You can still be beautiful on the inside

Heat is heat, “low density large volume” or whatever, they’ve successfully used it in cold climate locations to heat residential homes already.

Technologic.

I’m not sure if it’s changed, but in places where the PSN isn’t available, are the players still able to play?

YouTube can burn.

They generate more money than whole countries and you want to give them more? I don’t have to pay them shit for them to make money off of me from my browsing history alone.

I would rather speed forward the enshittification to the point that all creators decide to strike and hop over collectively to another, kinder, video hosting site.

In the meantime Google benefits from my viewing data/history and sells that over and over. They’re making money hand over fist and then when you pay them for a “premium” experience you’re just handing them more. You’re already a cash cow for them with just using the site. Screw that noise.

Give directly to the creator.

The string above this pointed out that the greyhound bus is more expensive than the delta flight from the same start to finish.

I’m not saying the price increase isn’t bullshit or acceptable, but you are already paying more for the greyhound for slower travel.

Maybe the convenience of speed as well? A plane will get you coast to coast in just hours vs a bus or train.

C-O-C-A-I-N-E!

It’s been years since it was released. If you haven’t seen it at this point then saying *spoilers! * can only be seen as sarcastic.

You might wanna use a /s

I think it’s more the psychology of the nofap group themselves that’s hurtful. I’ve seen many/most discussions that are fine, but others are just wildly toxic with a cult-like “discipline”.

You’re either with us or against us.

Us vs. the system/females/people in power.

You’re better than others. Or, if you trip up, you’re garbage.

There’s no in-between and no room for mistakes.

That’s not good for you in the long run and it’ll hurt more than it helps.

Yes.

No canned onion rings on top?

It won’t be a terminator style takeover by AI, mankind will simply lend all of our trust and capability to it rendering us dependant. Even to the point of liking our computer overlords.

I think that particular apocalypse is a long time off and can be avoided, but it’s coming.

“What the fuck is livestock inversion studies?”, my mother exclaimed with tears in her eyes while her shaking hands grasped the course syllabus.

It’s because they dissolve within 5 minutes of use after poking them through the plastic lid.

I was gifted a metal collapsible one recently because of my bitching about it and it’s a better experience.

That’s the dream! Congrats!

So I become a Sol baby? Everything I have would need to be changed.

The only winners here are the January babies.

We’re comparing China and the USA. That’s the topic.

There’s a reason Florida currently has thousands of vacancies in teaching positions and is one of the bottom 10 states in terms of education.

Teachers are still free to do what they want and express their opinions (i.e., staying and risking prison, leaving the state, not working as a teacher, being politically active, teaching outside the classroom).

Book burning and expressing your opinion are protected rights. It’s absolutely embarrassing that the law exists, but the law will be challenged in court.

Discourse doesn’t happen in China. If the government wanted, you just go to prison and they throw the key away. That’s if you’re not killed outright. No discussion, no politics, nothing.

The USA has freedom. China does not.

EDIT - Ironically, even you and I discussing this online is forbidden in China. You’re not allowed to express your disgust with problems of the Chinese government or state.

Nah. That’s a strawman argument there. Killing someone is not equivalent to saying something offensive or burning books.
