Just imagine, for a moment, having your salary even being a million dollars a year. Even with a mortgage and kids, that would be a fuckload of money. 95 times that is insane. Even after buying multiple supercars, a mansion, and a fancy boat, you’d still have more money than you could possibly use, ever. And that’s just one year of pay.
God, even if you invested part of a million a year, you’d be fantastically wealthy.
Reminds me of the Naked Gun folding bed scene, haha
A one man environmental disaster. J. R. McNeill opined that Midgley “had more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth’s history”
I’ve seen and talked to some people that have, and they actually did get it back to a natural-looking, uncircumcised penis. But it literally took years of training with a weighted device clamped to the skin that remained. Two years of basically round-the-cock stretching. Suffice to say it’s something that should be one’s own choice, not a parent’s decision unless there’s some significant health issue that needs immediate fixing.
Unflavored shredded wheat cereal with frozen berries, toast or vegetarian sausage, and quality tea.
In summer, I’ll sometimes swap the tea for a smoothie if it’s been hot.
I definitely would leave it up to them. It is a very long recovery to regrow that skin if they have regrets or issues later in life.
Heh, they already beat you to it. If you haven’t seen Her, you really should. It’s a very poignant movie, but it has a good ending. It is extremely fitting as people get lonely.
Honestly, I feel like some of what AI does isn’t necessary. If you’re having trouble finding out if someone is either being distant out of respect, or distant because they are uninterested, you could ask them in a kind way about what their vibes are. I think I’d prefer honesty over AI, and that’s what I did when I was single and still dating.
Getting closer to Black Mesa technology :3
Finding things is such a pain in the ass nowadays. You get a problem with something, say you need a spare part. None of the stores have it. It is on Amazon…but it won’t be here for a solid two weeks. It’s infuriating.
Something that should take less than an hour to fix is now a multi week wait, because of stupid online retailers. And it will be something super common, like a tool to tighten up loose spokes on a bike wheel.
It’s been years, and I still miss windowsphone so much. I knew we were fucked when they axed it and iPhone and android were already starting to stall out with a duopoly.
At one point, we had blackberry, some form of meego, Windowsphone, android and iOS, as well as niche things like jolla and sailfish.
It’s a scam. I’m surprised people haven’t gone to jail, though in the current climate, you know none of them would see a cell.
Definitely would bike or bus something over 30m
Get a good cast iron pan! I’ve used multiple glass tools and never had an issue :)
I use the Lodge pans, but you can pick up a used cast iron pan from a secondhand store and skip the breaking in process.
Ugh, I hate how there’s no opt out. Just read a good blog post on dark patterns, written by a furry. It’s a good post.

Damn, stole 7.7m, fined $35k and sentenced to 5 months in prison.
Nope, my current phone isn’t even water resistant. It loses resistance over time anyways, so IDC.
Well, if there’s one thing that should drive you, it should be getting some form of education or vocational training and forging your own path forward, ideally someplace chill. There’s many places on the west coast where being effeminate is totally normal, and people are totally fine with that. I like it when people get to really be themselves, and I LOVE men who wear cute things. We need more cute apparel!
I also think therapy would genuinely help you. If you put in your location, hit “all filters” and you can choose what type of therapy you want, and there’s also a separate section for Bisexual/Lesbian/LGBTQ+ (even if you are straight, filtering by these might get you a really thoughtful counselor.)

Just to make this post too long, I was in a similar boat coming out years ago. Not quite the same, I think girly stuff is cute, but I also don’t go out of my way to wear it. Anyways, I was really stuck in a rut over sexuality, conflicts with religion, and my confusion with cute women, but also cute men. My life really turned around when I started talking to close friends about what I was going through.
I went deep, no holds barred, we talked hard about everything and life. At the same time, I called my doctor’s office and got a referral for a therapist, who was excellent. That man really helped turn my life around, and recommended the site I linked above. Honestly, his help was all I needed. I’ve met someone I truly love, and everything all worked out in the end.
The hardest part for me was calling that clinic and telling them that I needed help, and why I needed help. It was hard, but life slowly got easier after that.
It reminds me of animals thriving in radioactive zones because people aren’t there.
If I was ever a multibillionaire, I’d like to buy up massive amounts of land around national parks and just make it permanently set aside for nature. Essentially extending the national parks, but also hedging bets against asshole leaders and any further development. Same with other ecologically sensitive sites, particularly for migratory species.
Dreams like these are probably why I won’t be a billionaire, lol.
Console exclusives always seemed stupid to me. That said, I always preferred Xbox controller layouts.
After 3/ODST, Halo was effectively over once Bungie sold off the IP. I’ve heard the new version is using AI in some capacity. If I really wanna play it, I’ll just play MCC on PC.
2 and 3 are where the story really got exciting. It’s fun to play the games in strictly chronological order, where you play all of Reach and 1, 2 for a bit, switch ODST, finish 2, then play 3. Extremely satisfying.
