I have some pictures of a squadmate feeding me chips while I sleep and me just hoovering them up even without waking up.
But they're on Facebook, I almost logged in but Cuckerberg has decided my options are either paying them 10€ to use the site without them using my info for ads or using it free but giving consent to do whatever.
So I'll just actually fucking pay some day and take all my data and then quit.
Anyway... well, I would've liked to link the picture and go "oh you mean like this"? But fuck Facebook. Actually now that I'm reading up on this it looks like they're using it already anyway. "We receive this information whether or not you're logged in or have an account on our Products"
Yeah I was TV-watching age at that time and something I've watched as new when I was under 10 does is something I might describe as "old", depending on context.

A key advantage of physical pesticides over toxic pesticides is that pests are highly unlikely to evolve resistance, as this would require them to develop much larger and stronger bodies, while bigger...
What kind of paint must one drink to get that delusional?
I believe the colour is "meth"
I hope they turn that police department upside down for not noticing that they had a complete basket case running around with a uniform and a gun.
They won't, and if he was, say, abusing stimulants, his coworkers probably worried, yeah, but "reporting would mean the end of his career" so they just cover for the abuser until something like this happens. And then pretend they never noticed anything and act shocked and make promises as to how it'll never happen again, while doing literally nothing about the problem.
So I guess it doesn't apply to those idiots because they don't believe in those health reasons and hide their faces because they're pussies who are afraid of being identified as the pathetic nazi fucks they are.
I can't imagine a government trying to arrest them for wearing a mask.
Imagination isn't your strength, is it? If such a statute was placed, I can definitely imagine a cop not giving a fuck about a serious medical issue. As if they used reason or had empathy.
This isn't about immediately filtered content, like the disgusting DuffMan George Floyd meme, or Holocaust denial. That's pretty well kept in check by mod tools. I'm also not talking about cogent or even pointed political discussion....
What are you on about? We live in a global society, of which the US is a pretty influential part and also happen to have a very significant military.
If Trump wins and does everything he's been going on about, it'll definitely influence the rest of the world, however indirectly. And it will directly influence a lot.
Yes, it will affect Americans the most, but to pretend that it won't affect the rest of the world is naive.
Criticising him and going "I'm not gonna vote for genocide Joe"?
Yes.
If you were Putin, you'd do everything in your power to see Trump elected. And if you pretend Russian troll factories don't exist then we know you're in one.
The Extreme 600 and Sport 600 models are hailed as the most powerful street-legal electric bikes, with up to 852W of peak power.
That's really not that much. I'm sure it's a very high quality bike, but for raw power, you can get several times that from Chinese ebikes. They don't really care about the regulations, and there are bikes with several kilowatt motors. Although the line between "mountain bike" and "motocross bike" start blurring a tad at that point because the motors and batteries increase the heft of the bike a bit.
I'd still definitely take the McLaren, as I'm sure they're engine is far superior and 500+ watts properly utilised is quite sufficient.
In my opinion, anything above Habanero is just pointless masochism for no good reason at all.
Idk man I agree otherwise, but tolerances rise. And different chilis taste different. Habanero has a nice, sweet taste, and naga yolokia has a bit sharper taste.
So it very much depends.
I don't try to make "hot" food, but wanting a bit of heat in every meal has lead to my tolerances rising and Habanero just not cutting it for proper heat. (I think the heat is good when you almost feel it in your nipples.)
When the food is so spicy that at first you start sweating a bit on your face and then the heat slowly spreads from your face. So at the point when it's enough to reach your nipples, the spiciness of the dish is just right.
Oh this goal is something I decided after having experienced it.
Don't know if there's logic to it, but it's what I usually aim for. (Unless I'm busy the next day, because that usually requires an extended session on the porcelain throne the following day.)
Body positivity is such a strange concept to me. There's efforts to reclaim words while simultaneously calling them bad if used as an insult. Ideally, people wouldn't be offended by someone describing their body with common descriptors, but socially there is so much value attributed to certain body types that it's almost...
So you're saying there is ZERO DIFFERENCE in physical attractiveness between the two pictures I posted?
Jesus you're bitter. You should look into psychedelic assisted therapy.
They will only pretend to like you so they can get money, things and chores from you.
