Thought it might be interesting to look at concepts of Amy and Tia! Before doing full illustrations for them I roughly sketched them to have somewhat solid designs! I'm also trying to get on Vgen so I can start accepting commissions🙏 Likes and comments will help out a lot! https://vgen.co/ChillyDum

Or if you're verified vgen artist who can share code I'll be very glad if you do q_q

The cop dismissed the case after she shared the bodycam footage

[nullwronskian]

This is pretty hilarious (especially the hand to god part, shes funny) until think about how often he has done this to other people. Cops lie all the time, imagine all the times where its not so blatantly obvious hes lying. If she had her right hand, it would have been her word against his and judges always take cop testimony as true. ACAB always. Fuck 12.

[letsnotandsaywewantedto]

They dropped the charges so the cop wouldn't have to look a judge in the eyes and explain himself.

Charges dropped against woman with no right hand who went viral being pulled over

Bodycam footage from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office shows the officer insisting he saw her holding the device in her hand while driv

None of the reporting names the deputy, by the way.

I think when a sub says "you can do whatever you want to me" what they're actually wanting is to not make decisions anymore, and they think by saying this they can foist the decision making off on the dom without having to do any of the work beforehand. But unfortunately to get to the Not Making Choices part of kink you do in fact have to make a Lot Of Choices beforehand and communicate those choices to your partner. This is an essential part of the process and skipping it is both unsafe and unfair for whoever you're playing with.

Not Making Choices is the reward for communicating clearly, not the default

I don't know I'm not done talking about it. It's insane that I can't just uninstall Edge or Copilot. That websites require my phone number to sign up. That people share their contacts to find their friends on social media.

I wouldn't use an adblocker if ads were just banners on the side funding a website I enjoy using and want to support. Ads pop up invasively and fill my whole screen, I misclick and get warped away to another page just for trying to read an article or get a recipe.

Every app shouldn't be like every other app. Instagram didn't need reels and a shop. TikTok doesn't need a store. Instagram doesn't need to be connected to Facebook. I don't want my apps to do everything, I want a hub for a specific thing, and I'll go to that place accordingly.

I love discord, but so much information gets lost to it. I don't want to join to view things. I want to lurk on forums. I want to be a user who can log in and join a conversation by replying to a thread, even if that conversation was two days ago. I know discord has threads, it's not the same. I don't want to have to verify my account with a phone number. I understand safety and digital concerns, but I'm concerned about information like that with leaks everywhere, even with password managers.

I shouldn't have to pay subscriptions to use services and get locked out of old versions. My old disk copy of photoshop should work. I should want to upgrade eventually because I like photoshop and supporting the business. Adobe is a whole other can of worms here.

Streaming is so splintered across everything. Shows release so fast. Things don't get physical releases. I can't stream a movie I own digitally to friends because the share-screen blocks it, even though I own two digital copies, even though I own a physical copy.

I have an iPod, and I had to install a third party OS to easily put my music on it without having to tangle with iTunes. Spotify bricked hardware I purchased because they were unwillingly to upkeep it. They don't pay their artists. iTunes isn't even iTunes anymore and Apple struggles to upkeep it.

My TV shows me ads on the home screen. My dad lost access to eBook he purchased because they were digital and got revoked by the company distributing them. Hitman 1-3 only runs online most of the time. Flash died and is staying alive because people love it and made efforts to keep it up.

I have to click "not now" and can't click "no". I don't just get emails, they want to text me to purchase things online too. My windows start search bar searches online, not just my computer. Everything is blindly called an app now. Everything wants me to upload to the cloud. These are good tools! But why am I forced to use them! Why am I not allowed to own or control them?

No more!!!!! I love my iPod with so much storage and FLAC files. I love having all my fics on my harddrive. I love having USBs and backups. I love running scripts to gut suck stuff out of my Windows computer I don't want that spies on me. I love having forums. I love sending letters. I love neocities and webpages and webrings. I will not be scanning QR codes. Please hand me a physical menu. If I didn't need a smartphone for work I'd get a "dumb" phone so fast. I want things to have buttons. I want to use a mouse. I want replaceable batteries. I want the right to repair. I grew up online and I won't forget how it was!

This is literally what people are talking about when they say AI will be used to mainstream widely held bigotry. LLMs are trained on frequency and probability -> straight relationships are more well represented in the dataset -> straight pronouns and terms become the "correct" normal.

This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

Combine this with the mass of people inclined to believe (and being encouraged to believe) that if AI says and does something it must be correct

I must not fall victim to disgust. Disgust is the heart-killer. Disgust is the little-death that brings total apathy. I will face my disgust. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the disgust has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

“i should take a walk for my mental health” boring, tired, i don’t even really wanna do it tbh

Paramount’s First Amendment Case for Why It Deserves Warner Bros.

As attorneys general aim to challenge the merger, David Ellison’s team is leaning on a free speech theory to help cross the finish line.

"Deserve" nothing. This is all about Ellison's ego and sense of entitlement to things he thinks he deserves.

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

No one deserves anything

Least of all a dogshit studio of repulsive oxygen thieving fuckwits run by one of Donald Trump's bootlicking pet slaves and financed by the batshit insane fascist terrorist regime that is Saudi Arabia, a "government" that is right up there with Nazi Gemany, Soviet Russia and North Korea when it comes to being one of the single most vile and evil "governments" to have existed in all of human history
