Cut down in it’s prime :(

It is…inevitable. A shame, really. >:)

*human porn.

Google can’t even block yiff with safe search, lol. AI has incredible difficulty with evaluating furry porn. Which means that Mitch McConnell is going to live out his final days looking at anthropomorphic hyenas that could benchpress a fridge and have 11 inches of freedom, lmao.

Generations of southerners and people in the central US are going to be looking at considerable amounts of yiff if conservatives have their way.

Probably big. There was an interesting bit on NBC news last night about chinese gangs running drugs in Oklahoma and other states. Apparently, they have incredible grow ops and dgaf if they lose $1m in drugs to law enforcement on a regular basis.

Must be a really big op…

I just wish they could fucking do it for my goddamned healthcare data. Switching states, practices, getting your full history of vaccines from a dusty file cabinet 24 years ago at a pediatric clinic…not a goddamned SQL table in sight. Wait days, fax everything, someone in the chain never makes the transfer, and you have to get it to your doctor and possibly multiple medical insurance agencies multiple times.

Oh, and literally everything running on different DBs at hospitals, when they use them. Even if it’s the same company running DBs for different hospital networks.

Same thing for moving states/addresses/voting/mail/licenses. No DBs. The only consolation is that apparently Canada is similarly fucked up and also doesn’t have a country-wide health DB, haha. So painful.

I had already been getting sick of superhero movies, but god damn that one was awful imo. The genre should have ended on a high note and stuck with that. It’s a great time to try new, non-super hero movies.

Because the whole “casual super hero start -> personal setback -> bad guy: all your base belong to us -> super hero assembles a team to destroy NYC -> bad guy loses all bases in 40 minutes” plot is very tired.

The Smokey Brights. They have consistently good bangers throughout the years. Some of their music was featured in the indie computer game Pacific Drive, and it was fantastic. Save Us Sarah, Fancy Ketchup, and Ocean Shores are some of my favorites. Sad Boy Song #39 too.

Luckily, I dislike the CCP as much as I dislike the Falun Gong. Their invasion of privacy and treatment of Xinjiang and LGBTQ people is appalling. Not to mention the other regions they control, or the countries they try and coerce, like Taiwan or other nations in the South China Sea.

I’d love nothing more than to have Xi step down and get replaced by someone progressive and modern, in the western sense.

Family went to Shen Yun once. First half was like, beautiful dancing. Then the second half, they basically locked the exit doors as some white guy got up on stage and started spouting the weirdest shit about a golden UFO and crazy political stuff. Shaved a few years off my family’s lives, wondering if they were gonna get out of the building or not, lol.

No shit, it’s run by the Falun Gong, not exactly the bastion of free and unbiased reporting, lmao. How does anyone think they make money off a free newspaper dumped all over rural areas? xD

I’ve got bad news about other Falun Gong ventures such as Shen Yun, too, hahah.

I think they are worried about liability, if I had to guess.

I wish we could offload podcasts and audio books. I have zero interest in them, or paying for them.

I kinda assumed people understood the messages behind Battlefield 1, Death Stranding, and Helldivers 2, lol. Most of the messages are telegraphed pretty clearly.

Different chair, but similar experience. I got a used Steelcase leap v2 from a refurbishing company, and I absolutely love it. Used frame with upgraded hardware and new upholstery for about half of MSRP. Had a few scratches but otherwise looks like new.

If you are ever in need of another, Crandall Office Furniture is 10/10.

It works much better. Your tongue is like velcro, so a bristle brush doesn’t really get plaque out. The tongue scrapers depress the bumps and scrape everything clean.

(I have a cheap metal one so I can throw it in the dishwasher. Plaque can eventually kinda make it dirty, but the dishwasher cleans it right off without deforming it)

They are really convenient for getting around the city! :)

I got a 12mm thick chain from Oxford and a kryptonite ulock and so far, I’ve been fine (I live in a high bike crime city).

It’s really about making your bike unappealing to steal because of how long it would take to cut through a beefy chain in two places and a Ulock in two places. It can be done, though. I also have a bike horn that sounds if someone moves the bike.

Aventon sells ebikes starting at $1,000, and Juiced Bikes go on sale for $1,150 (they are consumer direct unless you live in San Diego). Radpower and Lectric bikes aren’t too spendy, either. Ebikes are getting surprisingly affordable!

(My little electric commuter next to my traditional weekend mountain bike!)

Vote. He’s not allowed to turn this country into a “shithole country” in his words.

There were bug chasers during the pandemic, too. >_>

A bidet, an ebike, a tongue scraper.

The first means no more clogged toilets, no toilet paper needed, and a fantastically clean ass always.

Also comes with side benefits like being able to eat the hottest foods imaginable, not getting hemorroids or healing those ones you may already have, being able to wipe your ass with two broken wrists (if you mountain bike or are old), not getting forever chemicals on your asshole, and having an ass that your SO won’t think is disgusting.

A commuter ebike, because it allows you to travel 1-45 miles stupidly easy, which saves a staggering amount of money on gas (uses pennies of electricity), parking fees, and wear and tear on your car. Side benefits include not being absolutely enraged in traffic, occasionally beating your own drive times in a car, and not having parking anxiety at popular destinations such as beaches, parks, downtown shopping, or ferries. Provides a decent amount of exercise as it basically becomes an exercise bike when the assist is turned off.

It also will allow you to get up hills without getting sweaty.

Tongue scraper- removes plaque from your tongue in cakes. Way better than mouthwash. Leaves your breath much fresher after meals. Works best at night, but also can remove bad morning breath. Get a small metal one. Dramatically changes your breath quality and makes your mouth feel cleaner. Great if you plan on doing some kissing.

This was in the 70s and 80s, they probably didn’t have the tech. Kinda old news.

The new hotness is vampire facials at unlicensed clinics. They mix up your own blood with someone else’s, or don’t clean the centrifuge, you get infected.
