I think most companies know about the this trick now, I probably wouldn't try it

It's super funny that so many zoomers have just moved to another (more) Chinese app. So obviously the reporting has been about that, and not the fediverse. But I also don't understand why people have a need for these apps to get big. A small community of people who I kind of know a little bit is a way better experience.

I joined yesterday and there were so many pictures of Luigi. He seems to have a lot more life as a meme in china than he does here.

I think that "the economy" is both too complicated and too meaningless of a concept for anyone to actually understand, so people just absorb vibes from the media. The idea that a good economy is one where you, personally, are prosperous is pretty foreign. So very little will change for most trump supporters but by next summer they will be totally convinced that the economy is better that it has ever been.

Uh unless they actually dissolve the federal reserve and go back to the gold standard like it apparently says in project 2025. In that case it will literally cause the collapse of the US empire.

Can we go back to the days where RPGs were all modable, and there would be a sketchy website with horny cosmetic mods for every possible orientation and preference, and nobody really talked about it?

Tell her she has cis privilege and move on

straight women are having fewer kids and can't afford the ones they do have

The solution to this is to complain about queer people!

I guess it's comforting that my enemies are braindead and childish?

She's always been a lib. She just gets a lot of hate because most leftists only support trans people because they think we're politically reliable

I wasn't expecting half of the comments to be complaining that women don't have to to fight lol. If you think of yourself as a based and trad conservative or whatever and you're made that women aren't fighting in wars I think you've gotten kind of mixed up.

If you read the article, it doesn't interview a single trans person, or even mention that there are trans people who find diy helpful. Instead, it quotes one random middle aged woman who claimed that her detrans ftmtf child bought testosterone from "a drug dealer" and that this did permanent damage.

The fact that our planet's resources are being used to create this is disgusting.

But, I was thinking, if you wanted to make one of these that was actually good and compelling the problem is that they have no life outside of you. Like if you're talking to a real person, she might tell you about her day, or share a memory, or tell you about something specific she likes. None of that would happen here, because the thing only gains new context when you interact with it. All of the back stories are very generic.

You need some sort of virtual world where the sexy chatbots interact with each other or have "experiences". Then when you talk to it there will be new things for it to talk about. Which means that maybe your cyber waifu leaves you for another cyber waifu.

yeah but 🐈‍⬛ or 🐈?
