I definitely miss it some days. I love Montana, but there is something haunting about growing up in those old hills.

I'm legit dying to be at Pax with y'all.

I know someone mentioned Ghost in the Shell, and I would also recommend Bubblegum Crisis and Armitage III as pretty classic anime for the genre. Definitely be on the look out for body horror in the majority of cyberpunk media, its pretty integral to a lot of it.

It's giving me Emma Frost vibes I gotta say

This is what I was thinking too. Grew up in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountaind in the 80s/90s and that system could 100% work for that small rural town feel with just the right touch of weirdness.

It's honestly just a waiting game to see how long it takes for exhaustion to win and knock me out.

Katie was amazing! She was part of my favorite group by far

I watched this and absolutely agreed! I could not *stand* Alison. Just a horribly self-centered and lacking in empathy person.

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

Played lots of VtM over the years, mostly when I was younger, but it's still one of my favorites.

Totally agree. I've played through 3 so many times now, but 4 just couldn't hold my attention for very long. It just felt empty and uninteresting.

I don't have a Celebi! That will work!

I can hook you up, yeah: 9299187386255160

This is one of my favorites!

Just getting up to take my kiddo to the airport so she can head back to her school. Feeling like waking up this early should be against some kind of universal law.

I still need to get Heavenly Tyrant! I keep getting distracted by e erything else.

Goblin. Artificer. I can think of all sorts of ways to make that incredibly obnoxious.

100% correct, it didn't happen we don't acknowledge the things in the hills and hollers.

0 as well. This is just to make us feel old JD.

I always loved Yar! I would watch the hell out pf this version

This album was absolutely incredible. I think I might still have the cd actually.

Amen. No profile and a single crappy picture. That's a no from me, dawg.

I found an article from 2023 with some numbers, and while it isn't (sadly) as all encompassing as I had thought, it looks like only 2 states have no laws preventing this (the Carolinas), while 8 others only cover facilities (including police lockup). Federal law also addresses it. Should be more.

This is 100% not true. It is actually illegal for a cop/jailer/anyone involved in law enforcement or a detention facility to have sex with someone who is detained. People who do that find themselves getting charged with rape. A detained/incarcerated person cannot legally consent.

It honestly looks so good, I can't wait to see it. I dont generally go to movie theaters anymore, but its tempting.

I've already started! Everything I have gone to schedule a client's next appointment I have to correct the date.

Heyyyy was just telling a friend last night about how good this series is!
