Well, that's crazy. I've been looking for so long. I never thought to check YouTube of all places. I just scanned through it and the low quality makes it hard to see the scene I remember. It was during the auction and now I wonder if it was just supposed to be futuristic shorts and I just thought it was a diaper as a kid. lol

In 1985, when I was 12 years old, there was a short-lived tv show called Otherworld, where a family gets sent to a parallel world. In this world, there are different provinces with completely different ways of life. In one of the episodes there is a zone where women are in charge and men are considered slaves. In one of the scenes, there is a woman leading a man around who is clearly wearing a diaper. It's a blink and miss it thing, but I remember it clear as day. I've tried to find somewhere to download it, but it was a bad show then and only lasted 8 episodes, so nobody has bothered to make digital copies.

I don't know if it still applies, but I see no reason why it would change, but theaters don't really make money from ticket sales. They rely almost entirely on concessions to stay in business. Before I shot diaper porn, I was a night manager and projectionist at an 8 screen movie theater. We made about 25 cents in transaction fees for every ticket sold. The rest was concession. The theater chain makes a bit more from ticket sales, which is a deal they make with the movie distributors, but the vast majority goes to the studio itself. Even then, concessions have always been overpriced. Theaters could sell $5 popcorn buckets and still be profitable, but they know they can charge $15 or more because it's part of the 'experience'.

Credit card number theft is surprisingly common. My merchant account had to be reset, and I almost lost it completely, because some thieves used it to process thousands of random credit card numbers. The way it works is they steal inactive credit cards from people's mail. The first 10 digits are considered a batch, so they create a database of credit/debit card numbers using the first 10 digits and adding in the rest. They run these numbers through some website's merchant account to see what errors are given. If it says the card is inactive, they delete that number. If it gives any other error (typically that personal info doesn't match), they know the card is active and open to scam. The problem for the merchant account owner is each attempted transaction costs them about 35 cents, which adds up fast when running 999,999 different numbers. It cost me nearly $20k in fees before a block was implemented. Gas station scanners are one way for small time crooks to steal your info, but there are certainly other ways for it to happen without you making any mistakes. On a side note, identity theft insurance is also a scam. Every one of them I've seen has fine print in the terms of service that say they don't cover identity theft perpetrated by a family members or anyone you've ever lived with. Those two people are responsible for about 99.9% of all identity theft. Companies like Lifelock are selling a product that rarely has to pay out.

AI, like any tool, has it's positives and negatives. Unfortunately, the folks that created the AIs refused to self-regulate their use, which led to rampant abuse and an overwhelmingly negative view of the product they want to sell. They shot themselves in the foot. Negatives: - Scammers are using them at record numbers to rob people of their life savings. - Generative AI uses a lot of resources. This can be managed by investing into proper cooling equipment, but they would rather save money by abusing local water supplies. - Used to spread massive amounts of disinformation, which has real world consequences. Positives: - AI has allowed disabled people to do things they've never been able to do before. - Several models have been developed to help doctors diagnose patients. In their first large scale test, the AI improved accurate diagnosis by 30-50%. *See anecdote below* - Like Photoshop, it can allow creative people who can't afford Hollywood style special F/X to share their vision. This one comes with the caveat that it remain a tool and not the sole creator. Anecdotally: I was having a lot of health issues over the last few years. A friend who is working on a medical AI model with his university asked if I would like him to put my medical records through the AI and see what it said. I agreed and the AI suggested I get tested for colon cancer. My doctor insisted it wasn't necessary, so I paid out of pocket for a Cologuard test. That came back Abnormal, which convinced my doctor to refer me for a colonoscopy. They found stage 3a colorectal cancer, so I went through nearly six months of targetted treatment, two surgeries, and I've been in continued treatment for a year now. All of that is to say the medical AI model saved my life, because it definitely would have progressed to stage 4, and the end of my life, if I hadn't gotten tested when I did.

