Why not just update SKSE to match?

MayaVulpes OP ,

Isn’t that only compatible with the latest version of Skyrim? I have 1.6.659. whilst that is for 1.6.679; I believe.

@LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

No this is not normal… it’s not sanitary for one and nobody wants yeast infections. It also doesn’t really have a suitable structure for that, and the outside rind… I mean I cannot imagine that feels nice. It’s a meme more than anything like I know people are out there with food fetish and it definitely has been done by someone before but no this is very uncommon lol.

you put a condom on it to solve most of that

One of the “protect our children” protests in the UK yesterday involved burning down a brand new library because…reasons, I guess?

If you ever had any doubts about the right wing protests affecting the UK, remember they burned down a local community library for no fucking reason.

Oh, okay. Interesting. Do you have an idea of why the internet cares so much? Considering most of us have been lubricating penises with our saliva for hundreds of thousands of years.

Dammit. I’ll watch the video.

People are missing the more important question:
Why did she put the cucumber back in the fridge?

PhlubbaDubba ,

Keeps it fresh for longer for as much fun as possible.

Valmond ,

You have to put it in lukewarm water for 30min / 1 hour too so putting it in the fridge seems counterproductive.

Well so I have heard, but it was for zucchinis (true story actually, but it was the guy explaining it, I have no idea if it was only used for stroking or penetrating or just to fool around with to lighten up the miod or something. I also recall something about peeling it but that seems wrong).

blady_blah ,

ient dirty joke. Back in the day kids you could find collections of them in printed books, and later, entire websites solely dedicated to hosting thousands of dirty jokes. They were presented in story format, often happening to your cousin’s friend.

Not saying no one had ever had this happen to them in the history of mankind. But this is also an old dirty joke that is probably more commonly repeated than acted out.

*WITHOUT WASHING IT! I mean, was she ok with it being eaten by another family member as long as it wasn’t her? That’s just as gross!

Badeendje , to nostupidquestions in How does renouncing citizenship work?
@Badeendje@lemmy.world avatar

Depends on the country, but you will have to check with country B what form requirements they have for you to prove you did it.

Followupquestion , to asklemmy in Who is the GOATest GOAT?

I’d say GOAT should be a Council of greats, like the Jedi Council but without the religious extremism and child soldiers. I’d like to nominate a couple for this council:

Wilt Chamberlain- go look up his records

Andre the Giant - his drinking records alone should put him on the Council, but reportedly he was a very nice person as well

Dolph Lundgren - he plays a meathead in Expendables movies, but he’s a legit genius, as well as a literally massive human

Steve Wozniak - he managed to build the PC despite Steve Jobs being a colossal dick

Saint Olga - she took vengeance and raised it to an art form

kurcatovium , to asklemmy in What are your favorite open-source games?

Haven’t played it much but for all fans of Thief games there’s foss game called The Dark Mod. And I haven’t seen it mentioned here, which is a shame.

@viking@infosec.pub avatar

That still requires you to own the original Thief Gold though, so I’m not sure it qualifies as truly open source.

The mod is excellent though, played it earlier this year. Thief is still one of the best games out there.

PhlubbaDubba , to nostupidquestions in How does renouncing citizenship work?

Well if you’re an American, expensively.

The IRS is determined to make sure that they juice every last drop out of you to make sure that you feel the hurt, because Americans denouncing their citizenship are one of two kinds typically, either A) Political migrants who are renouncing to make a statement about some great failing of the US, usually something the feds have dug their heals in over like Vietnam, or B) Financial migrants who are trying to escape tax increases.

Either way, the feds have a vested interest in deterring that behavior as much as possible and so the US is one of the few places that gets away with enforcing an arm and a leg exit tax and IIRC still makes you pay another 10 years worth afterwards basically to punish you for trying to skip your duty to your fellow citizens to support the country and her infrastructure and services that everyone shares.

Elizabeth Warren had actually proposed tightening the noose even harder during the 2020 primaries because where Republicans loose their shit over the idea of women being able to outsmart abortion restrictions, Dems, and especially progressive Dems, loose theirs at the thought of some Elon Musk type being able to take the bag they made off American infrastructure and labor and run away with it to avoid paying the fair share back.

People usually call it brain drain but really it’s all down to tax dodging, between the high rate of immigration and envy of the world higher education quality (so long as you can afford it), America is not running out of smart people without a 20th century style purge of the “intellectual class” by authoritarian militias because smart people aren’t dumb enough to go along with their strong man fetish.

Tl;Dr, the IRS REALLY wants to make sure you know that renouncing for financial reasons is gonna be way more costly than what you’re gonna save by fleeing to a tax haven.

frickineh ,

Yeah you didn’t remember correctly at all. The fee to renounce citizenship is ~$2300 for everyone. For the IRS piece, you file a final tax return the year you renounce citizenship, and they check to see if you’ve been compliant and paid everything you owe for the previous 5 years, but the exit tax only kicks in if you’re worth over $2 million, paid an average of a shitload of taxes (like more than twice the US median household income, so most people aren’t going to qualify) over the previous 5 years, or don’t certify that you’re in compliance. IF you have a lot of money, they treat it as though you’ve sold everything you own and calculate what that would be worth, deduct $821,000 (as of last year), then tax the rest of the amount they calculated. Then you’re done, unless you happen to have US income after that.
