Yes, I'm saying in a more sexually liberated society, one that's more comfortable with nudity and the human body, people might go: "Oh of course we can include nudes in the data set, here's a bunch more!".

You're saying in a sexually liberated society one more comfortable with nudity, people would still be viewing this in a state of discomfort.

You came here to say this, regardless of anything I said, and so are yourself not interested in the consent of all parties in this very conversation (which is with a person by the way).

I am just a prop, and you simply don't need to listen to me. Because you will say what you have to say and will mutilate whatever was being said in order to return to the status quo regardless of the comment you were replying to.

This isn't about me, it's about what you have to say. So I hope you feel better about having a one sided and belittling conversation.

I find you inadequate as an intelligent chat partner, so will block you now. I suspect that you will gain satisfaction from this, as a repressive. So enjoy.

Fear of deflation shouldn't be more powerful than having a rational decline. After all Japan had deflation for 30 years thanks to negative interest rates and still managed to keep a western quality of life, so it's not impossible...

... it's just Capitalists hate anything that isn't an infinite growth, infinite demand model.

The only way to liberate everyone is to work less, and hence have some decline in growth. We shouldn't preach fear around that.

Because between declining birth rates and increasing automation a decline is coming whether we're ready to accept the role of managing it rationally or not.

I think in a more sexually open society ...their opinions about sexual content would be considered.

Like how I said in my original comment "switch Lena's photo if she doesn't want it in there anymore"...

So as you can see, I was already saying a sexually open world would be considerate, even though you're phrasing it as if we're disagreeing. Perhaps this is because you wish the conversation to go to an oppositional and hence repressive/aggressive place.

I think that would be a reasonable response if one felt subjugated and traumatized, injured and trapped by the current patriarchal systems of sex and power imbalance, and it might be difficult to see how sexuality, nudity, and pornography could be sociologically dealt with, understood, or theorised about outside of that framework.

Thus a dream of a better world can be stolen and held back be the pre-existing and persisting traumas of how we treat sex, bodies, nudity, and self-image in this one.

But there can be sex positive and body positive form of sex, sexuality and pornography that include being comfortable with nudity, and even taboo. I was proposing such a parallel world...

But you continue to cast it as the same as this world. That is your choice, but to continue to make that same choice is an act of killing communication and hence progress on the issues of this world.

The nature of fiction even in a passing comment, like the one I made, is to explore the possible and impossible. So beware what you make impossible.

Yes and I'm saying in a more sexually open society we'd just admit that people lust after people of all genders, and include some others in the data set.

Teenagers were always mentally ill, we just make more efforts to report such nowadays.

The education system is not a place of mental wellness, and the transition to adulthood is innately disturbing.

The whole region should be placed under international administration, just like Germany after the war.

Some people are triggered by nudity. On another timeline the conclusion of this "scandal" would be to include a retro photo of a naked dude in the test image data set (and maybe also switch Lena's photo if she doesn't want it in there anymore).

The shoulder belongs to them, and they are a woman, so it really doesn't matter in this informal setting.

Language is about being able to communicate, not whatever trip you're on.

Yeah, via SideQuest (which is a sideloader program), and most game engine support quest development. However it wouldn't surprise me if Meta were able to prevent that.

They really are horrible to devs, they offer no real support, especially for Unreal devs, and their dev forums are practically dead because of this.

They don't understand how to encourage devs. I was thinking of getting a Meta Quest 3, but seeing this post has me reconsidering the idea.

There's a bunch of investigations and court cases going on still, but what we do know is that there's hard evidence that Trump wanted to accomplish the goal of staying in office, and was already asking people to use illegal conduct to achieve that goal... Which was high treason.

He was asking for elector's to produce counts that give him more votes, he was asking Pence to go against his constitutional duties.

Some participants involved in J6 did appear to be trying to breach baracaded and protected areas (many of those participants had professional training as police, and military personnel others were from militias). A security guard (who turns out was a Capitol Hill Police Officer, named Eugene Goodman) was protecting an area of the senate where the ballot custody chain was, and did misdirect protestors away from areas the custody chain travels through.

To my mind that sounds like there was motive, an expressed goal, ongoing attempts, and people with the right training who were at the right place and time.

Are there any confessions? Not to my knowledge. Have their been convictions of interrupting congressional business, and was that business the certification of vote counts that decide who the President of the United States of America is?

Yes. Absolutely.

Will there be more convictions on the matter? I think we're all waiting to see. There may be a push to leave some until the next President is in office, as to not further upset the processes and stability of American democracy.

The meme's about America loving coups so much (even having caused some of the ones you've listed) and the thread is about a user joking that it's even attempted a coup of America its self a couple of times.

I'm not even American, but by intercepting the ballot count before it could be certified by the Senate, which was being done in the exact place they were directed to protest at (and that a particular security guard, one individual alone, was smart enough to lead them away from). As I recall they came as close as just a few hallways away from where the count box was being transported.

Had they successfully intercepted it, that could either lead to Trump having more time to position/submit false electors or their ballots... The plot of which was already rolling.

He could either stand up appearing to save the day with fraudulent duplicates of the ballot counts (pushing his ballot count via the loaded supreme court, where bribery scandals are both currently ongoing and rife) , or try to convince Pence that this interruption/destruction in ballot count certification made things more constitutional.

That particular day was legally significant as it was the final step in the authentic chain of custody over the as yet uncertified ballot count. Interrupting that chain of custody would have raised questions, as I believe the constitution provides room for ballot counts to be given on the elector's authority alone, and that it's the process of the VP and Senate verifying and authorising them as the official/valid count results that actually certifies them as the true and only valid Presidential Election results (the True account of who is President).

So Trump both had been attempting parts of this plot already, had already asked Pence to do it (I believe he called him a "pussy" for not doing it), and it was really only Pence's refusal that prevented it being a coup. Interrupting the ballots may have been a "Plan B" to recover from Pence's refusal.

Very lucky that Pence is a staunch constitutionalist and wasn't pressured into going along with it, and then in lieu of that, that one security guard lead protestors away from the as yet uncertified ballot count box. That may have been all there was between having a sanctified election result, and one that was constitutionally, and legally, in doubt.

...and everyone elses point was "that's not the topic".

You're addressing a statement "there's never been any violence from any leftwing movement ever" that no one was making... And doing so across multiple comments so it makes it look like you're trying to make it the topic, but still just wasn't the topic or a things anyone was claiming.

With the exception of JFKs assassination, I don't believe any of those were coup attempts (which I think is why you're getting downvotes).

Oh yeah, the business plot... I mean er, the brooks brothers riots, i mean er... Jan 6th.

Huh, funny how it's always coming from a specific segment of society.

This CEO has been a problem from day one, and there needs to be a movement to get rid of them.

Because it's not a list of rapists, just a list of people Epstein was interested in having influential control over.

...and even going to the Island just meant he was trying to influence you. He was looking for whatever leverage he could find over people.

Can we stop letting the actions of a few bad people be used to curtail our freedom on platforms we all use.

I don't want the internet to end up being policed by corporate AIs and poorly implemented bots (looking at you auto-mod).

The internet is already a husk of what it used to be, what it could be. It used to be personal, customisable... Dare I say it; messy and human...

.... maybe that was serving a need that now people feel alienated from. Now we live as corporate avatars who risk being banned every time we comment anywhere.

It's tiresome.
