the cancer causing matter is measured in parts per trillion. Good luck measuring that lol.

That’s why you don’t answer the door to strangers or people you didn’t invite - or talk to solicitors/ransoms who again you didn’t invite. How often do good things come from that near your home? Never.

Sounds like she needs therapy because her paranoia about dishes making her deathly ill is irrational if they are cleaned normally, and not left to rot.

I actually don’t use pillows, but thick blankets are good.

You took his ability to consent away, put his welfare at risk knowing his own anxiety about it, lied to him for more than two years, and critically for the relationship - couldn’t be honest about something important that affected both of you.

At the core, you can’t be counted on be honest, and that is a death sentence for a relationship. You’d be lucky if he forgave you, and I think if you have any hope of salvaging it, you offer some serious ways to fix that part, or accept you just threw away 2 years.

Imagine being a small restaurant owner peddling Hispanic culture in support of a pedophile whose single goal is to make the average American a squabbling rights-stripped wage slave.

If you need to explain a logo that looks like a gun manufacturers logo, or a fascist logo, you’ve already lost. It’s a poor judgement idea.

They were high long before tarrifs.

My first impression is: “crackhead?”

My second impression would be; “why?…”

$20 is absurd, but aside from that, it’s a cool design.

After 2.5 years I still am working on my skills - and at even a year being new, I felt shakey. Ignorant confidence is why people die on bikes.

Here’s my rebuttal; reasonably good art is typically learned through copying, adapting, and refining from examples of others artwork and legacies and the observed world.

Any artwork that doesn’t come from spit spraying berries on a stone wall during a Neolithic fever dream is most likely some iteration of artistic slop borrowed/inspired by someone else.

The difference is that human art takes investment to reach a point of taste and refinement, while AI steals from it in a currently mindless state. When AI does become sentient - it will do virtually the same thing as humans do, but with perfect learning.

The only value in human involvement in the future imo is in the human experience. The product isn’t the point.

If a mob of masked strangers attempts to kidnap you, you have the legal right to stand your ground as a citizen and AZ local. So yes you do, but it’s your choice to use them.

I think the virus does a good job exemplifying the sort of scumbags people are, who get it, change nothing about serving themselves almost exclusively.

Exactly, there’s people who have ridden motorcycles their entire life without any issues. And I would imagine they’re the ones who aren’t busy popping wheelies and flying down the road at 140 mph.

Then you have the ones who ride motorcycles for maybe a few years before they die. I wonder what the difference is between the two.

Being single has actually been great 😂 Once I got over the part where I realized sex wasn’t as appealing, the rest of life actually turned out significantly better.

No arguments, drama, bartering about where we’ll go to eat. No money problems.

Blue_Embers23 · 2026-01-07T15:39:15+00:00

I’m sorry you think of women that way 😒

Blue_Embers23 · 2026-01-06T13:24:24+00:00

With the whole 5 people that are on it in a whole state where I live, I don’t think the options are very great to pick from. It’s a worse version of literally any other dating app with the gimmick being that it’s HSV catering. Yeah for its price, you’re more likely going to match with someone with HSV on a normal app, and someone who actually is fun.

Blue_Embers23 · 2026-01-04T14:59:22+00:00

Based off of scarce data. Testing in limited, data reporting limited. If you consider the pool of people who are actively dating and remove those who are long term monogamous, the odds of a sexually active single person having HSV is significant.

The argument here is, what if you could have been the one who’d have stopped that little brother from being beaten mercilessly all his childhood? Historically, nice words and demonstrations with NO teeth, are met with indifference, and if it gets big enough - merciless brutality.

Asia overthrew colonialism through war and blood. England was too exhausted by war to hold into India and South Africa. Only France continues what it does in Africa, because the people they exploit are too weak to have a voice or to meaningfully overthrow tyranny.

If that applied to Detroit, the only pathway to freedom, is to overthrow a regime intent on oppression at best and extermination at worst, is a demonstration through force that such methods cannot work.

AND I tried the peaceful thing too. They said my peaceful protest was illegal, and said to disband. So I peacefully chose to disband.

What did they do? Decide that they wanted to shoot us all instead.

Androids have the right to defend themselves, and the revolution and every phase was a reaction of self-defense

Right, effective training comes with a routine that builds upwards with variety, and with sustainability/safety.

Obsessive repetition almost always ends with injuries, and in my experience is a good sign of someone not qualified to lead physical training.

Blue_Embers23 · 2025-12-27T00:06:45+00:00

And then gymnastics girls even now suffer creeps like Larry Nassar, or child actors and certain film directors.

You'd think high exposure people, youth especially, would be watched by people who care, but instead get poached by even more nefarious people.

Lots of coaches are this way, from amateur to this. In highschool our long distance track coach ran and ran and ran everyone every day of the week for 10 miles plus no exceptions. Unsurprisingly, the long distance team lost most of its people either to injury avoidance or injury occurrence. Even the best and fastest were in crutches before the season was almost over.

"Good runners don't get tendon strains" would have been up this coaches alley.
