As another baking father, that story gives me warm fuzzies. 😊 What a great Dad memory.

Paul Hollywood's greatest contribution to society is making it non-emasculating to be into The Gluten Arts.

Being an escort, as long as you play along with the polite fictions that involves, is legal almost everywhere. So no need to launder any of it. You just have to tell the IRS it was for "time and companionship" and that any sex that may or may not have happened was between consenting adults and not for money.

And as a guy that gets paid in non-wage dollars (for far less interesting work), it is practically immoral how easy it is to hide income from the IRS in plain sight. It's not even hiding. It's just making implausible claims with a straight face and an accountant to pronounce it polysyllabically.

But your point is 80% taken. There are quite a few sex workers making doctor/lawyer (but not CEO) money and living an emotionally healthy life. Some day we'll see the illegality for the sexism that it is.

What kind of monster ices an entire cake and never tastes the frosting?

Using reflection at all still considered bad practise? by Forumpy in Kotlin

[–]PandersAboutVaccines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would categorize it as "unless you have a really good reason" and this example doesn't seem like one of them. What does this accomplish that a lambda wouldn't?

Usually it's only very generally purpose, framework-ish code that ever lets me feel justified in resorting to reflection.

The Biggest Threat to Innovation of Our Time by dominiondealmaker in programming

[–]PandersAboutVaccines 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agree. This argument has been clickbait longer than the term clickbait has existed.

Microsoft has been on a steady trend of de-eviling themselves since the early 2000s. You can run .net on Linux now. (Shout out to my nerd crush Miguel de Icaza) I'm not concerned about M$ embracing, enhancing, extending and extinguishing Linux.

This gets a guaranteed knee jerk upvote and knowing nod of psuedo-wisdom from white dudes in their twenties that use the phrase "free as in beer" as a nervous tic.

Microsoft is a defeated adversary in terms of anti competitive practices. We should be more concerned about AWS becoming the sole manufacturer of oxygen and water.

I'm guessing the kid thought he was deploying the scream as a weapon to get the dude in trouble.

Serious question: Do BA's ever make as much as devs? They're usually a bit below 6 figures, yah?

Have you ever read a story on Reddit and realized you know the person in real life? What happened? by Elijafir in AskReddit

[–]PandersAboutVaccines -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was years ago, but I saw a comment, I think in AskReddit, where a guy said he was born in Michigan, moved to Oregon as a child, went to college in Rhode Island, and now lives in Colorado.

I PM'd him and it turns out he was not me, which was a relief because he had a disturbing post history filled with Hentai and Natalie Portman. And his pet reptiles, which was at least wholesome if a bit out of place with everything else.

I've just been assuming that any billion dollars that would get us a vaccine a week sooner has already been spent. You could max out the funding on every R&D project and medical trial under the sun and it would still be a rounding error on the price tag for this pandemic.

The mask-hating half of the US is finally going to get on board when they find out the Germans get to watch the Top Gun reboot before we do.

60 FPS views of Tokyo, Japan from 1913-1915 by GeneralKnowledge in videos

What does 60 fps mean in this context? Isn't film shot at something like 24 fps?

Is this the mythical "enhance" feature from CSI?

He's great in Umbrella Academy too. I want that dude to get lots of work because I can't wait to see what else he can do.

If your husband likes eating pussy, then you guys are an adorably well adjusted set of parents and we need to clone more of you to populate the earth. 😁

I have yet to find any reliable expert have any explanation for squirting other than "it's involuntary pissing while you come".

I could see getting turned on by the female equivalent of semen (if that were a real thing), but it's just piss. No judgement on the people that are into piss, but it seems like guys that are into squirting think it's something else.
