I wore comfortable shoes I can run in to all first dates after that.

This absolutely breaks my heart to read. Like I as a man will probably never relate to this struggle or be able to understand it on a personal level but probably all of my woman friends would read this and either think, “hey, that’s good advice” or “yup I already do that as well as XYZ to stay safe”

Like fuck. How is it that I put exactly zero effort into not being a creepy rapey predator, and I’m not chasing women to their cars, yet at the same time every woman that I know has a story at least somewhat similar? Why does it feel almost inherently true that there will always be a subset of shitty guys that view women as their prey/right/property/conquest?

What a shit world we’re living in.

I’m sorry for rambling and I’m sorry that this is something you have to live with.

This reads like someone in the comments of an Onion article mad that someone would spread false information.

It’s a joke, g. Throw some dice and make up some bullshit RAW of your own, it’s fun.

Heavens no! It’s just an idea that I realized was possible and have decided to state it as fact. They probably are, right?

Money is The One Ring

“Japan has had the best 2000s tech since the 80s” I think is the succinct phrase you were looking for

+1 for the pouch Haines (boxer briefs) I’m literally wearing a pair right now

I think I’m gonna jump off a bridge.

I dunno if I’ll be able to afford it, though.

Huh, no shit! It’s been a year already.

I think that means I’m getting old.

Not necessarily PC related, but:

Uninterrupted Power Supply

Think that’s that wizards get when they’re having trouble studying.

I live in a newly developed area. The nearest convenience store to me is a ~10 minute drive. Also, since people only started living here a few years ago, the city has only just started paying attention to quality of life things like shade trees, so you’d be walking a good 45 minutes there and back in direct sunlight.

I fucking hate this country 🙃

Look up a shaved silverback… them mofos are scary.

I genuinely didn’t recognize what song you were referring to because the “some” was not stretched and “body” was not emphasized 😂

Sorry man, I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking.

If you are able to load the content on your computer without infringing copyright laws, you’re allowed to circumvent whatever the website has in place to store whatever data you would like from whatever website you would like, regardless of the nature of the site, so long as the content is legal (is not CP) and again not being presented in a way that infringes aforementioned copyright laws.

If you’re asking why the copyright laws exist, I can’t really help you with that one.

Who said that you can’t scrape content from the other place?

If you scraped a pirate site and stored a bunch of links to copyrighted content you’d probably be fine,

If you’re referring to the last line, I say I wouldn’t want authorities to find it because I don’t want to have to explain it. I’m 99% sure someone would not just store links to a bunch of pirated content for fun, they probably have accessed said pirated content, now you have to explain to the authorities why you have links to pirated content without implicating yourself in copyright infringement.

Like I said, probably fine, I just wouldn’t want the hassle if I somehow got caught.

If you scraped a pirate site and stored a bunch of links to copyrighted content you’d probably be fine, actually using those links to download or share copyrighted content is what’s illegal. It’d be like buying the stuff to make a bomb or drugs, but then not making any bombs or drugs.

That being said, while not necessarily illegal, I wouldn’t want authorities to find my bomb and drug ingredients, or my scraped piracy links, as I’d probably have some 'splainin to do.

(Not a lawyer)

Do I not amplify the background noise when I turn it up myself? I think they’re looking more for a “variable volume” option rather than any actual audio engineering

Hell yeah! I would’ve loved one of these as a kid. I was always the one climbing on the outside of the jungle gym getting yelled at by school supervisors.

If I fall, I’ll know I can’t pull off that maneuver (yet), and I won’t do it again (yet), and you won’t have to yell at me! So just let me fall!

This reminds me of my grandpa, who gave me my first pocket knife when I must have been 6 or 7. I was really into making bows and arrows out of twigs and branches I’d found in the yard, and he gave it to me simply as a tool for a hobby I’d formed. Everyone freaked out at first, but he taught me how to use a knife safely and I don’t think I ever cut myself (as a child anyways. I’m a reckless adult).

If we stop teaching kids to be afraid of stuff because of what might happen, and instead teach them about how things work and the consequences of misusing them, I think we’d have less people afraid to use the stove in their 20s.

I really hate that Nintendo keeps putting “new” in titles. There’s the New 3DS, a New Mario game, and I think there was a New Mario party? Could be wrong on that but I remember there was a “New Mario 2” 🤦🏾‍♂️
