I've reached a middle age grump where I'll call them a fuckwit at the top of my lungs.

Going through a red light / green man should legally allow me to do so much more to their shitty little VW

I forgot just how bad drivers are in Manchester city center on a Saturday night.

Genuinely surprised how few fatalities there are each year... Because they're an extra special breed of selfishly dangerous cunts

I'm so sorry to hear that - I'll be available by TG DM if you need an ear to chew.

Any artists out there be able to recommend a good hand brace/ wrap for drawing?

I use a wacom tablet often and have been drawing traditionally a bit this weekend.

My hand (little finger and the palm in that area) is really painful :(

It's not carpal tunnel - more a pressure point from tablet use

Dirty fucking nonce who was bailed out by the royal family - to give him his full title

Great, so payment processors can obliterate an artist’s whole career if they even mention adult content, but the richest dipshits in the world can get infinity billion dollars in investment for The Computer That Jerks You Off.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

I'm pretty certain ( and extremely hopeful) it's just a regular old horse chestnut (Conker) shell stuck in this mans anus.

Never thought I'd write that, yet here we are.

Is it just me - or does this graphic on the BBC look like the case collapse is basically due to the fact that labour won the election... not the further reasons outlined in the semi-functional (I managed to break it) scrolling graphic.
