Join a convent/monastary and spend your life in seclusion and take up an oath of silence. Or at least let people assume you took the oath and just not talk to anybody. Spend time ‘meditating’.

It was probably on AWS

Yea, but I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what they were trying to make. Good action fighting scenes held loosely together by low effort excuses disguised as plot. And based on how much money the movies made, it’s hard to blame them for their decisions.

Oh, the movies have a TON of plot holes in them. But if you enjoy reading, the original trilogy is amazing. Half the reason those plot holes exist is they removed Carlos. He’s the bad guy and the entire reason everything is happening.

My kids use it almost daily. Really only breaks for special events. Otherwise an update fixes all other issues.

Good people don’t want the power. They want a nice easy peaceful life surrounded by loved ones. The assholes strive for power and authority. A few good people try to make a difference.

Even if you tried to make a legislature out of regular citizens forced to do the work like jury duty, it would get twisted and regulated like current jury duty.

The communism ideals are great. Problem is, they historically fail when put into practice. Funny thing, it’s because of power hungry assholes. That same reason is why democracies fail, why republics fail, why monarchies fail, why theocracies fail and so on.

If only there were a pattern here that we could learn from. One person with too much power and eventually, you’ll get an asshole so mad with power they bring the whole system down and we have to start over.

The more parties, check, balances, laws, and red tape, and the like help stave it off for longer, but nothing lasts forever. There is no perfect system that can’t be undone by assholes.

Ahahahaha I think I prefer your imagery.

Worked with a lot of people from India. I’m guessing it’s from one of the many Hindu sub-religions (is that the proper term?). They worship a lot of different gods in different ways. Though some were Muslim and did call to prayer in the afternoons. Noticed some would slide the shoe and sock off and wipe down the bottoms of their feet after washing their hands. Others didn’t go quite that far and would more touch the bottoms of their socked heels with a damp hand. I presume a more symbolic gesture than anything. Which is why I also assume it’s religious and not for hygiene.

It was only a few from hundreds that I saw this behavior from.

Wasn’t super crazy as the washing of hands and feet is also symbolic in Christianity as well.

Or just buy shares of VPN companies and then pay lawmakers to pass laws banning porn.

Did you know that Elvis’s manager sold buttons that said ‘I Hate Elvis’. Gotta play both sides.

Disclaimer: I usually wash my hands.

Those that don’t wash their hands touch the door handle leaving the restroom. They also likely touch the main door handle leaving the store. If you wash your hands, aren’t you undoing it immediately?

I thought about this a lot at my last office I worked at. We had a wide variety of washers, non-washers, religious who also washed their feet (over and under socks), and people who washed and used the paper towel to open the bathroom door but subsequently opened the next door bare handed, and the germophobe who never touched any surface barehanded.

There’s no good answer. Though, metal is a pretty bad surface for germs to live on if that helps. My recommendation is to just wash your hands and then try not to think about the rest.

When the guy keeps fucking the uglier of the two girls and the pretty one is just kinda sitting there.

When the girl doesn’t even get full naked. You’ve been fucking for almost an hour, why is your top still on? I wanna see your tiddies already!

No story or talking or setup at all.

When a girl is keening/moaning for no reason. She’s not being touched, or anything, yet she’s super loud. Breaks the willing suspense of disbelief.

Yes.

I did it by promising myself I’d laugh about it later, and then hold it in and maintain a straight face.

Works pretty well, but you do end up getting funny looks when you’re giggling to yourself out of nowhere when you think back about it.

On top of that, we’ve found that basically everything is redshifting as the universe expands. So to see a blueshifting galaxy would mean something potentially unnatural.

Honestly? Probably something like this:

the tvs for business/digital signage have stripped down os (if any), this is just a stock android tv.

I’m not a videophile, probably looks good enough for me, and they aren’t going to be dropping ads on it as they assume it’s going in a restraunt for a menu, not in your living room.

1- start an llc (pretty easy can be done online in about 20 min) 2- get jobs

Part two is the tougher one. I’ve read that a lot of programmers are selling their services on fiverr (a pretty big freelancing site) to fix AI slop.

There’s also dice.com (Though this may be more consulting/contracting than freelancing). You can filter by and get corp-to-corp contracts. These mean your llc gets paid, and then you pay yourself from that. The pay for a corp-to-corp is typically higher than a W2 because everything is included, and you have to deal with it all. Like benefits, bonuses, vacation days, supplies, etc.

So long as their ads keep getting blocked my my pi-hole I won’t notice.

I love functional programming and hate object oriented. It’s just how my brain thinks, I can and regularly do OOP, but I have to force myself to do it. Why not python? You can do BEAM in python, it’s pretty easy to learn, and it’s incredibly versatile, and you can program functionally in it too.
