  Blasphemy! How can you look at that perfect hairy specimen and not think that is a good shape?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does Harry Potter only know fifth grade math?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, I suspect the average adult in real life probably only remembers, and uses, 5th grade math.

  At least you still get a cookie!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨King shit⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For those that are confused by the name change, Jack is an old nickname for John. It was most popular in the 17th century and has been on the decline since, so I don’t think many people today use it that way anymore. Or any people younger than 70, anyway.

  Of a similar origin, there’s Jim for James, Dick for Richard (giggity), Harry for Henry, and Sally for Sarah, among others. I think some of these are more popular than others, but it seems to me that they are mostly out of use in general, though some of the nicknames live on as normal names.

  If you don’t own it when paying for it then you aren’t stealing it when pirating it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Citrus Lingerie⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh shit, I think I just discovered a kink. I have always enjoyed ripping open those bags, but I have never had the opportunity to rip fishnet stockings. Now, it occurs to me that I may really enjoy ripping open a pair of fishnet stockings to get to the…fruit…inside.

  Drivers Tend To Kill Pedestrians At Night. Thermal Imaging May Help.

  Thermal imaging will definitely help spot those dirty walkers so I won’t miss as many. Those bastards can blend in sometimes and some of them are deceptively quick. The little ones especially are tough to take out. Of course, sometimes those guys just run right in front of you which are easy points but it takes the sport out of it.

  Anyway, it’s about time someone put the right tools in the hands of us hunters. I can’t wait to have an evening cruise with my lights off and really get a good stalk on, you know?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t believe that ad blockers modify the user agent, so if you can modify the user agent of FF to emulate Chrome and solve the issue, then that means Chrome users that use ad blockers don’t have to deal with the delay and therefore their claim that they aren’t punishing FF users his utter horse shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube Abblock Reckoning as a service problem?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  encode ads as part of the video file

  I suspect that an AI could be trained to be able to recognize ads, or at least the most annoying, ads.

  Also, a community driven project, like SponsorBlock, where users identify ads to build up a database could be created.

  These are just a couple of ideas to defeat embedded ads, and I’m not a genius programmer by any means. This is just another front in a war that has been going on since at least the 90’s and as long as blocking ads is less annoying than watching them, we’re winning.

  This article was written just last week and it offers no new information. You have to admit that it is late to the party. Is the reporter going to next post an article reporting that there is fighting in Israel?

  It’s definitely the lowest hanging of low hanging jokes and I just got lucky to see it a few minutes after it was posted.

  Everyone needs to be on the lookout for 4 turtles and a rat.

  Well, of course! It takes imagination to be a great chef.

  I hope not. I would be miserable in such an insecure relationship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Is Monetizing Human Suffering at an Open Air Drug Market⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And not even giving them a cut of the profits or helping them in any tangible way? Sure, sure, nothing wrong with that. If they didn’t want to be filmed, they should have stayed home…oh, right.

  Sometimes I think that instead of antacid’s, I’m taking crazy pills.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess I missed the bit where the company was a bullshit one…because it’s not. Also, the two were romantically linked because they watched a Virgin Galactic launch together. Imply that I’m a bootlicker all you want, but that’s a pretty tenuous “romantic” link. Regardless of whether or not he’s banging her, it isn’t fraud. Sorry to burst your bubble.

  Criticizing billionaires for dumb non-stories just waters down the real reasons we should be critical of them and makes us look like fools; like PETA criticizing Obama for killing a fly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Just curious, how is it fraudulent? Who’s being defrauded? Did I miss something?

  Hey, there’s 2 parties, so 2 opinions. Plenty! If we had more options, we would all suffer from decision paralysis.

  I think that they’re making perfect the enemy of good…and they can because people keep throwing money at them. Most dev teams don’t have that luxury.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don’t we use radiators as heat sinks in the summer and pump cold water through them?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they’re becoming more common in residential in the US, at least that’s the impression I get from the number of articles and videos that get pushed my way. They’re not as good in colder climates, evidently, but hybrid systems where there is still a furnace but a heat pump for cooling seem to be a good alternative in those situations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it make sense for a person in a "privileged class" to move from a red state?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, it seems to me that you have all but decided to move and the only thing holding you back is fear of change.

  Man, if I were in your position, I’d downsize my belongings and become a digital nomad and I wouldn’t limit myself to the US. Spain, for example, has a new digital nomad visa that you can get for a year, renewable for three (I think), and it’s not really any more expensive to live there than a typical Midwestern city. Even cheaper in some areas of the country. If I didn’t have a family, I would move there in a heartbeat, at least for awhile.

  There’s a lot to see and experience in the US too, though, so if you aren’t feeling adventurous enough to live outside the country, you might look at Minnesota. Duluth, just as an example, is about the same cost of living as Dallas and today’s high there is 69 (giggity) vs 106 in Dallas. I haven’t been to MN yet, but I’m planning a huge road trip for next summer and northern MN looks gorgeous.

  The world is your oyster, my friend.

  It was definitely their dynamic that made the show. In fact, I’m pretty sure that Goggins was only supposed to be in a couple of episodes.
