level.
- Comment on I didn't realize masala, was spicy 2 weeks ago:
Yo, south central Kansas here. Take a look for don’t buy at big box stores, next time you’re anywhere with a population of +10k look for Asian markets or Hispanic markets, if you’re extra lucky you may find middleastern or Indian grocers. You can get all the stuff you from one of those for comparable prices to most big stores. I buy everything but garlic there now because it’s cheaper and often stronger.
I personally suggest starting with the snack isle, look for the the Dragonfly brand chips and take a gamble on any of the fat cakes. After that, give yellow or massaman curry a try. It’s Thai, not Indian, but it has a similar profile. Shoot me a DM and I’ll give you a recipe and literally walk you through making it if you need.
I’m a strong supporter of the value of American culinary culture, we do actually have some amazing recipes, but we’ve all been absolutely shafted by the ubiquity of it. Everyone deserves a chance to experience the madcap world that is food.

You gotta remember, despite everything we say, everything we’ve written, the laws in place, the rapidly growing atheism, the US is a theocracy first and foremost. The religion is just as important as the economy, employment rate, or the opinions of the ruling class.

How many other politicians are doing that? When a mechanic doesn’t try to scam you, you tell very person that will listen.

There are two parts to this. For starters, sex without arousal is also painful. During arousal, you secrete lubricants, the vaginal cavity expands as blood flows to it, and your body dampens pain reception across the entire body. Most people are not aroused by medical examinations and given your examples for experiences I’d say you’re definitely not getting hot and bothered by it. So the difference is eating a candy that you’re excited for compared to eating plain bread with a dry mouth.
Second is that your doc may be aware of your issue and forewarning you so you’re prepared. Given the way you talk about it, I’d imagine you’re probably on the younger side. If you’re getting your first few exams, or have been direct about your experiences so far then it’s likely they’re playing it safe for your comfort.
Lastly, talk to your Doctor about this issue, here are some examples so you know the verbage. I’m a guy but I do have second hand experience. I long distanced a gal who had surgery for microperforate hymen before we met and was incredibly scared of penetration in any way. It didn’t work out for other reasons, but we had a lot of fun building her confidence and other interests. The mother of my child had a partial transverse vaginal septum, it led to a sharp and buring pain at the entrance during penetration outside of a specific angle. This was “solved” during child birth when the doc had to snip her to allow the baby to come out. After getting stitched back correctly (no husband stitches here) she ended up having quite the sexual awakening. Lastly, my now spouse had a rotated womb which lead to abdominal pain during arousal as it pinched the womb. This was remedied.by a full hysterectomy for unrelated purposes.
Point being, there’s a lot of variables in the area and it would do good to read up on some of the issues, do some self exploration to get a good handle on what your symptoms are, and them talk to your Doctor about it.

It’s not that they’re atypical prey for coyote, it’s that Coyotes are atypical in urban areas. It’s not impossible for one to get him, not impossible for one to be in the city, just not a typical situation.
- Comment on How can AI act without initial human input? Does this show AI can have freewill or am I deceived? 3 weeks ago:
I’m gonna preface by stating that I’m on your side and also hate this whole AI thing. It was neat at first but a bunch of dick bags decided to turn it into a scam and now I can’t afford ram for my budget pc.
One thing I can’t quite let go of is how much the line “they’re predictive engines that predict the text that comes next based on a huge repository of mostly-stolen content.” Applies to us as well. What is the difference between thoughts stollen and thoughts consumed? Is the philosophy I read not just information stored in a meaty hard-drive? Ai doesn’t comprehend information, it just regurgitates it in a manor that looks understandable. I also contain information I don’t understand but can tell you on demand in a way that looks understandable. There’s a lot of statements about AI just being “this” but frequently I see “this” and wonder why it’s any different than when humans do it? “Ai doesn’t make art because art takes soul and feeling” but what does that say about corperate logos, clip art, or the millionth furry porn OC an artist must make to pay the bills? Those also have no soul or feeling.
I don’t like AI either, but I want to understand the philosophical implications of these arguments.
- Comment on Me_irl 3 weeks ago:
I wasn’t aware of the origin and I dreamed that it was some sort of twilight zone thing. Like the guy hadn’t ordered his food yet and the weird golden age town’s burger joint just inherently knows what he’s going to order. It plays into the growing sense of unease as the town gets weirder and weirder by being too perfect until the drop and it’s revealed to be some sort of trap.

- Comment on Technology 3 weeks ago:
I feel like we should start an IP movement like this. So many of my favorite things have turned out to be the product of awful people and I can’t live in a world where I’m scared to read or game or listen to music because they support the rape of children. I don’t feel bad for pirating them anymore but I’m tied of feeling bad for liking them.

- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 4 weeks ago:
If you’re trying to imply it’s because they’re smaller you’re still wrong. Switzerland has 12 deaths per 100,000 people where the US has 15,186 per 100,000.same measure, dramatically different amounts.

At this point I’m too jaded to bother. I don’t want to fund Nazis anywhere, but if the things that support my values are an island, it’s maybe only 6 grains of sand above the ocean of bad. I don’t have the kind money to takes to not get my feet wet and at least Sweden isn’t excited to be Nazis like every other nation.

You know I’ve been using this handle for about 18 years and you’re one of two people that have actually mentioned it.
The other one was salty about a halo 3 match and messaged me to say “postmortal poop”
