::: spoiler explanation a cuck chair is a lonesome chair, or one that stands out in such a way, usually facing the bed in a hotel room; a chair that a cuck could reasonably use.

a cuck is someone who enjoys watching their partner have sex with another person (usually called the bull) while not participating themselves, so they'd be sitting on that chair.

since these chairs are high up and overlooking the bed, the commenter is imagining two people/cucks sitting on these chairs like in a theater and commenting on the sexual performance. "it's so hard" would be the first person's comment about the erection of the bull's genitals and "hard to watch" is the other person's comment about the sexual act actually being unamusing or boring to watch. i assume these puppet characters speak in a similar way where they make wordplays and laugh about them together. :::

How or why people feel so entitled to insist that other people have kids is beyond me

Reply in thread

i get where "if everyone does that then it'd be bad" comes from but it doesn't apply here, if you look around do you realistically see it as a necessity for everyone to have kids to save the humanity from going extinct? if one or few people says that they don't want to procreate, will every single person in the world follow suit? in case that i live my life without having kids, what's the worst that will happen to humanity because of my choice?

i'm also happy to be alive, but i also have reasons why i don't want to have kids and it's not like i'm taking life away from someone with that decision.

Cara is finally taking action against AI-bro scrapers

Reply in thread

anubis does its thing by making you waste your cpu cycles and then giving you a cookie, if you use that cookie for subsequent requests then you're free to browse the site. it might in theory slow down dumb scrapers that don't save that state and parallelize the mass scraping via multiple ip addresses (since without the cookie they'll have to solve the challenge for each request) but if one's making a targeted attack for one specific site, they don't do any of that. it should be trivial for a bad actor to solve the challenge once and use the cookie, like a regular user would. anubis only slows down scrapers that scrape all sites indiscriminately and don't expect it, once you know it's there then it's easy to bypass (and if you can afford to scrape the entire site you can surely afford to get past anubis once).

they police that the guy is lying to his wife and having a secret relationship behind her back, and they're very right to police that. cheating on a person you supposedly love for life is vile and disgusting and the wife has every right to be upset that her husband is secretly pursuing romantic partners behind her back (and judging by the sitting woman's expression, she likely doesn't know, so he's likely hiding his marriage from her too).

is posing with a sign in public and making a scene distasteful? yeah, might be. but it's nowhere as bad as cheating.

that's also assuming that the situation is real, which i doubt. but it applies to all cheaters in general regardless of this specific image.

Everything was almost perfect. Until...

i use arch because i find it much easier to start from a system with just a tty and install software i need than to have a full distro and to find and remove packages that i don't want/need and replace them with the ones i need - makes maintenance easy and i know what's running on my system. it's also in my experience one of the few rare distros that package a non-broken fcitx5 which i rely on (but that's specific to my setup). and the build system is awesome. the community might be a bit harsh on people who post error messages to forums without any attempts at basic troubleshooting.

i expect that people who make these memes installed arch because they heard that it's a bleeding edge distro that all the kool kidz use, downloaded a bunch of packages from the AUR which messed up their dependencies after the update and now their system isn't booting right. if you don't skip updates for a long time and don't do weird tricks with system packages, arch might be genuinely one of the easiest distros once you get past the installation which can be tedious if you're used to automated installers.

Chinese video platform Bilibili is going global to challenge Youtube

Reply in thread

honestly i think it'd be nice to have a full p2p video directory instead. something like peertube but without instances, resembling a torrent tracker like nyaa, aimed generally for educational stuff, entertainment, music, etc. basically youtube but as a torrent tracker, to reduce the storage requirement. you'd be able to seed your favorite media and the fact that people would not want to waste their storage on seeding worthless stuff and the technical hurdle of p2p would keep the mindless slop out.

Anon tries to meet girls at college

in my first three years of college i spoke to maybe ten students, pretty much all of them because we were assigned a team project together. only one guy talked to me because we were sitting next to each other at the same class and i started a few short-lived conversations with whoever was next to me before exams if the teacher was taking too long to come.

besides that, many people (almost everyone it seems) came into the college as friend groups from high school. they spoke to each other, but you're not within that friend group and it feels awkward to butt in a conversation where everyone's already highschool friends and you're a stranger.

last time i saw that user's profile, all of the posts were sexual. many of them not even really memes. posts about having intercourse with old men, wearing revealing clothes in the club and so on. i don't think any of them were tagged, so the user themselves doesn't care and apparently neither do the mods of the communities wherever it was posted to.

no one's pushing the nsfw users out, just wanting a mechanism for users who don't want that stuff in the timeline to filter it out. why should people play whack-a-mole with people who don't tag their horny posts properly and people who keep remaking accounts every other month?

i find it dissapointing how the nsfw community preaches that consent is key, but at the same time when someone doesn't consent to being exposed to porn by default then they're a prude and should make new communities on their own.

the least they could do is tag their nsfw posts as nsfw, which they consistently don't do.

i read about black holes in an encyclopedia and how nothing can escape from them when getting too close and thought that they're a real threat to me in daily life. i'd look around when i was outside making sure that i'm not getting close to any so that i don't get sucked in. i must have been very good at avoiding them since i never saw one.

the same encyclopedia had a part about human reproduction and showed an illustration of sexual penetration. i thought it looked uncomfortable and wondered why anyone would want to do any of that, and seeing how many people have kids i came to a conclusion that people do it because it's mandatory and you are required to do it. i was very much not looking forward to the day it's my turn to have sex, until i realized that you simply just don't have to.

in kindergarten my mom was talking with the caretaker about a "life-booster" that "wakes her right up". i interpreted it as it making her wake up because she's terrified by it. for a week i was living in dread, thinking that this "life-booster" was some kind of malevolent entity that wants to kill me, who might be nearby and watching me. i imagined it as some kind of evil goblin and i checked my room thoroughly every evening to make sure he's not hiding anywhere so that i'll survive the night. after a week i realized that they were talking about coffee and that's the thing that people drink to be more awake and that it makes no sense that there'd be a monster out there that's looking specifically for me.

i don't think we had anything like clubs. there was no campus as they have in america, just a college and a student dorm that was shared with other faculties.

there were some club-like activities like tabletop game evenings every now and then but i always had classes during those and couldn't try them out.

does me sorting by all somehow mean that i need to see untagged nsfw by default? as opposed to nsfw posters learning to tag their posts properly and not evading blocks?

Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin

Reply in thread

i mean… blocking lists are universal, but the other features ublock offers are not - i'm making heavy use of ublock's dynamic filtering panel and per-site switches. one important thing i use ublock for is to whitelist which sites get javascript permissions and to get rid of remote fonts to make pages more readable. those features need manifest v2.

if firefox drops manifest v2 and you're relying purely on those inbuilt blocking lists then you might as well use the manifest v3 version of ublock without seeing a difference, right?
