I use https://12ft.io/ to get past most (not all) paywalls. It works for this article.

Ah. I saw "past tense" and assumed. :D

I can't seem to connect.

I’m noticing that I haven’t completed nearly as many of the personal aspirations I thought I would have marked off by now.

Wait'll you reach almost-60. My "future bingo card" has barely had any boxes marked at all.

I'm pretty sure that lazysoci.al is women-friendly, though.

Ah. The patsy. Got it.

Interesting. I had the same advice in mind for you. Amazing how that works.

Buh-bye idiot guy.

Oh, I'm aware that "no assholes" is an impossible dream. But if I start seeing assholes and idiots increasingly attached to specific instances, it's incentive to perhaps just drop that instance. Different instances have different moderation policies and different target communities. For example "hilariouschaos" is an instance for people who've never left that 13-year old sniggering stage where "bewbs" is a word with intrinsic hilarity. So I can axe them comfortably.

Especially if the image is poisoned.

There's a few things here that tell me it's probably not copyright-theft-generated. The big one that's easy to explain is the tail. The tail starts off from behind the mouse, snakes in front of the cloak and background (so far so good), but then, here's the critical thing, passes behind the fern staff and continues on the other side of it, positioned properly and in continuity.

Copyright-theft-generators have tremendous problems with this because, as the chorus goes, they don't understand anything. There is no mental model of "a tail" with them. There is no thought of a tail's properties, so keeping a tail contiguous while passing across barriers is very hard for them.

Kreepy Kaptain Ketamine.

Huh. This is what the consequences of my actions taste like.

That's what Kaptain Ketamine should be saying, but won't.
