It depends on what the deer eat. Around here it’s pretty good but just just two counties north it tastes awful.

Same, and there’s something satisfying to see the files are all less than 10GB. I don’t think I own any games on pc that don’t at least ask for 50GB.
I beat portal 2 for the first time last week and when that song rolled at the end I felt again what it was to truely finish a good game. I’d forgotten that feeling entirely and even teared up.

There’s a good deal of misconceptions in this stance. Top of the list is that women being more than the property of their man is a remarkably young stance in the west, barely 100 years old. Prior to that, and for the majority of history, women were property to be traded and this was based on biblical scripture.
Now, ignoring the hidden undertone for now, only 16 states outright ban child marriage in the US. That’s across political lines, Massachusetts only moved the age from 12 to 18 in 2022. Historically, marriage and prostitution at ages as young as 9 have been present during the westward expansion and earlier. Most of our founding fathers slept with what we would call underage slaves. This isn’t an American thing, it was just as common in Europe. The French sex trade even inspired the book Lolita.
Now let’s look at the undertones. CPS investigate around 300,000 reports of child sex abuse annually. The FBI report that 67% of investigated sex crimes involve minors. They also estimate that only 37% of sex crimes in total are reported. If the total reported sex crimes is around 98,000 annually, then it’s estimated that actually 265,000 happen annually. Which means 177,500 children get sexually abused annually. If that’s a consistent pattern through history, that means 1 in 13 Americans was or is currently a sexually abused child.
The response to the Epstein situation shows that culturally we allow pedophilia if punishing it would inconvenience us in any way. Other side by RHCP is about fucking a 14 year old. Steven Tyler knocked up a 16 year old and even became her legal guardian so he could take her on tours. Bill Wyman of the rolling stones started dating his wife when she was 13. Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Ted Nugent, Elvis. The list goes on for actors, young Natalie Portman literally appeared in Playboy. Politicians are the same. So long as you’re not poor no one willingly does anything to stop you from raping children.
I’m not trying to say we’re worse than any other group, I’m saying the only difference is that we aren’t open about it.

Personally it’s been incredibly refreshing to go back and play all the games I couldn’t afford as a teen. There’s something comfortable about an era of self contained games meant for fun instead of profit.

No seriously, if you pull off enough masks all of societies problems are just money and xenophobia in varying degrees.
I just spent 7 weeks researching organ shortages in the US for a class. Turns out live donations go up dramatically if you reimburse people for the money they lose while doing the procedures and families are more willing to donate the organs of the dead if they are told they’re going to a similar demographic as them.
Homelessness? “Those people” don’t deserve human rights and they don’t have the money for housing. Xenophobia and money.
Opioid crisis? The pharma companies knew there were addictive and factored that into their push to get doctors to prescribe them like candy. This has been proven by internal documentation released in court. Money.
White supremacy? Don’t even have to explain it. Xenophobia.
Rise of Facism? Xenophobia exploited for money.
Pay gaps between men and women? Xenophobia because women aren’t taken seriously and money because it benefits the company to pay someone less.
Stagnant wages? Xenophobia because rich people don’t think poors deserve money and money because they get more if we get less.
Racism in America? Xenophobia and money. Most racists are just raised to hate by previous generations. If you go back far enough for those you find that the hate came from considering the other as property and by turning them into people you hurt the owner’s money. The seed was money and the fruit is xenophobia.
Christian nationalism? It looks like xenophobia but Surpise! It’s money. Religious capitalism is the idea that God rewards those w who are holy and what better reward than wealth? So if you’re poor, it’s because god doesn’t like you which means you’re evil.
It is literally money and hate all the way down.

My dude, we are primates that adapted to walking upright. We are a creature that once filled a niche in a food chain, that scrounged for berries and slept in caves or trees. We have turned shiny rocks into strands of hair, wrapped them around silly shapes and spun them with water boiled by the heat of stars captured in pellets made to exploit the decay of the very smallest form of existence. All to provide the caged lightening that powers the rocks we taught think so that you and I can share anxiety about our potential end.
We see the world with eyes that are trained to spot faces in the dark with a brain that lives in fear of tigers. Nature has built us to see the horrors around us at all times because it helped us survive. Now we live in a world where where our nature is exploited for fabric that represents shiny rocks that represent berries we could have eaten or something dumb like that. Don’t let it get you down.

The original Xbox was my absolute favorite. Still old enough to have the classic memory cards and weird console ports, but new enough that its all actually just reskinned pc hardware. The UI was simple but easy and had this fantastic early 2k style. I didn’t even care that it was disgustingly green.
On top of all that, it was an era where basically everything could get greenlit. Shrek sequel game? Do it. Bounty hunter in a batshit crazy world using bigs as bullets? Knock yourself out. Love letter to golden eye, even if we can’t get the rights? You bet! What if I wanna watch softcore porn with the bros but justify it by saying we’re gaming? That’s fucking weird, but have at it. Literally anything could get a game.

