  • I am calm and not upset (as ironic as it is to say: I can disagree without big emotions involved). I am not lecturing you, just providing you with actual experiences that are different from yours since I am a bi cis woman familiar with toxic masculinity (the lies you were told). I think you assumed a lot here but I did not mean to come off as upset, angry, lecturing a small child, etc. I would appreciate if you also read my words in a more neutral head space. While we may talk about our relationships when we hang out, we do not obsess over sex like you said and do talk about other things. It’s disheartening that you have reduced women and ‘girls night’ to penises, sex, and exes. These are my actual opinions and life experiences but if you think it’s all regurgitated social media that fatigues you then maybe you should listen more to us instead of shutting us out is all I’m saying at this point. You mention being gender fluid so maybe you could hang out in more feminist spaces, there’s some on lemmy even and the trans spaces have been very welcoming. We’re all just trying to be more kind in this cruel world.


  • Reading what is wrong and then reading what is also wrong in the parentheses was confusing.

    Women aren’t insanely more obsessed with sex and boobs. That should be a given since people are diverse and I can think of several reasons why a woman would be or not be interested in either. I would scratch that.

    People should be able to wear clothing without feeling oogled and getting harassed. All genders can get harassed when they should not be.

    The system is held up by companies that want to sell you things, you even mention capitalists later on but blame the whole beauty industry on women.

    I would not bring up biology, women can be trans or cis just like men can be, even nonbinary. Just not a good point.

    These points stood out to me since they were your early ones and I thought I was about to read a misogynistic rant. Toxic masculinity really does a number on the genders across the spectrum.

    Payment processors got petitioned (from an anti-porn group) to ban games with rape, incest, and sexual violence*, and it went from there. Steam and itch couldn’t tell which games had the suspected content in them iirc, steam delisted in batches while itch had to manually review everything. Public perception played a factor in why the payment processors acted the way they did. Then you had the backlash to the treats being taken away, even gog gave away some nsfw games (but none of them had rape, incest, or sexual violence so weren’t being currently boycotted). Now it’s harder to get a nsfw game approved on steam. Also this anti-porn group has gotten other games like rape simulators (No Mercy) delisted before. So they had experience.

    *I should have also noted that CP was a part of it. I did not see that on steam but the other stuff was 100% in steam’s library.


  • Thing is, my specs are really good. Again, my laptop is a beast and it ran like 100% CPU, 100% GPU, and 100% of my 64gb of DDR5 Ram! Seeing it and how hot it made my computer

    Local llm usage depends on your VRAM, your GPU. It sounds like you tried to run a model your laptop can’t handle. If you also need your RAM, then it is going to be super slow no matter what. The number each model has is important to determine if your GPU can handle it, also the quantization. If you run something significantly smaller like 2B* rather than say gemma 31B, then a laptop might be able to handle it. Your laptop is not a beast (for LLM usage) unless it has more than 24 GB of VRAM on it so don’t assume you can run any model on it. Look for smaller numbers with quantization. Running a local llm for me on my desktop is similar to running a video game, it doesn’t slow to a crawl or cause 100% on CPU or RAM because only the VRAM is touched.

    *or 4B even, just depends on your GPU
