Its staring to be clear that Epstein was basically a “contractor” for blackmail to be outsourced to.

A sabbatical has also come to mean a lengthy, intentional break from a career for non-academic professionals as well. There are very few norms and expectations for non-academic, or professional, sabbaticals. They can be paid or unpaid, affiliated with one’s employer or self-directed, and have a variety of durations, from several weeks to over a year

where do you think sugar comes from?
- Comment on Bri'ish Cuisine 2 days ago:
It’s made with ~11 cubes of sugar for a single portion.
You won’t belive how much sugar is in fruit
health.clevelandclinic.org/fruits-high-in-sugar
Grams of sugar in one large orange: 17.2.
The internet says one sugar cube is 4 grams. Let’s be kind to me and round down the cubes of sugar to 10 and round up the sugar in the orange to 20.
Basically, if you made duck a la orange with 2 oranges, you’d be using the same amount of sugar.
It’s not that divorced from the reality of the situation expected in kitchens.

The chicken itself is probably fine.
Duck a’laronge is fine. The acidic drink might even have worked as a marinade. We have coq au vin as well.
One time I made chicken with pears and pear cider. It worked well.
I think this dish is better than it’s made out to be.
Fuck that rice though

Dude ok, I’m going to post some corrections, but you’re too annoying.
But that picture is like those AI videos on youtube today where the thumbnail doesn’t show up in the video.
It’s wikipedia. The photo is from 2009, and it’s uploaded 2015. It’s a real thing, it isn’t AI, not everything is fake news, things happen.
Does this count?
That’s not bathwater, it’s panties.

There was for instance an English internet personality who sold her used bath water a few years ago.
no doubt, but that was one person, not a pattern of behaviour by the masses

GTA clones stopped (THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT).
I mean, open world games are commonplace. It’s like saying “doomclones” stopped. Yeah, they became fpses.
but on the other hand “realistic crime open world games” kinda gta knockoffs were more commonplace back then.
Unfortunately, somehow, gta feels like a gta knockoff. I didn’t even finish V, and the satire just seemed less biting, and late to the punch. Like the jokes it was making had already been made elsewhere, so it felt stale and done before.

Because arab countries are looked down on for various reasons, but the general social conservative attitudes towards women are shared with arab countries from a social perspective, and not a political perspective.
Like, they didn’t ban women from driving, but they still have ideas like “Christmas cake” (women are unwanted after they reach 25, since no one wants xmas cake after the 25th of dec [NB : I do not agree with this idea])

it’s an xbox 360 S which is different to a xbox one s, not to be confused with the xbox series s.

I mean yeah. There isn’t that much of a drastic shift in game design, except for the bleeding of RPG mechanics into more genres, more roguelite mechanics in indie games (choose one of 3) and having equipment systems in multiplayer FPSes. The biggest hit of 2024 was basically solitaire.
It’s hardly that much more different.
Wheras, going from snes through ps1 to xbox 360, things went from 2d (and extremely crude 3d) to textured 3d with jank controls to high fidelity games with standardised controls. Not much changed after that. The huge “innovations” of VR, motion controls, are basically niche due to economic factors, so people aren’t exactly having commonplace motion control VR experiences that put them in the game and comparing that to ducking behind cover in gears of war. They’re comparing making cover in Fortnite with ducking behind cover in gears of war.
