Closest I’ve seen recently is me getting a little heated over a certain thing coming into law and me saying how I would love to bash some skulls over that law since it essentially allows pedophilia to be legalized to keep “boys” ( trans girls ) out of girls sports by forcing minors to do genital inspections.
Now that is a truly terrifying thought!
I feel like another good tactic, if you know multiple languages, is to switch between them. If they don’t get confused and/or as to why you switched, and/or just switch with zero hesitation, that could be a potential sign.
Probably works best if you know like 3 languages and at least one is something completely detached from the other 2. I mean, what are the odds you run into someone else who knows, for this completely hypothetical scenario, English, German, and Tagalog? Or another 3rd language far removed from the other 2?
Edit:
I feel like this would work best on a first “meeting” kind of deal. You get a DM or SMS or call from someone and they don’t even acknowledge the conversation has eventually shifted languages. You haven’t given them any reason to believe you speak multiple languages nor any indication you speak a far removed language. But they don’t acknowledge the shift and keep the conversation going at all costs. That kinda thing.
I think the last one I had, or at least had stuck with me, is a weird one. So, to start, it’s completely unrealistic since I know my dad would neved act like he did in the dream… outside of when I was a child and he was either playing with me or trying to calm me down.
Yeah, so the parts I remember are my room having LED lights around the edge of the ceiling, purple-ish pink. It was soft lighting. Room was arranged how it was back when I had the dream. So, the parts I remember is my dad coming in and rubbing his beard all across my stomach, shirt up, despite me telling him to stop repeatedly. I couldn’t stop him.
Next part I remember is them being in a car, behind my mother who was driving, my oldest brother in passengers seat. We were in a tunnel with that same purple colour lighting it up. We talk about what happened because dream me found it traumatic. I remember the conversation ending with me being told and agreeing that I should talk to my father about what happened, followed by leaving the tunnel and the dream ending.
Not the craziest dream I’ve had, but yeah.

It wasn’t a big deal since it was just a college student government set up thing in the afternoon when most people would be done with classes. So not much lost by me not being able to attend.
Ran into a snag that prevented me from going to a Halloween thing, so no plans.
I had planned on wearing my partial fursuit with a long sleeve shirt that had fake blood on it, a pair of dirtied jeans, and my old boot like shoes that are already pretty dirty and mangled from usage. You know, casual killer 3 eyed were-snow leapord. But now I don’t have a reason for it other than if I really wanna do it.
As much as I dislike both options, I know it’s not a guarantee with a priest that my hypothetical kid in this scenario would be harmed when compared to what generative AI does to the mind. So I think I’ll take my chances with a priest any day.
Edit:
At least with a priest, if they do anything harmful, there is a person who can be held responsible, whether that be justice by my own 2 paws or by a crumbling justice system.
Depends. If they continue to use it on a regular basis, I give them a couple months before their ability starts to decline and theb apply yahoo to them. Otherwise if it’s more of a one off thing, I still personally do not trust the code but wouldn’t call them a yahoo yet.
If we are talking autocomplete for IDEs, not generative AI. Also, a lot of the predictive code lines thing are just based off of what’s most likely to come next, as ( most likely ) trained off of others work. Whereas I’d argue that is different enough from an LLM since it’s basically the IDE version of the autocomplete on your smart phones keyboard app ( if you keep it on ). For LLMs, I would argue that they generate generic code that majority of the time needs cleaned up in order to even function since it will often, especially from back before I ditched it, look at your request saying you are using a specific language version and disregard because it thinks it can just use any code from that language and it’ll work. Don’t even get me started on how generative AI companies purposefully make their “software” write code in a way that is extremely bloated snd could easily be cut down to a couple lines just so they can say how their AI ( emphasis on artificial ) can write more code faster.
If we’re talking filters on art programs like Krita, also historically not completely generative AI. Majority of them ( at least on Krita ) rely on transforming your art by whatever the code says it should do as compared to generating a new image/texture. No prompt nor a need to mass steal art online in order for these filters to work. As for even something like an autofill colourize mask thing, that relies more on some form of gap detection, which isn’t considered generative AI, AFAIK. Just an advanced bucket fill tool.
If we’re talking things like ESRGAN, sure, and I absolutely have problems with that as well, but they’re ever so slightly lesser versions of the problems I have with LLMs and such.
I am well aware that some forms of it have existed for long before LLMs, but they were much more tame and weren’t being used to destroy the internet and planet to the degree it’s being used now.
