In preparation for my #vtuber debut I've opened up a community Discord server!
Aside from alerts whenever I stream, I've also opened up avenues for project promotion, indie vtubers, art critique, sharing, and feedback... Just a chill space to chat with creators of all kinds!

Well, they've deleted it, so I guess it was just a cock-up.
I believe the Bsky post is some kind of sarcasm about legislators staying in office too long, because the article itself is dated from last year.
Happy for them. :D
Not trying to get into the details of who it was but... What do you mean "leaked commission information"? I can think of a couple of ways to parse that sentence, but I don't understand what would be secret about what I'm thinking, so I'm confused.
Happy probably-back, maybe?
Hi. In today's episode of Some More News, we're looking at Polymarket, Kalshi, and other prediction markets – how they work, how easily they are gamed, and the (very obvious) dangers of having society bet on everything.

There used to be an /r/desirepaths on reddit.
Does reddit still exist?
Well.. congratulations!
⚠ PSA vgen reference scam
this just happened to me (didn't download the file no worries)
don't download .html reference files from vgen
as for commissioners, if you're using your email instead of a vgen account I'd suggest uploading .jpg/.png files for your character references instead of links! 👀
Hiii Chiitan! Have some art of Chiitan in a swimsuit!
His choice of partner and his relationship with her is one of the things he's inflicting on himself. And the "wife existing almost entirely as a burden the husband has inflicted upon himself" trope is really not fun.
I tried to watch Breaking Bad for a while and... His whole current existence seems to be something he has inflicted on himself deliberately to cause himself suffering because of a tendency towards self destruction and a misplaced desire for suffering.
I didn't get very far with it...
"What can change the nature of a man?" and such matters...
But what if... Werewolftaur? Bigger, and fluffier, *and* cuddlier!
I can't believe I never posted this here. Oh no.

You're such a delightful artist to have in the NSFW space. I hope you find something that works for your that lets you keep posting. But if not, it's been great having you around. ❤️

I would be delighted to see my Kat paired up with your girl for something. :O

Apparently it's called narcissistic collapse, when they suffer a massive blow to their ego and lash out recklessly. It's not going to be fun.
Dang, I'd forgotten that was Carlin. Thanks for the reminder.
Funny thing is, that's exactly how it works for my driving speed, too!
Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.
There's just gotta be a line somewhere.
Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.
Okay, but cucumber, or no?
No, no, the customers paid for the *raised prices*.
The poor widdew biwwionaiwes paid for the tariffs.
User dratsab huffman asks the question: To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism". Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?
Recalcitrant Jester replies: Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis. In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness. The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

Opening text of a thread by Palantir from X Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.
Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
