This thread is about influencers leaving Iran. It’s not a stretch that someone is going to talk about influencers leaving Iran in it, and their thoughts on influencers in general… war has an almost infinite number of facets and angles, to discuss one isn’t “making it about” that.

I know folks, my boss and his family, who - if it doesn’t come from a box, powder, and/or plastic bag, will not be eating it. It’s really sad and I eat whole food in front of him all the time in hopes…

Degenerative disc disorderbad mouse - Comment on What brings you peace in your life? 1 week ago:
Getting fully sober including quitting weed as an escape mechanism brought me a huge amount of peace, plus $500/mo back in money. I’m still struggling in many ways, took a huge pay cut to get into my current job (protected from AI for many years) but I have a savings account and a retirement account for the first time ever. Paying down debt, slowly. I get dopamine hits from interacting with people, fixing problems in my life. Instead of from a glass bowl and lighter, a bottle, etc.

They are nothing like they used to be. The old ones could physically damage your mouth, a layer of skin would peel off from acid burns if you went at them for a while. Probably inappropriately acidic. In the intervening years, litigation has become more routine, I don’t think they want to get sued for Little Jimmy’s pain and suffering - let alone a choking case.
I got a few of these that were actually sweet through and through, no sour at all, was so disappointed. Anything with the Warheads brand is like this now.

The hallucinogens and dissociatives are the real threat here. I can’t help people who are that fucked up over 2 gummies. Maybe you need to do 2 more often.
- Comment on Also, in my state, all the drivers are the worst 1 week ago:
Arkansas doesn’t require driver’s ed so I think we do have the market cornered on bad drivers. I see folks slam on their brakes on the interstate, reverse back to their exit, the interstates themselves were obviously designed by folks who don’t understand how it works, etc. I’ve lived in several states and never seen anything quite like it.

Some guys will do this, some won’t. The ones who find it “gross” are the worst. The guys who don’t ask any questions are the best.
- Comment on The meaning of life? 1 week ago:
It’s actually possible to get meaning from what you do as well. May not pay the best in the world, but it’s out there. I was in non-profit administration for many years, and I work for a law school now that helps poor folks, many BIPOC, get degrees so they can better themselves and their communities. Social justice people. I’ve also worked for a private conservative-owned company that only enriched some fuckwads, and I’ll not be doing that again.
Also I run a nonprofit that I founded on the side, and we’re hoping to hire our first staff person this year, I get a lot of meaning from that.
Basically if you work to change the world for the better instead of just slumping through your day, you feel good about your life, even though it’s hard work.
- Comment on Epstein arrests: 0. Nancy Guthrie: still missing. The head of the FBI: 1 week ago:
Everyone with experience in these cases agrees the woman is dead, it was a home invasion gone wrong. I think the authorities know this. I assume the ransom and ensuing press coverage is just a huge distraction from other things going on, because it makes LE look good. They certainly don’t give a shit when a brown person goes missing, but a famous white lady’s mom, yeah that’s gripping news POTUS needs to be involved with

- Comment on Misunderstanding? 3 weeks ago:
We inherited a dual-basket air fryer, a nice Ninja model, and had it for a week before realizing it was worthless compared to the convection oven we already had. Spacing things out enough in the compartments meant there wasn’t enough food for even two people (unless you put the same food in both baskets), it took longer to use than the oven, it absolutely stunk up the house, and then it had to be cleaned. Weird product and we got rid of it.

That’s because the helicopter crashes you’ve seen were the ones where something catastrophic happened, like a midair collision or a pilot error. That’s what makes the news, not the safe landings where engine failure has occurred.

As a web designer (well, customizer/reseller for small businesses) I definitely thought I was done for when I heard AI could spit out a functional website in one prompt. Then I saw some examples and realized it’s just going to be another thing clients bring me, begging for a fix. No problemo, small upcharge.

Same reason they only come out when surrounded by bulletproof glass or in sniper-controlled areas now. They don’t want to be individually targeted.
Now it’s interesting to imagine what would happen if hundreds of officials were individually targeted, but having a bunch of guns at your house ≠ that. Still the issue of targeted suppression exists, and would be highly effective.
If you burn down a neighborhood, if you shoot an RPG or a drone at a house, none of the guns inside matter, except they make it more lethal as you try to escape. They also make your house more unsafe for kids and yourself (statistically).
Arming yourself up defensively just doesn’t do much. If they want you dead, they’re gonna do it in a zero-casualty-for-them way. They can do that en masse, they can do that in rural or urban areas. They train for that 24/7. They love that.
Arming yourself offensively, well that’s something else. I don’t know if that’s what’s being suggested when this issue comes up though.

Are you sure you don’t have “print as image” enabled there? It should keep it as a layered PDF, not rasterizing.
