This is one of the most interesting comments here. I notice a lot of biases in image generation AI, it's so subtle it's almost at an ideological level. The style of art it creates, the color and dress of the people it generates--

I can see strange subreddits dedicated to girls with their heads backwards or with three arms. If people can get turned on by the cartoons they grew up watching, I think that shows the brain is incredibly malleable when it comes to sexual d

You said exactly what I've always thought about public school but could never put into words. I've found, though, that private school avoids some of these problems by filtering out problem kids and keeping class sizes small. Kids

Not OOP, but to me the problem isn't that women have it easy. That's a short sighted take by people that don't understand. Women just have more opportunity for physical contact. Obviously this doesn't satisfy the need fo
