  • The neuro-sama thing is interesting, but I hope that everyone involved realizes that it is not about our fascination with an AI girl playing games and chatting.

    It’s more like it’s a convenient excuse for interesting people to all collaborate together and do fun things.

    If they were to completely remove the human element from Neuro-sama, she would cease to be interesting very, very quickly.

    My question here is why hasn’t anybody come up with a solution?

    It is a known problem that the current large payment processors do not want to work with adult themed companies.

    It is also known that regardless of that, there will always be adult themed companies and they will handle a lot of money.

    It is also known that processing payments for reliable companies that handle adult themes is a very profitable venture.

    So, why is it that there are no payment processors that will work with these companies?

    I thought we lived in a capitalistic society where the market would decide whether or not something was valuable.

    If you know what I’m talking about then the specific (left/liberal/whatever) label isn’t as important. It’s that group of people who have a general idea that things should be fair and equal for everyone but have clearly defined groups of people that are more equal than others.

    Its those people who treat middle aged and older white guys like shit online and cheer when bad things happen to them as soon as they find out they are wealthy or republican. They laugh when a person gets deported because their spouse voted for trump. They dogpile on the shitty comments and hateful rhetoric as soon as someone says something that identifies that person as not being in line with the current politic and cheer when well intentioned potential allies who made an oopsie get destroyed.

    I get it, it’s revenge, its personal outrage with a good reason leaking out of people who have been hurt, but it’s too indiscriminate and unable to attempt communication before condemnation.

    Like the outrage over Hilary Clinton calling trump supporters a basket of deplorables. They are, and I hate them, each and every one of them, with a passion. I would gladly watch them all drown knowing that I am in arms reach to save them like a Phil Collins song.

    But… Hillary did not have the communication skills, the charisma, the charm, or the backing of the people to pull that off in a meaningful way. She hit a hornets nest with a stick when she should have left it alone. Now, 10 years later they still proudly call themselves deplorable and intentionally do deplorable things in part because they have accepted the moniker.

    Hillary didn’t cause the problem, but she gave it a name and a banner and a rallying cry from a position of untouchable smugness with a personal feeling of superiority and we have been paying for that one sentence for a decade now with no sign of it stopping.

    My only problem with the point this image is making, is that it doesn’t matter if we are supportive or dismissive.

    They’re still, as a whole, as a group, going to be terrible people.

    Compassion fatigue is a real thing, and while I don’t want anything bad to happen to anyone, you can only save somebody from themselves so many times before you realize they’re going to do bad things and nothing can stop them.

    I get where you’re coming from and it’s probably one of the biggest things that alienates me from the left.

    Don’t get me wrong, I still vote for and support leftist policies, but I personally find many of the people who also vote for leftist policies to just be generally terrible people when you put them into a group.

    For some reason they tend to go crabs in a bucket and start hating on and shitting on everything and only really rejoicing when people on the right suffer, And while I can comprehend why that happens, I can’t ally myself with that portion of the left.

    For me, the most annoying thing is when something gets a little bit better.

    Inevitably, a leftist will pop out and complain how it’s not perfect, how it’s not good enough, and how stupid it is. It’s the most annoying thing on the planet.

    When things got better, and things are on the mend, like, celebrate the successes, fuck.

    From what I remember, an atom was supposed to be the smallest possible indivisible unit of matter, Which being as that now we know that atoms are made of quarks shows that atoms have been improperly named.

    Quarks seem to also be comprised of something else, possibly strings, possibly some sort of quantum something or another, so it’s entirely possible that we haven’t actually found the atom yet.
