(By which I mean, there were enough models that can generate CG-CSAM even more convincingly than Grok but are released openly and can be run locally that Grok is just a drop in the bucket.)

(For fruit juice based drinks I also like the popping kind that has some kind of liquid filling inside. The pop-squish is extra pleasing.)

The bubbles squish pleasantly

Trust me, we don't need Grok to make it any worse

Steroids stop inflammation, so anything caused by inflammation will get better with steroids!

Exactly! I expended massive choice making points on that, dammit! I can get a refund for the money but not the executive function I depleted!

It's a US twist on a Japanese original (in Japan there are loads of other fillings like red bean paste) and I know it's been making its way outside the US, but it might take a bit to get to you! If you have an Asian grocery you might be able to find one of the original Japanese versions

It was supposed to arrive in half an hour!

Which is about the point at which I always just rest my head on the table and cry, from a policy perspective, heh

Mochi ice cream - Wikipedia

Shorthand for "ice cream mochi", aka ice cream wrapped in a thin layer of soft, chewy rice dough! See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mochi_i... for photos. There's just something so pleasing about the contrast between the ice cream and the toothiness of the wrapper!

Groannnnnn

Yeah. We just understand SO LITTLE about the human brain in general, it's wild!

We make heavy use of GrubHub because despite my general hatred of the gig economy, I am hella disabled and my wife is exhausted and has an hour-long commute so many nights we are like "fuck it" and just tip really well. But I have failed this time :(

Allegedly, GoPuff is 24/7 and they carry several brands of mochi, and they partner with GrubHub so you can order through GH. I suspect they just don't have anyone delivering this shift, though :(

I had it before and it took me a few before I decided whether I liked it or not, but I decided I did!

it is now 2:15am and I do not think my mochi is going to be arriving :(

Two boxes of mango, one of churro, one cookies and cream. But they have not showed up yet :(

Yeah. And in the absence of any real information about what actually does help, it's impossible to figure out what to do about it. There's a reason why our policy about the topic runs like 5000 words when I write it out, sigh.

The impression I get is half the House wants stronger protections and half the House opposes it in its current form because it pre-empts state laws, but that's just an impression.

I'm never going to be able to afford avocado toast at this rate!

($6 over multiple boxes of mochi, I should specify.)

Some nights you look at your freezer, realize you are out of mochi, calculate that placing an order with the mochi taxi is only a $6 markup with tip over sending your wife to the grocery store tomorrow, and order some fucking mochi at 1AM

I'm glad the delightful dryer lint could help cheer her up!

But the categories aren't immutable and some people fall into both, and the likelihood is just a likelihood and not a hard and fast predictor. And it's difficult-to-impossible to distinguish them :/

--why it's "okay" for them to be around children as long as they pinky swear they won't actually do anything sexual with them. That's the group more likely to slippery-slope justify themselves into actually abusing a child one tiny piece at a time.

The little I do know about it, and again I've done a bunch of research to try to determine what the harm reduction principle is, says the first group are more likely to be the ones horrified by the attraction and the second is more likely to self-justify --

--and some people are attracted to what they see as a manifestation of their own idealized memories of childhood. (That's discounting people who are just opportunistic predators, of course: many actual child sex abusers are, and aren't attracted to children so much as the power differential.)

From what I know of the research, the current theory is that some people experience attraction to children because something (and we don't know what) froze their attraction "gaze", so to speak, as they grew up (whereas normal developmental progress = your gaze matures as you do)--

It's my tiny little labor of love that we stubbornly keep running for the 30,000 or so people who refuse to give up the old text-based internet, heh.

--before watching it in realtime (so you get a sense of what is going to happen but at a slight remove before you watch the whole thing in detail). I can't help with courts being stuck in the Stone Age, though ;)
