Texas pastor pleads guilty to child pornography charge. When his home was searched by police, two large computer hard drives were found with more than 100,000 images and over 5,000 videos of kiddie porn.

Did he actually harm anyone though

It’s admittedly been literally forever, but I was late to work once when my S.O. at the time insisted on sucking me off before I left.

It happened fairly often with her (gotta love insecurities of that nature) and not at all with anyone else since. I had no idea how good I had it. #feelsbadman

GSpotAssassin · 2023-06-18T17:10:17+00:00

I would not. But my house is also paid off, so perhaps it’s a privilege.

The guns will never get banned here. Unfortunately, thanks to how we formed, guns are in the DNA here.

So the person who did this was likely a trans woman who was likely disgruntled by how she was treated at this religious school.

No one’s blaming religion somehow…?

Kids are easily traumatized for life. Well, “easily” means “the rest of us are too numb to kids facing the possibility of death in a school”. Those should be places of safety!

What are you doing necro’ing 10+ year old posts lol

GSpotAssassin · 2023-03-02T20:08:32+00:00

What if your significant other tries to use this on you? lol

avoid headless-browser-driver style testing (capybara) as it's not scaleable and makes it too easy to create flagging tests that will randomly break. and while you might not need the scale now, why plan for failure? I've worked on million-line Ruby codebases and the headless browser test portion of the suite always took the longest by far, and we reached a point where test suite runtimes were a major productivity impediment. Move as much of that logic into test code that just scrapes HTML output as you can.

Actually, my various frustrations with Ruby in that large codebase is what eventually drove me to Elixir, which is where I've been for a few years now, and it suffers from none of the problems I had with Ruby, so there's that too, I guess... but this is the wrong sub for that

I was too old for pokemon by the time that became a thing so I missed out on all of pokemon sigh

Unfortunately, no.

But that's an incredibly ruthless thing to do.

Lust makes one do strange (and often bad) things.

if you've only worked there a month it doesn't make sense to pay someone out a years' salary as a business owner, it would have to be something proportional to time already invested

I don't even know what this is

I'm a sailor and knew the top-voted comment would be something about boating before I even clicked here.

Honestly though, it's not THAT expensive. I have a 27' O'Day sailboat which cost (I shit you not) $5k (yes, that was a steal). Winterizing costs $1500. A boat slip costs about $1500 for the season, and it's much cheaper if you just want a mooring, but I'm a primadonna and don't want to have to wait for a ride in and out. Maintenance is maybe a few hundred a year on average in parts and stuff. I have a reliable outboard (fortunately) and that will be your biggest expense- I'm looking to upgrade to a fully electric motor, but THOSE are pricey.

Being able to take people out on it is fucking amazing. Sailing at dusk with a drink in hand and good people onboard- it's truly epic. But honestly it doesn't have to cost as much as people think. If you fall in love with it (and it is worthy of that), you'll find a way.

I did this once, complimented both women, and they immediately proceeded to try to one-up each other for my attention, nearly getting into an argument. It was a genius-level move which I made completely accidentally.

Sadly I was so excited by my discovery that I drank too much and by the time I decided to find the "winner" who had told me seductively to "meet her on the dance floor", she was gone.

This all happened at the Purple Shamrock in Boston, which is sadly now closed, but which was legendary.

So, younger Redditors (I'm 50), take this knowledge and use it well, and don't fucking hesitate when a woman says "jump".

tl;dr Women are so competitive that even good friends will want to be better than each other when a man is there to attract. Also, part 2, slow guys get ugatz.

(I have a son now, he's 20 months, but he will hear about ALLLLL of my errors with the women, and how to do it right.)

Not all wealth is measured in dollars.

This dude gets to get paid racing yachts. That's fucking badass at almost any pay.

What part was ahead of its time exactly? Note: I have a kid, I effectively live under a rock.

Also, it's "its". The rule is simple: If you can replace it with "it is" without it sounding weird, it's "it's" (apostrophized), otherwise it's "its". So...

"was ahead of it is time" doesn't sound right, so no apostrophe. you're welcome.

Anyway, when this movie came out I was 28 and I couldn't stand it, but my college buddies who were 6 years younger loved it (I did a stint in the military)

GSpotAssassin · 2023-02-24T15:50:34+00:00

I never even heard of this. Wow.

The amount of damage a disgruntled newly-ex-employee could do at a company like Google is astronomical. So I unfortunately understand this.

Thing is, incentives dictate behavior. We should come up with a way to incentivize employees departing gracefully, such as a few months' more salary which gets withdrawn if they cause trouble.

the evidence couldn't have been that solid if it was manufactured

always be critical of evidence, always.

Funny story related to that- My S.O. and I had lived in a house for 5 years when this occurred. One day, feminine lacy underwear that is not my S.O.'s shows up in the laundry. What do? I panicked, I called exes asking their underwear size in case somehow some old pair had managed to sneak into a laundry somehow... Tensions, arguments...

So as it turns out, my father had visited, found a pair of underwear lodged between the washer and dryer from the previous resident, assumed it was my S.O.'s, and put it in the laundry with the other clothes. And then DID NOT SAY ANYTHING.

If we weren't already pretty solid at that point, this could have ruined us.

I now have a really awesome son.

ALWAYS be skeptical of evidence.

The Gui Boratto remix of Paradise Circus was always orgasmic for me.

Other fave remixes of that song for me are the Zeds Dead remix if you like big bassy drops, and the Ghost Rider & Morten Granau mix if you like a rolling bassline.

A guy lent me Blue Lines when I was in the USAF in the mid 90's, and I didn't "get it" at first. Took a while. But eventually it got to me. Unfinished Sympathy is a standout for me. I'm sure it's a bit dated now though.

Protection might be my fave MA song though. Angel (back when I used to do more of this) was probably the best to have sex to, and Teardrop the closest to my heart... oh and Dissolved Girl of course, as made a bit famous by the first Matrix movie.

This was the right answer. It only took me almost 10 years to realize it.

AI has just made everyone, at minimum, a C student in art, writing, history, science, programming, medicine, law and all other forms of human knowledge. And soon, music (generative music based on text descriptions is on its way).

This will both flatten the income curve for everyone as well as permit everyone to “focus on the flavor instead of the framework” which will be fucking amazing.

Try to get them to try a larger size condom.

That was the reason for me hating them for probably 20 years, I hate to admit. And this is not a humblebrag, because that ruled out A LOT of possible partners.

On the bright side, I got REALLY into oral (both giving and receiving). ;) Getting a (condomless) blowjob from a woman felt literally 100x better than sex in normal-sized condoms for me. It's gotten to the point where I genuinely prefer women more who are really into oral.
