> a court case regarding werewolf erotica

The case was In re Martinez, 216 Cal. App. 4th 1141, 157 Cal. Rptr. 3d 701 (Cal. Ct. App. 2013). The werewolf erotica at issue was The Silver Crown by Mathilde Madden (2010). The court held it was not obscene.

Comparative anatomist expert witness at the Furries v. Subscribestar trials:
Your honor, as exhibit A clearly demonstrates, all mammals have "human-like knee orientation." It is only the relative proportions of the limb segments that change.

Any platform that isn't self-hosted will eventually become toxic as it grows in size and power.

Don't look for the next boat to hop on and hope its captain will "be good this time I promise".

I still really doubt these systems affirmatively satisfy Metzinger's conceptual constraints. I don't think a proponent of the existence of artificial consciousness today can prove that case.

I just have to concede that those constraints also don't affirmatively rule out consciousness, either.

I set out to find one of those constraints that is clearly not satisfied by tech like Claude. I felt confident there would be a clear example. But I'm not finding one. Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence, so I have to concede that, from the armchair, I can't be "very confident."

Serious answer: It probably works in a way that satisfies the conceptual constraints articulated in Thomas Metzinger's Being No One (2003).

Cobra Man had achieved, multiple times, the all-bangers album. Think about how rare that is.

To be clear any head proximity creates crown chakra interference patterns, I'm talking about problematic resonance caused by symmetries of -aligned- crown chakras.

You can mitigate with headgear that has a high index of aura refraction, like a fursuit head. This is why nose-to-nose books are fine.

In a standing, ventral-ventral mouth-to-mouth kissing embrace, the chakras are coplanar and nearly vertically aligned (subject to height difference), but I don't enjoy it.

First, there's oral microbe exposure.

Second, the crown chakras overlap creating an interference pattern.

Can we borrow schaffen from German and make it another meaning of shaft?
