@researchfairy and must always bathe in the nuclear waste storage pools. I mean, the water is nice and warm...

@researchfairy after posting a link to your thread, it also reminded me of the episode in Season 5 where Michael does a bit of light Colonialism on a random pre-warp indigenous coded civilization and now I'm having to resist posting a long rant .

@[email protected] @[email protected] ah. It refers to someone who takes a (usually very) submissive role during BDSM activities. It's not always necessarily sexual, but sexuality is often a component of it.There's a scene in Pulp Fiction where it's used to refer to a character (identity unknown) dressed top to bottom in... I think rubber, who is... "available", so to speak, for various acts on demand.I think if my explanation isn't clear, you may wish to (carefully) google more.

Saw an ad with a Black person in it that was AI generatedNow I'm thinking about the "digital blackface" aspects of AI image generationYou can have them in an ad to hawk your products, make them participate in your sexual fantasies, make them endorse your postYou don't have to hire a Black person, no one has to even look them in the eye to ask them to poseYou can still have bespoke photorealistic video of them doing your bidding and it costs pennies if anything at all

Looking forward to people scraping my (formerly) Unlisted posts and telling me I was wrong to expect anything else because they're "quiet public" now

@researchfairy Is this due to the shift away from episodic Trek to serialization?
