- Comment on [Discussion] What is the best rated 18+ anime you've seen? 1 week ago:
I’m personally not familiar with AMV Hell but, going to cover this in spoiler to explain the exact scene from Golden Boy and give a summary of the show’s premise so you can compare:
Tap for spoiler
The whole Golden Boy anime is 5 episodes long and revolves around this guy, Kintaro, who is obsessed with women but he is also quite oblivious. The show follows him as he rides his bicycle around Japan doing odd jobs and meeting various women. In episode 4, Kintaro is riding his bicycle and a motorcycle passes him at a high speed and it turns out to be a very sexy woman riding the motorcycle. Kintaro follows her and eventually learns that she has a hideout where she keeps her motorcycle and she is, as literally as she can, having sex with her motorcycle. Well, more like getting off, sexually, to the motorcycle in an almost nude way, as she continually pulls the accelerator. She tells Kintaro that men just don’t do it for her like her motorcycle can.

Thank you! It’s working now, wrote this on Voyager!
- Comment on Stopping the scraper bot menace 1 week ago:
I am noticing some issues on the third party app Voyager. I am currently accessing via my phone’s browser and I saw the Tollbot prompt for a second and then everything loaded up. But on the Voyager app, it loads for about 10 seconds and then fails. This is what it shows after that imgur.com/a/6oRTUVg trying to pull down and load again results in additional failures.
This just started this hour, not sure before that as the last time I was successfully on was when I made the previous comment and I didn’t have any issues at that time. Also on the same network as before, so I don’t believe it is my network that is causing this issue either.

Have any other admins of other instances reported similar?
My first thought was more sinister considering how many other instances seem to hate this instance due to political disagreements and how some of them overlap with the types who dox people for their real identities.

Depends on what you’re looking for.
For me, I loved Golden Boy for the humor and stories. It’s not really like others with lots of fighting and violence. It’s 18 because of the mature sexually suggestive themes of the show. The second to last episode is the most sexually explicit with a woman doing stuff on a motorcycle and the first episode has tons of female body imagery that is very exaggerated.
So far everyone else here seems to share the anime that is more focused on fighting.
- Comment on What's the best way to ease getting back in shape after years of little to no exercise? 2 weeks ago:
It was hard for me to start too and still is, to be truthful.
But what I do is set a small goal and stick with it.
I reallllyyyyyy don’t want to go to the gym after work, but I force myself to go for just 30 minutes. When I first started, I would just ride the exercise bike at the gym for 30 minutes. That quickly turned into a competition, of sorts for me. Sure, I just hit 30 minutes, but I’m at 9.7 miles, why not stick around to hit 10 miles?! Oh I just hit 10 miles, but I’m at 34 minutes…might as well stay on for one more minute….etc.
I have a small bit of OCD (for lack of a better term) so I use that against me for my benefit in this way.
But even if you don’t have that OCD-like mentality, you can still go for 30 minutes and do something and then you might get into the zone and branch out to other exercises. Even if it’s not a gym, it can happen with other things. Go for a hike somewhere may have you thinking you should start biking and come back here for the trail that is perfect for biking. You go to the local park to walk and start seeing people doing other exercises that intrigue you. Etc.
I have moved from exercise bike to stairs now. I do 10 minutes and I am sweating and then go do some weights. I have the momentum at that point to actually lift and hit real goals, stretching beyond what I am comfortable with because now drenched in sweat and okay with pushing myself further to really extend that burn. Whereas before I would try lifting and I wouldn’t actually do much because I didn’t feel comfortable pushing myself too far. Something to do with sweating for me, I guess.
But as I said, I still have days where I don’t want to. And I will sometimes just go for 30 minutes. And that’s fine! Staying active and moving should be the goal to keeping out of being in the slumps.
Just get out there and do something and set a small goal for yourself to start.