I've been offered money to have sex with women, several times.
Weird how they've given me money, things and done my chores if they only want those things from me, huh?
The reason you feel that way is that you're a bitter misogynist who writes things like "that's for ugly chicks", while actively pretending attractiveness in men doesn't exist so you don't have to face being an "ugly chick" yourself.
Yeah, it's true golddiggers exist, but if you stop being such a massive cunt you might one who isn't.
But that's all in your future, as I'm pretty positive I'm talking to a teenager who's annoyed that his crush liked the boy with the more expensive phone or a newer vehicle of some sort, something to that effect.
Give the second man the first man's cosmetic surgery budget and they'd bear a striking resemblance
So you admit that there IS a difference in their physical attractiveness, which means that such a thing does exist, meaning you admit you said something you don't actually believe in.
My point exactly.
Don't worry, the bitterness of having crushed so hard on a person you didn't even manage to talk to will fade when you grow up. Well, hopefully you do at some point at least. I don't know how ugly you are, but it can't be much uglier than your rhetoric. I suspect you keep reading some of the "tips" of others (internally and externally) ugly guys like whathisface who's locked up in Romania.
Well, I guess there's really no hope for you anymore. Well, with PAT it would be probably possible, but I seriously doubt it at that point.
"More visibly damaged"
Ah, so because I pointed out that you actually admitted to there being a difference, you're now eating your words and saying "there's no difference in physical attractiveness".
Either you're lying to keep up the pretense you need to (because of your own level of attractiveness), or you literally have brain damage. You don't want to see the ugly truth that ugly people are at a disadvantage, both male and female. :)
"Vaginal wetness because of facial symmetry isn't real."
Weird way to try to say that "I don't want to admit that women have the capacity to be sexually attracted to how someone looks, despite that being an objective and incontrovertible fact, because I've never had that happen to me, so it can't be real, because I don't want to admit what an uggo I myself am".
You know what definitely is real though? Vaginal dryness after hearing sentences like "vaginal wetness because of facial symmetry".
Such incel comments. You're trying to objectify women to the extent that you don't even want to think about there being an actual person who gets aroused because of something they see, so you don't even talk of arousal, you talk of "vaginal wetness". Would you ever write "penile stiffness" when talking about getting hard?
I can see after this conversation why you'd need those delusions to be true, because with the rhetorical output of a teenage incel, you're definitely never gonna induce "vaginal wetness" in anyone.
Weird how pretty much every relationship I've been in as a man has been me getting money and chores out of the women, instead of the other way around. So I guess you're also gonna pretend that you don't understand the sterotype of the extremely good looking guy who goes around banging the wives of the less-than-attractive men while they're at work? What exactly is the woman getting out the guy she's fucking in secret?
Teaching young men that they can be liked for who they are is just…harmful.
Wrong. It's the exact way we avoid them turning out like you, a delusional guy saying "ugly chicks" and "vaginal wetness" while being on the lowest ladder of male attractiveness.
The good point is that even people like you can improve. Just stop with the crazy misogyny, go to therapy, hit the gym and take care of your skin. Facial features don't matter as much as your facial expressions. So there's hope for you yet, but only after you fix yourself up, psyche and all.
You seriously think there's no such thing as physical attractiveness? If you seriously believe that, you're most likely suffering from actual brain damage. What is more likely is you're pretending it doesn't, so you don't have to feel bad about not being in the attractive group. Too bad. ;P
You might, if the context really called for it. Like when talking about the difference between morning wood and actual arousal. You know the difference right? But you don't have enough empathy to understand women also get aroused, and it's not just about "vaginal wetness". Which is why describing a man getting horny as "getting penile stiffness".
But you're having trouble being honest, so that's just another example of it. More with yourself than with me.
So I’m the misogynist while you’re over here like “Have you considered that women are shallow cheating sluts?”
I'm not the one slut-shaming someone. It's none of your business who someone has sex with, and the fact that you instantly go to "slut" instead of say, abusive, uncaring husband whom the woman is no longer in love with, says a lot, doesn't it?
