100k/day (36.5 million anually) is ~0.03% of Meta's 2022 profits (121 billion). That's not a fine, it's barely even a tax. If you make 50k/year profit and the government gave you a similar fine, they'd be taking $15 from you. That sounds more like bribe money for Norwegian politicians than a good faith attempt to protect their citizens.
Idk. Based on the number of fight scenes in that series that start with glistening men ripping off their clothes before fighting, I'd argue that kiryu at least has a kink for public indecency
That's gonna be tough. Saying this as a recent M.S. graduate of a FL university, I got the hell out. I'm starting a PhD program very soon, but there's absolutely no way I'm doing it in a state where I'm reasonably worried that the next piece of legislation is going to result in Desantis' brownshirts arresting me for thought crimes. Red states are dangerous places for academics.
I admittedly didn't look too hard for that 121bil figure, your source seems much better than the "Google it and grab the first number I see" approach I used. I see 91.36B gross profit for 2022 in your source. That makes the 36,500,000 fine ~0.04% of their profits instead or the 0.03% I got at first, equivalent to a $20 fine on 50k profit. I think the rest of what I said is still valid with the new numbers. Thanks for keeping me honest!
I'm trying to remember the brainrot memes from my childhood but I can't because I am le tired
“Why should the attorney general of the United States be held to a different standard. No one is above the law.”
Fucking rich, you two faced piece of shit. Wonder how she feels about that statement with regards to trump
Idk. I was in a highschool debate club a bit over a decade ago, and I was very good at the public forum event. Like, regularly in the top 32 for both the NFL and CFL national tournaments good. There were other people at the top of that ladder with me that made very effective use of the "pound the table" strategy, and how well it worked often boiled down to judge variance. People act that way in debates because it absolutely works on some viewers
I used to live in an unfinished basement in Pennsylvania that had a lot of these little guys. They used to hang out on the stairs on the ceilings and in my nightmares. Never saw any other kind of bug in that house though
Sqrt(-gay) = Queer i for the math guy
Disclaimer: I'm a straight cis man, but I have/have had quite a few lesbian friends over time who have explained this joke to me. Take my explanation with the appropriate grain of salt
"the dating pool is tiny to nonexistant" is a common complaint I've heard from lesbians I know, probably related to the fact that I've mostly lived in rural areas. Given the low availability of partners, its more common to jump into relationships quickly and really commit to them. I've also heard a lot of "I really want somebody to live with me so I don't just choke on something and die". Probably less common nowadays, but I'm from a generation when it was harder to be gay publicly --> harder for lesbians to find roommates. Living with other women often meant being stigmatized by straight women that don't understand lesbians are people and not just sex crazed harlots, and honestly that but worse because of a higher threat of violence with straight men. I've heard that moving in with a romantic partner as a lesbian is a move that lets you have a roommate with less objectification related to your gender/orientation. Again, idk how much of that is true today, but that is my understanding of the origins of the joke
I've really enjoyed how much ATS incentivizes that optimization, given that years spent on a settlement count toward the blightstorm cycle. It's really satisfying to figure out how to max rep as quickly as possible, especially with really hard modifiers like the "no orders" one
It's been like 8 years, but a chromebook dual booted with debian+xfce got me through undergrad. There's a set of scripts out there called "crouton" that made it really easy to do
At first glance I thought this was a big fancy bread display
This does not look like it would keep ones hands clean enough to play cards while enjoying their meats and cheeses. The Earl of Sandwich would be dismayed
One of the slave node's child process failed, so the master node sent a signal to terminate the child and restart the slave
There's pretty solid reason my research group is pushing to use "head node and executor nodes" nomenclature rather than the old-school "master node and slave nodes" nomenclature, haha
It's basically chaff, lol. We've known chaff is an effective radar countermeasure since the 40s, and it seems like the researchers have found the lidar and optical equivalents of chaff. What really scares me is the idea of this evolving into more sophisticated deception attacks like range or velocity gate pulls. No idea how you'd do that with lidar or optically, but I'd bet money that's a line item on a black budget somewhere
Warhammer 40k. I'm also a semi accomplished electrical engineer and currently working on a PhD in data science/machine learning, so at least I got the "good at math and science" variety to support my "expensive hobby" variety
My parents had puppies when I was born and I used to roam around with them all day. The day lil baby me discovered that I could access the milkbone cupboard, we feasted like kings.
