Huh, same but in reverse. There's only one Gundam series I enjoy, and it's the first one I watched, so I thought I'd like the others and tried to get into the franchise... and just didn't like any other series.

I put cinnamon in the teapot and add coffee cream (a lot of coffee cream.) It's doesn't raster much like tea but I like it!

AYRT

So, you're a member and are voting and going to meetings and the like, yes?

PS: It's not Wing.

Shoujo manga. "It's not all the same! There are shoujo manga with as much action as shounen, plus the characters are better! And romance can be interesting too!" I know, and while I lean towards action/adventure I am capable of liking romance. Still haven't managed to find a shoujo manga I like, somehow.

MOre graphic movies in general. Because some of them look like plots I'd really like, but I just can't handle the gore. Event HOrizon is one of the few exceptions where I love the plot so much I can deal with the gore.

Also a lot of YA stuff that looks cool, but for some reason I can't get into any newer stuff. If I'm already into it, then I can still enjoy. But if I haven't already watched it and the main characters are kids or teens, I'm just not going to enjoy. Wish I could because some look cool.

Anime. Some of the plots sound fun, but I've just never been able to get into them.

DA

So, you're out there speaking out against the people who are actively and with intent sending CSAM to the volunteers and posting CSAM maliciously in the archive to try and get it shut down. The people including an ex-volunteer stirring waves to get AO3 into legal trouble. One person who is allegedly the founder/owner of this very website you're using to talk on right now? Because those are the actual offenders, not AO3.

Yes, these volunteers should have support resources, I agree. At the same time, they wouldn't need those support resources if there weren't people out there actively trying to get AO3 taken down and into legal trouble by using CSAM deliberately to cause harm.

Have you tried starting with clips on youtube? I find they're a good place to dip your toe in, and you can nope out far more easily than when you've bought or downloaded whole seasons or even episodes.

Man. I want to visit Japan one day buy my aversion to seafood makes me feel like I'll be missing out on a lot.

Pretty sure you can block channels on PH.

Although, Brad Jones is probably the least probelmatic person in the orbit of parody porn.

I've been thinking of buying an air fryer. I eat french fries at least once a week. And not that is it summer starting the over heats up the whole kitchen. But I am a bit worried I won't use it enough.

It all just tastes like dirt to me. Or just bitterness.

I've tried a bunch of additives but at some point, I might as well just drink hot chocolate. :p

... NAYRT and haven't commented in this thread before, but I assume this is wankbait.

I know fuckall about the person who founded Dreamwidth except that I've read their takes on problems both inherent in and specific to running social media and other websites that seemed well informed and not wanky, going back awhile now. I seriously doubt they want to destroy Ao3, or that the volunteer you're accusing of heinous shit ... idk, faked their way into volunteering for a thankless job for what sounds like a long time to set up a nonprofit volunteer version of corporate trojan horse sabotage?

And your take just seems weirdly culty and conspiratorial because I assume any website that hosts content from the public at large will eventually attract asshole creeps and trolls posting illegal shit (by which I do not mean fictional incest, underage sex, rape etc) trying to ruin things for people who want to use the site as designed.

Even if assholes were actually posting CSAM to try and sabotage the site, so long as it was promptly removed and reported as required by law, it wouldn't actually pose a threat to Ao3.

The people pointing out that Ao3's treatment of volunteers and handling of (again, actually illegal, not fictional) CSAM have room for improvement aren't the same people trying to get, idk, fic where Winnie the Pooh and friends gang-bang Christopher Robin taken off the site.

And of course there should be measures to protect volunteers and make their lives easier in place, the whole fucking org is all volunteers.

I was just thinking the other day how I miss instruction booklets.

WarCraft 3's was the best. Huge section explaining the story up to this point.

Do you have any evidence - a speck, a scintilla, of evidence - that the people you're accusing of sending the CSAM are actually the ones who did that?

Because if there isn't any evidence, then it's absolutely despicable to make these kinds of accusations. It's despicable even to make veiled insinuations without evidence, let alone making actual accusations.

Wow, I was not expecting to see this take in the wild. The ex-volunteer in question was the only person on the volunteer team with experience handling CSAM and was then kicked off the volunteer team. The owner of this site offered expertise in dealing with CSAM on social media sites (as they worked for LJ) and was turned down. I am also an ex-volunteer (I quit due to health issues, before all this started, and was not exposed to CSAM myself) and they're right that the structure of the site and how volunteers are managed is deeply fucked. And changing the Board (elected officials) may not help unless they can deal with the Chairs (unelected and more powerful and blocking hiring actual experts). This is the kind of problem most non-profits encounter as they grow, but the attacks using CSAM have to make reform of the volunteer structure a priority.

I know you're not looking for recs, but I'll throw one out for Red River, a series that has stuck with me even as my love for manga has waned. It is pretty shoujo in respects, so I guess it depends if those are the ones that work for you or bug you.

Onions and garlic. I enjoy the taste but eating food with them in it makes me so sick. Same with broccoli. It's my favorite veggie but I get so nauseous after eating it that I just avoid it.

You know, maybe this is just me, but if I seriously, truly thought that someone was using CSAM to attack another website and hurt people instead of it being an accusation that I was flinging out like it was something trivial with zero proof, I would not continue using their website.

Maybe a new couch. Inherited my old one and by now it's disgusting.

A rope kit for getting started in shibari. I'm trying not to pull the trigger since I do need to save for my trip to Europe, but goddamn, that thing is using a bullhorn to call my name.

Had to buy a replacement controller for PC gaming after the usb dongle on mine somehow got CRUNCHED... right when I was downloading a bunch of steam demos. So... all the actual *games* I was thinking about have been backburnered.

Much more boring purchase planning... I want to buy some good cheese for sandwiches, local dairy if possible, and some cashew butter for very different sandwiches.

Fries once a week for how many weeks pays for it how quickly? Also allows for your perfect fries every time :)

Been progressing in Tales of Vesperia, did a little bit of cleaning and cooking. I cancelled my day off for the second time this month so I'm a little bitter about that but hopefully the four day weekend starting next week will make up for that.
