| An Adult | Any pronouns | Autistic | I am unashamedly queer (no it is not a slur and I'll reclaim it for myself if I want to and I'll use it academically too; if I'm not looking at you and calling you, personally, 'queer', I'm not calling you, personally, queer; there's a certain amount of responsibility you have to take for your own triggers and trauma sometimes, it's not just everyone else's responsibility to ignore the majority of the community's beliefs and needs because you have trauma to the word that was being used long before the homophobes got a hold of it ; also, terfs and terf ideology can fuck off, intentional or otherwise). I write stuff and obsess a lot about fictional characters. No I am not a WriterTM. I write snippets and disjointed unfinished stories for fun and to process trauma and brain shit when needed. I've never finished an actual story in my life and likely never will. My blog and sideblogs alike can and often do include posts with adult content, so please be smart about scrolling through if you're sensitive to such things, and just straight up DNI and block if you're a minor please. I will be blocking you myself if I find out you are a minor. I came up with my username when I was like, 16, and I've had it for a long time; I've decided there's not much point changing it now and I'm trying to get out of cringe culture so it's there to stay. Probably. The avatar icon I'm using was created by the ever amazing @raidesart and depicts the character Viggo Grimborn from HTTYD: Race To The Edge.
so some news about AI. It seems Discord is apparently just. going to unconsentually add Clyde AI to servers in a slow roll out. The way they are doing this is rather than how we initially suspected he would show up as an option via the integrations tab on server settings, it appears that he is apparently being added into servers as a user who is part of the server that the admin would have to manually kick. He cannot be banned, but we can kick him repeatedly. The issue is it's unclear if there will be a greeting message for when Clyde arrives into servers and he will attempt to infiltrate again and again. Small servers this is easy to spot, big servers this is an obvious issue of sifting through who is in your server.
Important to note this has only been seen so far in a friend server and I have only seen it in one server so far. Community servers might be different it is simply something we do not know yet.

Here is an article from Discord about this thag updated about an hour ago
Aside from that I was able to go into permissions and make it so nobody in my server could interact with Clyde. I still do not know what information Clyde and by extension OpenAI has from what it might have taken from my server to “make Clyde better” there was no warning and no message despite how discord had pitched this. It says in this article that it will notify users but Discord did not do that at all.
Another update! You can only kick Clyde in mobile if you are a server mod and you have to go through server settings and then members and click on clyde and then block!
Again, all the people acting like we're just anti-progress or something like we're just unequivocally without nuance against AI being used ever: IF IT'S SO HARMLESS AND GOOD AND TOTALLY NOT TAKING ANYTHING WITHOUT OUR CONSENT THEN WHY ARE THEY TRYING TO SNEAK IT IN AND NOT GIVING US AN ACTUAL PROPER AND RESPECTED CHOICE IN THE MATTER?
It's about CONSENT. It's always been about CONSENT. And if you're pissed at people wanting that to be respected, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
A big fracking company had to retreat temporarily because we managed to stop our banks funding it, but now it's just going to fucking America so now we absolutely HAVE to get our Federal Government to take a stand and stop them regardless of funding or it'll be for nothing and the amount of damage this company will do in the Northern Territory if they succeed is fucking HORRIFIC and will have extremely far reaching environmental and human rights impacts.
PLEASE IF YOU'RE AUSTRALIAN PLEASE SIGN THIS PLEASE
And if you're not Australian PLEASE BOOST LIKE HELL.
As frackers move in on the NT and WA, @tanya_plibersek must fast-track the expanded water trigger to ensure our water is protected – not poi
To people struggling to write something because spoons, here's all I wrote:
"Hi, I live in this country and would like not to see groundwater permanently contaminated, 1.4 billion tonnes of climate pollution added to a problem already climbing to double the temperature rise scientists said was the absolute max it should be for recovery to possible, all while First Nations voices about their own damn country are constantly spoken over and ignored while everything around them is destroyed for the sake of greedy people wanting more money than they will ever remotely need.
You'll have received plenty of correspondence by this point by people who have been telling you for literal decades the realities of fracking and the damage it does to everything within a truly horrific radius. You shouldn't need me hounding you with the same facts you've been told time and time again already.
DON'T. FRIGGING. ALLOW. FRACKING.
THIS IS NOT BLOODY ROCKET SCIENCE.
STOP."
That's it. That's all I wrote. If you CAN write more, absolutely go for it!! But it's ok to just tell them to stop being idiots and listen to all the people who have already given them the bloody PowerPoint presentations of facts repeatedly.
I have never met a single person who thinks copyright is bullshit who wasn't a shameless thief twisting themselves into false equivalence and logical fallacy pretzels to avoid recognising they're a shitty human being.
(Edit: I can't tag them but @alyssamarbles and whoever else ends up pointing out corporate abuse of copyright law is absolutely correct that massive corporations like Disney getting 100year copyright on things is bullshit and we can absolutely talk about corporations abusing copyright law for their own gains and at others' expense. That's not a problem to bring up. My issue is with people who think copyright is bad, full stop, because they just don't want anyone to be able to own any intellectual property ever because it means they can't just take someone else's work without asking.)
i am! obsessed! with this book from the late ming dynasty about scams to watch out for (esp. if you are a traveling merchant). this guy is like, there ARE immortals who can survive without food but you WILL NOT encounter them because they live alone in the mountains and don't talk to anyone. if a monk comes to your house and claims to not need to eat, it's probably because he's secretly eating human fetuses, or something. eunuchs are invariably corrupt and the court system is useless. however, do NOT try to bribe anyone for a better SAT result for your idiot failson; this never works. nuns WILL try to seduce your wife into cheating on you. if your idiot failson does really badly on the SAT, make sure to have his father's remains buried somewhere with A+ fengshui; this is Guaranteed to work (unless your wife is cheating on you).
buddhist monk encounters a friendly cow that likes to lick people when they are sweaty (salt)
monk drenches self in brine
monk goes to cow's owner, claims the cow is the reincarnation of his deceased mother who was insufficiently devout, proves it by the cow having 'affection' for him like that between a mother and a son (licking his face profusely)
monk asks to buy the cow at half price but has no money (due to being monk), owner is so moved that he gives the monk the cow
monk now has a free cow (this is where I thought it would end) - fattens it up and has it slaughtered, sells half the meat and turns the other half to jerky, which he keeps hidden in his robes.
monk encounters a wealthy man and visits him at his house.
monk claims to be the spiritual brother of the wealthy man in a past life and that the wealthy man has been reincarnated as a human because he was too attached to the mortal world. monk claims that he has knowledge of past lives through being extremely devout and that he has been fasting for three years, consuming only hot water or clear tea. 'proves' this by fasting for another month at the wealthy man's house (by secretly eating the jerky).
Convinces the wealthy man that to show devotion he should give away a large sum of money for the monk to deliver to a holy man building a hermitage. Monk absconds with half the money.
Thoughts on fanservice (the horny kind) in comics?
Love it
Hate it
Like it, but it's not a very big deal to me
Indifferent to it
Like the idea, don't like how it happens to women more often than to men
Like it, but wish it happened to men more often
Voting ended onOct 9, 2023
The last two options are very similar but not quite the same - one implies an overall reduction in fanservice, the other just means that you wanna see male characters get more gratuitous ass shots/provocative costume damage/unnecessarily sexy tying up
