… Is it a me-problem that I don’t feel as though superman’s design is that terribly sexualized or objectified at all in the first place???
Maybe it could be because I’m asexual, but, the thing about that is: I’ve never had trouble telling when something was manufactured for titillation in the past. Because, I have found, it always seems as though titillation is not so much about what it includes, but about what it lacks.
Y’know how pornography has either no story, or its story is of a most rudimentarily threadbare quality?
How the props are cheap if there are any aside from sex toys…
Usually it’s because of the presumption that nobody’s going to be paying attention to all the other background stuff, they’re here to ogle the sex.
…which is to say, again, Defined By What It Lacks: Distraction From The Sex.

17·5 days ago… am i alone in reading this and getting that queasy twinge in the back of my mind that “hey this writing feels like it has some LLM-like patterns…”
Something in the formatting. Something in the phrasing. Something in the “It’s not x. It’s y.”
At least it’s not full of emdashes, and the phrase “let’s unpack this” makes no appearances.
i wish the tsunami of slop hadn’t made me so damn paranoid -_-
Wow it’s almost as though somebody in there reads xkcd and knows about correct horse battery staple!

Once it’s in your hard drive, and you’ve backed it up, it will NEVER brick itself on purpose. It never phones home. It never revokes your “license”. You can install it on any computer at anytime anywhere, even MULTIPLE computers, and it doesn’t ask you shit.
Supercritical CO2 gas turbines are also a possibility.

5·7 days agoPoe’s Law. There are always too many people who will take it seriously and act in “retaliation”. If they think someone is at all likely to use what you said as a justification for stochastic violence, they will bend over backwards to interpret it as uncharitably as possible.
Because they’re stupid and they suck.
FWIW I like the joke. White people are indeed an invasive species, and my ethnicity is one of the ones labeled “white” so I would be detained too. By all means, send me to Poland. Force Europe to accept me as a citizen on the basis of my ancestry.
… At this point i almost wonder if Mexican federal leadership would give our states a better shot at self determination.
A neutron device will suffice.
Nice and sterilized of all the virulent filth infesting it now
Do you promise, Canada? Really promise? If you do… You can stay. You don’t have to go. Let all of our regions be vassals until each respective one individually proves itself worthy of becoming a province. The province of New England would welcome you as liberators and celebrate your arrival as the new independence day…

1·15 days agoSometimes I wish I were still in high school, but mostly because it was a different era… How foolish and idealistic we were to believe that dubbya was going to be the worst president and that America would ever unfuck its shit and become s place worth living in again “soon”. There was no actual recovery after 9/11; just manic delusions.
No, unfortunately, no matter how hard I yearn and wish and dream, it’s not 2003 anymore and I’ll never be in high school again. Hell, I don’t even envy the kids who are in high school NOW. I hear that all the issues schools used to have back then have only gotten worse. Even college has become a scam due to student loans. I’m actually glad I quit college to just work and pay off my loans twenty years ago.
If I had stayed in college for my chosen major I’d still be in debt to this day but unable to find work. Things would have only turned out better for me if I had changed my major to go full on into engineering, but that concept was nowhere near my mind back then and wasn’t even close to “on the table”. And now, even that track is oversaturated. The economy is hemorrhaging all its resources at the parasitic tumors afflicting its managerial and administrative levels. We’re all just waiting for the confidence game to fall apart at this point…

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do some people (i.e. white conservatives) think all Spanish speakers (especially native Spanish speakers) are Mexican?English
51·15 days agoYeah, OP, Baggie has a point. Coming to the United States now, especially now of all times, is similar to buying tickets to board a sinking ship. It’s not just a waste of your resources that isn’t worth it; this shithole country might get you killed and even European folks who natively speak languages other than Spanish are in danger here and getting detained just for being here. People are dying in ICE custody, being raped by border patrol “agents”. If you have the means, please consider escaping with your life WHILE YOU STILL CAN.
