Might start a web series called "My journey into becoming a mangaka online but the evil CEO of 《SEO CORP》has stolen my creativity and now I must fight an army of robots!"

Whatever the hell people would expect from that title, it won't be that.

I consider that mod a complete PTB because this comment of mine was considered "misinformation", same thread

I fail to see how removing a comment because it "was misleading and incorrect", without giving a single word to what is actually incorrect, then replying to it, is "encouraging discussion".

I don't understand why my original comment was removed for "misinformation"

I think the only time I cat-called women was when I was 10yo while playing football (soccer) in the neighborhood. The girls (~15yo I'd guess) looked back and I went red as a tomato in embarrassment.

Fast forward some years later, when I had long hairs, as I was arriving at school, someone horned at me and cat-called me. I turned around the the pair of idiots saw that I was a dude. They didn't speed up and I felt that, were I smaller or had a more meek outlook, they would call me gay, sissy, etc, before moving on.

So, it feels like cat calling is a power play against the target.

I do wish people could be honest about what they think, but in a civilized manner. I wish I could just tell a girl or woman I find her pretty without coming off as a creep, weirdo or flirty.

Gotta love how genai's main use is scamming people. Revolutionary tech just like crypto, which totally superseded banking and isn't running on a pyramid of grifts.

Remember Win Elvis-n-Space? Or Lemmings Paintball? Or even Odyssey Legend of Nemesis?

Found this little gem of a site recently. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated in a while (last blog post is from Sep 2025)

Podcast longo, quase 2 horas, de Atila Lamarino com João Magalhães, falando sobre o "colonialismo dos dados", como as big techs estão dominando o mundo. A intro é bem longa, pra contextualizar bem o podcast pra quem tá mais por fora das notícias de tecnologia.

Uma das frases soltas que achei muito interessante, "No ano de nosso senhor 2025, eu preciso estudar a Companhia das Índias Orientais pra entender como as big techs hoje estão funcionando"

Outra coisa interessante que conversam é como Whatsapp virou, efetivamente, parte da infraestrutura de comunicação do Brasil, e por isso é praticamente impossível conseguir colocar qualquer alternativa no lugar.

Greeks and Romans would frequently curse anyone they didn't like, writing it as a curse on a lead sheet, roll it up and pierce it with a nail and put in a specific place, depending on the curse.

Given the amount of such tablets found, they probably cursed someone every other week.

I was looking for youtube alternatives and came across this site. Looks like a good place to post shitpost videos and all other sorts of crazy stuff.
