Dawnshine Wonder

I'm watching the movie Goldeneye 007.

The loudness wars is not cool, I like music, but not to the point of damaging my hearing. Why do people insist on listening to music as loud as 100db? it's not just excessive, it is dangerous. The "hi res" marketing is something I tend to ignore, I go for lossless on bandcamp, yes, but 24bit recording is not something I typically care about. That said I may check out some more songs on there see if there's more I wish to download, I got Ghost Town song from The Specials on there a while back.

Eh, you get what you pay for. But as for powerful amp/DAC combos, anything over £$200 would not be sensible, because most sub $200 DACs out there are plenty capable for any headphones. As always check the reviews.

Having a cup of tea, chilling out for the evening. I may watch a movie on my Amazon firestick, but otherwise, I am going to bed in about an hour or two.

I ordered Pokemon Let's Go Eevee, I was going to play Pokemon yellow but I changed my mind, it's not a bad game, but many people had moved on from older games and I've got no one to trade with. Getting Golem is going to be a problem if I cannot use the online system to migrate Pokemon from one version to another.

Being treated like a child when we're adults is insulting, I don't like AI, not ones like ChatGPT anyway. I will have to find a website that will allow me to post dark fiction, I cannot do it here for obvious reasons, that's fine, this is not the place for that. I'm just fed up of automated systems treating me like a toddler.

Your taste in art does not determine if you are a good or bad person. I've been consistent with my philosophy that fiction and reality are separate. Carry on with your MLP/Equestria Girls fan art if it's what you like to do, as long as it is a non profit and non commercial project which I assume it is, I don't see what the problem is. I like dark fantasies, they have nothing to do with My Little Pony, but I sometimes worry if people would call me a bad person or creepy if I told them what art I like, people's boundaries are different, and people need to respect that, we do have a right to freedom of expression.

Thinking about my replay of Pokemon Yellow and what team I will put together. In Pokemon, normally I'd drop Acid due to its low attack rating, but not in Victreebel's case, Victreebel's high physical attack rating can help offset the low power of Acid, in addition to the defense debuffs it can place on opponents. It can and does work, I've tried it in Pokemon Stadium before, with impressive results, in some of those battles I did not even need to switch Pokemon.

I don't believe Occam's Razor applies to a situation like this, because complex problems rarely have a simple solution to them.

Preparing my Hiby R3 II portable audio player to listen to some songs, perhaps from Mike and the Mechanics again.

I'd agree with that, well, certain edgy topics could do with an age restriction of 21+ given that the brain is not fully developed until at least around that time. They don't give people that option, though, they may do in the future, requiring legal forms of ID. But right now, ChatGPT has too broad of a brush in what they allow and what they don't. Of course children should not have access to NSFW content. However as far as adult content goes, censorship does not always keep people safe, in fact a lot of the time it does the opposite, as it keeps people ignorant of what is dangerous and what is not, they seek out less safe ways of doing things under the radar. And if this is the future of web guidelines, I worry for people, because they are not being treated with the dignity and autonomy they deserve.

Thinking over what I can change, instead of what I cannot.

It wasn't a criticism of you, I was talking about the customers you were dealing with. Perhaps there's other areas it is useful for, but ChatGPT clearly isn't built for writing dark adult/NSFW material or roleplay. It's way too heavy handed with the censoring, even if you register an account with it presumably it makes no difference, I don't like it. Writing our own material at home comes in handy that way though, at least we can credibly say what we write with it is our own ideas and not just RNG generated content from a robot.

I empathize with your difficulty in dealing with that. "The customer is always right slogan", was always wrong. One of the most cringy lines I heard in movies. Sometimes customers make bad choices just as everyone else does, there's insurance but insurance does not cover negligent behavior last I checked.

I like Pokemon. Which is ironic, because in a real life situation it would be animal cruelty. I tend to not think about it too much as I enjoy the video games for the challenge, mostly, sometimes stories demand a certain suspension of disbelief in order to make them enjoyable.

I wish there was a AI tool that could recognize the difference between fantasy and reality, not treating every dark fantasy as an intent on real life harm. ChatGPT is bad. That would be the last technology I would ever trust with something as advanced as say, virtual reality.

Is this cute?

It doesn't trigger me, but then none of our experiences are exactly the same, what triggers one person is not true for another. I'm single, been that way since school. I have no plans on dating, but that does not mean I hope others be the same, for some people, romance can be very rewarding and healthy. It just depends on if it happens at the right time and with the right people. I've come to recognize love to be a beautiful thing, and it's really our one chance at happiness in this world. Not all friendships have to be about "being lovers", but it can bring happiness as long as there's clear respect for boundaries in that relationship.

No How about Clawdeen, would she be joining us this evening?

I can't explain what it's about here, but I will look for a better AI tool that actually does what I ask of it when exploring fantasy safely in imagination, not about my MLP fanfic, something else. If AI tools are too heavily censored for that, I will just write it on a dream journal at home.

Yup, and nobody picks on us for it, for thinking about cute ponies and rainbows, or even imagining ourselves being friends with them. I like how inclusive people are here. I may not admit it all the time, but people here are generally good natured, and reach out to others who are having a bad day to try to calm them down.

That's so cute I agree with Applejack on that one. it's still an equinox, just in reverse.

One of the things I love this anime for, the old Pokemon episodes were pure gold!

Thinking of some headcanon story in between episodes of Pokemon, it's quite funny and I'd like to ask creator intent from people who worked on the show, but it goes something like this, James in response to being bitten by Victreebel probably said something like "Let go of me! you putrid pitcher plant!" Meowth probably scolded James some more about his inability to handle Victreebel with funny lines like "That's your fault! you keep bringing that thing out when you have not even learned how to control it!"

Listening to Team Rocket theme from Pokemon, aye, not my fault James keeps getting bitten by Victreebel!
