I'm late but thank you so much for making me aware of Obtainium! I'm trying to pull away from Google as much as one can on a Samsung device, which means apps from all different sources.
No one, and that's probably the point. They can't ban porn, but they can make it so terrible for both companies and viewers that the porn companies give up.
Not great. Depression taking its toll on my relationships but I really don't trust the only therapist I was able to get through work. I don't think she's going to be much help.
I'm also super sick, my throat is white with infection, and customers still keep making fun of me or yelling at me for wearing a mask in 2025. I'm starting to think I'm the stupid one for assuming it could be contagious.
I mean I hate living because the world is a shitshow and everything I do is based on the suffering of others. I can't eat fruit without thinking about how it was probably grown by slaves. On the flip side, other people are prospering because of my (obviously much lesser) suffering. Thanks for hoarding all the meds and houses, asshole.
But also I think formative years play a huge part in things. I don't want to go into detail, but I was born into an unhappy situation, and I never got to go to school or anything so I was in that situation 24/7. Most of the few people I knew growing up couldn't stand me, and I don't think it's a coincidence that now I can't connect with people. I think some of us, the part of our brain responsible for happiness, or at least responsible for the things that make us happy, never really develops.
I'm just curious how this would differ from automatic moderating tools we already have. I know moderating actually can be a traumatic job due to stuff like gore and CSEM, but we already have automatic filters in place for that stuff, and things still slip through the cracks. Can we train an AI to recognize it when it hasn't already been put into a filter? And if so, wouldn't it hit false positives and require an appeal system, which could still be used to traumatize people?
Back when I was an active user, I learned a lot of people only take in one piece of media and nothing else. I'm sure the site culture has shifted since then, but I remember a ton of entries exaggerating how extreme or unique basic tropes in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic are.
A lot of tropes were also constantly referred to as "anime tropes" and people suggested Japanese names for them when there was nothing about them that was unique to anime or Japanese culture.
I don't care for cannibalism but the second bullet doesn't sit right with me. I always wanted to be composted. My family will hate that, but I don't think it's their choice.
I remember seeing someone get a callout post on Twitter for saying they don't see an ethical problem with cannibalism if it's consensual. That's all they said, and they got dogpiled so hard that they apologized and went to therapy for their "unnatural thoughts", and the callouts continued.
Unless several Twitter users plan to give them unrestricted access to their corpse soon, I don't see why that's callout-worthy.
I'll be honest, the customers are far from my biggest problem with retail. :( I want electronics that work, carts it's not easy to cut yourself on, an accurate inventory system, and more realistic expectations for how many items I can move in an hour. At least occasionally customers are nice, but policies are never nice.
Actual answer from me is deli work. I enjoyed taking inventory, making sure all the meats were dated and wrapped correctly, pre-slicing the sandwich meats and veggies before customers showed up... Very meditative.
But no one could stick to the menu, they all had to order weird shit like hot capocollo and rare London broil on a sandwich together. There was one woman who ONLY ordered weird sandwiches where each meat required thorough slicer sanitation between uses because they were all rare or heavily seasoned. Taking apart and sanitizing the slicer three times for one sandwich while the line got longer and longer.
Horrible, but still not as bad as exploring it as a girl 🤢 I don't miss being a kid
