It is not uncharacteristic our relationship with each other lol

 

I'm procrastinating at work and installing random packages with CLI that are just fun to mess with. Recently I've been looking up all my co-workers with Sherlock, just for fun. Does anyone else have CLI stuff that they like to screw with when they're bored?

"Pretending to run people over" is a crime lol. At least in the States. That's textbook assault (making someone fear bodily harm), and arguably reckless driving or endangerment.

What is it about cars that make people into psychopaths? Or does it just bring out these things in already bad people?

Why would a diplomat have a direct line of communication with a powerful military force in the region? That seems like a pretty straightforward question with an obvious answer lol.

Polygamous lesbians moving in together. The joke is that lesbians move in quickly, it's a common meme.

Undocumented migrants still pay taxes that are built into systems we interact with, like sales, rent, mortgage, etc. They also frequently have payroll taxes taken out, and even file taxes using an ITIN instead of SSN. They also can't capitalize on govt. programs like section 8 or social security, so they are only able to contribute to these funding pools. Undocumented migrants generate billions per year in taxes for the US.

As long as you have fun with what you play

Shit, never mind. I play Dead by Daylight.

I remember being pissed when I got shitty cards from a YuGiOh booster pack when I was a kid, never bought new packs again. Only got stuff if I knew its value first. The fact that kids these days are actually falling prey to these systems shows how much more advanced and predatory they are.

I mean, it was a close call if nothing else. Not quite like the last one though.

Seeing games I don't play get affected by kernel anti-cheat just gives me this big self-serving biased perception that my taste in games is good.

Surely it's not due to the increased accessibility of good video games and the decreased accessibility of good movies. Young people bad, have tiktok brain.

He's in Multiversus now so the awareness for gamers is probably at an all-time high

taking jobs away from black and hispanic people who have held them for years

Who the fuck believes this anymore? This has been verifiably untrue for decades. Is it just an excuse to be irrationally racist?

 

I took this at Muskallonge State Park in Michigan. It's the only place within a few hundred miles of my house that's Bortle class 1, meaning zero light pollution. It was fantastic and I absolutely want to go back sometime.

 

Thinking about this because of a greentext I saw earlier complaining about OF models.

It feels like a lot of the stigma surrounding sex work in the modern day (that doesn't just boil down to misogyny/gender norms/religion) is based on the fact that selling intimate aspects of one's self places a set value on something that many see as sacred; something that shouldn't have monetary value.

Not to say anything about the economic validity of a society without currency, but I think that, hypothetically, if that were to exist, sex work would be less stigmatized since this would no longer be a factor. Those engaged in sex work would be more likely to be seen as doing it because it's something they are good at/enjoy, and less because it's an "easy" way to make money, as some think. It would also eliminate the fear of placing set value on social, non sex-work related intimacy (not that those fears were well-founded to begin with).

 

Found this in the middle of nowhere in Kentucky on a road trip.
