There is a whole religion based on wanting to stop wanting.

Also I just tried to comment on a post on lemmy.world and got an error message saying language not allowed.

plot twist: it isn’t the same guy in every panel.

I have read it here: https://www.washingtonblade.com/2026/01/30/two-chinese-men-detained-over-ai-generated-picture-of-pandas-engaging-in-same-sex-behavior/

at least three similar incidents have occurred in Chengdu recently, all involving netizens posting on social media linking Chengdu with homosexuality, resulting in legal repercussions. This isn’t just about giant pandas. I think the local police’s reaction was somewhat excessive,” said Renn Hao, a Chinese queer activist. “The content was actually praising Chengdu’s inclusivity, and there was no need to punish them with regulations like ‘maliciously spreading false information.’”

“This situation reflects the strict censorship of LGBT related content in the area,” they added. “This censorship makes LGBT-related content increasingly invisible, and people are even more afraid to post or mention it. This not only impacts the LGBTQ+ community in China but also hinders public understanding and awareness of this group.”

more context I’ve read from: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/01/21/china-gay-panda-chengdu/

Wang Xuetang, a lawyer with J. Tongue Law Office in Shenzhen, says the suspects in the “gay pandas” case were penalized not for rumormongering, but for the AI-modified news photo they produced.

“This case has been described as a stigmatization of Chengdu, because many netizens joked that homosexuality is so widespread in the city that even pandas there turned gay.

Officials appear to be trying to erase Chengdu’s unofficial queer capital status, he said.

Wang noted that most of the Chengdu cases were defined as “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” a vaguely-defined criminal offense that has often been used to control speech and deter dissent.

“There used to be a vibrant gay scene in Chengdu, and LGBTQ people there were highly visible and welcomed,” said Kenneth Cheung, a Hong Kong-based activist who founded the LGBTQ+ rights group Rainbow China. “Now, that culture increasingly faces challenges,” especially following the recent detentions, he said.

Just yesterday I was reading about those two guys arrested in China for using AI to make images of gay pandas having sex… great prospects for all furries and LGBT fans of China (which also has such wonderful scores on feminism). It also works for the people praising the establishment of more dogmatic conservative religious groups in western countries because it’s so progressive to do so, but you can’t mention this on Leopards Ate My Face…

Insult isn’t even a crime :P

edit: Shouldn’t be a crime.
Unpopular Opinion: Adults that can’t handle insults are overgrown children. Most of the time insults are to the detriment of the person insulting anyway.

You know that thing on video games that stuff is only rendered when the player is looking at it? A simulated universe could probably save a lot of energy by implementing something like that, like particles behaving like waves until observed.

A simulated universe would probably have some hard caps introduced to reduce computational needs, like some minimum temperature things can reach or max velocity.

if you set up a pi-hole you aren’t sending any data to Microsoft because you are using Linux though… unless you are talking about server in which there are devices running Windows…

I get your point, and I was actually kinda playing devil’s advocate here, I really thought I’d be the one getting downvoted lol

You mean a record of collective experience painting a bigger picture about a subject may be more valued than a single anecdotal account?
Ask a white middle class boomer how was growing up in the American 50s and he might say it was a great time based on his experience… a black person might give a different perspective…

I believe more often than not a quick Google search may provide more information than someone you are talking to. I’d take a Google search over 99% of what any of my relatives have to say about any subject :P

As Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Switchblade Sisters, Sex & Fury, gosh, I love those cheap exploitation movies.

Charlie’s Angels is just a PG version of The Doll Squad, which is a real Tarantino influence.

OP looking for that real FPS thrill

Hi, I’m creating a site for my pets and I just finished his page, so if you are interested check it out: https://pirahxcx.neocities.org/pets/saibot (there are only two profiles ready so far, so not much to see yet :P)

Thanks everyone for the replies. I see there is a lot of features that I have no use for so I never explored (controller stuff, cloudsave, social features, achievements, etc)… I guess auto updates are cool though, but I only play old games anyway :P

Uh, building it turned out way harder than I thought (especially making an interactive map on the main page), but Dali profile is almost done https://pirahxcx.neocities.org/pets/dali

This is only true if you’re selling Steam product keys,

While Steam does claim that, there were two previous lawsuits in the USA saying otherwise, and I couldn’t find any other info online, nor how they ended up… and they also have that thing that if you are going to make a sales promotion on another platform you have to warn Steam so they can do it first… if in fact you can’t sell cheaper on a platform that charges you less, that’s top assholeness.

Amelia wasn’t AI-generated, she was literally goverment-generated for a stupid game saying you should mind your own business instead of watching and sharing content online or you can be arrested (people are just using AI to create more art with the character, but the character was created by the government). In the game the content was anti-immigration stuff and Amelia the girl trying to get the main character to get involved, so some dumbass just gave them a waifu lol
The game however basically tells you have to choose between being a racist or accepting 1984-surveillance (which UK is already doing anyway). Really great government propaganda.

Just brought him back from the vet, he had to do a thorax drainage and spent two days taking IV diuretics, but he will complete the treatment at home, and on Monday we’re gonna x-ray him to see what is wrong (we’re guessing heart, but because of the liquids the previous x-ray couldn’t see properly), but he is fine now.
He eats normal cat food, but I was going there twice a day just to give him Churu (motherfucker won’t eat from the bowl, he needs to taste our servitude). I actually took a picture yesterday:

Hey, it’s been a long while I’ve been thinking about making a website for my pets (I currently take care of 35 cats and 4 dogs), and I started working on it for real the other day. Gonna see if today I make a profile for him and his brother (https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/62154428). Let me know If you are interested, then I will link it when it’s ready.