I agree it is a spectrum, but I prefer not to think of it as a straight line between the definitions. It's more like a circle with plot points. On one side you have ageplayers, and on the other you have diaper fetishists. At the top, you have people who simply like how diapers feel - be that physically or emotionally. At the bottom, you have those that enjoy the humiliation of being put in diapers without any direction attraction to them. I would say you're just somewhere in the middle. If you really want to title it, I would just say diaper fetishist. The most common definition of a fetish is a sexual attraction to an inanimate object, but that is just the first definition. It's also a strong interest in something that is not commonly a point of interest for most. For example, someone who is obsessively tidy might have a fetish for cleanliness, or buying everything in the color green would be a fetish for the color green. Wearing diapers by choice, without an actual need, would be a fetish for diapers. Even if it isn't sexual.

Well done. Nice video and catchy tune. I don't know what percentage of this is AI, but this is what I would consider an appropriate use - as a tool to enhance a project.

You say double-sided tape is a pain to use, but I've found it the best option. Not just regular tape though. Get a roll of carpet tape. It's as wide as Duck tape. Oddly enough, the brand of carpet tape I use is Duck. Cut off about two inches for each end of the booster. The rolls I buy are 42 ft long, so they last for months and months. With carpet tape, the booster isn't going anywhere.

As far as door-to-door solicitors, there are several things they do to avoid the signs. They will act like they didn't see it, because they are just a request and not enforceable by law. They will look at their phone or act like they're looking at information on a clipboard. I had a guy trying to sell water filters at my door the other day. My no solicitors sign is right by the door and you have to see it to press the doorbell. When I answered, he started asking me about a sticker in the window of my truck and asking where I got it, because his brother would love it. After that, he was like "While I'm here, how is your home water filter situation?" I just closed the door. While some of them may be oblivious, I think most of them are just ignoring the signs to try for a sale. Also, any time they say they're doing work for your neighbor, they're lying. They're just in your neighborhood that day and telling you that your neighbor trusts them earns them brownie points. When it comes to IT and tech support, that is one I understand. I had an issue with a Razer product not working correctly after they updated the software. Their support person asked me two very dumb questions. First, they asked if I had updated the software to the newest version. Yes, dummy. It was that update that caused the problem. That was in my report. Second, they asked me to send them a screenshot of it not working. Huh? It's a physical device. I would need to shoot a video of me using the device and nothing on the screen responding to show that it isn't working. How is a screenshot going to help? To be fair, I think this was the result of companies requiring support people to follow certain guidelines, even if those guidelines make them look stupid. It doesn't exactly inspire confidence in their customers though.

I actually love Little Caesars when it's hot. It's probably the only pizza from a chain that isn't good reheated or cold.

I game on my PC, which is a couple years old but still good enough. It's attached to two 36" 4k monitors. I use a mouse and Razer Tartarus Pro, because I hate using the keyboard. I also have a Meta Quest 3 VR headset that I use for working out. You might be surprised at the sweat you can work up boxing digital avatars.

The crime is nonexistent, because it's a fake story. A lot of those going around these days.

I recently upgraded my S22 for the S26 Ultra. I didn't need to, because my phone was fine, but I kept hearing from people I respect saying the camera on the S26 is next level amazing. I shoot videos for a living, so I use a dedicated camcorder. That camcorder cost me nearly $5k ten years ago. The S26 camera is the first phone camera that beats it in sheer video quality. For me, it was well worth the $1500 cost.

Thank you for saying that. I think water is delicious, and I'm tired of people insisting water has no taste. It absolutely does!

This is the companies that provide POS modules pushing this idea. They're overwhelmingly owned by banks and want you to spend money and tip with your card. The more you tip, the more the bank makes. Remember, the bank keeps an average of 1.5% of every transaction. Those posts are rage baiters trying to make money on social media by posting outrageous stuff like this. This mostly comes from people working in states with Tipped Minimum Wage. Current Federal Minimum Wage is $7.25, but Tipped Minimum Wage is $2.13. Those people making $2.13 an hour are supposed to make up the difference in tips. If people don't tip, they are essentially working for free. Corporate greed at its finest. All that being said, I agree that tipping has become ridiculous. The only solution is to pay service workers more money, and abolish Tipped Minimum Wage, so tipping can go back to being an occasional bonus for particularly good service. That's just my $0.02
