Drag queens rage at scary Marjorie Taylor Greene lobbying Congress and demand protection

On the surface it seems reasonable, but it tends to have misogynistic undertones, especially if said towards strangers.

It's like when the paparazzi publishes photos of celebrities with no makeup without their consent. If her makeup skills are good, she gets accused of "deceiving" people about her real age/looks. If her makeup skills are bad, she just gets called ugly.

Religion is the OG fandom war

Because historically the purpose of marriage was the secure economic and political alliances, and importantly produce heirs so that wealth stayed in the family. Even the idea of formally asking for the consent of the two people to be is only around 1000 years old.

Marriage first and foremost is a legal contract to bind your wealth together. The romance is just marketing.

The frogs only stayed in the water because Friedrich Goltz lobotomized the frogs beforehand. Which makes it a perfect metaphor because the Murdoch media has definitely lobotomized the public.

Because they broke lol. A night out is expensive, and can easily cost over $100.

Public transport to club: $5 Dinner/pre drinks: $30 Club entry: $25 Club drinks: $18 x 2 = $36 Uber home: $30

Sure you probably save money by going for cheaper drinks etc, but then you spend a lot of effort worried about costs for what is meant to be leisure time.

Tbh I didn't really understand paying for online events like twitch donations, but then realised that a night in with supermarket liquor + sub donations is much cheaper than going out.

Drag Queen Amanda Tori Meating has talked about her day job as a minimum wage Onlyfans writer. There's an entire industry involving talent agencies representing low wage gig workers that pretend to be the model you're paying $X per month to interact with.

Some Australian cities installed usb charging ports on their bus fleets. They were filled with chewing gum within a week

NEW - New East Wales

Team Humans Vs Team AI is a very fun option. Lots of civs have really fun team synergy.

Which makes it better than a bus because then I don't have to sit next to poor people /s

I have good news for you! The income distribution of OnlyFans creators like many other platforms follows a power law, where the top 1% earn 33% of all revenue, and the average creator only earns $150-180 each month. Don't think young women doing it tough are likely to be coerced by that.

Most of the high earners are those who already have an established audience, e.g. ex porn stars.

This isn't new. Recruiting firms such as HireVue have been pushing out "AI" interviewing platforms which automatically judge your body language, fashion choices, tone of language etc since at least 2018.

Companies are using AI to stop bias in hiring. They could also make discrimination worse. - https://www.vice.com/en/article/qvq9ep/companies-are-using-ai-to-stop-bias-in-hiring-they-could-also-make-discrimination-worse

Why bother filling it with land when you can just find some crusty old map with some dashes on it as evidence that it belongs to you

He has. Megan Coyne (gen Z) runs the official Whitehouse twitter, and was noted to be extremely sassy at calling out the hypocrisy of politicians who were against student loan forgiveness but personally benefitted from having their PPP loans forgiven.

White House Twitter thread on student debt forgiveness has NJ flair - https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/new-jersey/2022/08/26/white-house-nj-twitter-thread-megan-coyne-student-loan-debt-forgiveness/65458123007/

Civ 6 was made much more to be a digital board game. The combination of little to no multiplicative bonuses and generally small adjacency bonuses means you have to micro manage city planning all the time. It bombards the player with so many individual decisions that each make little impact.

Civ 5 felt much more like an empire simulator. The biggest bonuses come from making "big" decisions, like which policy tree, who/when to war, which ideology. As the game progressed, there was typically no need to micromanage.

The combat in civ 6 is atrocious after they removed the ability to build roads offensively for war until you unlock military engies (way too late in the game). Civ 5's road system took ages to get up and running, but the payoff was immense.

The civics tree system is better, but the policy card system is broken. It gives players too much flexibility, so everyone ends up running the same/similar set of cards every time. Tradition + Rationalism is a meme in Civ 5, but it did offer more esoteric strategies with different trees.

Wendy Carlos. One of the earliest trans icons who basically invented the genre of electronic music.

She maintains a personal website that's straight out of the early 2000s.

It's the WiFi forehead wrinkles

I prefer the term lobotomize

Can confirm, the extra dots on the o mean this is indeed Swedish

Its specific speed/accuracy tradeoff made it a very good fit for news which you need to know quickly, but had low stakes if it was incorrect. A great example of this transit delays/cancellations, where you probably don't care about the specific reason why a train is delayed and just want alternative options asap.

It was often much more effective to directly follow transit agencies and/or workers for info, rather than use their official website.

Fuji Q Highland in Japan has a lot of record breaking attractions and coasters and is more popular among adults. There are some areas catered towards children but these are fairly well sectioned off.

For 2. spend the time and do a "spot" test similar to laundry detergents. Some lubes can be very irritating and burn (usually the really cheap ones). It can be somewhat confusing because both the physical stretch and substance irritation feel like a burning sensation.

Nope, been happening way before that and ProZD already made a video documenting it about a month ago. You can improve the results somewhat by playing around with the "tags" at the top of the screen.

Bad Apple is supposed to be ~5:24 for the full version. It got famous for its PV (promotional video) which is only 3:49. This is the version which made it popular, and likely what you watched.

Subsequent fans have edited the PV by slowing it down in certain sections so to set it to the full version of the song.

Been a while since I experienced malware, but they typically forcibly change your browser's default search engine to a shady one with more malware, even after you try to change it to something else. Even for somewhat tech savvy users, this can be somewhat difficult to overcome.

Sounds like Microsoft is somehow overriding this with Bing.

Are these the anal option?
