  • Yeah I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to pick up their attempt to appeal to their own non-existent qualifications. Their field “was and is linguistics” (and a technical advisor, scuba certified hiker, former school teacher, former journalist and presumably navy seal). Who was apparently born in the 70s and alive during the Cold War era. They also don’t believe in mobile phones being addictive.

    If the fact that they thought “young brains aren’t finished developing” was a profound point isn’t enough to discourage anyone taking them seriously; all of that should be. Block and ignore them. Not worth wasting the brain cells over.

    I’m not reading between lines. You’re the one who trivialised the issue by asserting 16 years olds call grounding abuse and did so in the context of this post. As I said before they removed it (due to privacy I suspect) there was enough to know it was nowhere trivial enough to be compared to grounding. Frankly in the OP alone there’s still enough information to draw that conclusion.

    If you and @[email protected] can’t read through the thread and/or lack experience with childhood abuse probably best not weigh in on such matters and keep your poorly informed opinions to yourselves.

    There’s (edit:was) enough info in the thread to read between the lines enough to know it wasn’t anything on par with “grounding”. Implying most 16 years old call grounding abuse sure is helpful in a thread like this though. As if someone maintains 20 years NC because of grounding.

    Sounds like you’re doing them a favour by blocking them if you think saying the equivalent of “just get over it” is reasonable.


  • Way more teenagers smoke than people realise. I’m not saying it’s a coincidence, I’m saying it has nothing to do with the “flavours”. To claim otherwise without proof is moronic and feeding into propaganda perpetuated by governments to outlaw vapes because dummies always fall for the “think of the children” nonsense.








  • As someone who’s mostly NC with a parent and considered going full NC I would hesitate listening to people who likely have little understanding of why people go NC with family.

    I’ve heard many a “you can’t chose your family” from people when they have no idea what they’re speaking on. If you think the reason for going NC with someone has changed; sure consider giving him a chance. If you have a therapist or someone similar in your life ask them for their take. No judgement here for maintaining NC with someone who made you feel it was necessary to go NC at 16 though.






  • This isn’t your generator though, did you write these image generators, the UI? Maybe if you’re hosting locally I can understand but even then you’re using other people LLMs that take time, effort and money (if they train/test on GPU farms). There are also open source models you can use locally.

    I think it’s perfectly reasonable for the people who provide these tools/resources to state their terms and in my opinion, taking issue with that and attempting to skirt it, is entitlement. Especially if the service is online since they have cost (licensing the model, server cost) to pay for.

    I’m not upset I didn’t think of it because I think it’s a bad idea, if that wasn’t apparent. I’m not super interested in supporting perchance as I host LLMs and generators locally for privacy and greater control. Personally I think you should consider hosting locally if you want greater control/ownership over what you generate.

    Edit: exif scrubbers have existed since image board days too btw like this

    We work hard to perfect our Prompts to generate stunning images we can use— hopefully, freely and limitless.

    I can kinda see that comics point with the term “prompt fondlers” (I thought this was a Unix surrealism comic but I cannot for the life of me find it). Crazy to think that’s “hard” work but the people actually developing these AI and tool sets? Nah fuck em, lazy bastards. Also I doubt stripping meta data means you own shit and is probably only one of the mechanisms these companies use for enforcing copyright.

    Also colour me surprised perchance wants anything to do with tools that fuck with other companies copyright. Seems like a great way to invite unwanted legal attention.
