It's like that episode of Andor. Once you're in you can never leave.

It takes an acidic soil to get that blue

It always cracks me up when people say private companies can do the job better with less regulation. Most businesses fail and the news is constantly full of stories about fraud.

God damn, I feel so much shame for the way the Haitians there are treated. They first had to deal with a former president turning them into dog eaters and now have a police department that seems ready to watch them die. The only union that needs busting in this country is the police one.

I worked for an industrial auction company where I had to cold call plants that were being closed down or going bankrupt. These guys received dozens of calls a day from people like us while they were dealing with losing their jobs. Trying to buy all the equipment and profit on their ill fortune.

The goal was to be the first to call them before any of the other places. So once I had to break the news to the plant manager they were getting shut down. Sometimes the information was bad and nothing was happening to their plant but they still got tons of calls from vultures looking to pick their bones. It was a shameful job and all for just $32k a year. The owner had 2 rolls Royce phantoms and a private jet.

Says someone who's never been to Ohio before. Their state motto is "abandon hope all ye who enter here"

My scale looks similar to this. If I leave it on it goes into sleep mode which still drains power slowly but turn on instantly as soon as there is weight on it. If I hold the power button when I'm done it turns off and makes a beep and then I have no issues turning it back on months later. Still on original batteries after 2 years.

Katamari Damacy!

What does OpenAI need a CEO for anyway? Just let chatGPT run the company if they are so gung-ho about it.

The 5th circuit includes Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi so they can go fuck themselves. You think I'll live by the opinion of some backwater states? Only a corrupt supreme court would uphold this ruling-ohhh fuckity fuck fuck!

The article I read recognized him for his contributions to the coal industry lobby and expanding horse betting. A real go-getter.

It's not for you. Its for corporations who want to fire half their staff and replace them with an algorithm. That's why it has such a high valuation.

I'm in my 40s and I've been playing counterstrike since I was in my 20s. I play other games briefly but anytime i'm bored I still hop on CS. It's a habit like checking your locks 3 times or taking your clothes off to poop

Please don't ask me how I managed to take this picture...

If I was in Texas I'd be checking my voter registration. They are one of those states indiscriminately removing people from them.

Piracy and anime are joined at the hip. Even in the 90s before we had streaming, you could walk into any Japanese toy store in New York and guess what you would find? Rows and rows of bootleg anime DVDs. At half the price (or lower) you'd pay and with titles not released in the US. There are so many pirate sites now I hadn't even heard of the ones in this article.

So after 30+ years of fighting this losing battle why do they think they will win it now?

Because things were much worse in the beforetime

98 million are bots

I've never understood this trend of having a bedroom boulder. My wife had to have a granite one too 😭

Their unequal treatment of Dem and GOP just proves they are no longer a news organization, just a propaganda machine.

Like this:

When you're least expecting it... I will be there. Watch your back... for the tickle monster. And his knife... of love

They had to. It's far too dangerous for him to be near actual water. If his diaper gets too saturated it will drag him under.

Are they going to require government monitors if you own a CNC machine next?

I thought the deal I got on my KuKluxKlean was too good to be true!

I remember when Leica released their first digital full frame camera. I was excited cause I had a m4 that I used for a decade with a bunch of lenses. Searching thru estate sale after sale to compile them. The M9 came out on 9/9/9 and I was on vacation in Tokyo at the same time. figured if I waited a few years I could get a used one maybe.

So my wife and I went to the Leica store to look at it on the release day. When we went in there I chatted the guys up and they told me a preorder fell thru and gave me an opportunity to buy it. I wasn't even really considering it when my wife told them we will take it. I had half the money and she gave me the other half. I got to spend the rest of that week taking photos in Japan with my digital Leica instead of my film one. Traveled all around the world with that camera. It was the most expensive thing besides a car and house I've ever bought.

Donnie just a few hours earlier:

Those people are fucking morons. I also love the videos of them walking around tourist spots in Shanghai with the titles "I braved dangerous China!" Like it's such a challenge to travel there. You should see the editing when they visit a 2nd tier city, you'd think they were talking about Detroit.

Everyone nowadays just looks for the videos that fit their own internal narrative. On the surface an authoritative ruled nation is peaceful, has little crime, only brief glimpses of poverty. But under the surface it is a nightmare, especially if you aren't Han Chinese. Step out of line and you literally disappear. Unlike Mao's days they don't need your neighbor to turn you in, they are watching everything you do, buy, eat and travel to. It's how Facebook would run a country if they had a chance.

Some dude out there, smoking a bong right now, has a Flac of everything ever made. Piracy will save history

Cy is the nickname of Cygnus X-1, a galactic X-ray source in the constellation Cygnus and roofing YouTube influencer.

That raise was only 6.25% per year in an age where prices are increasing more than that. It's not enough for a token raise anymore, people are seriously underpaid and executives are just outsiders that strip out the cash and give it to more outsiders.

The key is to just be cool and not a dick. They are the Keanu Reeves of animals. Keanu Reeves is the capybara of people.

Yeah, pointing out his weakness and blaming it on the people closest to him obviously works. He trusts no one so all it takes is a whisper to pollute his mind.

Something tells me she's not a real doctor.

When they also realize Democrats are making America great again their tiny little brains will explode.

Jake Tapper is a fool reading what he was told to. Not a journalist or reporter. CNN has been captured by the right.

I wish I was compared to a cow. People usually tell me I resemble a jackass.

In case you were worried they have an accessory that will channel your farts directly to the face mask. Metadox knows what gamers want.
