You could try pawning your husband off on my ex-wife. She has all of the same “restrictions”, but also bell peppers and garlic. Oh and no fish of any sort, except for herring, which she’ll eat tons of whenever pregnant (which I think would be most of the time if she could)

I think this is unseasoned boiled chicken breast
- Comment on Console market craters as Xbox sales crash 33% to the lowest since launch 25 years ago, PS5 sales drop 25% 1 day ago:
About as comparable as the AYN Thor (Android phone with weird form factor) is to Steam Deck (PC with weird form factor).
- Comment on Wealth inequality will destroy America. 1 day ago:
Top 1% … holds 32,5% of the wealth
And people over 55 own 73% (most of the top 1% that isn’t tech billionaires, are also old people after all). Start taxing corporations more and they won’t be able to retire the way they have, so they’re naturally against that. Good luck figuring it out without magically increasing birth rates to have more workers per retiree, or having your old people live in squalor so young people can have better lives (potentially driving up birth rates if they feel they can afford children)

I literally let deepseek + opencode modify the nanogpt code for my own custom model and suggest training datasets lol
Ran out of patience after a while because crappy GPU, but it was training and words were being worded when I prompted it after the first day of training

If it’s a regular phone number, of course your regular call rate would apply though? Only special numbers get exemptions usually
- Comment on A one-time 5% wealth tax would bring Silicon Valley’s billionaires’ wealth back to where it was just 31 days ago 4 days ago:
That wasn’t a wealth tax though? That was an income tax and only on the top bracket. Very, very different things.
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 4 days ago:
Good idea, but then let’s get rid of the concept of retirement too.
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 4 days ago:
That it isn’t is because wages didn’t increase proportionately
Yes, because your wages go to said retirees. Who do you think owns all the companies not increasing your wages?
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 4 days ago:
The rich in this case == old people. People over 55 own 73% of the US. Billionaires don’t come close to the wealth of boomers. In countries with national pensions they just do it via taxation, in the US it’s via retirement funds invested in the companies abusing workers.
People don’t seem to get that everything has a cost in human labor to it and if you want people to continue enjoying the benefits of what is actually a pretty good economy all things considered, there need to be enough workers. If there are not enough workers, you can’t have retirement anymore. In fact, a few decades from now we’ll have to get rid of retirement as a concept unless we want actual slavery.
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 4 days ago:
Oh no, not just stagnant GDP. Stagnant/decreasing GDP per capita. The absolute GDP is down even more.
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 4 days ago:
Literally the opposite of what’s being talked about? The issue is people aren’t having enough kids and our economic system is predicated on there being enough people working to support those who don’t work (kids, retirees, disabled people). Over the coming decades, we won’t have enough people for all the people who need to be supported.
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 4 days ago:
Raising wages fucks the people trying to retire because their stock holdings lose value. It’ll have to be slavery you want to continue having retirement as a thing. Ideally colonialism + slavery, just import slaves from countries still experiencing population growth, such as many African ones…
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 4 days ago:
Okay, but retirement is based off there being more people working than not, so in countries with national pensions we’ll have to significantly raise taxes, and in countries without such a system, retirees who are invested into index funds, need publicly traded corporations to start underpaying their employees even more (it’s really eye-opening when you realize people over 55 own 73% of all the resources of the US, from money to stocks to real estate).
- Comment on As it lays off developers and closes studios, Xbox gets into the movie business 4 days ago:
Xbox now owns the following franchises, among many others: Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Warcraft, Diablo, Call of Duty, The Outer Worlds, Wolfenstein, Doom… Those are just most of the important ones from recent acquisitions. Some already have movies or TV shows, but they can always make new ones for those too.
- Comment on What is the collective noun for General Lees? 4 days ago:
The car has a confederate flag on the roof and it’s named after a confederate general. Whether or not the characters of the show were racist or not (I can’t tell, I’ve never seen the show), this is absolutely a good joke to make about the car.

Looks like a cross between aussie and NA ones to me, I can’t find one that look exactly like this for any country. Otherwise it could even make sense since powerline ethernet adapters are a thing.
Not sure if some weird smartphone AI magic might’ve straightened up an aussie outlet? Either way, it’s… weird. Not even sure why this photo needed to be genAI, routers like this aren’t all that uncommon

But even so we’re probably the safest country in the world to get bitten by a spider
Why? Do you have antidotes for all common venomous spiders readily available, or are there just not that many of them in reality?
- Comment on The ineffective Democratic leadership ain't going away unless we make them. 1 week ago:
Mostly we heckle the people saying you shouldn’t vote, or should vote 3rd party, when the ubernazis are closer than ever to total domination. I think most people are of the opinion that, between actual elections, everything possible should be done to get better nominations and replace the old guard democrats.

What rape culture in this case? If I saw my gf (not that I have one right now) sleeping with her legs open and a titty out, I’d find it hot and endearing (in a she’s comfortable enough with me to sleep like that kinda way), and perhaps I’d go back to bed to cuddle with her till she wakes up on her own and see if said cuddling leads to morning sexytime. And I’d be extra horny from the wait so it would be even better (or I might have to go jack off in the toilet if it doesn’t happen). Has happened a couple of times, mostly when waking up to go to pee or something, not when I needed to go to work obviously.
I don’t think any man who’s not already way too OK with rape would just straight up go to town on a woman in her sleep without it being agreed upon before. Fantasizing about her and actually doing something about it while she’s sleeping are very different things.
Of the women I’ve been with, one explicitly said she’s okay with being woken up with sex (I didn’t ask her about it or anything, she just saw me all horny in the morning so I somewhat jokingly said “oh I was tempted to take you while you were sleeping” or something and she got upset that I hadn’t), and one said she’s into it, but our relationship was pretty fresh and she didn’t explicitly say she wants me to do it, so I didn’t take it as consent as much as just her talking about what she liked or had fantasized about.
With the former I actually did it a couple of times, but soon realized that while her waking up suddenly to an orgasm was fun for both of us, the journey there is much more enjoyable if both parties are awake for it. With the latter, our relationship didn’t last long enough (unrelated reasons) for me to even consider bringing it up for real.

I think most of us have 12, but between 120 and 1200 I’d choose the latter because it would be more fun

Kinda, but usually you’re sorta expected to put in your best effort for every billed hour regardless.
Instead of laying things out like this, what you can do is bill more hours (within reason) per hour worked to customers who pay less per hour. Gotta be careful with that though.
