I enjoy pvp games that I'm talented at. If I'm not good at something I tend to get down when I keep losing. Pvp is just really hard and bottles that feeling of helplessness.

Production can be cut, without lowering pay for most workers

Companies have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders, so unless you're running a co-op or we transition to a socialist economic structure then this will likely never happen sadly. That huge gap between production and wages is what fuels our current economic paradigm. The system just needs to be rewritten.

Well evidently you can, somehow! Either by not knowing or by some other means lol.

Must not have known they were epileptic. I dated an epileptic person and she said they weren't even allowed to drive.

What is this Facebook-tier jpegged nonsense

Commercial flights will all be fully booked for months at least. The only realistic way for most Americans in Lebanon will likely be evacuation.

"Loved" is a pretty strong verb to use in this context lmao.

If you look at the comments under any YouTube video about Gaza or Lebanon, it's mostly people cheering it on, especially on videos from major media outlets.

It seems like people understand the immense human toll and just don't care because they want to see Israel continue to take out alleged military targets regardless of civilian deaths. It's truly evil and reminiscent of any other genocide in history, the victims just aren't respected as humans.

I'm tired of seeing this over and over, even in the information age. I'm starting to be convinced that humanity is just not viable as a species and is destined to destroy itself ad infinitum over shit like this.

Smart TVs are designed to surveil you, a media center PC can be used however you want. Flash Linux and run Jellyfin and torrent everything through a VPN, then nothing can track you.

Yep, it was my personal, password-protected network. Either someone reconnected it (unlikely, I live with my gf who doesn't use the TV) or it just cached the password until it decided to spy on my again 🙃

I have definitely had to forget networks, then have them connect to that network weeks later at random, then having to forget the network again. Don't know how that's legal.

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).

 

Obviously there's the stuff around Gaslight village, but is there anything especially interesting to do besides the stuff around that area? Even around the EGR area, maybe not properly inside it?

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?