Doom RPG was actually pretty fun. I’m really disappointed it never got updated to 64-bit so isn’t compatible with my iPhone anymore.
I think this was perfect because it wasn’t real time combat but turn based combat. I used to play it first on one of my first flip phones back in the day.
- Comment on What's a bad habit you use to have for a long time but finally fixed? 4 weeks ago:
Of course I do! I was OBSESSED with that set lol. It was a small one too, I wasn’t trying to be too demanding but I was big into collecting the RES-Q series. But I have checked on it a few times since then.
It was about $10 USD and now it’s worth about $50 USD set # 6445 www.brickeconomy.com/…/lego-res-q-emergency-evac
I used to get those little yellow catalogues and I’d sit there and stare at this set for hours on end.
- Comment on What's a bad habit you use to have for a long time but finally fixed? 4 weeks ago:
Biting my nails. I’m not even sure how or when I quit it.
I remember when I was younger and one of my mom’s cousins told me she would buy me anything I wanted if I stopped biting my nails. I think it was around that time I did but I’m not totally sure. I do remember that I didn’t see her often but the next time I saw her, I did stop and she didn’t buy me the LEGO set I asked her for lol
I see her every now and then (this is like 15-20 years later) and I’m always tempted to ask her about that old ass LEGO set she never got for me that I really wanted 😂
- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 5 weeks ago:
Bazzite is built very similarly to how SteamOS looks and works but there is also Pop!_OS which a lot of gamers use as the person you replied to said.
There is also Garuda Linux which is another gaming centered distro, but it can be a bit intimidating for newbies.
You might also check out CachyOS (what I’m currently using) and Nobara, which a lot of gamers are also using now.
CachyOS is similar to both SteamOS and Bazzite in having a dedicated mode for gaming much like is found on the Steam Deck. I personally have not tried it but saw it and thought it was interesting.
I personally use CachyOS as a desktop on my gaming PC and it’s been working pretty well with very limited setup on my part. As far as drivers, I haven’t actually done anything and everything was dedicated and playable. Versus when I was on KDE Neon, I needed to manually configure the driver for my RTX 4080 Super because my monitor’s refresh at 180 was not coming across until that fix happened. Didn’t need to do any of that on CachyOS.
The big thing about CachyOS that a lot of people like is the speed, as it does feel very fast and loads my games up very nicely. I personally have not done any testing, but gaming has felt good on this over the last month and a half of me using it.
It looks and feels a lot like Windows 10 does but that is mostly down to it using KDE Plasma. So whatever distro you use, I highly recommend going with KDE Plasma as your desktop since that’s what you’ve been most familiar with. You’ll notice when you go to different distro’s download pages that they’ll have stuff like a Gnome or Plasma distro option or they’ll ask you when you are installing it what desktop environment you want.
- Comment on How will Google enforce the new requirements for apps outside Play Store to register? will they implement it in Google Play Services or in Android itself? 1 month ago:
It’ll likely be in the Android kernel much like what Microsoft does with Windows S Mode which does the same thing in Windows.
We won’t know for sure until it’s implemented how it will work within Android.

- Comment on erotic scenes actors and actresses, how do you not get aroused while acting in those scenes? 1 month ago:
Could be a few things:
- one is clever cuts. Film one scene and film a scene at a different time. The time you see the actor looking at something erotic, you position the camera on them but they are looking at something that is not erotic so they don’t get aroused. But you give the illusion that the character is looking at it to the audience.
- masturbation. If you masturbate before the scene, then you are less likely to get visibly aroused.
- get an actor who isn’t aroused by that. If filming a scene with a man trying to seduce another man and he fails, then get a straight guy who won’t be aroused by the gay seduction.
- too many cuts. Many scenes you see on TV and movies have been filmed multiple times. Rare is it for them to do one cut and be done, even if it was perfect and got everything the director was hoping to see. After doing that scene a few times, the natural feelings get lost on you. It’s why a lot of funny scenes that make the audience burst out laughing uncontrollably can be filmed without the cast and crew doing that to ruin the scene. You’ve done it so much that you are now so tired and bothered, you don’t feel the natural urge to laugh or be aroused. Some directors will use this to their advantage in, what some may consider to be unethical, to agitate their actors into feeling emotions for a scene or so they don’t feel emotions for a scene.
- Comment on Are exchange offers still a thing? 1 month ago:
I find more success in private party transactions on sites like OfferUp and Facebook Marketplace in the US. Not sure how it is in India, but most places around me don’t do trade-ins unless it’s like Apple for a smartphone or laptop and they give you such low cash that it’s nearly worthless. They offered me $50 USD for my 2017 MacBook Air that is still going strong. That won’t even cover sales tax on a new MacBook Air of the lowest variety.
But I posted this on local sites for my area and posted a price with a thing in the description that I’m open to trades. While waiting for a response, I go check out other listings, sometimes specifically searching for “MacBook trade” and I’ll find tons of non-MacBook listings that have these keywords and I can make a deal with these people. Either to trade with cash or not.
Some people will be willing to downgrade with the promise of cash on your side because they want money more than they want another item. And in the case of a camera, if someone doesn’t really want to give up their camera but needs the money, hey that might be your ticket so they can at least have a camera of the same type that is a downgrade and some money on top.