Jokes aside, I watched a documentary yesterday about a study where they used sensors and electrodes on the motor cortex of a subject. They found it took 55microseconds between when he thought about moving his finger and when of actually moved.
They then interrupted his attempt to move his finger by using the electrode to move the finger instead. They then did series where he was told to move his finger and the computer either would or wouldn’t randomly stimulate the movement first and he had to report whether he felt like it wad him or the computer doing it.
Subjects disproportionately attributed the motion to the computer even in events where the computer didn’t cause any movement. Suggesting that the subjects had a dramatic reduction in feelings of agency when even the suggestion of outside control was present.

If I’m reading this right, they degove the penis and extract it through the mid seam of the scrotum. From there, they extract the entire erectile structure and shorten the urethra to the front end of the perineum before ultimately reducing and connecting the scrotal tissue to create a smooth continuous surface.
So I have a number of questions.
Firstly, why the degloving? The outer penile tissue doesn’t appear to be used in this diagram, while I can understand doing it to provide enough tissue to work with for covering the area the penis was located at, it feels unnecessary to extract the entire shaft through the scrotum before removal.
Secondly, where are the testicles? I was under the impression that fully removing them causes massive health issues because they do actually produce a number of important hormones. I suppose with the interior penile shaft removed there would be enough space to house them internally and the lack of thermal regulation wouldn’t really matter as it’s only really there for the visibility of the sperm, but the diagram does not provide that info.
Lastly, I have grievances about the placement of the urinary tract. Anyone who’s changed a diaper knows that UTIs are stupidly common even in males if you wipe in the wrong direction. They’re a life long worry for females simply due to anatomical design. While this wouldn’t provide the the enclosed space or extra tissue that the labias do, it would put the urethra far closer to the anus than either existing design and in an area universally known for excess sweating, friction, poor air circulation, and retained moisture. This feels like a recipe for constant and fast spreading UTIs.
Say nothing about the changes in hygiene behaviour you’d have to make moving from washing a penis to washing this, or the sensory changes that would come from having your anatomy rearranged like this. A UTI with this is going to feel entirely different than with a penis and that’s assuming the nerves needeed weren’t damaged or relocated in the surgery. You may end up with a full bladder infection before it even presents.

That’s the thing, I already accepted that crimes are legal of you pay for them, that’s something I learned in elementary school, but when you start opening up about sexual abuse, you find that more people have experience than not. It’s not just the famous or powerful, it’s older cousins, uncles, aunts, babysitters, friends or their families, grand parents, teachers, strangers at the park, neighbors, and every other possible connection.
There’s 27 people I can think of that have candidly told me about the abuse they experienced and only one of them lead to legal reprocussions. We’re taught to keep it secret either because we don’t truely understand it until it’s far later or when we bring it up we’re told that it didn’t happen. When we hear about those arrested for it, they were often victims in their own time.
CPS investigates about 300,000 child sexual assault cases annually and experts suggest that as few as 10% actually get reported to begin with. If those numbers are accurate then around 37% of children in the us will be molested in their lifetime. 1 in 13 Americans is a molested child.
In comparison, Jews are 1 in 42, muslims are 1 in 91, Pacific islanders are 1 in 333, transgender adults are 1 in 167. In a general dispersal, for every 11 Mexicans you’ve met, you’ve likely met 8 children that have been sexually assaulted. It’s not money that lets you molest children, it’s the culture. It’s fine as long as no one else has to know about it. So the crime isn’t the act, it’s being bad at doing it.

Pedophilia is ok in the united states and we all just collectively agreed to pretend it isn’t. It’s clearly not a crime or we’d make more of a deal out of prosecution. It’s certainly not a deal breaker when your favorite politician or famous person does it. I used to think it was a coincidence that everyone I know was molested as a child, that maybe we gravitate to each other as an unspoken solidarity. The Epstein situation has made that hard to believe.

Spouse was at a dentist visit and her blood pressure was so high they threatened to call an ambulance. Has been that high off and on for weeks.
Take her to the doctor, doc knows she’s had a full hysterectomy, knows she doesn’t exaggerate, knows she refuses to take anything medincinal unless forced. This lady raw dogs migraines to avoid Ibuprofen.
First words out if doc’s mouth, “BP that high isn’t unheard of in women having their periods. Are you sure it’s not your time of the month?” Followed by, “well I’m sure you’re just nervous around doctors, it will go down when you get home.”
