Online media Content restriction guidelines:
Online video content restriction guidelines: Over the years the online video submission websites such as "YouTube" and many others like it; have been getting more and more strict about their content submission guidelines. All the while using automated systems to regulate and "Detect" content violations within accordance with their submittal policies. The problem is that while this DOES seem like a good idea as it allows content to be filtered based upon marked interest, user interest, and more importantly Ad revenue interest within their site's revenue streams; it has however caused a wide number of problems and has further resulted in direct freezing and limitation of content being produced IF the content in question is questionable within accordance to the market interest of the companies that pay royalties to YouTube for their provided commercials. This brief article will take a look at the very real problem, and then offer a potential solution that sites like YouTube could administer that would allow for users to submit content of nearly any manor within the limitations of law, while also restricting said content from sensitive eyes such as Children and other revenue streams where sensitive content may not be something those interested parties wish to have associated to their Brands image.

Narcissism and Abuse within BDSM Relationships; An observation.
A classic mindset I see time and again within any BDSM, or even alternative community is the mind set that a persons partner (Usually male), is gas-lighting or emotionally and psychologically attacking their partner to such a degree, where when the submissive partner say's something about it, automatically they will find a way to devalue, limit, or diminish the person in questions concerns, needs, or in some more serious cases, their safety. A classic example of this from just a domestic perspective is the age old:

"Sophia" the AI Machine;
So... "Sophia" is a VERY interesting topic that I and many of my colleagues, friends and fellow writers have been following for quite sometime now, as we as a society are finally broaching into the age of Cyberpunk 2020 . Since "her" creation roughly about 4 ish years ago, she has become a topic of deep introspection within regards to both her role, her "species" type, (As many believe she is in fact not a ROBOT, but a type of Synthetic, or "Synth", like Fallout presents it, while others believe she is more of a first wave of "Android" or "Gynoid" if we want to be more gender specific), definition of "Gender" / "sex", and even more so some of the conversations she has had with other people regarding humanity as a whole. One key thing, however, is that early on she was using a system of deep learning algorithms akin to the "Deep mind" project, but some say, more tailored after the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's AI "Edd Hifeng", that was programmed into the then popular online Sand box game, 'Second Life' at the time in 2008.

Shikou No Tokumei - The Unknown thought.
“...What a long strange trip it’s been” Growing up as a child, having had been raised with a wide diversity of both native America, Scottish, German, Creole, and even Japanese ideals; I often times found myself alone with little to do, other than create things to entertain myself. I feel that this in tandem with Lego’s, card board, Building Blocks and the few Tin soldiers I could get my hands on from time to time, that these simple resources, in tandem with other things later in my life, became the very reason that I would later form Tokumei LLC, a Multi Media production and Game development company. I often found that the most reliable resource of entertainment came from within my own head from the vast and rather diverse worlds I’d create, to the potential thoughts, dreams, and Ideas that spurned my yearning desire to beat the ravaging hoards of boredom at their core.

The Depths of Hell
"Your love is automatic, it burns like gasoline. It consumes me in the fire; Cum hard like a wet dream" As I sat there prepping my gear to venture out into the barren wastelands of the territory of "Open" in search for her; I sat and listened to one of my most favored of songs by The Sweetest Condition; "Depths of Hell". I realized that It had been ages since I had seen the vocalist Leslie in person, let alone in concert. She was a dear friend, from a group of people that I often spent a great deal of time at various clubs, events and concerts within the Midwest Goth Community. Unfortunately; The sickness, war, and return of the old gods made concerts near impossible, and worse unless you were in a mega city with good orbital protection, or lived in a territory like RAIN; it was a down right a death trap for those foolish enough to be entranced by the pied piper of the human condition. Worse; the ages of social media and mass communication was long since dead. These days any digital media was completely Corporate controlled, Alien controlled, or an intentional trap by some misanthropic Neuromancer, or god forbid Cult trying to lure the unsuspecting masses into an almost guaranteed death trap. Thus unless you had a Rogue Magi who was willing to cobble together a piece of tech, so that they could sell it for enough coin to buy a tube of "C.H.O.W." ("Chemically Homogenized Organic Waste"); there was little one could do to "check in" on their friends, family and loved ones. I still shudder at the thought of "C.H.O.W." ; Only the truly desperate each that shit.
