Starscream… what a great observation. I can see it. Would never have thought of that comparison myself.

I don’t think he knows about second vagina, Pip.

Even the serious stuff is funny if unintentionally so. Might as well lean in?

I mean I definitely miss the high concept porn of the 80’s but that’s been gone for a long time. Last one I saw was Pirates! and even that was mostly played for laughs.

It’s often painful to watch bad actors take the material too seriously, especially when it’s so ridiculous.

There is some serious fetish stuff. I can’t recommend any off the top of my head, but there’s a guy (producer? Always stars him) who makes some like serious psychological/dom/sub/poly movies that I think are well done for porn. Guess I could probably figure it out of there was interest but I think I found it on torrent by blind luck so not sure exactly where to look.

I don’t know what his deal was but anyone who is that gleefully belligerent when confronted by people who don’t like what he’s doing isn’t really anyone I want around. Coincidently, I blocked him today. I don’t think he was doing anything wrong other than sheer volume of one-note posts. But I got tired of all the comment sections being about him. And I think I’ve absorbed enough of his point of view for a time.

For all I know he was just trying to keep folks riled up enough to vote. But those posts didn’t add to the value of the community IMO.

Swing state voter here voting on Election Day because I don’t want any stop the count fuckery to rob me of my vote.

Not a Dem but sure as fuck voting for them.

You can’t prosecute political crimes. That would be partisan.

If it’s effective, it will only be for the wealthy. If it’s a mixed bag, the wealthy will decide who gets it. If it’s a placebo or nearly so, it’ll be everywhere and cheap.

Well better local than cloud if it does what you need.

Once you establish a particular measurement as a goal, one of the first things people do is game the measurement, making it less useful.

And so it goes.

I appreciate the tip.

The fact that he does this, I think, means he probably has something unsightly going on with his skin. Age spots, vitiligo, something. His crazy hair is to cover up the balding, so I’m sure the spray tan fixes something that can only look way worse.

Seems like someone felt really threatened by some boxes with a handful of words in them. It must suck to be that fragile.

Just stop with the conspiracy bullshit. If you believe none of it, you’ll be right 98% of the time. There’s not much else in life with such certainty.

Looks around.

Nothing has changed in Michigan from when Kamala was up by 7. I see a few more trump signs than I did 6 months ago, but nothing like in 2020.

Trump isn’t winning in Michigan.

I usually call them boards when I can’t remember the name “community”. There are lots of kinds of community. An instance might well be a community if you are browsing local. Board is shorter and my brain wants to use that word anyway.

I’m certain that video probably got a lot of likes from folks who didn’t get the irony which is probably why the algorithm associated you watching it with that crowd. (Also I’m really sus about the whole “joking about being a hateful prick” industry, but I’ll assume your assessment is spot on here.)

I would’ve upgraded to 11, but either my computer doesn’t support TPM or I just refused to turn it on. So instead I upgraded to Ubuntu. There are probably better distros but I had a limited about of time to fuck around trying them.

Mint is pretty nice, too. It felt familiar, as a windows user. But I kept installing stuff that broke the updater. So I switched and found it’s me, not the updater, and I just need to do apt update/upgrade and dpkg -i regardless, but anyway now I’m on Ubuntu.

I still have my full windows install on an SSD somewhere if I had an emergency, but I haven’t had any such emergency in about a year.

That’s fair. Guess I was half defensive but also tying the identity party to their overall lack of empathy which is broadcasted all over the rest of their identity as well. Fuck you for caring sort of thing.

I probably could’ve focused more on the later and less on the former.

I don’t need toxic masculinity (or Jesus, guns, or American flags - don’t have any of those in my life) to know steak and bacon and hamburgers are freaking delicious and I want to eat them a lot. I enjoy lots of other things, too. It’s a rare meal I don’t have some kind of meat, but I love crab and fish and chicken as much as red meat.

I suspect the correlation is more that if you can’t have empathy for your fellow humans, you damn sure can’t for animals. And I’ve never known a vegan who wasn’t driven solely by cruelty to animals.

I don’t have anything against vegans, and if the food was tastier than bacon and Ribeyes despite the lack of butter and cheese, I might choose it. But here we are. Maybe vat-grown meat will turn out. I’m not thrilled about how animals are treated, but I’m gonna omnivore.