- Comment on What does it mean if I’m the first person my former friend turns to? 2 months ago:
Probably taking advantage of you. You seem like you’re the only real person who’s been kind to her and she doesn’t respect it but desires it and only comes when she needs it.
That’s a user. Someone who doesn’t care about you and only wants you around when you benefit them.
A true friend is someone who is there with you for the good and bad times, alike. They’re not just coming around because they need help. They’re also coming around because they want to spend time with you and grow with you and they want to be there when you need help too.
This is not a friend of any sort. This is a person who uses people.
You seem to partly know this deep down since you call her a former friend. You know she’s up to no good.

- Comment on Windows Update and SSD Problem is WAY worse than we thought! Full Demonstration - JayzTwoCents 2 months ago:
Security did an audit of everyone’s usage into our network and determined that no one was using Linux, so no reason to keep it unblocked. Most users used Windows and some used macOS, but no Linux usage seen, so why not just block it to close off one possible vector. If you try to connect using Linux, even with the right credentials and MFA, you’ll get a block message that your device is not allowed. I had been planning on switching full time to Linux, but hadn’t yet otherwise my usage would have showed up on their report and they might not have blocked it.
The security at my job is very tight. Most things are blocked unless there is a specific need or use for it. The head of security is very strict on access and keen to block things until multiple people cry for it to be unblocked and for a reason he agrees with.
As part of the larger project of blocking access, he blocked most personal devices to access our systems. My team was excluded with some heavy deterrents to it and an agreement for us to use company managed cloud PCs for all the work we do. Myself and others don’t want company devices while we work from home and prefer to use our own devices so this was part of the compromise.
I honestly probably could have made a stink about it, and maybe not even that much effort since I have a friendlier relationship to the head of security than others, and we may have kept Linux unblocked, but I decided to just go along with it and get a Mac instead. The policy has helped in ensuring unauthorized access is kept to a minimum. We routinely get targeted by malicious parties and our users are often getting tricked by phish and malware campaigns (even with training and routine simulation tests on the users), so I can’t exactly blame him for choosing this.
TL;DR: Just one less thing to worry about.

Same thing I’m feeling watching this.
Also got a MacBook Air for work because my company recently blocked Linux. Ugh…but I’m loving the MacBook more than I thought. Haven’t gone to Windows for non-work reasons in over a week now and been gaming on Linux with few issues.
- Comment on Where to get a mini or little interactive robot ? 2 months ago:
I used to have a little robot pal called Anki anki.bot but I gave it up when the company went under and got bought out and many of the features were now only available through a monthly subscription. If you’re alright with that, it’s a cool little pal!
Other than that, I’m sure there are some open source alternatives, and probably some that can be built, but would need to be self hosted somehow.
I have my eye on this little thing www.seeedstudio.com/watcher Sensecap Watcher which is a little thing you can wear and runs a local lightweight LLM or can connect to a server you set up and works as a portable AI assistant for you. It has a camera so it can see stuff. One of the features I see touted is that it can do things like “let me know when the dog pees on the floor”. May be similar to what you’re looking for? I ordered this from Amazon twice and they gave me the wrong item both times, so I would not recommend buying from there. You can get it off their website or through something like AliExpress too but the shipping times to the US are long and prices widely vary.
