    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    To be clear, I didn't encounter this while looking for porn. And I'm not trying to say I'm better than that or don't look at porn or something. Just clarifying. The most recent was a government motherfucking website. What makes me angriest about it is the fact that its spreading means that...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    A couple times now this has happened: Try to create account "Take a selfie and upload a picture of your ID to continue" Is this real life? Which dystopian nightmare future did I wake up in?

    Depression

    I didn't say it made sense, I can't pretend to understand why it is that way. Maybe its that they have surplus babies in need of adoption so they're motivated to make it easier / cheaper. All I know is they pursued it in multiple states and that was the best option all 4 times.

    Depression

    The key to adopting is understanding that you don't need to adopt from an agency in your own state. My parents adopted 4 of my brothers and sisters. All out of state. They lived in a state that made adoption bullshit so they adopted out of Illinois. One of my adopted brothers has stayed in...

    I get the frustration at the slow pace but I don't get it after the finale. Its moving slow but its moving. That south american dude with the name I can never remember is great. As far as I can see S1 is his origin story. I dunno, maybe they'll go all Lost in S2 like eight fucking years from...

    https://www.newsmax.com/health/health-news/study-bmi-obesity/2025/12/30/id/1240136/ Sounds about right No seriously though, the change theyre making here is if you have a big protruding gut, you're obese, even if your BMI doesnt say so This is obviously correct

    The Life of Chuck (2025)

    Great movie and I don't have any big complaints. If I'd read a plot summary first I would have noped out, instead it charms you into watching and before you know it you've just watched a heartwarming tale about a boy who grows up loving dance. Only tangent: I'd really like to watch a movie...

    Yeah, I'm the first person to ever criticize a characters behavior on a TV show and its because I "don't realize its not real". Stunning insight

    Putting the money aside "for the kid". How about actually spending time raising your infant, for the kid? I'm not even saying "its not realistic, she wouldnt do that". Modern women are fucking broken, and if modern men find her decision sensible, then modern men are broken too. These are the...

    I remember when we lived in a serious country and the mainstream culture pushed virtuous messages like "don't throw trash on the highway" and "don't become a drug addict". Hell, we pretty much eliminated cigarette smoking with just this kind of cultural pressure. A substance thats been compared...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Tried something new, did a tritip roast. Most cuts of beef I could find for roast were like $80 to $100. What in the actual fuck? I'm feeding 7, I don't need $100 of meat. Nice 3.5 lb tritip for like $26. Trimmed, scored, seasoned and seared. 15 min at 400F then about 45 at 250, rested and...

    I agree that its realistic and all that; FFS shes a Mexican living in a Mexican neighborhood with all her Mexican extended family. But with that said - if you're a new mother with a newborn baby, and your baby just lost its daddy, and you just got a few million dollars windfall... but you still...

    So the MAVEN spacecraft - the one that took the closest image of 3I/Atlas - has rather suddenly gone missing. I'm sure its just a coincidence but surely even skeptics have to be looking at the list of coincidences at this point and going hmmmm...

    Actually looks ok. Hollywood girlboss obsession would have been a lot less objectionable if theyd stuck to girls with actual superpowers, like this. I mean in that context, knock yourself out.

    I think you make a good analogy here. And I'm glad it was helpful for you. I know some find it helpful and dont dispute that.

    We're probably not allowed to say so in the grown up section because it may hurt someones feelings, but at some point in your exploration of therapy I hope you consider the conclusion many of us have reached, that its just a (mostly benevolent) trick, and that any good that could be "achieved by...

    This, exactly. No matter what excuse a person made for it, no matter what motivation they claimed, the reality was that they were treated as an actual RL woman by a sizable fraction of players in the game. The purpose of a system is what it does.

    After the last episode this Mexican chick is a strong contender for most annoying Sheridan character ever. "When I kick you out you're not supposed to stay gone. You're supposed to figure out what you did wrong, then come back and apologize. Next time I kick you out, don't stay out!"

    Such a boomer thing. My parents do that shit too. The phone rings and they will literally get up from the dinner table to go get it. It doesnt even rustle me, I find it hilarious. Whats worse is my inlaws. They'll answer their cell phone while still sitting at the table.

    I dunno. I don't think they mentioned the length of the sequence, only that it was a 78 minute long signal. Assuming the signal encodes about 10-100 bases per second it'd get you into the range of virus genome sizes.

    The worst thing about this argument (and holy fuck have we rehashed this a million times) Yeah its gay to roleplay a female character in a RPG, but thats been going on so long its practically a tradition by now. its much, much gayer to play a first person game in third person.
