Or it's going to prevent some of the problems...

Note that in US, to table something is to put it aside and stop considering it for now. The opposite of the UK meaning.

Yeah, but a tiny sliver of their valuation is attributable to the durable and real value of "AI" approaches.

Just two months ago, a security team member dinged one of our services for using Lets Encrypt, as "it's not as secure as a traditional CA".

I don't see why any level, even knowing "furry" would find these particular designs "objectionable" and worthy of rejecting. They aren't even vaguely fetishized.

There's some self selecting bias there, going to a 'furry convention' is a rather steeper level of engagement than just, say, looking at a webcomic featuring art like this mascot here.

Those more hard core sexual furries scare off casual furries as well as folks a bit timid about being associated with the most... Forthcoming portion of the fandom.

It's rough on some as they want to engage without sexual interest in the aesthetic, but as a result get grouped in with those with a sexual interest. They want to identify as something, and furry is closest, but they aren't into the sexual facet and struggle with that broad association.

See that American Gothic painting? Grant Wood must have had a thing for human incest, painting a father and daughter. Why would you ever paint/draw something you don't want to have sex with?

There's a lot of folks who find SFW "furry" content "neat", like this mascot art seems pretty innocuous. Only some of them are also interested in the kink.

I know someone who is into the general aesthetic of SFW "furry" stuff but is a bit weird about it because one of two things happens if she shares some content she likes:

  • People turn away because they think she's into that stuff sexually
  • People get way too into engaging with her because they think she's into that stuff sexually.

Feels like there needs to be some better nuance between "I like furry style SFW art" and "I'm all into furry in the the way people guess". Not that there's anything wrong with the latter, but it's certainly something you should have to explicitly opt into rather than an assumption based on liking or doing a drawing or like wearing an animal ear headband or non-plug tail or something similarly innocuous.

But the point, for this population and this meme, is that they have consistently voting in the same people and the results they have received are similarly consistent, and they keep voting that way.

Yes broadly there's been a "vote out the incumbent", but this illustrates why that's misguided, as it illustrates the different results of two states with consistent policies for each party.

So funny that Musk has specifically chickened out of a fight like that.

Further, hope that like usual when the Republicans get in charge, they stop being unified and infighting ensues.
