"Things will get better when we bring about God's kingdom on Earth", etc. etc. yadda, yadda.

Ah, yeah, it was just my SO and I. But most of the videos are gangbang scenes.

I don't follow...

You know those crazy Japanese videos where they cover a woman in gallons of lube, ruin her nice outfit, and go to town while everyone is all slimy?

So, sure it's fun. Like stupid, giggly fun, but it's also hard to get any traction, it's distracting when it gets in your ears and nose, and it's super, super hard to clean up. Like two showers just to get it all out of her hair.

We tried it a few times. The fantasy was fun to fulfill, but the sex was kinda meh, so not really worth the effort to make it a regular thing.

It'll give you what you want, but not what you need. Sorry if that seems obtuse.

It's an artificial parasocial relationship. Imagine falling in love with an Onlyfans performer, yet even that astronomically slim chance of being the one out of their thousands of subscribers who is unique enough to win their love isn't even there, it isn't even possible.

At its best, it can give you some small validation that you're too embarrassed to get elsewhere. Sort of a "things you already knew but needed to hear from someone else" vibe, but it can't give any real insight, and real love, or any real connection. It's the participation trophy of relationships.

It's hollow and empty, with simulated complexity and depth.

What AI is kinda good at is creating absurdly specific interactive erotica based around your particular fetishes. But even then, it can't produce anything truly unique or innovative, so it's sort of the same old sexytimes wearing new clothes. It's probably a decent form of porn if you don't mind the ethical concerns, but it's not a real relationship.

It kinda looks like tennis for the unathletic, which means I should fit right in, but I have zero interest.

An optimist invents the airplane. A pessimist invents the parachute.

This weekend I built a shed in my back yard, which was a nice bit of father-son bonding, and stockpiled ammo in case civil unrest causes widespread violence to break out in our neighborhood.

Definitely a strange vibe.

I like to point with both hands, and with my feet if I'm in a good mood.

Cut off internet for people who pirate... Those people are now unable to stream anything... Sacrifice thousands in potential revenue over an infringement that maybe cost them a few dollars, if that... Deter no one because everyone thinks they won't get caught.

Good move. Smart guys.

I like Focuswriter, it's a little more feature rich than Notepad, but it stays out of your way and has that same "Just me and a blank page" vibe.

That's the only possible upside to the nation sinking into a dictatorship, at least we'll never have a duly elected President Beast... Silver linings and whatnot.
