Yeah, the 3d is what makes it amazing for me. I have a 15 level factory going, and it’s so much fun to shoot stuff up and down levels.

And a very large amount of nimbyism and zoning for residential areas. Capitalism has so many ways to attack the common man’s wallet.

Just remember that newsom is the epitome of the neoliberal. He is perfectly willing to throw any supposed principles under the bus to gather support and votes. Just look up his publicly made remarks on gender dysphoric folks, his vetoes, and his bootlicking of billionaires.

Poor brazil. They have gone up against germany since then, and definitely cleared away the poor results from that one match.

I have a friend who is an engineering professor, and he constantly moans about the worst part of teaching being the reports that his students write… and that was before this LLM craze took off. I should ask him about how it’s going now.

Because selling sex is much more about the teasing than the actual presentation. I’m convinced that the reason we don’t have nude models selling you stuff on billboards is that the lingerie/just-before-the-bedroom clothes are more effective, so advertising companies don’t care to get case law or actual legislation allowing nude advertisements.

Are they the ‘touch the handle, gentle arc across’ kind, or the ‘sensor begins smooth laminar flow stream into bottle’ kind? Because the first should be banned, ugh (I mean, not really, I still use the ones at the park), and the second is amazing.

They’ve already ‘successfully’ got one judge with ice. Do you really think he wouldn’t, one, ignore anything a judge says with full support of all his minions, and, two, not simply get rid of the judge by that point? He’s had one year for his lickspittles behind the scenes to set the stage, and now we are seeing constant escalation by ice.

The military complied with orders to commit war crimes, from top brass to the lowest grunt. We. Are. Fucked. They would absolutely shut down elections, especially if it’s claimed that they are ‘protecting from fraud.’ Talking about who to elect is good, we shouldn’t stop, but we also need to be seriously considering what to do at each other point as we descend fully into our hell made of fascism, and not bury our heads in the sand about elections being the only (or most likely) win.

It’s silk, because apparently it’s the least likely material to rip out fine hair when sleeping. As for the pillow being trash, it’s what I like. I can fold it, double it, squash it, twist it into a bowtie inside of the pillowcase, and it works great and I don’t have to feel like I’m messing it up.

I wouldn’t be pulling out the fucking receipt… that’s something that only epstein had.

eeesh. I have a $70 pillowcase, but the pillow itself is still just trash.

It’s the difference between the philosophy of conservatism and its practitioners. I can kinda sympathize, seeing as every mention of socialism somehow becomes a riot against the ussr.

Oh god, the high protein fad is even making its way into hair care! Ruuuun!

Oh, lol, I remember the shampoo with menthol I had. I loved how it actually brought feeling back to my life.

People.

Yes, that one, thank you.

Minnesota will still treat us as a state crime

Will they? Maybe I’m already misremembering events (I’m not), but it seems like the state authorities are giving up on any investigation. Quote:

"The BCA said as of Friday afternoon it is not conducting an independent use-of-force investigation into the shooting, but is working with Moriarty’s office to catalogue and preserve evidence. BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said the office would provide the community’s evidence to the FBI, as it is leading the investigation.

“The BCA remains open to conducting a full investigation of the incident should the U.S. Attorney’s Office and FBI reconsider their approach and express a willingness to resume a joint investigation or to share all evidence and evidentiary reports held by FBI investigators,” Evans said."

If you’re going to tell people to look into the lens of romantic*/companionate (and all the other ones you didn’t mention: nonlove/liking/infatuation/empty love/fatuous love/consummate love) you should at least give them some starting points.

• Triangle theory of love: Robert Sternberg (1987, 2006)
• Brain regions; attachment/commitment vs sexual desire: Diamond (2004), Aron et al. (2005), Xu e al. (2011)
• Lust/attraction/attachment, dopamine/serotonin influences: Helen Fisher (2006), Aron et al. (2008),
• More influence of dopamine/serotonin: Ackerman (1994, p. 165)
• Critiques of simplifying love: Fehr (2006)
• Some more neurotransmitters and hormones: Macdonald & Macdonald (2010), Hill et al. (2009), Gouin et al. (2010), Ditzen et al. (2009), Theodoridou et al. (2009)
• Loves sternberg didn’t consider: Berscheid (2010), John alan lee (1988),
• Decreases in romantic love: sprecher & regan (1998), Tucker & aron (1993), Gupta & Singh (1982) and the followup D. Myers (1993), Walster & Walster (1978), Abhmetoglu et al (2010), Call et al. (1995), Klussman (2002)
• Non-decreases in love: Acevedo et al. (2011),

Personally, I would really, really recommend the textbook Intimate Relationships by Rowland S. Miller to anyone who is curious about the subject. I had to go pull my edition off of the bookshelf to quickly throw out all the references above.

*because passionate love isn’t the category. The proposed idea was the triangle theory of intimacy, passion, and commitment, which led to the eight above categories----

I thought the bulge was reality, but it working in any way was fictitious? Or am I misremembering how he fucked up his dick?

“I don’t know! I don’t understand any of this stuff!”

THIS! This is the most frustrating fucking part of it all!

Both of my parents are smart. They have college degrees, were successful within their fields, and can generally pick up on new concepts and ideas really, really quickly. But somehow they just turn off their brains and refuse to engage with whatever is in front of them with a computer. They set up their smart watches quickly, they have no problems with apps and by god, my dad can troubleshoot anything from a boat engine to electrical wiring to freaking concrete work… but if something on the computer isn’t working it doesn’t matter how you try to explain it, how many times you tell them to just simply fucking. read. what’s. on. the. screen. they won’t do it. They want someone else to do it all and they won’t watch.

Of course you don’t fucking understand, you old geezer! You refuse to even make the attempt!
