Ahh sorry I’m thinking of EU launch dates

PS2 released in 2000. By 2002, Dreamcast already went under and Xbox and GameCube were about to release.

Keep it on non-dangerous topics and I’m with ya lol

Yep. They even made a new 3310.

Uh, they DO still make dumb phones. And people still buy them.

You can get alarms that you place under the mattress and they shake the entire bed

It’s a bit more complicated than simply taking the worst experiences someone has ever had.

Every experience, every story from friends, every story in the news, heck even portrayals in fiction, contribute to someone’s perception of an event, object, person or even group.

Now place yourself in the position of your average woman. You hear rape stories on the news, probably known a few people that have been SA’d if it hasn’t happened to you personally, and you’ve almost certainly had a few close calls at least. Are you telling me you wouldn’t have your guard up?

Which is why the important lesson from the bear meme is that a whole lot of women are incredibly stupid.

Woah woah woah, hold the fuck on for two fucking seconds.

First of all, as I said before, this shit goes both ways. Men do this too.

Secondly, I did NOT say that using our perceptions is a bad way to make decisions. Multiple experienced incidents and multiple stories can create a perception of danger, and that perception may be wrong at times, but it can also be dead on at critical moments. It is a survival tactic that serves people well in general.

You’re using the bear analogy wrong. If the bear analogy was about statistics, they’d choose the human because statistically speaking, many, many more people are helpful than harmful. Especially compared to a dangerous wild animal.

People pick the bear because they themselves have been hurt too many times or have heard of people being hurt too many times. There is a perception that the bear is safer.

That can go both ways. And often people choosing the bear can be in a vulnerable state, which the likes of Andrew Tate preys on.

Choosing the bear is how one starts on either path. Then they get manipulated by hate spreaders and fraudsters.

Many do. Why is why we have MGTOW and Andrew Tate

They believe Tories don’t go far enough.

Woodworking and rock climbing scratch the problem solving itch in different ways, on top of the creative (in woodworking) and physical exercise (rock climbing) itches common in most people.

Correct. But it’s either this or literally starve. That’s why you’ve got people here saying it isn’t really a choice.

It can be. Depending on the circumstances in life you are in, credit may be the only way you’re able to pay for food.

The problem is the cat’s out of the bag.

Open source image generators already exist and have been widely disseminated worldwide.

So all you’d end up doing is putting up a roadblock for legitimate uses. Anybody using it to cause harm will not be seriously impeded. They can just pick up the software from a Russian/Chinese/EU host or less official distribution methods.

It would be as effective as the US trying to outlaw the exporting of strong encryption standards in the 90s. That is to say, completely ineffective and actually harmful. Enemies of the US were still using strong encryption anyway.

Would it be a crime to have access to the software, or would they need to catch the criminals with the images and video files?

Problem with the former is that would outlaw any self hosted image generator. Any image generator is capable of use for deep fake porn

It’s not specific to e-girls. Can be twitch streamers, bloggers, etc

Also the app is used by children.

It’s not scary in any way though? Or inappropriate for kids in any way?

Calling it nightmare fuel is quite the stretch tbh. It’s like calling a 6ft basketball player incredibly tall.

Ah. That’ll do it.
