so I think strawberry is officially my favorite ice cream because i am profoundly offended when it's done badly

like mint chocolate chip is a great belwether flavor because even mediocre it's not bad, but stop! with the fakey strawberry!

The sequel to Del Toro's Frankenstein is just the creature getting 100 girlfriends and boyfriends and nbfriends and he's never lonely again. Never before have I more felt like the monster is going to be fine ahahhaa

The Invisibles was prescient because our society is not only deeply flawed, it's deeply stupid and *predictably* stupid.

The limiting factors on shit like that are bandwidth and just how much you want to avoid being caught as an obvious malicious actor on someone's network. Making huge numbers of spurious requests is itself a massive red flag for the defence team that should flag alerts.

Every hacker on earth has issued thousands of requests in a short period, sometimes hundreds a second, using scripting techniques. It's how we brute force stuff. It's how we spray heaps and arrange conditions in memory to turn a leak of a few bytes into leaking everything.

This shit about agentic AI executing a cyber attack with "thousands of requests, often multiple per second—an attack speed that would have been, for human hackers, simply impossible to match" coming out of Anthropic is such marketing bullshit.

Banks are targeting individuals by name because of their "high risk" line of work who are too outspoken. This is why we need you to stand up for nsfw creators
Friend tried to donate to my Throne, flagged by fraud detection at Bank of America — bank identified the transaction as specially for “giantess voretuber Ana Valens”

I suspect I faced those Patreon / Ko-fi dings b/c financial institutions have me, specifically, on record as a high risk recipient!

This totally stemmed from a different conversation, but for some reason I was imagining Frankenstein's creature giving Guillermo del Toro uppies like a cat. 😭🤣💖💖💖💖✨️✨️✨️✨️

"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

i know there's a lot going on but i wish the breadth of how tanking freefile is going to fuck the self employed was a bit louder

the last time i looked at a pay version of one of the popular ones for schedule c, the *cheapest* unaided option was around 120$ & they boasted about ai "help" to boot

Homophobia is still homophobia if LOL is attached.

And further, as per usual, your acceptance of men giving other men blowjobs should not be conditional on whether or not you like those men.

That said? Your queer friends get to have a fucking field day on this one.

Hey so.

Lots of people reading your hot takes on Bubba are gay or bi. There are lots of jokes to be made--Clinton is RIGHT THERE--but if the best you've got is 101 basic bitch homophobia, got some bad news for you about you.

Online Safety Act going great, they brought in an urgent care doctor to caution the Brits going cold turkey from porn. She warns of mass insomnia. I wish I were joking.

Porn is not a drug. Masturbation releases the dopamine. Neither is bad. We are in the craziest sex panic of my life.

btw if you search 'low wattage space heaters', there are some from 200-700w, most of the brands look like suspect Amazon garbage but Lasko makes a handful of tte lower end and the big one we've had of theirs has worked surprisingly well for at least fifteen years
maybe it will happen today (our heat gets fixed)
