If you notice a tiny dent in the tail on the rightmost one, um, oops. Good eye. When the conversion from quads in blender to tris for the .vrm happened, one single quad divided in a different direction from all the rest.

I've now fixed it in the actual model.

Figuring out how to make the snake tail work via blender took several tries, but it came out pretty good in the end. It's cooler in motion.

And here's an alternate form
Still with some of the minotaur traits, but a chimera with multiple other features as well

It's a vroid originally but the ears, nose ring, horns, cowbell, tail ring, legs, hooves, and hoof-like 'fingernails' were all created in Blender

Current version of my model, weird cow legs and everything.

It is the invincible meme based on the "look at what it takes to mimic our power" scene

The top panel is "look at the cow" with a scene from Harvest Moon 64

The second panel says "moooo" with a close up of the cow

Harvest moon 64 is a well-known and loved Nintendo 64 game much like Quest 64

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum.

This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

The Economist @economist.com · Sep 20

A recent study found that children who transitioned young retained stable gender identities over time. But the fact that nearly a fifth of those in the group did not ought to give advocates of irreversible medical interventions pause

How stable are the gender identities of younger children?

this paragraph here is the perfect summary of why we don't see safety in this smarmy jagoff…just a different, more insidious kind of danger

a screenshot of the linked article. it reads as follows, with the text in brackets highlighted in yellow for emphasis:

“Some may argue, as they often do when transgender people raise concerns about Gavin Newsom, that the alternative would be worse. And in many respects, Trump or whatever Trump-like candidate emerges in 2028 would be worse than Newsom on a host of issues. But even here, for transgender people, the calculation is not so straightforward. Right now, the community has one thing going for it: one major political party still passes protective legislation and has not joined the litany of anti-trans policies escalating in red states. [If that fragile dichotomy collapses—if Democrats too decide that transgender people can be sacrificed for political gain—the result will not be a lesser evil.] It will be a political consensus that our rights are gone, and that outcome could be even worse.

The reason people don't usually get permabanned for viewbotting is, if Twitch was too aggressive with that, 'viewbot someone's channel' becomes an easy way to get someone banned.

You'd get streamers with beefs viewbotting each others channels, bigots viewbotting non-white or queer streamers, etc.

Hand soaps are now being recalled because they can cause serious infection including sepsis and death.

In “healthy” individuals with minor cuts they will likely cause localized infection, but in immune compromised people it could be fatal.

Truly the worst timeline:

Hand soaps recalled nationwide over potential for 'serious and life-threatening infections'

A number of soap products sold nationwide are being recalled over concerns that using them could result in "serious and life-threatening infections."

It's trying to fill in blanks. At first it's just 'we're drawing a map of the US' because that's what you told it, so it starts trying to do that. But once it slips and calls Nevada 'Mevada', then it's going 'I'm trying to fill in the blanks on a map of US-but-wrong' and it gets worse from there.

Presumably the same reason it gets more and more unhinged as text conversations carry on: it considers everything it previously said as part of the context, so each little error takes it further away from reality and makes it more likely to hallucinate the rest. Gets worse as it goes.

And I've obviously been saying this a lot lately, but BDS does not expect anyone to drop everything made by Microsoft all at once. They pick very specific targets in order to get as wide a coalition as possible, and in the case of Xbox, even suggest different tiers of engagement.

The BDS movement is calling for people to pressure Microsoft with divestment and exclusion from contracts, whenever feasible. We also call for boycotting Microsoft’s gaming products, with the following options as tiers of engagement:

Cancel your Xbox Game Pass subscription.
Boycott Candy Crush, Minecraft and Call of Duty – flagship videogame franchises owned by Microsoft.
Boycott all Microsoft Gaming products, including Xbox-branded consoles, headsets, accessories and all games published by Microsoft-owned publishing labels (such as Xbox Game Studios, Activision, Bethesda and Blizzard).

Apparently ICE is about to start putting out ads on platforms?

If these ads come to Twitch, here's a (hopefully) handy tip when one comes on:
1. Click the gear icon, bottom right of the player.
2. Click "Report Playback Issue".
3. Select this option.

Hopefully this will work!

To be 100% clear on this:

Emails cost them nothing. They can delete them, ignore them, forget they exist, whatever.

But there is a dollar cost associated with every single customer service call. That's why most phone trees are over-automated these days. Calling messes up the C/S team goals.

LMAO I called Visa’s customer support service - the guy on the other line was like “are you ALSO calling about the video game payment processing? Please send us emails instead.”

Keep up the calls, folks, we’re definitely gumming up their works

Even if you could trust it not to just give you a plausible-seeming source that is not, in fact, the actual source,

"ask the AI something, then ask for a source, then read the source" is just reinventing search engines with an unnecessary extra step.
