No. The answer to Trump is not anarchism.

Second, those masks are associated with a whole bunch of events I wouldn’t want to associate with. They were also worn at the Jan. 6 riots.

Third, I’ve seen firsthand how much those masks piss cops off. If I were to attend some event, I might want to cover my face. I wouldn’t do it with a glaring, neon “shoot me now” Guy Fawkes mask.

Drink less? It’s optional. If it causes you issues, just don’t.

Doing pretty good atm, so probably take my person out for dinner and drinks.

Interesting. I very much want to know. A truck drifts into my lane to give the parked car more distance. Any driver doing anything unexpected when I’m on a motorcycle, extra vulnerable to everything.

The parked car itself isn’t a safety issue, what happens because of it might be. Waze gives me an increased edge against other drivers’ unpredictable reactions to the parked car.

Hot water isn’t even that fancy anymore. My ~$30 Amazon bidet ties into both hot and cold taps. I just let it run slow enough to not hit my butt as I’m pooping, which is more than enough time to flush the tubes with warm water, then crank the pressure up to reach my ass with a warm spray. No icy shock needed.

No electricity needed, purely pressure from the water lines and a mechanical valve.

Learning curve to start, possibly above average messes on occasion? It took all of three days to get the hang of mine. The TP is just to dry, it never comes back dirty anymore unless I am having serious distress.

ChatGPT prompt:

Write an obituary for Trump in the style of a Trump speech.

Alien Weaponry, New Zealand metal band comes first to mind. Lots of Maori influence, all three members have Maori ancestry.

Yeah, but hiring is a big series of assumptions. Resumes and interviews only give you so much confidence on how a person will actually do in the job.

Speaking for myself, I want to hire quickly. I get 10 resumes for 1 spot, I’m not going to agonize over whether the PhD is having a mid-life change and really wants the fast food job, or if they are going to split in a month, or hell, if they have some addiction or personal problem that prevents them from holding a job that matches their qualifications. If there’s a candidate that meets the reqs and seems like a fit, I’m moving right along with them.

If the PhD is convincing in an interview that they’re really just looking for a switch, sure, but I’m not going to waste a lot of time and energy waiting to be convinced when there are other candidates with a more expected profile also vying for the job.

Sure. More qualifications means more pay will be expected. And if all that needs done is The Thing for $, no reason to pay $$$ for The Thing+++.

Multiple upvotes on my comment indicates I’m not the only one tired of Boomer “shit on my partner” humor.

Before people get excited, search penal code 377. OP is misrepresenting it and slapping a rainbow over it.

377 is a anti-homosexuality law. Protections for men who have been raped are still needed, but are a separate issue from 377.

Here is the text of 377:

Unnatural offences: Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine. Explanation: Penetration is sufficient to constitute the carnal intercourse necessary to the offence described in this section.

No. Sometimes I have a computer in my dreams but it is usually useless.

“She’s hot, but really ought to keep it on the DL for me to enjoy and no one else to see because think of the children”.

What a weird little humble brag while also putting down your girlfriend and blaming her for broader society’s behavior. If she’s not lying, advocating for unhealthy habits or trends, encouraging parasocial relationships, or spreading misinformation, she’s not the problem.

There are a few DIY guides out there.

I don’t think a bathtub is the way to go. They aren’t long enough for most adults to float in. Plus they take a lot of salt, so either the bathtub is dedicated as a sensory tank or you have to drain it / refill it frequently (which gets expensive) in between using it as a normal bath.

The salty water can go down the drain though.

They’d get less plasma. Putting the non-plasma portion back in what enables people to donate/sell plasma a couple times a week versus ~monthly or less if donating whole blood.

Also, we finally have the vampire bat population under control. We can’t be feeding them that much blood, their strength will return and we’ll be right back to the dark vampiric ages.

Keeps the “wrong people” from donating 🤔?

I Saw the TV Glow. I’m glad I followed advice and didn’t read about it or watch trailers beforehand. Oof, what a gut punch of a movie.

Like the others I’ve only seen pay for blood plasma, not whole blood. Whole blood gets you a cookie, sometimes a sticker or a T-shirt, or once I got a $15 gift card but I’m pretty sure that was from the company sponsoring the charity blood drive and not the Red Cross who was collecting the blood.

And pay for plasma isn’t a lot, like $30 a donation, 1-2 donations per week. You get more working a single shift at a fast food restaurant. Plasma also takes longer to donate than whole blood because you have to sit there while the plasma is separated out and the remainder pumped back into you.

So the answer is: not rich at all.

Fair use once it’s posted on the web? Thank you very much for the framework to pirate anything and everything.
