and the third is autism spectrum lisorder!

i mean, they still do that anyway, for all we know the “disagree” button does fuck all. but at least now we know that they do it, hooray?

dw about it, your data will be safe amongst their friends! MyAnimeList and their 938 closest friends :)

well maybe for you that’s not enough justification. but others care about other people

in a way i think yes. in the dark ages at least any insane cults and ideas couldn’t spread far. if your village or castle happened to have dark ages version of ben shapiro then his words aren’t going to go far (unless they infected the local ruler as well, and even then it’d still be contained within your area, or your country at worst). If you were on the receiving end of insanity you could always just kind of– pack up and move to another village, walk 30km away and you’re like a new man! Worst case scenario find your way to a port, fuck off to another country - passports or border control did not exist, passage was often granted for free to those able bodied that joined the crew for the voyage.

obviously i’m romanticising here a bit, modern medicine and technology makes day to day life easier. but it also makes other things much harder. our privacy is going extinct at an alarming rate, freedom of movement across borders belongs to distant memories of our great grandparents, (unless you’re french) your protests will be ignored and/or vilified, and if you dare care about other humans and speak up about it you can be labelled as a terrorist in some places

i do truly hope that those years of unrest aren’t here to stay…

video games take a lot of time and effort to make, and i’m not that interested in making them

man, i simply want a 3D non-anime non-light novel non-tits the size of my screen porn game from a submissive perspective. the only one i managed to find is in beta (Carnal Instinct) and has been for at least a year

what makes this combo be such a unicorn of porn games istg, is being horny an anime-fan exclusive in gaming?

honestly good, from what i’ve noticed adult games are waaaaaay more likely to become early access abandonware, i guess once the horniness runs out so does the motivation. and i’d like to finally play a game that’s horny, good, and finished. i may be into edging and denial but only consentually, ok?

we still wouldn’t get paid more if we converted to Euros, we’d just be paid in smaller looking numbers

it’s the devs/publishers yes

some time ago Palworld devs lowered the regional price for Poland as they noticed it was relatively more expensive for Poles to buy the game, they got a lot of praise for that

my best idea would be going old school with in person written & oral testing, since clearly nothing digital is of any help anymore. or perhaps require multiple digital WIP versions to be submitted? would also be getting the students into a good habit of making backups of their work. or maybe every essay should come with a director’s commentary (a more loose style reflective essay on the research and work done)

o.o holy shit- i mean that’s a valid move, using AI for a handwritten piece sounds like a pain in the ass, but so does just writing 10 pages by hand, AI or not!

i’m glad i got through my higher education marginally before the AI boom hit (i graduated 3 years ago). i only had Turnitin yell “PLAGIARISM???” at me when i used a common phrase that another student used at some point somewhere (think - “The research suggests…”, or sometimes even the page numbers), good times good times

i much prefered writing notes on paper but i’d cry if i had to write an essay by hand, i hope those students aren’t torturing themselves this way

“can” and not “could”? you haven’t had a chance to test it yet but already claim to have invented a machine that can predict the future a decade in advance? it better be the journalists that picked that word because if the scientists are saying that, then their funding would do better somewhere else

i feel like the feeling of them coming “out of nowhere” and “disappearing” is created by how little cultural impact those movies managed to create. like give me a single quote, anything memorable from the story itself. we all remember it is a beautiful film to watch, but the plot might as well be a theme park ride around an alien world

nobody talks about it, there is nothing to talk about

youtube? the place with free quality documentaries, free knowledge in the easiest to digest video form about a huge variety of topics? the spot where you can learn life skills, cooking, hobbies, maths, physics, programming, among many others, with visualised tutorials showing every part of every step with explenations?

what on earth is happening to the internet these days? absolute insanity

social media is shit and i get restricting twitter or tiktok, but youtube? it seems so bizarre to me

most of the world isn’t american. we can’t do anything about your government

gamers, unironically, rise up. this isn’t going to end on niche porn games

this bullshit is surely coming from the recently intensifying family friendlinessification of the internet, but why the fuck do payment processors care? i have no idea. are they taking a cut of advertising revenue? do all ceos just want to appear as massive prudes? do they see children as an untapped market to exploit? or maybe they’re just fucking stupid? what is actually going on