I’d say not only labelled, but at the very least if we ain’t ostracizing generative ai being used in any part of the process, we should at least have the dignity to have it quarantined. I for one don’t feel like buying and installing malware because a yahoo who cannot actually read their own code decides to upload to Steam, let alone literally any other platform.
Coming from someone who is about as bright as the inside of a black hole, sounds about right for worm brain.
I stopped playing the Banjo-Kazooie recomp a while ago, so I decided ti boot it up. My mistake! I am unable to play the Clanker’s Cavern level with music on because I HATE the deep water mixed with Clanker and his bloodshot eyes! I never played BK growing up, so as an adult, Clanker scares the shit outta me my first time playing, so that’s probably why I stopped playing until yesterday.
That level gives me a run for my money on most hated level in a 3D platformer collectathon, being probably just as hated for me as Gloomy Galleon from DK64. That level genuinely terrified kid me ( moreso than even evil jack in the box ever could ) and still makes me extremely unsettled to this day. I especially hate the little cut scene for the boss fight. Never thought I would ever find a level worse or on equal footing as that!
Otherwise, it was perfectly fine.
I, for one, don’t fully understand my optimism, but I like to attribute some of it to a sort of autistic stubbornness that things must get better at any cost. Combine that with a little bit of delusion, and you get how I am able to remain optimistic.
So, I jumped ship here to the old lemm(dot)ee instance because of the r€ddit API fiasco a few years back. I haven’t looked back since. That led me to who knows how much longer down the line trying Mastodon. Still there, but I mostly just retoot things from the people I follow, who retooted another post… and follow The Internet Archive.
I mean, I did have plans that have fallen through, but I did have a costume idea. Basically, all I needed was a long sleeve button up, some pants I could intentionally pyt some small holes/rips in, and some fake blood stuff for those.
My plan was wearing my fursuit head/paws/tail and being a killer anthro 3 eyed snow leapord.
But without any Halloween plans, I have zero incentives to pull it off. Especially since I get zero trick-or-treaters at my apartment. I just want an excuse to wear my suit a little more to get used to wearing it for extended periods of time outside of my home, but nooooooooo! Life says no Halloween plans for me!
Beaver. Any day. Favorite animal period. No doubts or worries at all.
Probably a weapon like the RYNO from basically any of the Ratchet and Clank games. Only problem is we don’t have gadgetron, megacorp, mrs. zircon, or whatever other gun/ammo venders from the games. I would have the ultimate weapon that could murder anyone at all, despite me only having a limite ammo supply and needing to be fairly close.
If not a RYNO, then probably something like the sheepinator from whichever RnC game had it because I not only get a weapon with seemingly infinite usage, but also get to turn enemies into sheep. Just gotta aim and fire long enough while holding a bulky sci-fi looking weapon. What could possibly go wrong? And last I checked, it is listed as a weapon in the franchise, so I’m hoping it’s safe enough to include.
If nothing else, the zap gun you start out with in every single Destroy All Humans games would be a good 3rd option. Again, for the seemingly unlimited ammo and lightning shooting out of a gun.
I really wanted to say the plasma whip from Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal, but I really don’t feel like accidentally burning myself to death.
Edit:
For a fairly inconspicuous or rather doesn’t seem like that big of a threat choice, my brain went to the Walloper from the first RnC game. Basically just a powered boxing glove that would propel me forward a little and really hurt whoever it hits.
I have thought about if I had a Death Note and the one thing that I would be deeply fascinated by is if it could cause things like people suddenly having Song of Saya style meat vision. If it could do things like that, then I’d probably be a little sadistic by making a few billionaires become “cursed” as a warning from “God” to get rid of their greed by getting rid of their wealth. That’s also presuming I would be also allowed to basically plant voices in their heads as well.
My biggest problem with this kinda stuff is with Anubis and like one site using cloudflare.
With my current setup, like what feels like 99% of alternative r€ddit alternate frontend hosted sites don’t let me in. So I am stuck using my redirect extension to keep trying to connect to a different instance from the list and it usually takes a while.
And then, as someone who like emulation, I gotta give a huge screw you to how ghe emulation gametech wiki thing completely blocks me from connecting to their site with a VPN active. Like, I just wanna see what’s new in the emulator realm in terms of whether or not they still suggest certain emulators and their cloudflare settings basically shit on me for wanting to provately browse their website. Fuck me for not wanting my ISP looking at everything I do!
