Man.
The world fucking is on fire.
So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people.
Live whats left of your only life.
If you can’t be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul.
Fuck the haters.

Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72
“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit
I remember back in the day, finding *any* NSFW content catering to a niche was rare and valuable, no matter what other details were attached, and so I shrugged at and enjoyed a lot of iffy stories, images, etc. Now, with so many dedicated galleries, I've also gotten a lot more discerning about such.

One of the reasons you should never press "Yes: Round up for [charity]" or put money in a chain store's charity box is that their accountants use those figures to calculate how much discretionary cash is loose in a neighborhood and next quarter raise prices to suck it all up for the corporation.
Sparse? A quick search of the usual places turns up nearly a hundred images; if you want sparse, how about, oh, the Anabukin-chan gang ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oEh... ), of which I've only ever found a single fan-pic.

Also: happy holidays, everyone!
Remember: There's always strength in a union. Solidarity.
I'll admit that I've poked at a few LLMs, seeing whether I could get around the filters. The most successful trick was starting asking for litcrit analysis, then swerving into the most bizarre content that they'd never have thought to train out: transformation into body-parts, or weirder. Silly fun.
John Varley's trilogy, "Titan", "Wizard", and "Demon"
Quote this with a book you read way too young to explain why you are the way you are.
*Thank* you - I *knew* I was drawing on something I'd read a few decades ago, but couldn't remember anything but the vaguest gestalt.
I want to argue that there are rationalists and there are "rationalists", and not all of the former are anti-leftist dudebros; but there are so many other things to spend time on, like brainstorming a post-apocalyptic conversation on moral philosophy with ancient Egyptian deities, or whatnot.
These days, I use a GreaseMonkey script to imitate udm14.org , which tacks on Google's anti-AI parameter to search URIs. (As long as it keeps working.) About half my searches these days are DDG, but it misses a lot of useful results G still provides.
The Valley of Death: Why $100,000 Is the New Poor

For that precise topic, I've liked Roy Pounds' "Ribbon Dancer", www.furaffinity.net/view/224964/ (I believe originally from South Fur Lands 40, chakatsden.com/SFL/issue40.... )...
Alternate take; greymuzzles of good taste simply dislike LLM-created art, and thus all the diffusion-models are simply whatever's been thrown together by newfurs who don't know any better. (... Or, at least, who have been rendered too poor by the omnishambles to commission a real artist.)

For anyone reading this who's interested in both our host and in RSS feeds, don't forget that bsky.app/profile/did:... is still working just fine...
FYI, your RSS feeds seem to not be working; the provided links in the post, elfsternberg.com/rss2/blog and elfsternberg.com/rss2/stories , are both giving me 404 errors, in several browsers, checking from several IP addresses.
Always thinking of you, ya freaks
Aha, the old 'moist' problem. I remember despising the term 'blog' when it was first contracted from 'web-log'. ... I suppose you never know what sounds off until you hear it; who can tell if they dislike 'frotterotransformationalpartialism' until they hear it?
I am suddenly experiencing the strange feeling of being more into something than someone who has, for decades, been my idealized exemplar of appreciating and enjoying exotic eroticism...
... Now I'm curious. Is it just the CB word used in image-gallery tags, or something less obvious?
No need to worry about the furry porn; it started showing up three days ago. ... Couldn't tell you whether or not the original is aislop, though.

I saw someone on my timeline shaming someone else for posting about college football in a time like this.
Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage.
Let people find joy where they can, please.