The first comment of yours I replied to had "ugly chicks" in it. First off... "chicks"? Second, saying things like that is exactly why women perceive you as incredibly unattractive. Because unlike for you, women aren't interested just in physical attractiveness. It is one of many factors that come into play as to whether a person is attractive or not. A woman might say they'd have sex with a person based on their physical attractiveness, but if they had to do it based on talking to someone for a minutes, being a shallow misogynistic dick would override even the best looks. Because despite your delusions, women do actually have thoughts and feelings.
I’m not the problem here. I live in a world where most employers would pay you in company scrip rather than USD if, nay, when they’re allowed to get away with it again. I live in a world where 100% of the phone calls I get are scams or reminders of doctor’s appointments. I live in a world where packages of food labeled 12 ounces have 9 ounces of food in them. Everyone is out to scam you. EVERYONE.
"I", "I", "I", "me", "me", "me", "me".
"I have no friends, I don't get anything but scam calls, people don't like me, everyone is out to scam me" .... "I'm not the problem".
No, you're not the problem. You have a problem. You're depressed. Get help for it.
Yes, problems exist. Yes, shitty people exist. But "only the Sith deal in absolutes" and so-on. You definitely need therapy.
Do you know what also exist? Difference in physical attractiveness between men. For instance, you seem completely incapable of making women or anyone like you for that matter. I've never had a problem with it. Actually, I've had a problem making friends too easily, and women fawning over me too much. Even to the point I've realised I could actually abuse them, just like all the good looking assholes in the movies. The problem is, that's the sort of assholery I'm really not into. So I don't.
People might not really love you, but how deeply fucked up do you have to be to think that your situation is extrapolated to every single other person?
So I guess you may have just never really even experienced love. And that's why I honestly suggest you look into psychedelic-assisted therapy. Jokes aside, it fucking works. No-one wants to be around a misery like you, but don't think that means that no-one wants to be around anyone, that friends don't care for each other, that you can't love someone or have meaningful relationships. It's weird how you keep pretending women are some sort of parasites, but yet you never address the implication that it works both ways, which means you think men "actually" love women, but that women just don't have the ability.
Which is loud as fuck for "I had a bad relationship and never had the coping tools to get over it so now I'm nearing 40 and I'm alone, sad and scared, so I lash out and pretend caring isn't real like some sort of teenage incel"
So you're still saying that there's no difference in physical attractiveness between Brad Pitt and say... you? ;P
Well, this might be personal experience, but imo, radiohosts and bands on the radio used to affect me a whole lot more before. Now it's more youtubers and hot music videos on YouTube.
Even just with MTV being popular there was way more incentive to have not just a song, but a music video of it, so you could possibly get it on TV as well.
So I get how "video killed the radio star" would be a thing. But now that podcasts are quite in (for like the last decade or something idk), you could have those legendary radio hosts again.
The loaded language having an "intention" doesn't mean that intent is necessarily consciously realised by the speaker.
When I waa growing up, the f-slur for gay men was used pretty liberally without it having any related meaning to us. We didn't hate or even dislike gays. It was just "something people said" and we picked up on it and used it.
Now I have to say that a lot of those people really did turn out to be homophobes, but as it was a rural village, the chances were high anyway.
The point I'm making is that speakers can spread the "intention" or connotation of a phrase without even ever having understood it's meaning.
People just don't want to think about stuff that doesn't affect them or that they can't change.
Yeah, I understand this, and that's part of the problem. People think they can't affect change, so they don't want to think about change, so they say things like "we can't change things, it is what it is" and then someone who still had hope (but looks up to the speaker) loses their hope of change, and also starts using said language.
Accepting defeat is certain defeat.
Ofc in a lot of conversations, it might not be political at all. Sometimes you can't change things, as you have no agency. Like we used a lot of these semantic stop signs just as coping tools in the army. Digging a well into frozen ground, manually, in -20C... "it is what it is."
But it is exactly loaded language. It's just that not every use is malicious or political. They can be mundane and arbitrary criticisms that are quelled as well.
If two twin sisters who are both 18 years old and they both want to marry eachother I think legally they should be allowed to do it because what they’re doing isn’t hurting anybody....
"I disregard any thoughts of morality until I'm confronted with such"
Yeah I can see that.
you are doing is only harming yourself and not other people
Is it though?
Because it's rather well documented that abuse of substances affects others as well. No-one lives in a void. We all interact.
