[vee-len] Gold dragon, male, >30, / NSFW 18+, knows many things, tells some
Today I learned I am "ableist" and on a list about it for *checks notes* telling a jerk that my spouse has a social work degree and extensive experience directly serving homeless people.
Some people maybe shouldn't use social media lol

Rienkarrot is trans.
They've also spent more than 25% of their life delivering aid in SF. The practices they advocate have developed over decades and reliably brought thousands out of homelessness, face to face, one by one. If you're looking for an aid provider, there they are, and a damn good one.

You're arguing against a career aid worker with a degree in social work, and your argument is your personal experience against expertise. No one is doubting your experiences, but your response is specific to you, Rienkarrot is speaking about the general case.

Ever since he introduced me to hide-dragon style, slow and so very gentle, I became addicted to milking his body dry. Just the way my heart swelled when he looked back at me almost got me there in the first 20 min, but we still had 40 smaller orgasms to go before the grand finale.

People are really struggling right now. Instead of using AI to make images, a couple hundred dollars to a working artist would help them out.

folks don't know that AIs scraping websites accounts for like half of all internet bandwidth usage right now. Sites get scraped- ie, all the contents downloaded- over and over again, destroying/wasting their bandwidth, often maxing it out. It's like being continually DDOS'd

behold the "HTML bomb"
It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to
when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and 💣 goes the scraper

Deskilling is real.
This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service.
Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.
