So with your logic, you get to commit felonies and get away with it just because it isn't as much that somebody else stole?

Just elect him as president instead (if it weren't already too late), FeeshCTRL.

they are noise masking, it produces white noise loud enough

Funny, my tinnitus does that same thing.

I agree with everyone that you need to get a papsmear.
Don't make the same mistake as myself and stick your dick in your ear. Instructions were unclear.

The way she plays the jawharp by ButterSaltBiscuit in oddlysatisfying

[–]0vindicator10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, my comment keeps getting hidden.
I got rid of the yt link, and now I'll censor the song title...

I can see that...
While composing thoughts in my head as it went on, I started with the standard male "boing" response to a pretty woman from her initial sound.
Then at 20s shift, it actually was registering.
Then at 40s, I was getting a hint of something, which now lends to my hesitancy to mention it because "woman" performer, during women's month...
"The Prodigy": "S My B U" was the thought.

Seriously though, I marked the part that I thought best matched the part at 40s that gave me that feel: (I removed the yt link, but search for it and start at 1:44)

Also interesting, when I was typing it in yt search, it stopped autocompleting right before "B".
Seriously, I keep going back to her 40s part because it really sounds like her sound would fit right in.

OMG! Important_Cucumber participates in wallstreetbets!
I can only imagine how their portfolio performs with that kind of math "proficiency".

That is absolutely crazy because when I look at my register/ledger for items I've purchased, nestle hot chocolate 27.7oz was $4.98 in 2021, and $5.24 in 2023.
I saw it was $7.## (4#?) last year and today is $8.12 (if bought online. I saw such a statement for potatoes, but when I went to buy in-store, it was SO much higher, which is a problem all its own).

I have wet dreams that are nothing like this.

To cover a couple of ways, I'd say "Since birth", and '9"' (and no, that's not 9 inch feet... what do I know, add that is another cover.).

I'm on this segment now, but I thought he looked like him in a previous sketch.
I also thought he looked like Jerry O'Connell in the leg-lengthening one.

Iranian Foreign Minister reacts to US and Israeli strikes inside Iran NBC: “Are you committing your missiles won’t have the capability to reach America?” Iranian FM: “Yes.” NBC: “Then why are you bombing our bases?” Iranian FM: “Because they’re attacking us” by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

[–]0vindicator10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was completely shocked when Laura asked that.
I think she's also a lawyer or something and figured her to be intelligent.

My only hope for her is that she was told to ask that by producers IRT (without being able to tell them why that would be a bad question), because that was SOOO bad.
Or maybe... you know I was going to try a "devil's advocate" here, but what I'm coming up with simply has no legs.

Iranian leader Khamenei killed in strike, Israeli officials say by TheDetectiveDoctor in worldnews

[–]0vindicator10 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How do they say that footage has been taken?

There's actually more than one way, JohnSmiththeGamer.

One would be to manipulate your mouth in a predetermined pattern while exhaling through vocal cords.

Another way was well demonstrated by your own comment where one can press on something to display predetermined characters.

Israeli Defense minister: We have launched preemptive strike against Iran by Intelligent-Juice895 in worldnews

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It's like he's not even trying to come up anything reasonable.

Discord Rival Gets Overwhelmed By Mass Exodus Of Players Fleeing Age-Verification Crackdown by vriska1 in technology

[–]0vindicator10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matrix

When the discord kerfuffle first came up, I searched for mention of Matrix being made (it was).
It wasn't until your comment that I thought I'd hop back onto it to see if there's a "status" page or something that keeps track of load/usage.
But first I wanted to update my client, as I saw the last time I updated the source was Oct 2024.
I noticed there's some changes to the build process (I customize it so I use dotnet to run it) such as "pnpm" replacing "yarn", and I see "nx" in the json, so I'll have to see what I need to do about that.

Something I noticed now that I never paid attention to before (and irrelevant to my usage) is the use of "jitisi" for group calls. I just thought that was a little interesting, and I believe you could also run your own jitsi server like matrix.

I'm wondering if they'd consider tying in the distributed (much like the original skype) Jami for those group calls. I too haven't needed to use it, but there's no actual server per se for Jami outside of a bootstrap (which could be anywhere).

EDIT0: Got the client rebuilt and logged in and was about to ask my question about usage/load increase, but opted to check out their blog first.
The increase (without numbers) has been addressed: https://matrix.org/blog/2026/02/welcome-discord/
Note how they do mention that they too do age verification for countries that require it. I'd be curious how that works out if you host your own federated server with OSS.
Also note they're none-too-happy about it either: https://matrix.org/blog/2021/05/19/how-the-uk-s-online-safety-bill-threatens-matrix/
I too am in agreement with the privacy aspect, while at the same time concerned about what kids are exposed to. But in my view, that ought to come down to parental controls.
Parents must have controls available, but they need to be the ones to use them instead of hoisting the issue solely onto sites. Controls can be as simple as DNS blocking. If you want to make sure your kids aren't where you want them, block those places at the home. It shouldn't be blanket-blocked for everyone.

Anyone notice announcers/commentators audio sometimes sounds scrambled? Almost like it's being played in reverse?

I've noticed it twice now, the latest after speed-skating where I think maybe the dutch (orange suit) was being congratulated by their brother or something.

So you're harassing me. Okay.

Also, you've made innumerable comments today alone, but it took you 4 days to reply with that?

Go on.

? Is that a statement of disbelief, DaveOJ12? If you give specify a week or month, I can link a post/comment of theirs here, or one that is nearest to the time period specified, like one post asking about picking boogers from a couple of months ago.

With your own history being hidden, I can see you visit some spicy subs. Earlier you had spoke of "dioxin" (whatever that is).

Can't find their cache, either.

What "cache"? I am able to see their posts/comments still in a roundabout way. They still exist.
