In this case, it's not; but even if it were, does that limit the ability of a text to explore interesting themes? Why? I'd recommend reading deeper into the scholarly literature of…

I don't really know how to respond to the idea that the fact anime includes fanservice means it can't deal with sensitive topics at the same time.

'Pedophilic undertones' doesn't relate to 'trashy' or 'harem', even if you read the anime that way. In fact, it can be extremely interesting to see something which is so rarely por…

I imagine the support for more recent Google Pixel phones specifically is better (existent).

The article specifically mentions "successfully aging" as a term to avoid if possible.

Again, I can't see those things as necessarily bad in any kind of global sense that applies to everyone, unless you claim to know what's best for everyone. Escapism might be a prob…

Even if they were a 'cult of sexuality' - what exactly is the harm here? I'm always struck by how, even on HN, there is a current of moral busybodies who, often without understandi…

"Exposed to furries"? Come on. It's a subculture like any other, but one which (for fairly stupid reasons in my opinion) faces bullying and harassment. Where do you draw the line b…

4chan has an extensive list of rules; only the /b/ (Random) board is exempt from most of them - with the caveat, they say, that the moderators of that board are also exempt from ab…

Pithy comment, but it's a shame that the state is regulating comic materials in the interest of 'child safety' without anything to back it.

There are citations both for and against falsificationism at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy[0]; quoting: "Popper’s demarcation criterion has been criticized both for exclu…

>It's their country. You don't get to feel "bullied" for them not wanting foreigners there. Why shouldn't I? You don't get to dictate how I "get" to feel. The very idea of racism a…

I agree with you, but in some jurisdictions the distance between stuff generated with AI and actual photographs of child abuse are treated rather closely; either way, possessing ei…

That's funny; I immediately thought of BQN when I saw this character pop up on HN :)

When I went in 2018, I loved the 'creepy otaku stores', maybe because I am a bit of an otaku, hah. To each their own.

I use locally hosted LLM models for roleplaying almost exclusively, and I've found that the only acceptable models for that use case are 30B or larger (though the jump between a 40…

That's fine with me, so long as they don't get a PS3 or newer.

I already had those eight hours (after work, before sleeping) to myself, and as much as I appreciate the fact that modern conveniences make it easier to squeeze as much as I can ou…

I don't think anyone disputes that such metrics are better than before; the issue is staying complacent with what we have in a world where we are seeing yet another wave of potenti…

Although that's true, it's important to acknowledge that you've shifted the conversation from time, which was the original topic, to merely having things in a world where most peop…
