Sure, but that's exactly why unions are important. It's not a fight one person can win. Turn it down, and droves of hopefuls who maybe can't afford such scruples will be lined up at the door on your way out.

Yes, and because it's so common. Avoiding it would mean avoiding a *lot* of "dream jobs". Creatives run into this kind of thing constantly.

If you made something they didn't want but still felt spiteful they'd probably just C&D you or something.

I see people making jokes about NSFW creations and they *might* know this already, but it's not really that they have to own it so much as if you actually had any degree of success with it they could claim you were using their time/resources/etc to make it and steal it.

In highschool a sex ed teacher tried to tell the class that, alongside vaginal, oral, anal sex, digital sex meant "like sexting and stuff" I found it more funny than annoying though, and I got to say "no, like... digits? *wiggles fingers*"

Do you think they'd bother bookmarking? Seems like maybe real people found it useful, genAI could just scrape it right away I assume Maybe they're doing mechanical Turk selection first I guess

Hard agree - if a claimant files a takedown/copyright strike on however many hundreds of channels but NEVER files suit, they get their right to claim revoked. End of. If there's a strike system for us the same should apply for claimants as well.

Sometimes I think maybe I should go through Homestuck again, see how it holds up, refresh my memory a bit... but the idea of experiencing it *not* in the moment it's being created, along with others waiting for updates, entering suggestions, making MSPAFAs... it deflates that balloon pretty quickly.

It's incredible that I stumbled across you having The Most Correct TAZ Opinions and you've only proved to have better and better taste in the same relatively niche internet fiction as me since then

I spent a year watching school administrators do their jobs—and interviewing the students most impacted. I spoke to @thecut.com in a long-form Q&A about what I saw. Mainly, a system designed to protect perpetrators and punish victims in each and every case.

It's very funny to me that people still refer to reposting something here as "reblogging" because even tumblr was barely an actual blog. At least people who still say retweet are describing an identical medium.

Yeah I get the feeling it might work better as a game, even for the highest degree of sicko it would mostly be nothing happening. Modifiers could potentially make it more entertaining, but in that case I'd probably have any 1 set you all the way back to start.

You know that challenge sickos like @tomwalker.bsky.social or @hthrflwrs.bsky.social's Unfair Flips have of getting 10 heads in a row? Well what if you start with a d4 and have to max roll to move on to d6 d10 d12 d20 d100, winning on rolling 100, but if you ever roll a 1 you move back down one. 👀
