The whole reason they didn’t want to train him in the first movie was that he’s too old.

Yea I pretty much threw away labels because it got to be a pain in the ass to try and say anything when I always end up going into that description “I’m just attracted to femininity”.

Best I can do is tree-fiddy

It’s not really “dirty” in the same sense but I’m a massage therapist. Don’t think it gets more literally hands-on as far as a job goes lol. I primarily do deep tissue work, I REALLY enjoy injury-focused work, so it can be a bit tiring but it’s generally pretty satisfying.

Which is? All I’m saying is you sound pretentious trying to pretend your piracy is anything other than a means for you to save money. Nothing wrong with doing that, just don’t pretend that at least some fraction does indeed get back to artists when you pay for a product because they do indeed get paid (who the fuck would support stolen art of course they’re fucking paying for it) for their hard work, often far less than they deserve. Honestly there’s a pretty good moral argument to be made for piracy that it’s more worthwhile to deny a corporation it’s profit while still enjoying the art, but it takes an acknowledgment that some degree of that revenue was going to feed back to the artist as some form of payment. The smaller that artists share is in the profits of their art, the more worthwhile the sacrifice of supporting them that way becomes.

Oh I forgot how many artists are working as slaves. Wait, they aren’t, they’re being paid, wonder where that money comes from?

Like fuckin hell dude, you can just admit you don’t want to pay for something, but to stretch “artists don’t earn a fair share” into “your support is meaningless” just because you’d rather not pay is a real bad take.

Thank you for the correction! I always seem to misremember which Caliphate was when.

Iirc it was the Abbasid Rashidun Caliphate that was the first Muslims to take over Egypt. The 1000 years prior or so, it’d been Roman territory (Byzantine after the fall of Western Rome, but same difference).

Edit: My memory was shakey and I appreciate the correction.

Arizona, figure the context being the US would at least make that an easy search but guess not.

Then sometimes you’re like me, living in AZ, not even on a VPN, being told “You Texans should be asking for ID” and just wondering how the fuck that’s happening

Leaves from the Vine is the most “try not to cry, cry a lot” moment in any show for me.

Maybe for not voting at all, but people voting for any left leaning party is a vote against the fascists in a parliamentary system.

Because it’s solely an “issue” that exists to stoke nationalistic thought in the populace. It’s propaganda

If it wasn’t eligible for the FIX (this is NOT an upgrade, you are entitled to them fixing this shit if it does effect you)maybe it wasn’t the right ignition system? My 2013 Elantra needed it and it seemed to be on the older end of cars who had the vulnerability.

Okay so as someone who’s getting fed up with Windows and Microsoft as a whole, I’m interested in Linux.

I just wanna game and watch videos. Video calls n such with friends. Nothing too spectacular.

Now can someone who doesn’t work on computers for a living, or even isn’t a hobbyist programmer. Someone like me, who couldn’t write a line of code on their own, answer me how difficult would it actually be?

My biggest fear is that I’m convinced by all the tech nerds here who can of course run this no problem and don’t see why a beginner would struggle, and then my anxiety shoots through the roof while I have a breakdown because I just wanted to get home from work and relax and suddenly my PC is a paperweight.

It’s a handful of addons (open source, available to be added via files) rather than the whole browser that are now available in Russia. Seems better to cut loss there and remain available as long as a workaround exists I’d think?

increase of distraction and time wasting inefficiencies.

Yea fuck having fun

We’ve already established that Tiktok Tok is not the CCP. That’s what the whole first “gonna ban TikTok” fiasco was over. It’s why they don’t store US data in China but continue to do business in the US.

That would be a business using the 1st amendment right (which everyone gets, not just citizens) to free speech to use it’s platform to ask it’s users to do something directly beneficial to them. Nothing illegal about it unless you want to reevaluate that “TikTok is the CCP” claim again.

Lemmy really seems to generally think that TikTok isn’t massively overall popular. Lemmy would have someone thinking it’s a niche app only being used by teenagers.

The iPod was throwing me until they blew me away by actually making it so I have to spin my finger on the pad. If I hadn’t been on mobile idk if I ever would’ve got past thinking “Did he fucking feature with someone? I don’t fucking listen to Sufjan Stevens…”
