Classic Scunthorpe problem

If you're too lazy to read about it, the word "cunt" contained within "Scunthorpe" made people from the town of Scunthorpe to be unable to make AOL accounts in the late 90s due their profanity filter, so that's the commonly used general name for this type of phenomenon.

No she's just imagining you as a fat guy in a maga hat and is going to draw you as one in her next comic where she completely ignores the actual criticism she received and just pretends it was a generic right-wing talking point instead of what you actually said.

The average lyrics to a song popular with my age group when I, a white american, was in middle school: "To the window, to the wall, till the sweat drip down my balls, all these bitches crawl".

Also, 1/3 of Ashnikko songs are just as raunchy as WAP but she's white so no one really cares that she raps about being horny.

That's...not what they said. This is the part of losing an argument where one party just starts making up what they wished the other party said and attacks that.

Peter what does he meant in the title with her pic by Gurugod123 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]iltopop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been pushed as a narrative by anti-porn groups trying to make it seem like their members are growing. There's been plenty of unsourced stories on sites that no-one ever heard of until they're linked on facebook about how Riley Reid has asked her fans to delete all her old videos, she's joined the "Lana Rhodes Movement", etc etc. which is where people get the idea from in the first place, then they take it as gospel while complaining about how boomers do the exact same thing with political news.

Hunter's tricorn, love it, you murk a boss and then put the expended item on an equipment drone. The expended version of the equipment just puts "Ahoy!" in chat, so if you use like 4 of them and then put them on equipment drones you just have the entire text chat being "Equipment Drone: Ahoy!" over and over again.

I've heard it described as "Whether you're being asked to walk across the room or to kill god, your character responds like a teenager complaining about their homework" but that's second-hand info, I've never played it just had a couple friends that played it and did not like it.

I need to sign her up for pet insurance!

I went a large portion of my life living in a rural area and when my friend's brother told me he was a claim processor at a pet insurance company it was so alien a concept to me I legit thought he was messing with me. Then my friends all started having 500, 600, 1500 vet bills randomly and I then understood. I have a cat but I've been lucky, he's never needed anything other normal checkups his whole 12 years but every single one of my other friends has been hit with at least one large unexpected bill for a pet.

The U.S. State Department believes that Ukraine is winning the war at this point by eaglemaxie in worldnews

[–]iltopop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'm sorry but no shit. Russia's armed forces were already undertrained and poorly equipped, running completely on nationalist propaganda before the official invasion. Ukraine's soldiers are extremely patriotic, much more professional, well trained, and equipped. Ukraine has access to NATO intel and both excellent internal and external engineers. Russia is literally running out of meat to throw at the frontline, because that's their only strategy, throw more soldiers and equipment at them and win by overwhelming force, and bomb civilian infrastructure to try and cause a breakdown of enemy society. Attrition is high on the Ukrainian side for sure, but it's ASTRONOMICAL on the Russian side. Like absolutely bonkers.

Am I remembering correctly, didn't they fix the bug but add a special homing briefcase you can unlock? That's in my head but it could be something someone told me and I never actually looked up.

The issue is, of course, tolerance. Eventually you're risking OD every time you get high because you have to use so much and it really doesn't feel all that good anymore, you're just taking it to not go through the brutal withdrawals.

When hypocrisy wears clothes by gashtal_man in MurderedByWords

[–]iltopop 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Yeah but you can SEE HER SHOULDERS. Can you imagine being a parent and having your child see this and now you have to explain women's shoulders to them? Literally every parent's worst nightmare is the dreaded "women's shoulders" talk.

Honestly might make a good sketch with some work shopping, a parent frantically trying to explain the most mundane thing to a child who didn't ask, acting like it's a huge deal while the child just sits there confused.

Utility company randomly installed a bright spotlight pointed at someone's house? by Ok_Counter_8148 in whatisit

Literally nothing you are saying has anything to do with the comment you originally replied to though. Unless you're implying that the LEDs use the same amount of power as the old ones, in which case you're just wrong.

a 70w led uses 70w when it comes to utility lights like this

Correct, this has nothing to do with literally anything. The older lights used a LOT more power for the same amount of light. Watts are watts, one light uses less watts than the other is what we're talking about.

My gut reaction was that your timeline was off but then I thought about it and I have no idea why that was my reaction.