Homosexuality is incredibly common and there's no harm in it, and there's actually several observed benefits for social species (that's not to say either of those always happens, but in certain situations and certain species it can be beneficial to the species).
You should be tipped off that there might be something harmful if you need to take extensive care to avoid a danger inherent in the activity. (incest babies.)
So the incest being considered a mental illness by society argument isn't a valid argument
Yes it is, because it is very directly harmful to the species unless you make certain there is no chance of conception. And to make that sure just wearing a condom or even wearing a condom and the sister being on the pill wouldn't be enough. Even a vasectomy wouldn't be enough, as it's not 100% effective. It's more than 99.99% effective, but not 100%. Even adding a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) wouldn't make it 100%, as ectopic pregnancies are a thing, and there exists medical cases of ectopic pregnancies having survived. Maybe only one or two, but documentedly it has happened.
So complete sterilisation would be necessary.
To compare incest to homosexuality is like trying to compare homosexuality to pedophilia. They're not even close.
Some pedophiles understand that they have a problem. No-one blames them for it, unless they pretend it isn't a problem, because then it becomes a problem.
So admit you have one and go visit a psychiatrist, for your own health.
Pedophiles are only morally bad person if they go out of their way to molest pre pubescent children or watch actual CP.
Oh only if they "go out of their way" to molest kids? So casual "on-the-way" molesting is fine?
You keep having to willfully ignore things and delude yourself.
You really should see a psychiatrist. If there's nothing wrong, ofc you'll get healthy papers. If there is something wrong, you should take care of it, obviously.
Pedophiles are only morally bad person if they go out of their way to molest pre pubescent children or watch actual CP.
Oh only if they “go out of their way” to molest kids? So casual “on-the-way” molesting is fine?
You literally wrote "if they go out of their way". You may not have realised the implication, but that's different from just "having thoughts".
And no, if one doesn't act on one's impulses, it's not wrong. However, if one was constantly fantasising pedophilia/violence and didn't seek care, that would make it immoral, as humans we must realise all of us are imperfect, and we occasionally act on our impulses.
If you have violent impulses and don't act on them and seek help, you're a moral person, because some of the one's who didn't seek help ended up being serial killers, and often the secrecy and taboo of the acts add to the excitement.
There's a reason we put people on psychiatric holds even when they might have not yet done anything wrong.
I don't think Dan Harmon is immoral. but if I didn't know he was a creative genius who had a therapist and because he realises these are fantasies he has, not something he'd do in real life. He talks about it under his own name, openly. I don't think you'd be ready to do the same.
But it isn't, because sometimes people are a credible danger to others before they do anything, if they're not in possession of their faculties, ie suffering from a psychiatric condition.
If you happen to do a crime while under a psychiatric condition, you can use that as a criminal defense, because your judgment was impaired.
Therefore it's up to society to try and take people to a hold if we deem their judgement to be compromised.
Yes, it's been used for political means as well, and having an incest fetish isn't enough to warrant such action. But for say a pedophile who has had trouble controlling themselves before...? Well, they're usually banned from going to places like near schools and whatnot.
But for someone say with a violent history and a bipolar disorder? If they start exhibiting signs of mania and perhaps aggression, it'd be well within reason to put them on a forced psychiatric hold — for the safety of others — even if they hadn't "done anything wrong".
I've enjoyed listening to drum n bass and related music genres my whole life and have recently started obsessing over it a lot. The Amen Break is just so versatile and used across so many different genres
Holy shit I never realised that. Either it's actually pressed on an record, or he just used a video recording of some other disc being played and then added it to this video. As he'd have to use separate audio probably anyway, unless he put the output from the player directly into the camera. Anyhow, I never noticed that as I mostly listened this. However it's done yeah, Love it.
Edit he specifically says it is a track made for this specific purpose because of the thing he says, I had forgot, because it's been years since I watched this.
For some reason I've just never liked Spider-Man. He comes off as a whiney, ignorant child that never seems to grow up or mature despite everything he goes through. I love a good coming of age story, but he just never seems to become an adult.
Captain, I see some of the crew require reminders of starfleet lessons about the 24-h clock and the way the first 10 hours are referred to with only three digits (001 to 959).
