Yeah, but with the caveat that this will only make the world a better place if society chose to implicitly allow this, and actively chose not to disparage, mock, and exclude those people who want to go this path. Which, based on everything we've ever seen about society, is not going to happen.

you have to specify what genders of nonbinary are/aren’t welcome

"Genders of nonbinary"

My friend, nonbinary is a gender. This is like asking what type of bird a chicken is.

It's just very hard to find a compromise or "agree to disagree" when the topic of debate is something like should LGBT people be allowed to exist. The days are long past where the right/left divide was all about economic policy -- the divide lies along basic human values at this point. You're going to be hard pressed to find people who can engage with you calmly when you're defending a party whose primary concerns right now are stripping away civil rights from their least favorite human beings before all else.

Yeah, but that might just be that no one cares enough about the FIFA games to waste energy cracking them, not because of Denuvo specifically.

This is why I stick to hentai. No traficking or coercion or questionable consent there, just a bunch of nerds doing what they love.

If you want to skip Business Insider here, the "think tank" they're referring to is the Institute of War. All BI is doing is summarizing the July 7th ISW conflict analysis, which you can read directly from the "think tank" here: https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-july-7-2023

There's a ton of wholesome consensual adult-angled 2D stuff out there. Like a ton. The concept of hentai as all underage rape fantasy is a myth. Plus if I stumble across some unmoderated creepy stuff when I'm browsing new, I can just close it and move on without the burden of knowing I saw a real thing that happened to a real person.

This is a strange question. What do you think sexuality is? And what about your definition precludes fulfillment from an AI partner?

I knew it. I felt it the second I typed it that there was something wrong with the analogy and someone who knows birds more than me would come along and point it out. I posted the analogy anyway. That's on me.

Hmm. Putting your "My Folder" right there on the desktop for everyone to see. A brave choice...

It depends on the distance, or how it was expressed. Less than 12 hours, or exact times, probably means just the actual driving time before any stops. Really long spans of time, or when someone says something fuzzy like "a half-day drive," you can probably assume are accounting for a break or two.

To answer your specific question, if someone said "a 10 hour drive" to me, I would assume they meant 10 actual road hours, before breaks. I would anticipate their actual arrival in an 11 to 12 hour time frame.

But where is the conflicting detail?

I'm calling people out on their bullshit votes.

Okay, I've been staying out of this but now I just have to: what kind of extraordinary qualifications do you have to unilaterally decide which votes are valid and which are not? Is it as simple as any vote that disagrees with you is automatically "bullshit"?

Have you considered that people are just downvoting you and moving on because they feel that the flaws in your arguments are apparent enough that they can just click the down arrow without having to type a whole essay about it?

And really, why should anyone have to type out a whole response to justify clicking downvote? What makes your opinions so astronomically important that they deserve everyone's full intellectual energy or none at all?

Wait... I thought he listed this game being "modder's paradise" or something as a selling feature. Bethesda actually made an RPG in 2023 without official mod support right out the gate? How do they expect all their bugs to get patched??

We're talking about AI porn in this thread. I'm not sure why you're going off on a rant about exhibitionism, or why you're doing it here in a reply to my comment.

See? This is what I mean.