Based. Outrage clicks are still clicks, and clicks still lead to better metrics for the IPO. No publicity is bad publicity in the age of outrage media
I got really caught up in the "make number bigger" cycle of lifting, and each 5lbs I added to any lift was a huge dopamine spike. Obviously you can't keep increasing weight forever, but I found that the steady and easy dopamine hits from noob gains were enough to establish it as a habit in spite of my attention span
I feel like it's one of those things where you don't need to understand it, you just need to respect how other people want to be addressed. For reference, I'm a cis man. It's really easy to take for granted how gender affirming it is for me every time somebody refers to me with my preferred pronouns, he/him, because I've just never had the experience of somebody disrespecting that. I never had to justify my pronouns or fight for the basic respect of people using my preferred pronouns. The idea that anybody should be required to justify their pronouns or fight for that same respect that a lot of us take for granted is horseshit.
Mine does that but only the 1-6 buttons. And like... if I'm being honest microwaving something for longer than 6 minutes is probably less than 1% of my total microwave usage, but it feels like the greatest injustice ever experienced by anybody when I have to press cook time then 8 0 0 to get my microwave to run for 8 minutes
I'm both the shorts guy and the music guy, though I do enjoy screamo. Country is my "I can't listen to this dogshit" genre
This is where most of my passwords come from
I also can't believe a band whose name is a euphemism for semen would use such weird album art. Smhing my head
Stands for something like child sexual abuse material iirc. It's a more formal term for child porn, the kind you'd see in like Facebook moderator job descriptions or court filings against accused sex offenders
I cast non-magic missile!
Reasons I developed a "therapy is an expensive waste of my time" mindset after living in FL for a decade. I'm not paying $200 a visit for some pompous shitbag to tell me I'm sad because I don't simp for Jesus
Honestly I want to see him just start seal team 6ing the fuckers until they walk back this obviously fucked ruling. I'm not usually one for the stupid games stupid prizes cliche, but God damn is this clown court playing stupid games

You got it backwards, he lifts to improve jerking vigour.
I'm afraid to watch this show again because I remember it being an awesome trippy mess, but I don't want tonrealize it's all nostalgia and the show actually sucks so I can't rewatch it
You ever start replying to disagree with a comment and then realize the things you've normalized in your romantic past are a bit fucked up? That's where I'm at right now
I've had sex plenty of times I didn't really want to in the past. It goes like
She's horny and wants to fuck. I am not
If I say no it's a self esteem meltdown
If I say yes it's a bit of a workout that ends in cuddling, which I always want
It's just always felt better for my life to be an on demand dick machine than somebody who can say no
I get it though. Like, I'm into dark chocolate myself, but beyond about 85% dark it gets to be a bit much for me. I've absolutely pretended to enjoy 99% before as to avoid embarrassing myself in front of friends who were kinda snobs about it though
You're thinking of the fourier series
Even among linux enjoyers redhat has stigma now. Iirc they went closed source a bit ago
To each their own, lol. I don't find country boring, I find it actively grating on my ears. Like, to the point that I will mute movies and put on subtitles if the soundtrack goes country. Having that as background noise sounds like my personal hell
Regularly. I probably don't post more than 10-15% of the comments I type out
You can actually save up to 13 frames if you take the warcrime L early, but getting through the Hague takes 5 different pixel/frame perfect inputs so most runners avoid that strategy
Wasn't "protecting Russian language and culture" one of Putlers first justifications for the invasion? Like, I think it's kinda fucked up to ban the language and culture, but then again my country has never been invaded by a neighboring war criminal who used "we're just protecting our language and culture in your land" so my opinion isn't nearly as valid as the opinion of people who are currently in that situation