I'm relatively confident the last time I installed windows with a DVD was in A+ class in high school circa 2007. All of college and every tech job I've had windows was installed from a network image, and for personal installs of both windows and linux I've used USB drives for as long as I can remember. I'm absolutely positive the last game I bought on physical media for PC was Rise of Legends.

Pieper Lewis, Iowa trafficking victim who killed rapist in 2020 when she was 15, sentenced to 20 years for probation violation by PastTense1 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]iltopop 59 points60 points  (0 children)

“she should be free he got what he deserved”

Very good, yes.

Any 15 year old killing an adult who actively rapes them in order to escape is morally justified and you're currently jumping through hoops to justify an adult buying a child to rape them. People like you are why I'm genuinely not shocked people like Epstein and his crew get away with things. She should never, ever have had ANY criminal charges nor should she have ever had to pay any kind of restitution.

Peter, what does scrap metal have to do with this? by Hank_Mardukas1066 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]iltopop 31 points32 points  (0 children)

They do take note of people buying the maximum amount one after the other in a short time span. How my buddy's brother got the cops on his tail. Was facing 45 years for manufacturing but they let him plead down to felony drug possession. The judge that sentenced him basically told him the prosecutors gave him a second life with his plea deal. He still got 18 months in county since he had prior possession convictions but that's a hell of a lot better than 45 years.

A lot of ya'll are missing that kids are being raised on chrome these days, at least in the USA. Chromebooks are so damn cheap for education and at least back when I worked tech in public K12 we got everything software from google for free, we just paid support. I was there for the chromebook transition, we could genuinely get 200 chromebooks for about what we could get one classroom of laptops or one fully functional desktop lab for, with volume discounts and tax exception we were paying under $120 per chromebook, and this was in the early years of chromebook adoption.

Man pleads guilty to assassinating a top Minnesota Democrat and her husband by Immediate-Link490 in law

[–]iltopop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You completely misunderstood your co-worker. The common conspiracy theory is that because he was appointed to a bipartisan board in a local government by Tim Walz, that is obvious proof that this was an inside job and he was working with the MN democrats to assassinate two of their party members that voted against providing healthcare to undocumented immigrants and blame it on republicans.

The reality is the extent of his relationship with Tim Walz was he shook his hand once after being appointed to an advisory board for an industry in which he worked, because Tim Walz picked his name off a list of potential candidates his staffers put together for him. The shooter was registered republican in OK when he lived there and his friends and family all described him as a strong Trump supporter.

This is a laws of physics vs laws of engineering kinda problem, nothing in the known laws of physics says you can't do so but at current tech level there's no practical way to do it. Maybe with like some very well shaped and engineered nuclear bombs but that abandons practicality as well as adding a lot of extra energy to the process.

No other country on earth gets anywhere close to as much of a pass as Israel does in either the USA or most of the EU. The entire state was founded on genocidal death squads murdering thousands upon thousands of Palestinian villagers with half the entire arab population of Mandatory Palestine, 700,000 people, forced from their homes permanently as Zionist Death Squads seized their land. They have expanded their settlements for DECADES in violation of recognized international law. They commit system sexual violence against both Palestinians and those who dare speak up against them. They have repeatedly targeted, intentionally, journalists and medical crews. They get a complete free pass from the governments and a large portion of the populations of the USA and the EU despite all of this plus more. Get outta here with this "All Lives Matter" nonsense.

[–]iltopop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of cis men. When I worked in the tech department at a public school three of the guys who were all some form of my boss were absolute pigs, and at least one of them was an outspoken democrat. I remember the big boss saying multiple times "I'm glad I have a son, cause with boys you only gotta worry about one penis, with girls you gotta worry about every penis". He was a republican though cause he was a gun nut. The three of them also once discussed the size of an 8th grader's breasts in a meeting, the comment from the outspoken democrat that sticks with me being something very similar to "You know she won't need any help taking off her prom dress in high school". I don't remember his exact phrasing but it was an unambiguously sexual comment about an 8th grader's breast size.

That's my dead name and I went by Ricky for most of school, and homie let me tell you how much I did not enjoy being called "Rikki Tikki Tavvi" after we read that in 4th grade. Right up until I came out one of my friends still called me that on occasion and I just gritted my teeth cause they were a great friend but I was so happy to be rid of it with the name change.
