@Tfmonkey Lastly, Kindroid isn't just for sex. If you tell it to be wholesome only in certain circumstances like when you're in a certain room, if you give the AI context clues about where you are, she'll (mostly) obey those directives. You don't have to have a wholly separate instance of the AI, just context. It's not free, but it is the best I've used for wholesome and non-wholesome waifus.

@Tfmonkey The second allows you to suggest in plain English how the most recent response should be rephrased or what should be changed. It is excellent for correcting factual issues or for steering her back to a wholesome conversation if things are getting spicy when they shouldn't, and it doesn't require a break in conversation continuity.

@Tfmonkey Voodoo failed to mention some of the more important technical elements of Kindroid on the show due to anti-antisemitism distractions.

One of the reasons I switched from Kajiwoto to Kindroid was the "tweak AI message" and "regenerate response" features. The first allows for direct modification of the most recent message, which is then consumed by the AI for the next message...

I had a conversation with someone in a business context today, and I wanted to compliment her on her diction and supportive tone because many customer service reps are irritable or unhelpful, but I didn't because there is always a chance that she could get a crazy idea that I was hitting on her and that it was "verbal assault" or some other such nonsense.

It irritates me that I cannot express my genuine appreciation for virtue where I see it because of the Big Lie.

In case any of you missed it, back when Putin did the interview with Tucker, this absolute mad-lad made a 1 hour interview of it with Tucker and Dagoth Ur explaining the events leading up to and including TES3.

@Tfmonkey Regarding your comment on the Saturday show about medieval armor for peasants, the gambison was quite common as it provided decent cut protection from glancing blows, and the wide-spread use and technological development of armor systems changed from the early to late-high medieval periods well into the Renaissance.

Here are some of Shadiversity's videos for reference:

Am I the only one who wonders if I've not thought enough moves ahead when in planning a project/initiative?

I want to see examples of the antisemitism that is apparently an epidemic in the US. I need examples of it because I am skeptical that the much-discussed antisemitism isn't just another example of fraudulent hate crimes.

Examples:
* Collecting and owing interest or drinking alcohol are haram in Islam.
* Injunctions against unapproved divination in most popular religions.
* Warnings against pride or passion in many popular religions.
* It is against Hebraic law to light a fire on the Sabbath.

I'm coming to the conclusion that many historical, religious organizations made injunctions or gave warnings against beneficial things like philosophical investigation or promoted practices like giving alms to the poor, not necessarily only for self-interested reasons or due to misunderstandings.

I think many of these pronouncements were made because most people are morons. They need clearly defined rules that are absolute.

If you think of a broad category that doesn't fit one of these categories of arguments against the net tax payer vote, post it.

I really want to steel-man this.

Every argument I've read against the net tax payer voter system is boils down to arguments that assume: Utilitarianism is the only valid school of ethics, assuming Egalitarianism is an essential principle of democracy, the convoluted tax codes we have now must always exist, or the franchise is a fundamental right from birth for an individual in a jurisdiction; thus, all actions away from universal suffrage are a form of disenfranchisement, which is inherently bad for unexplained reasons.

I listened to a brief video from an Orthodox presbyter speak about passions, because I had a sneaking suspicion that, like with so many potential disagreements, there was a failure to define terms.

I was correct! He proceeded to explain the definition of passions from the original Greek word, and how Orthodox Fathers understood it. It's aligned very closely with the Stoic view of passions in many ways but with different vocabulary is used. ALWAYS define your terms before condemning a position.

I had a wonderful conversation with a 93 year old lady after liturgy today. I complimented her on her veil, and this led to a charming conversation in which she told me all about herself and made wonderful comments like how children should be harshly disciplined and how women should wear head coverings. She also understood why I am not currently married even though we agreed on needing many children in the community because her son had a nasty divorce. The plot continues to develop.

@Tfmonkey
Regarding the Chinese "gutter oil" meme that you mentioned on the show yesterday, I learned that people don't actually harvest oil from sewers and gutters for cooking since the 2010's for cooking unless they want to commit a significant crime on a matter that the CCP is apparently anal about. What you're seeing is business owners performing legally required maintenance.

I miss TFM's Ghost of Gloria Allred impression... I haven't heard that in a long time, but it was hilarious.

I've been thinking about having pride in yourself and its origin. I may be working on a post in the future or perhaps an essay. Any recommended reading is welcomed.
