yeah the people who went Full Bonkers Ebooks were also unhinged. print books are vital for so many reasons and they were never going to go away. print books and ebooks fill overlapping but different needs and the fact that folks wanted to Thunderdome them caused such mess.

Out of curiosity, went to check out the new wattpad guidelines, and not only are they banning pwp, they're cracking down on pretty much anything that doesn't have a moral lesson and a happy ending (and can't be too violent either) policies.wattpad.com/content/

2. Before You Post

Wattpad is a public platform. What you share here can be read, shared, and remembered by others.

Before publishing, we encourage you to:

Think about your audience - is your content appropriate for the rating you've selected?

Protect your privacy and others - avoid sharing personal or identifiable information.

Be mindful of impact - content that may be harmful, exploitative, or misleading can be removed.

Real Person Fiction - stories featuring real people are welcome on Wattpad but must be published responsibly. Stories will be removed if they involve non-consensual sexual content, private information (PII), targeted harassment, or non-consensual AI/deepfakes.

Create with intent - stories should contribute to the narrative, not exist solely to shock, harm, or abuse.

Sexual Content

Everyone/Allowed

Romantic or sexual relationships as part of a broader story

Non-explicit or implied sexual content

Mature

Explicit sexual scenes between consenting adults (18+ or as otherwise applicable under local, national or international laws)

Sexual content that supports the story, not the main purpose

Banned/Not Allowed

Pornographic content (created primarily for sexual arousal)

Any sexual content involving minors. Wattpad maintains zero tolerance for Child Sexual Explicit Material (CSEM). We may report suspected CSEM directly to relevant law enforcement authorities worldwide.

Sexual exploitation, coercion, or non-consensual acts that are glorified

Sexual roleplay, solicitation, or messaging

Illegal sex acts in violation of applicable local and international laws, including but not limited to, bestiality, necrophilia, incest, or child sexual exploitation and abuse material

Violence

Everyone/Allowed

Mild or non-graphic violence

Conflict that supports a storyline

Mature

Graphic or intense violence within a narrative

Banned/Not Allowed

Content created primarily to shock or glorify harm

Gratuitous or prolonged violence that doesn't support the broader narrative

Self-Expression & Sensitive Topics

We recognize that storytelling often explores difficult themes, including trauma, abuse, addiction, and mental health.

Everyone/Allowed

Stories that handle sensitive topics responsibly

Narratives that show consequences, recovery, or growth

Mature

Survival stories that offer a sense of hope or support

Could contain graphic descriptions

Stories referencing or describing sensitive topics, in a non-glorifying way

Banned/Not Allowed

saw this post years ago and will never ever forget it. sometimes you need to tend to the place from which you create, before you can create again

Screenshot of a tumblr post by user aureliobooks that reads: My dad likes to call the stretches of time where you’re not creating “dreaming periods” and says that they’re meant to allow you to absorb all of the beauty, life, and inspiration from the things around you so that when you’re able to create again, you will have fanned your spark back into a flame. Sometimes its hard to see those moments as anything but stagnation, but he always says that they’re natural and healthy and needed—things that should be embraced rather than feared.

it is important to remember that, while seeing your art holistically is good business, it is not FOR business. it is for your SOUL. great branding is a side effect. so if you are shy then BE SHY, that is YOU. the holistic art of thomas pynchon is that he is notoriously shy. just follow your soul

I'm sorry, but this woman posting photos of her dog at a religious event in Spain and then having to frantically clarify a few days later at their "supersausage_charlie" Instagram account is something out of a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.

On Monday, a woman posts a photo on her "supersausage_charlie" Instagram account. It shows a dog at a Holy Week event in Spain. The dog is dressed like the other religious figures at the event, which involves an all-white outfit and pointy white hat.

On Friday, the same woman posts a photo of her dog sitting on their couch. The dog is again dressed in the same outfit. This time, they have a gold necklace with a Christian cross on his neck.

The caption for Friday's post reads: "‼️PLEASE READ‼️

For clarity:
the post from a few days ago was a reference to Semana Santa, a Spanish religious and cultural tradition. It was not connected to extremism, racism, or politics in any way. This was already stated in the disclaimer, but it is clear that some either misunderstood that context or chose to ignore it.

This account is a dachshund account, and it will remain a space dedicated purely to the joy, humor, and love of sharing life with my dog. Nothing beyond that.

Some of the comments left under that post were deeply disturbing. Hate, racism, extremist language, and abusive behavior have no place here. They will be removed and reported immediately.

I appreciate everyone who continues to engage with this page with respect, kindness, and the spirit in which it is intended.

And yet another lawsuit. It feels increasingly like exchanges with LLMs can create in people’s minds a sort of relational permission. The answers to the questions in these cases are never beyond publicly available data, but the conversational element feels like having a partner in the actual crime.

He also asks when the FSU student union is the busiest, and if most "school shooters" are convicted.
ChatGPT appears to give factual, including telling Ikner that the union is busiest during lunch hour, specifically between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
