And, I should note, our experiences should be valid in discussions BEYOND "OMG why did they choose not to have chikdren?" Because that's they only time you seem to hear about us and that's super poopy.

Media, I beg you on this International Women's Day to stop talking like having children is a necessary/assumed part of being a woman or AFAB person. A growing number of us have fully taken the off-ramp on that one. Our experiences are valid, too.

Meruka was a member of a crime family before she joined the Crows. So... she'd be crimin'.

On my way!

My partner was smug about the couch theft. :D

A comfy brown couch is fully occupied by one tall human and two very large cats.

Disrespected in my OWN HOUSE, on my OWN COUCH. "Sorry, no room for you."

As an anxiety sufferer I feel this so hard. Even those of us who are high-functioning, on a drug that works, know the therapies... sometimes the brain chemistry just wins. Sometimes you just have to ride it out. Not a failure, just life. ::hugs::

Heh heh heh. I know she's not a Crow-Origin Rook like mine. Mine would never go into politics but if she *did*, the governorship would absolutely be bought and paid for by the Crows.

I used this opportunity to let them know that I love the series and have been playing it for well over a decade and that if they use generative AI in the development of future games I will abandon it entirely.

The big issue is that I have zero trust in these big tech companies not to sneak this shit in because they're so determined to force us to use it.

1.110.0. I haven't seen any of them active, but they're available and I keep trawling the options to make sure they are OFF every time the program updates. And all the update notes are about the damn agents now.

I am also not fond of Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

Funny you should ask, I have a fic for that! It wasn't in public so much as in front of one *particular* member of the public, but...

Ooh, a most excellent way to consolidate the power of the Crows. ;)

They look lovely!

Ugh, I am begging the Visual Studio Code devs to implement one single option that disables ALL AI agents and hides all options related to them upon disabling them. It is such a MESS right now and it's making me paranoid that something is going to fuck with my code when I don't want it to.

The care and feeding of the himbo is important.

A plus of same-sex relationships! Lucanis would bust out of one of Meruka's shirts like The Hulk. ;)

I usually just do cherry Coke. I'm not the spouse who presses a million buttons looking for something caffeine-free because he is no longer allowed to juice up after noon.

I just wanna say I see what you did there (Alba primarily in purple and Luc in plaidweave) and I love it.

My problem with the soda machine version of these is that the UI is slow as balls and the touch screen tends to be very degraded. You practically have to punch the thing.

I do think (as a non-cis person) that cis people can feel a form of gender dysphoria. My cis husband rarely plays male characters in video games because the masculinity they are designed to represent makes him feel deeply uncomfortable. A mismatch between who he is and who they say he should be.

Yay Butter! I'm so glad.

Meruka would go directly to Karlach, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. And, um, watch out Faerun.

Spouse, watching a Japanese X-Men Cartoon: Of course. Cyclops is a brooding anime hero.

Me: Well, yeah, you know why?

Spouse: Why?

Me: Because Cyclops IS a brooding anime hero.

In due time. :D

Oh, do you need a lil' help, Viago? Gonna ask me to rescue you real nice? Say pretty please?

It's always been Richard III for me. Perhaps that makes me a basic bitch of the Historicals, but damn, it's one of the finest villain roles of all time.

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

Thank you from those of us outside the USA who also use the internet and have no power to influence what's being decided there right now.

We really need the Dems as a whole to fight against this grab at our data.
