Been queueing the Heavensward alliance raids lately because I didn't get the minions the first time, and I keep rolling like shit on need. 😭 may try queueing on Primal over Crystal tonight and see if that helps somehow.

Don't suppose anyone out there wants to help me run it unsynced? #ff14 #ffxiv

Since my Twitter is locked, I always forget that people don't know it's me QRTing them, and then I get paranoid that I'm making THEM paranoid.

I'm sorry, person commenting on the state of fandom, I didn't mean to make you panic with my QRT. 😭

Hello! Would love some more Final Fantasy XIV mutuals! I'm on Rafflesia as a Miqo'te melee DPS main, and I'm working my way through Stormblood.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Plan for my night: Finish a book while soaking in the tub, then write for an hourish? Then beat the post-Dragonsong storyline in FF14.

No spoilers here, but the Critical Role Radio City live show was AMAZING. I can't wait to relive it once it hits streaming!

I find this encouraging, from @indivisible.org:

A defining feature of an emerging authoritarian regime is that it makes the opposition feel like shit on a daily basis. Every day, there is some new atrocity committed; some new institution attacked; some new democratic norm demolished. Some of it -- much of it -- we have little ability to stop in the moment.

But that’s not how to measure the health of an anti-authoritarian movement. Instead, we should measure it this way:

Are we more unified than we were before?
Are we bigger than we were before?
Are our tactics proliferating?
Is the regime’s popularity falling?

I didn't realize there were more quests for my ARR relic weapon and I'm on my sixth book right now and am ready to lose it. Solo dungeon runs are fun. But the FATEs are killing me.
