That’s not how household power outlets work.

How so? This one instantly trips a circuit breaker and then is quite safe. Now if the two hooks were separate, ir’d be a whole different matter…
- Comment on Anyone else? 6 days ago:
absolutely, but most colleagues in my line of work are too complacent and/or well-enough paid to even consider starting a worker’s council / representation.

Things come easy to me, but I don’t derive an entitlement to a higher salary from that vs. my colleagues who have to work harder to accomplish less. I do derive an entitlement to negotiate harder vs. my employer though, and sometimes leverage my usefulness to speak up about issues that other colleaguea are afraid to complain about.

Enter teenage me trying to draw proper exposed boobies on this image from Pools of Darkness. That’s about when I gave up on my aspirations for becoming an artist.

That’s good to hear :) is it your game? Because I see you asking for feedback on the proton topic…

Does it run on SteamOS/Linux?

you are a psychopath

Worse, arguably. In medieval times they wouldn’t (be able to) save them from the brink of death only to execute them when they have recovered.

No one talks about releasing her. Also, read about her backstory and tell me you are sure you wouldn’t snap after being exposed to that kind of abuse.

Ok I am clearly wasting my time arguing with someone who mistakes lack of empathy for apathy.
- Comment on Christa Pike at 18 years old when she was sentenced to death. She is now 50 and they are supposed to kill her this week 5 weeks ago:
The lack of empathy you show here is similar to the lack of empathy that Christa Pike showed to her victim. You are not so different - but do you have the same traumatic childhood to explain your sociopathy?
- Comment on Nothing to be embarrassed about. It's just a natural thing. It even happens to ghosts 5 weeks ago:
Many things aren’t funny. Making jokes about them can nevertheless be funny. Heck, humans joke about death all the time.

so you know how to eat olives out of that spoon :) in general, you want to use suction for tiny round foods from a spoon, because they’ll roll right off ^^

Tip the spoon? Have you never applied suction to ingest food?

I just started a rewatch tonight after having mentioned it here :) I loved the show and I think it’s time to give it another go. I am surprised how much of the permanent cast is introduced in episode one.

Luckily it seems they were punished for it in terms of ratings. I honestly felt abused after being exposed to that scene, without a warning to close my eyes or skip ahead.

The torture porn for Season 7 first episode. The show went from splatter / hack & slash to a breach of the psychological contract between film makers and the audience. Instead of cutting away for the ultra violence, they stayed fully on it, turning this franchise from a zombie splatter movie into sadistic torture porn, with the sadism directed at the unsuspecting viewers.
I was able to skip past one of those sections because it was telegraphed in the previous season’s ending, but the next one was intentionally designed to catch the audience unaware and was ultra explicit. I did not want to see this and I never consented to this kind of sadistic fucked up shit to be broadcast onto my screen.
Fuck the makers of that franchise, fuck AMC and fuck everyone involved in that decision for all eternity.

Yeah that thought occurred to me - but since the list is as dumb as it is to begin with, I didn’t bother looking for rules of eligibility.

List compiled by an utter moron. Entirely missing (among others) and vastly superior to most on the list:
- The Expanse
- After Life
- Sex Education
- Firefly
- IT Crowd
Also, despite being controversial, probably worth mentioning:
- South Park
- The Walking Dead
- Z-Nation (imo much better than TWD)

The important thing is that you make a conscious effort to improve. I am the same. I eat cheese and occasionally eggs - rarely even meat, but I try to overall consume very little animal products.

Poor roosters. I believe the best solution for that would be the “in ovo” gender detection. One article here: www.sciencedirect.com/…/S003257912300425X - in an ethical egg production scenario, the quoted machine learning could actually be viable: the false positive roosters are simply lucky, and get raised to adulthood / live a happy life ;) If the reason for false positives is not self-enforcing through genetics, they could even be the normal “fathers of the next generation”.
Assuming, of course, the false positive rate can be lowered enough.
Re: milk - I have to say, for drinking, if you find a good brand, oat milk can be very tasty - I personally even think it tastes better in coffee / cappuccino than regular milk. And cheese - I just happen to have bought this hour for the first time a delicious vegan “Brie” variant: vanozza.de/en/produkte.html#brie-pfeffer I am positively surprised, after the last couple of tries I no longer thought I would see the day - but this one is actually yummy!
For oat milk: tastewise best is Oatly Barista, but Oatly is in bed with investors from fascistan, so I go for the second best option which is also delicious: Lidl house brand vemondo, barista drink. Important: it must be the one produced by Grønvang (gronvang.dk/?lang=en) - the one by Green & White from Vlissingen/NL tastes bland / watery in comparison.

But if you would keep the cows well, milk products could be made quite ethically…
Could be - but that would also mean taking milk away from the calves for a while. Not sure how much milk a cow would be able to continue to give and what the quality would be after the calf has had enough to outgrow infancy.
Now eggs however, those could be absolutely produced without animal suffering. Just be willing to pay more for the eggs so that hens can live free range in natural environments, and still get to continue living when they produce less or even no more eggs until they die from natural causes.
I don’t see a big ethical problem with snatching an unfertilised egg, considering that hens are able to lay like one egg a day. They won’t miss it if you take away a bunch of them and let them breed out the odd one.
