☝️Is there a sci-fi movie that you defend tooth and nail, but you feel a little alone in loving it?

"Silent Hill f will make heaps of people play Higurashi" I mean it worked on me but I can see how some people might find it hard to make the jump.

As I always joke regarding Australia's laws on this, I was in chat rooms in my teens and I turned out fine except for the severe mental illness and career in pornography.

Jokes aside I am VERY torn on these laws because I think social media can be toxic as fuck but queer teens are very isolated.

I feel like the problem here is the idea that 15 year olds can't handle social media but adults can

Apparently the way they got Jonesy to hiss on-cue was to hold up another cat in front of him.

Also like I don't know about you guys but my university has a thing you have to upload your assignments to before you submit them, specifically to check how much of them are AI. If it's mistaken (because, say, you have a big vocabulary and use em dashes) then you have to explain that to your tutor.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

So lemme get this right... Under 16s won't be able to use YouTube (or perhaps Wikipedia), but 4chan is OK. And this is all for Children's Safety. Gotcha.

4chan unlikely to be included in Australia’s under-16s social media ban, eSafety commissioner says

Julie Inman Grant says message board will need to comply with other codes which will also include age assurance for sites hosting violent and adult content * Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast The eSafety commissioner is not expected to block children from accessing 4chan as part of the under-16s social media ban, despite it being labelled one of the “darker” places on the internet. The eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, was asked by independent senator Fatima Payman in Senate estimates on Wednesday night whether 4chan, the message board often referred to as the engine room of the internet, would be considered one of the sites required to prevent under-16s when the social media ban comes into effect from 10 December.

A not-insignificant portion of my working week involves removing dicks and boobs from Steam galleries. Overwhelmingly, every week, the highest number uploaded is for YOU and ME and HER: A Love Story. People cannot get enough of those crazy kids.

CONSTANTLY. The Hollow Witch was through a publisher and Incandescent Girl was self-pubbed, so I hired the editor from the Hollow Witch to do Incandescent Girl freelance so that it would be the same level of polish. Editors help you fix your own worst habits and go to bat for you with publishers.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

People think that when you become disabled, support magically appears

That once it’s “official” you will have your basic needs met

The truth is people fight for years to get the bare minimum in benefits

Caregivers are nearly impossible to find

If you’re not rich or very lucky… you’re on your own

This exactly. Go Nagai is so wildly creative at all times that the idea of a setup-payoff structure doesn't make any kind of sense. He's not just throwing spaghetti at the wall, he's inventing spaghetti mid-flight.

Zack Davisson @zackdavisson.com · 11h

It's fine to be wrong about things.

"Cohesive and thematically resonant whole" goes against everything Go Nagai is. His work is chaotic, unstructured, and flows purely from the ID. Putting cohesion on a Go Nagai work basically destroys everything that is unique to him as an artist.
