The internet is a great place for children to express wild views and try out extreme politics in order to test boundaries and discover themselves. I support this acting-out; it's healthy. You may grow up to be an moderately adjusted person.

I literally had never a seen a single person who looks good with them.

What if I told you that what people do with their bodies may (and stick with me here) have absolutely nothing to do with what pleases you? Who made you the body police in the first place?

I usually go 10 or 15 years on a motherboard. I'll upgrade the CPU, GPU, and RAM in that time.

In a flight sim board, I once witnessed a heated debate over the HE111. The argument was over whether the first HE111s to drop torpedoes were field modified or had torpedo hardware mounted at the factory.

This thing went on for pages, and there was plenty of primary source documentation posted. And it was heated, personal, and vicious.

Is there any research on this?

Back in the 90s, there was a theory that living near power-lines was unhealthy, but later shown to be bunk. Also similar to "electro magnetic sensitivity" like Chuck in "Better Call Saul". Does inaudible sound effect people's health?

As someone who's worked in restaurants what I recognize about this bathroom is all the beautiful tile. What that means is that somewhere in the house, there is a hose that spits boiling hot water. With this hose you can clean and sanitize a bathroom stall without ever having to step inside of it.

The first restaurant I ever worked in was a fast food joint and they cleaned the whole dining room this way. They had that water heater turned up to fuck-you and it was a little scary.

I know that Xwitter is usually a reliable source, but 1000nm is outside visual range and therefore not green. Green lasers in the ~500nm range will absolutely damage a camera sensor, but you'll need good aim and sustained illumination.

In both instances, you're the moral agent who gets to decide. And it's not our advantage in intelligence or wisdom, it's our advantage in mass.

Morals have power dynamics, CMM.

Fun fact: strip clubs don't employ the girls.

They're "independent contractors" who actually pay the house to use the stage or the VIP rooms. This creates a natural filter so that girls that are less popular make less money until they move on. In a mid-sized city like mine, you'll have a hierarchy of clubs from the one with the richest clients and the hottest dancers, to the poorest clients and lest attractive dancers. Also there will be a club where black dudes are more welcome. (often the "worst" club)

So, stripping was gig work before the term. And it's no surprise that extra-exploitative labor practices were tested out on women first.

I just wanna be clear, I'm not downvoting Sarkeesian, I'm downvoting AI slop.

Shooting them in the head doesn't kill them. Nothing can. Even chopping them into little pieces, the peaces start attacking you. You can burn them up, but that will just spread the curse to other corpses in the acid rain.

All anyone cares about is which powerful man gets embarrassed. And I recon it's more likely that Maxwell will get out early than any predator gets jail.

There were HUNDREDS of victims; it went on for decades; and nobody gives a tiny shit. Have you heard anybody propose a law, a task force, even a blue ribbon commission to find out how this happened or make sure nobody does this again? Are their any more resources for victims because of this?

Our society accepts that men of wealth are entitled to abuse people. And sexual abuse is all in the game. Because at the end of the day our legal system is constructed to protect these people from the rabble, not hold them to account.

A pedophile is political designation to strip rights, dignity, and legitimacy from enemies. Children being harmed is beside the point.

I own Windows 11 and my computer and preferred OS (Fedora) support TPM and Secure boot. Is it worth the time to configure that stuff to run W11, or should I just continue to run W10 since I don't do anything but run a couple games?

I have a robust backup, so even a system wide Nuke is a day's worth of re-installing, worst case.

Honestly, since I boot W10 so rarely, it'll kinda be nice not to have to update it every time.
