Every time I see this I wish for bright orange anxiety pants.

Can somebody get a good copy of that image so I can set it as my wallpaper?

We could mail them to Elon. Bully the rich with beans.

Hey if you don’t get it sorted, hit me up, I’m in the Chicago timezone and I can give you my docker file and walk you through how I did exactly the same thing you’re looking for.

Those were actually pretty fun.

I always thought NFT would be a neat way to make one of a kind items in an MMO. Like, you do something no one else has done before and get a legendary item for it, but you also get an nft tied to the item proving it wasn’t just data mined and edited into your account. It’s not some money making scheme, but it’s at least a real usecase.

Oh easily. Hell, they could even use their scrapping methods to support law enforcement as clearly they can find a lot of material. Unfortunately, law enforcement works for pedos and those pedos invest in AI so there’s a genuine interest in a kiddy porn machine.

You just bore out the barrel insert to receive the casing then reinforce it with 100% infill in petg or nylon. It’s not a perfect solution but my experiments last about 100 rounds before things get loose. I’m eyeballing injecting epoxy into low infill models next.

Console modding is pretty fucking great for exactly this.

Holy shit, that guy uses the same skull lemon I used to use!

While 100% is currently impractical, you can actually print 95% of a gun for 22lr. You need a nail for a fireing pin a barrel insert, and spings you can get from a nerf gun. That said, you could use the same to convert a nerf gun.

I’m also not talking about the single shot proto gun you’ve seen, I’m talking about a scaled model of a 1911. Guns are so fucking simple and regulation is like trying to prevent lock picking.

This post has a remarkably low amount of diggity.

Same, and there’s something satisfying to see the files are all less than 10GB. I don’t think I own any games on pc that don’t at least ask for 50GB.

I beat portal 2 for the first time last week and when that song rolled at the end I felt again what it was to truely finish a good game. I’d forgotten that feeling entirely and even teared up.

I’m desperately trying to figure out how to make this happen but I have no idea how.

The fbi state that 67% of sex crimes are against children and estimates that only 37% of total sex crimes get reported. Long story short that would mean that 1 in 13 Americans is currently an abused child or was abused as a child. In the digital age that’s a lot of photos.

Personally, I grew up in the golden age of Facebook. I cannot accurately measure how many nudes I sent and received over Facebook, Skype, private messages on various platforms, text, email, email to text, flash drive, my highschool gf and I bought a 1TB external back when that was an unreasonable amount of storage, we’d leave nudes for each other when we traded it off to back up music or transfer movies. I can say with absolute certainty that Facebook could make an perfect 3d model of both her and my nude bodies between the ages of 15 and 19 down to the angle of my dick.

Cockroach rule states for every 1 you see there’s 10 you don’t. If my freshman class was 200 people and I knew at least 20 that had been sexually active, then every single one of them sent nudes. Consider that internet grooming is one of the most common forms of child abuse, and now we see that the amount of naked children photos on the internet is likely equal to if not larger than the amount of photos of adults.

It’s why removing child porn from current models is impossible. It’s baked in. So instead of scrapping them outright they put a small bot between you and the porn machine that tells you no if you use certain words. This is wholly ineffective and can just be skirted around by using different words that the operators didn’t think of.

There’s a good deal of misconceptions in this stance. Top of the list is that women being more than the property of their man is a remarkably young stance in the west, barely 100 years old. Prior to that, and for the majority of history, women were property to be traded and this was based on biblical scripture.

Now, ignoring the hidden undertone for now, only 16 states outright ban child marriage in the US. That’s across political lines, Massachusetts only moved the age from 12 to 18 in 2022. Historically, marriage and prostitution at ages as young as 9 have been present during the westward expansion and earlier. Most of our founding fathers slept with what we would call underage slaves. This isn’t an American thing, it was just as common in Europe. The French sex trade even inspired the book Lolita.

Now let’s look at the undertones. CPS investigate around 300,000 reports of child sex abuse annually. The FBI report that 67% of investigated sex crimes involve minors. They also estimate that only 37% of sex crimes in total are reported. If the total reported sex crimes is around 98,000 annually, then it’s estimated that actually 265,000 happen annually. Which means 177,500 children get sexually abused annually. If that’s a consistent pattern through history, that means 1 in 13 Americans was or is currently a sexually abused child.

The response to the Epstein situation shows that culturally we allow pedophilia if punishing it would inconvenience us in any way. Other side by RHCP is about fucking a 14 year old. Steven Tyler knocked up a 16 year old and even became her legal guardian so he could take her on tours. Bill Wyman of the rolling stones started dating his wife when she was 13. Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Ted Nugent, Elvis. The list goes on for actors, young Natalie Portman literally appeared in Playboy. Politicians are the same. So long as you’re not poor no one willingly does anything to stop you from raping children.

I’m not trying to say we’re worse than any other group, I’m saying the only difference is that we aren’t open about it.

Personally it’s been incredibly refreshing to go back and play all the games I couldn’t afford as a teen. There’s something comfortable about an era of self contained games meant for fun instead of profit.

Beautiful.

Literally everyone that’s ever been in a Discord server I operate…

No seriously, if you pull off enough masks all of societies problems are just money and xenophobia in varying degrees.

I just spent 7 weeks researching organ shortages in the US for a class. Turns out live donations go up dramatically if you reimburse people for the money they lose while doing the procedures and families are more willing to donate the organs of the dead if they are told they’re going to a similar demographic as them.

Homelessness? “Those people” don’t deserve human rights and they don’t have the money for housing. Xenophobia and money.

Opioid crisis? The pharma companies knew there were addictive and factored that into their push to get doctors to prescribe them like candy. This has been proven by internal documentation released in court. Money.

White supremacy? Don’t even have to explain it. Xenophobia.

Rise of Facism? Xenophobia exploited for money.

Pay gaps between men and women? Xenophobia because women aren’t taken seriously and money because it benefits the company to pay someone less.

Stagnant wages? Xenophobia because rich people don’t think poors deserve money and money because they get more if we get less.

Racism in America? Xenophobia and money. Most racists are just raised to hate by previous generations. If you go back far enough for those you find that the hate came from considering the other as property and by turning them into people you hurt the owner’s money. The seed was money and the fruit is xenophobia.

Christian nationalism? It looks like xenophobia but Surpise! It’s money. Religious capitalism is the idea that God rewards those w who are holy and what better reward than wealth? So if you’re poor, it’s because god doesn’t like you which means you’re evil.

It is literally money and hate all the way down.
