Fair to say it’s only a sign when it starts to happen regularly.

Yeah. That’s my personal indicator that there’s something wrong with my work setup; avoiding doing the thing that leads to the unpleasant parts. I guarantee he started hiding in his car after the relationship issues began.

Nope. It’s a trans-generational ploy since time immemorial. The worst ones are the bosses who ask you to stay so they don’t have to go home, but it can happen to anyone.

The worst part about the mid tier villain is that they could have easily found something way better.

“Florida Man Steals $7K in Lottery Tickets, Returns to [Same] Gas Station to Redeem Them”

"…Farley drove right back to the scene of the crime, marched in, and announced that he wanted to redeem some lottery tickets. The same-day staff must have thought he looked awfully familiar. They told him he couldn’t redeem the tickets.

Farley was determined. He did the old “walk around the store and get back in line,” hoping a different staff member would take pity on him. But the answer was still no."

I would edit and repost this myself, but I’m using my phone.

Because they used middlemen in Iraq and the other middle eastern countries to get the terminals. It’s incredibly likely that this has been in the works for a little while now. You don’t wanna accidentally cut off access to Ukraine while clearing out the bootleg clients from Russia.

“There is no formal accusation that SpaceX is doing business with Russia directly - only that it might be failing to properly police redirection of its equipment to sanctioned entities like the Russian government.”

Valve’s better than Epic Games, but they still have every incentive to keep users in their ecosystem with DRM.

Very true.

Thats why Proton on the Steam Deck only works with Steam running in the background.

Lmao what? You have proof for this? It’s just as likely that it was easier to do it the way they did.

It really is always crazy to see the different perspectives. I’ve actually unsubscribed from a channel for the bad quality youtube put on all their 1080p videos. I’m also still eagerly awaiting the slomo guys bluray release of their greatest hits.

Well, that, and vhs is one of those things that is fun to play with. It’s never going to be perfect, and that’s enough to keep people like me coming back to see what new improvements I can make to my vhs setup this time.

New blurays are 30-50 each. New DVDs are 5 or less, each. Libraries usually have bigger dvd collections than bluray collections. People use what they can afford, not what is best.

The fediverse has been getting a rash of these types of comics designed to specifically widen the online gender divide with seemingly innocuous comics.

Make no mistake, this comic in particular is not bad, and has already engendered some good discussion. The issue is these brand new accounts posting one or two comics about how men suck, or women suck, or whatever, and then leaving.

You’re likely mixing up the church of Satan with the satanic temple. https://satanismtoday.net/articles/difference-between-church-of-satan-and-satanic-temple/

Yeah. Occassionally I like to check back in on people who ‘made it big’ for one reason or another, to see how they’re doing. I was happily surprised to see this guy took his chance seriously and turned it into an actual career while also avoiding a shitload of common pitfalls surrounding this type of fame.

Cash me ousside girl is a good example of someone who got famous, but kept a lot of the bad habits from childhood around, which is always a shame.

I think the general consensus was that he was weird and creepy, but we didn’t actually have proof that he was a pederast.

Sorta like the creepy old man in the van down by the river; nobody saw him do anything weird so he’s not in jail, but everyone and their mothers makes sure he doesn’t ever get any alone time with a vulnerable person.

Imagine your mother being murdered via retcon just to make you more ‘intense’ coming up in conversation like in the last action hero. Getting to yell at your own author’s inability to write an intense hero without murdering your mom to do it.

Imgur really doesn’t play well with other we sites anymore, but especially the fediverse. It’s honestly better to just post the actual image on your instance than it is to try to get an imgur link to work.

Did anyone else notice he is wearing clothes that look exactly like his description of her old clothes? 5$ says he’s wearing her stuff during this whole conversation.

The karma of killing a doctor goes away when that doctor uses his position of trust and authority to abuse and creep on people. It’s worse than a regular creep because people have to trust him with their physical safety.

We have plenty of spaces for talking about current events. Might as well reserve this one for not doing that.

Their service was genuinely good for the short time I used it. You’ll note in my post that I would still recommend it to anyone who doesn’t plan on doing more than average browsing and light torrenting.

They just wanted an excuse to cut me off since I made more use of it than the average person likely does, and their ‘unlimited’ advertising means you can’t actually know what their real limits are.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been enjoying the heck out of AirVPN since then, with absolutely no issues.

It really is a great dynamic pose the artist made here.
