Everyone religious wakes up tomorrow realizing that it's just a social club and none of the god stuff is real.

I remember seeing dead man walking on I think top of the pops, it was freaking amazing.

And the first time I heard Little Wonder on MTV2 I just stopped and watched, then knew I had to have that CD.

Also: "shaking their sex and their bones, and the boys that they were"

And "I don't want knowledge; I want certainty!"

That whole Earthling album is fantastic. Weirdly it's the first Bowie album I bought.

They don't keep logs, and are audited to prove that. When you sign up, you get an ID number, they don't ask for your name or email or anything. There's no password either.

Yeah you got it exactly. I'm not explaining stuff well today. I think I used up all my brain at work.

Honestly it sounds like you're in a much better place than I was at 23! You've had therapy and you have a friend group. I think you'll do ok.

Also, ugh ugh ugh on the pressure to change. I'm more than twice your age and got diagnosed this year. I spent decades thinking I was just broken and had to think and act the same as everyone else. I really wish I could tell myself, at your age, about what I've learned.

I'm autistic and so is my wife. We were friends first, then got talking as we both were dealing with shitty divorces. We've been together 13 years and our relationship just get better and better.

Don't try to get dates using apps. They're for a very specific set of attractive, charismatic, extroverted people. Not neurodiverse people. Some might have luck but nobody I know uses them.

Instead, in my subjective opinion, you should be joining social circles that contain the type of people you wish to date. Hobbies, clubs, sports, dog parks, volunteering, etc etc. All of which might be far outside your comfort zone and if so I apologize and I hope you don't feel insulted. Basically you need to level up your social skills to attract prospective partners.

Of course, I met my wife online first, but it was on a forum, not a dating app. But I hope this helps in some way. Good luck!

EDIT: I didn't date from age 17 to age 25 because I shut myself away. Only once I grew up a bit did I start getting interest from prospective partners.

"Using third-party programs and hardware to automate any facet of gameplay."

So if you're a disabled gamer, fuck you go play something else.

I had this issue in the past with Path of Exile. The developer was adamant that any form of assistance was cheating. When asked about players with accessibility issues, complete silence.

Ableist arrogance and ignorance piss me the fuck off.

Mullvad.

Shit you can pay for the service by anonymously mailing them cash.

Isn't your computer disk encrypted already?

Otherwise you seem to want jails or sandboxes to protect each app, with access denied by default. That sounds more like Android, or possibly Qubes OS: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qubes_OS

Wow, he must have been really well organized to get to 200,000.

I'm sorry, I had to make the feeble attempt at humour. Don't hate me too much.

I like to refer to he which cannot be named as "musky chodelet"

They really are just another russia. You'd think they could find something better to spend their money on.

There is a potential for proliferation of CSAM generated by AI. While the big AI generators are centralized and kept clear of most bad stuff, eventually unrestricted versions will become widespread.

We already have deepfake porn of popular actresses, which I think is already harmful. There's also been sexually explicit deepfakes made of preteen and young teenage girls in Spain, and I think that's the first of many similar incidents to come.

I can't think of a way to prevent this happening without destroying major potential in AI.

Maybe the musky chodelet should try renaming the site again!

Or boost more pedos and bigots to everyone's feeds. Because obviously everyone is an edgelord just like musky.

Or just have the site randomly scream racial slurs. Advertisers love that, right?

Or make every tweet have goatse as the background. Surely that will drive engagement‽‽‽

Yeah, you're right. They're trolling.

They're more persistent than the usual low effort stuff, and they're providing so much down vote bait.

I'm sure they're having fun, but I wish people wouldn't take these threads at face value like the discussion is real.

Don't feed the troll

You cheeky monkey

Oh. It me.

I really like my Keen winter boots. They're warm enough for the worst Michigan can throw at me.
