For me it helps a great deal that the artist is dead. If I buy a recording of a Wagner performance, he benefits none at all.

Yeah, it sure is a good thing that activity won't accelerate climate change, isn't it? 🀬

Now there's something I haven't seen in several decades! I had one of those.

I had never heard of it until Peter Docter put out that bigotry. That's not exactly good advertising, Pixar, either the apparently lack of it for the movie or the homophobia.

We do offer scholarships, trading working for the event for free or reduced membership, but unfortunately the travel cost is always a barrier.

Is getting to Southeast Ohio a reasonable journey? I can highly recommend a kinky camping event there in June. There's a lot of us slutting it up there!

Right wing moralists have always been of the "condemn it in public, consume it in private" ilk. The laws they make are never intended to affect themselves. (So yeah, they know they'll get it anyway.)

Is recording necessary for transmitting with these? (Seriously asking as I wouldn't go near these damned things.)

Roblox. I really wish I could remove that pedo den from the computers here in my library, but I've been overruled every time I've brought it up.

Because a lot of people's brains shut down when you say "protect the children." It's one more way to get people to accept draconian laws without inconvenient questions.

Of course it's cute and plays nicely, but what about the ukulele?

I would love for us to have that problem, but it's not that Iran's line of secession is gone. (Iran's power structure isn't set up like ours.) It's that the people trump co wanted to put in charge are dead.

I always say there's depression and anxiety because of real events vs my brain lying to me. Most of the time I can tell the difference.

I do, actually, but I've also figured out the best times to stop off at mine. (Saturday afternoon is right out!)

Local to me, both Speedway and Kwik Trip have ads, but at least I can mute KT. I will still go out of my way to Costco, both because it's always cheaper and *no ads.*

To add to the problem, Substack has been a Nazi bar for some time now. 🀬

I'm honestly slightly more worried about them working exactly as designed. Both from the PoV that computers do exactly what you tell them to do and not what you meant to tell them and, more concerning: a computer won't object to an illegal command.

Liz is a delight and I've known a few people that have taken a similar journey of discovery within the kink community. I love how she's opening up and discovering more about herself!

I'll check out Nortverse -- it sounds like something I'd love. πŸ˜€

I'm going to go put on some Violent Femmes while I do dishes and drown out this false claim from my brain!

Stanislav Petrov - Wikipedia

I keep thinking of Stanislav Petrov. If that malfunctioning Soviet early warning system had been one of these AIs, the world would be a smoking ruin right now.

Rock Cocks is wonderful! I love how Dakota is written. (Actually I love all the characters. Coral reminds me so much of a good friend that it's uncanny!)

GS - nothing is right for everyone, of course. :)

That sounds suspiciously like you think he should be held responsible for the consequences of his own actions or something. That's radical talk, I'm sure.

Transgender Chicago man hospitalized after saving baby from drowning in Lake Michigan β€œI wasn’t going to let that baby die,” Lio Cundiff said.

This 30-year-old transgender man, who can’t swim, jumped into Lake Michigan after a wind gust blew a baby in a stroller into the freezing water.

He’s being called a hero. But now he has medical expenses, and people are donating to a fundraiser to support him.

Republicans are incapable of understanding the meaning of "decency" in that context.

It always starts what are easy sells to a lot of people. Incest porn, furries, ABDL, whatever. Even if it's harmless, there's enough "ick" factor that otherwise reasonable brains go along with it anyway.

How they don't know by now that they will be the next target always remains a mystery.
