My god the F1 crowd is awful. There is no debate on rules or issues, there is only “I’m right and your a fucking idiot for disagreeing”. I want to get more into GT3 as I’ve always preferred it in racing sims, but it’s kind of hard to follow comparatively.

That’s what the new laws are for, oppressing everyone else.

Just in case you check here.

Fuck Flock. Fuck Axon. Fuck every bit of this bullshit.

A lot of conservatives think that if something is done within the bounds of law, then it’s not a bad thing. If your leadership removes a law, then that illegal thing, is now magically legal. It doesn’t matter what that thing was, it’s removing “red tape”.

I get that physically hoarding actual paper currency is dumb. That is not how I read the original post though.

Currency ultimately funds retirement accounts.

Actually you do, for when you retire and no longer work, or have an emergency, or for any other reason. There’s a difference when a billionaire hordes, and a normal citizen. Currency still needs to hold value.

I seem to remember needing currency to buy goods and services needed to stay alive.

A lot of higher end headphones have replaceable ear cups that even come in different materials. I have seen several that have an option for actual leather cups. I personally prefer fabric vs. pleather or leather if there is an option.

Being able to recognize my anxiety triggers, and realizing that if I don’t address it immediately, I’ll just go into panic mode has helped me a lot. I am off daily anxiety meds now, but I still need the occasional Xanax when it breaks through.

I know long COVID has been described as typically a 1.5-2 year length, but I have permanently been affected. I’ve mentioned it in other posts before, but I have considered going to Portland to try a session of therapy through psychedelics since some testing shows that it tears down and renews neural pathways, almost like a reset switch.

I tell my wife that COVID rewired my brain. My memory is shot, I don’t enjoy things the way I used to and while I have eventually gotten my anxiety to a manageable level, it’s still way higher than precovid. I unfortunately suffered 4 COVID infections over a 2.5yr span, and yes, I was vaxxed. I think I got a little more scrambled than most.

Where’s that Mamdani and Miss Rachel crying gif

I read the title, and despite how shitty Meta is, I just thought the headline had to be sensationalized.

Nope.

"One video ad, the TTP researchers say, used a thumbnail image of a child sitting on the floor with text appearing on top of it saying: “Realizing Deep Fantasies with Generation AI [sic]. There is so much more than what is shown, use your imagination.” The researchers say that when the ad was clicked, it played video clips of adults involved in sexual acts and then added the child’s face from the thumbnail to a sex act.

Another ad the researchers say had been repeatedly posted showed an image of a young girl laying back with her legs spread in a sexual position with text above it saying: “I can show you more.”"

This is mine too!

Just wrapped up back to back reads of the full DCC run and just finished Parade of Horribles, stuck with the theme and started Kaiju Battle Surgeon.

70mm showings at least are coming back in September

What types of movies, tv shows or games do you like? Fantasy, horror, comedy etc… Once you settle on a genre to start with, hit up online best of book lists for that genre. Goodreads can be a start, or hit up your libraries for additional recommendations. Once you start diving in, find an author you click with and then you can get more recommendations from that.

I also love the bottom kitty looking like “see, it’s not always the orange ones”

Texas, hold my beer

Cats and dogs. All my pets over the years, I could decipher different wants and needs from sound or body language. They train us just as much as we train them.
