A simple demo of the three poses in ACK Wear, along with paging through entries within a pose, issued from a stationary position. This one shows accuracy and consistent intended trigger output. You'll want sound on for this one.

He's never having kids so why does he care? In the US it's just affirmation until about fifteen or so then blockers if everyone agrees to them. Claiming it is grooming is a bit of a stretch, if he's worried there is an entire group of folks playing roblox that could use that attention instead. The only reason he's like this about the kids issue is due to it being the only viable way for him to find an in with folks in his peer group. He's stuck responding to kids all day, he wants to reach out to the other uncs out there that are actually doing things with their lives. Like be real, he's rotting in his bedroom while everyone else has to work. A parent taking care of their child is not grooming, some busted 30 something spending more time with kids than their own parents however...
I've got a better idea, why don't you make an addon for Nyara that prevents them from seeing posts from children, that way he's not able to groom them into thinking they're another gender Don't believe it's that bad? Search "from:nyaraVT trans kids"

So now WoW Forever sucks, a dev on the team got harassed off platform by his followers, and he's busy claiming others are grooming trans kids.. why? Which is proving to be more of a headache for society at large, some folks trying to live their best lives or this goblin telling your kids what they should or shouldn't be disgusted by? He can't handle plain water he's in such poor shape!

Ok, a 41YD return is worth interrupting this session for a bit. I don't normally do this sports ball thing but like, I can't really ignore THAT.

It's fun when you start taking care of yourself, you begin to understand how others can find this kind of thing entertaining because you aren't busy just letting your nerves remain on fire. No need to retreat as folks get loud, just comp. I'd imagine attempting to maintain composure at Highmark would be a challenge though, I keep hearing this is one of the loudest stadiums in the league.

I am this close to just paying for The Horus Heresy set in epub then feeding the entirety of that text to Piper, having it randomly select passages throughout for me to read. The default setup is boring, asking me to recite recipes, some small statements. Nothing with weight or depth. The individual recording sessions are also.. too short for my liking. I'd rather push through the struggle with getting the words out as they should than deal with constantly tapping three different targets to move to the next session. This genuinely hurts! A paragraph or so of lore rich and descriptive text would help express far more verbal complexity. It would also be highly entertaining as I train!

Stuck with book 7. The Black Library is now permanently affixed to my home screen.

Life hack: you can go from "weird guy pacing and fidgetting in the back of the church" to "loving and devoted father" by simply attaching a baby to your chest, it doesn't even have to be yours, they don't even check

Fiddling with more Piper integration into ACK. With an hour of training against about an hour of spoken word. The results are.. ok. I'll let it cook for a few more hours and see what I get. Here I demo two Piper backed prompts alongside one that I recorded with my voice with the currently trained data.

Started the conversation about gorillas, I somehow steered it into how Jane Goodall was a horrible human being that appropriated AAC and utilized facilitated communication to commit fraud against the entire population.

My index needs to be pointing to harambe and Ramon, not the atrocities of an academic fraud. I'm a blast at parties.

Tactical approaches, an MMO, and a healthy amount of arena shooters. This hasn't changed much over the years. Huge fan of ludonarrative experiences!

A shot blocker costs a few bucks a pop, you can pick them up for less if you buy in bulk. A custom KN95 carries like an 80% markup. The various vaccines we have for this are built with critical care patients in mind, there really are no good excuses anymore to not get the shot as someone who wants to say they are immunocompromised. One gives you access to vaccines, the other only offers protection in the immediate that can fail due to your own behavior. One costs significantly less than the other when you consider the impact across the board, including QUALITY OF LIFE, as well. Get the shot, start feeling better about navigating this world without a mask already. Please, for your own sake. You only have so much time here!

The Issue™ with the green hijab lady is her ability to experience a Manchurian candidate protocol shift at the slightest mention of another type of disability or impactful condition. HIV and COVID are not the same. They do not act the same, their symptoms are not similar in any meaningful way. HIV research directly led to enhanced response to COVID, which is awesome! This goblin heard that link then immediately decided she acquired AIDS from the air. Muddying the waters quite a bit as she continues to claim LC and AIDS are the same when it just isn't true.
Replying to @starryeyedfemme
Interestingly enough there is some truth to the whole HIV = COVID thing but not for the reasons someone like this wants you to understand. They want to be an AIDS patient, the real link is in how various government focused efforts to combat HIV led to a more effective treatment for everyone. Again, they take the smallest bit of real information then extrapolate an entire cinematic universe over it.

Many such cases.
After seeing all of the green hijabi lady's defenders, I'm realizing 80% of "I have 30 disabilities but not a single diagnosis" Twitter has me, an actual disabled man, blocked. Lmfao.

It is kind of concerning/refreshing when I see someone who is clearly roleplaying or attempting to gather a following around their disability, which has always been kind of weird to me, has me blocked. Could be faulty pattern recognition. Idk, it does seem to happen a lot more than it reasonably should. When I check the account with an alt it's almost always someone with a very small following so it doesn't really matter. When I see 20k and they spend their time dooming though? Time to pull out the alt.

I'm about fifteen minutes into this data gathering session with Piper and I've already had it. Really wished I could pick my own text for this... This better be worth the struggle. About 45 more minutes of recording then some training, with the hopes that I can get my own voice into ACK. Apparently the Pixel 8+ can run inference against this kind of workload fairly well. It better.

A Sister of Battle leading the breakdown is a nice touch.

Woman at Burger King just tried to make me feel bad for using my device to speak. This has been a problem with this specific individual for the last few weeks now. Even if I verbalize the prompt she ignores it, demands I speak it. I wanted to say "there is a reason you are working at Burger King sis".

This is how you handle it, anon. The VITALITY.SYS wedge is glowing in an overcharge state because I stuck to all of my goals. Helps to let you know things are going alright even if something like a migraine is trying to keep you down. +vibes+ Personalized software can be quite the accommodation for things that you genuinely cannot get a handle on.

While I spend a few more days getting used to the new Target Computer and variable context flows I built into ACK I've learned these methods work a bit too well. Decided rebuilding manual input around these changes was needed. MATRIX and Quick Actions decks are meant for easy to adjust one-off phrases and such. A composer that uses the same features to assist with adjusting these smaller replies can unlock more structured statements. Things you want to say that require a bit more to convey than a few simple words. Planning an outing, getting the gang together for an activity, managing your more complicated social obligations. Sometimes you just need more space to get those words out. Build statements using the same variable structure used throughout ACK. Create mutable statements that adjust with the context set by your active Target Computer and deck selection, or stick with a more traditional locked composition by pulling in the word/phrase assigned to a variable. You can also organize and group the statements you create here, so managing how you'll present them is effortless. These are not meant to stay inside of ACK, you can copy a statement you compose in ACK for use in other apps as well, it pulls from your active context for any variable entries used in composition so you can offer a clean reply in a messaging app, chat window, or email. This replaces the old Manual Input screen. For now I retained the old UI and flow with an /m switch in the terminal. Should be up tonight after I give it a few more hours of fiddling.
