if you're a normal person please do not play the fucking strip mahjong game. do not let the fun and friendly appeal of something as inoffensive as pornography trick you into playing a game as evil as mahjong
why did they render a plushie with the wrong texture format
Almost any approach to giving a translation “style” will rub some people the wrong way. But turning a distinctive original text into bland mush is failing readers in a more insidious way than taking a partially-successful swing at style; the audience won't notice they’re being failed
honestly, outrageously inspired to write a story about an anime girl having to deal with unfortunately timed boners
need people to understand that "I wrote and distributed a file that tries to destroy data by exploiting a software vulnerability, but it's okay because the vulnerability is very stupid and I don't like the people who use the software" is not actually a slam-dunk legal argument
I noticed from my 12yo's lock screen notifications over the w/e that he is still using all of the apps, only difference now is that none of the parent filters and controls apply

Atrios@eschatonblog.com · 2mo agoMy basic view of primarying house incumbents is that if they are beatable then they have been very shitty at their jobs beyond taking some bad positions. Just didn't try, got caught sleeping. Spend 5 minutes in your district and it won't happen
it is something i hit on a lot, that of the many, many bad reasons all the internet regulation stuff is aimed at kids instead of actual companies, CEOs, the ones actually doing harm - is it's cuz kids don't have any political power and can't do shit about it. they're a 'no cost' target here.
