I remember seeing a video clip online from Futurama, and it felt so eerily similar to something like this. Considering the show's made by the same mind behind the show that predicts the future... I feel really bad for her daughter. AI should not be utilized to care for your children for you.

I am very close to quitting the internet entirely. This age verification dystopia is genuinely making me so fucking tired. I genuinely do not have the mental strength to deal with this shit anymore. 🫩💔 (This is not on the Discord account I use often. Thankfully.)

I honestly just don't get it. One of the few things Discord asks of you when you register a new account is your date of birth. I'm literally pushing 22. HOW am I a fucking teen? That makes no sense whatsoever. Is my DoB not enough for you? I guess it all boils down to stupid, stupid AI, it seems.

The whole age verification dystopia is making me feel tired and hopeless. I just feel like, even if we fight back against the many changes companies make, even if we make our voices heard, even if we think of a solution... They're not going to listen. They'll just go ahead and implement anyways.

After seeing that NewPipe has an announcement at the top of their page regarding Google gaining more control over our phones, I feel like this is much more serious than I thought it would be. This is greatly damaging me psychologically, mentally and emotionally. I can't take this all in anymore.

2 days ago, a month after I permanently quit Roblox, I quit DeviantArt. Since then, I feel relieved. I'll start posting my art on Newgrounds from now on; strict anti-AI policies are really awesome for actual artists seeking a place to show off the great work and effort they put into their creations.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't get the Switch 2 due to all of the controversy surrounding Nintendo and their anti-consumer practices. In fact, as of now, I still don't have the console and I'm already happy enough with my Switch 1. But, there's one thing I know for certain. I WANT KIRBY AIR RIDERS.

It's insane how they're forcing us to verify our age to even speak in-game on Roblox by 2026. They're totally not collecting kids' data or anything. You know, a practice heavily frowned upon? I continue to have the feeling that this was clearly never about protecting kids. 💔

reCaptcha is psychologically damaging me right now. I'm trying to get to my Newgrounds profile so that I can continue playing a game I was playing on there recently, and every time I actually do complete the Captcha, it wants me to verify AGAIN and again and again. What's the fucking point anymore?

I personally think that, despite my negative opinion on verification systems, Cloudflare is the much better one, because all it takes is a simple click and you're through. reCaptcha wants you to solve puzzles, and almost every time you select the squares correctly, it says you're WRONG.

I keep getting fetish artwork in my DeviantArt feed. I have not viewed any suggestive artwork on my account. One time, while NOT SIGNED IN, I was about to go off-site on DA, and was immediately flashed by the Shop picture. Not sure if I want to use DA again, especially considering they support AI.

R.A. Cereal Box
@raycerealbox.bsky.social

Keep in mind that DeviantArt often flags artwork considered very inappropriate as mature. The Shop picture I was flashed with was UNFILTERED AND UNCENSORED, which I find to be a very huge and troubling problem. If this is what you see when signed OUT, then I recommend you guys avoid this website.

It personally feels somewhat unreal how close the Switch 2 launch date is. Not gonna want it though. Genuinely no problem with the console's price, but the games are personally unaffordable, and some of them—bear with me here—don't seem worth the price. The console does look promising though.

So basically, a cubecat OC is a type of fan-made object show character popularized by the logo-editing community. I found out about this during my extensive research on random stuff. They often have a badge on the top corner of their head, usually a cross, though this is not always a requirement.

R.A. Cereal Box
@raycerealbox.bsky.social

What makes my cubecat OC unique in a way is that instead of a cross, it's a star that's in the top corner. I personally think the cubecat OC has a cool design and is genuinely harmless. I've met, know of, and am even friends with a fair share of users that have this type of character as their OC.

Does it feel like we're living in an AI dystopia? Why is every single company encouraging AI, while AI is actively being used to steal and vandalize genuine creativity and actual criminal activity? I used to see a whole lot of creativity everywhere online. Can't trust shit on the internet now. 💔

Bro, I love using Krita for pixel animations and stuff. But sometimes, it's hard to work with. Lately, I've been trying to work on this relatively small animation project, and after several tweaks, the program decides to stop responding, and I lose all my progress. It's kinda fuckin irritating.

R.A. Cereal Box
@raycerealbox.bsky.social

Making pixel animations in Krita, especially when using the squash-and-stretch technique, is always so fun to do. It helps that old Flash animations from the 2000s-early 2010s are major inspirations, one of these animations being Super Mario Bros. Z.

Chocolate Fudge Brownie slaps fr 🔥 My favorite ice cream flavor from Ben & Jerry's, though, is Dirt Cake (basically cookies and cream flavor, but with cookie crumble on top, and WHOLE SANDWICH COOKIES mixed in. I don't know why, but I love it.)

Rekka but adorbs ✨✨✨ This character is used to represent one of my music aliases of the same name, which is short for "Alex Recabro", a pen name I started using, for use in projects. I've never posted this little guy on Bluesky before lol. Well, here he is now. :P
