As long as artificial demand is being driven by speculators, housing will never get cheaper. Even assuming there is enough supply, which is also unlikely.

I don't understand why developers and publishers aren't prioritizing spectacle games with simple graphics like TABS, mount and blade, or similar. Use modern processing power to just throw tons of shit on screen, make it totally chaotic and confusing. Huge battles are super entertaining.

Librewolf is privacy-hardened so it's probably the best option. Brave is Chromium-based. Realistically though, all web browsers come with compromises, and internet anonymity is virtually impossible without unrealistic amounts of effort.

It's pleasing to the eye but lacks the soul and passion of a real, human gooner who just wants to make people cum

The new manifest v3 version is actually not that bad, though not nearly as good as normal ublock.

I have tinnitus so I can't sleep without a fan or noise-maker.

"I'm alive" is my go-to

Don't worry, they're only 5-9 mm big and are generally chill

The only reason most of these things feel forced is because people are more perceptive and media literate now. It was always pretty corny. If anything I think it's better now.

For those wondering about what specifically happened with each:

Minecraft - microtransactions on Bedrock edition

Reddit - API changes killing 3rd party apps and streamlining ad delivery

Netflix - Pricing and library changes making it less and less of a good deal

Chrome - Manifest V3 killing uBlock Origin and similar content blockers

Windows - Increasing numbers of ads baked into the system, poorly-made features like Recall, and lack of hardware compatibility with the TPM 2.0 requirement

I found the OP and their post got deleted, but the only comments she responded to were the supportive ones (maybe 1 or 2 out of dozens of "wtf is wrong with you" reactions).

The poster has a history dating back 2 years so I don't think it's a troll, or if it is it's convincing. I just can't believe anyone would actually want to name their kid fucking Blessica. Absolutely revolting name.

If it were anyone other than Asmongold I wold agree with you but I genuinely think this guy is incapable of inauthenticity, like he's either not smart enough or has some other sort of brain worms that make him brutally honest 100% of the time.

 
 

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?

 

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.

 

I've been having pre-carpal tunnel symptoms lately and I really want to switch to a vertical mouse, but I've heard from a lot of people that they just don't have the same sensory quality that you get with a traditional mid-high end gaming mouse. This would be an issue for me since constantly do quick flicks and don't think I can just tollerate an inferior sensor. Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing, and if so do you have any good recommendations?
