Usually it’ll be something like,

“If you try to put up a fight I’ll scream, guess who everyone’s gonna believe?”

Or if you’re really unlucky,

“Be my baby’s daddy!”, suddenly locks legs like a vise and begins grinding like there’s no tomorrow

With girl on guy it’s a lot less about physical overpowering and a lot more about weaponized social biases or lying about the intent of consensual sex for the purpose of trapping them into something.

If you’ve seen the infamous “Female Dating Strategy” forums, a lot of “tricks and tips” they come out with to “lock down your man” or “make him commit already!” basically amount to some form of Girl on Guy SA, either socially blackmailing them with the fear of you dragging them into a public accusation, which they aren’t ever gonna recover from even if found completely innocent, or by sabotaging contraceptives or tricking him into finishing inside to make a baby on purpose and then trying to shotgun wedding the whole thing.

Sex workers do sometimes offer reduced effective rates per hour for extended time.

Usually you’re not gonna be allowed to offer for those unless you’ve spent time with that worker already and they’ve decided you can at least be trusted enough to not go psycho with enough time on hand.

By the time you’re talking about overnight service, either they know ya and they like ya enough to spend an evening with you, or they’re advertising the package openly because they’re pretty confident that they can bring anyone who tries something funny down harder than a meteor, that kind of work makes folks stronk, and they ain’t afraid to use that if you’re fuckin’ around.

The only institution that performs more criminal and social background checks than the ATF and intelligence apparatus is America’s network of communicating sex workers.

IIRC Canada’s actually touching similar demographic diversity to the US, the difference is more in what demographics specifically since Canada tended to draw from the corners of the British Empire specifically while the US would draw folks from all the rest of the world as well.

Even bees will play with little balls! Usually by rolling them around and rolling around on top of them.

I agree pretty heartily with this metadata signing approach to sussing out AI content,

Create a cert org that verifies that a given piece of creative software properly signs work made with their tools, get eyeballs on the cert so consumers know to look for it, watch and laugh while everyone who can’t get thr cert starts trying to claim they’re being censored because nobody trusts any of their shit anymore.

Bonus points if you can get the largest social media companies to only accept content that has the signing and have it flag when signs indicate photoshopping or AI work, or removal of another artist’s watermark.

PhlubbaDubba ,

There are ways to secure signatures to be a problem to recreate, not to mention how the signature can be unique to every piece of media made, meaning a fake can’t be created reliably.

PhlubbaDubba , (edited )

Importing and screen capping software can also have the certificate software on and sign it with the metadata of the original file they’re copying, taking a picture of the screen with a separate device or pixel by pixel recreations could in theory get around it, but in practice, people will see at best a camera image being presented as a photoshopped or paintmade image, and at worst, some loser pointing their phone at their laptop to try and pass off something dishonestly. Pixel by pixel recreations, again, software can be given the metadata stamp, and if sites refuse to accept non stamped content, going pixel by pixel on unvetted software will just leave you with a neat png file for your trouble, and doing it manually, yeah if someone’s going through and hand placing squares just to slip a single deep fake picture through, that person’s a state actor and that’s a whole other can of worms.

ETA: you can also sign the pixel art creation as pixel art based on it being a creation of squares, so that would tip people off in the signature notes of a post.

So that’s what LinLin’s been up to since Onigashima. Good for her for finding a cause she believes in I guess? Though I’m not exactly sure someone who can’t tell the difference between blood and strawberry jam is the best choice for responsibility over such an effort.

U.S. Military Planes Are in Haiti. Haitians Don’t Know Why. (foreignpolicy.com)

In the past several weeks, I have watched dozens of sleek U.S. military planes descend over Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where I live. They were the first flights to land since gangs blockaded and halted commercial air traffic in March. U.S. news reports suggest that the aircraft contained...

PhlubbaDubba ,

Looks like they’re getting ready for whatever play they intend to make against the gangs and are trying to keep exacts on the hush hush to avoid the gangs being able to make preparations.

They’re called gangs in print but it’s worth remembering that these organizations have military training and equipment at their disposal far exceeding what you’d picture when someone says the word “gang”, at this point it’d be more accurate to consider them warlord bands.

PhlubbaDubba ,

It’s because they want to remove the political goals some of these groups have from their public narrative.

Which, you can debate how underhanded doing something like that is, or how good or bad based on what those narratives are.

PhlubbaDubba ,

I don’t have sources but I’ve heard tell the biggest gang right now is led by a guy who guys by BBQ, and his stated goals are basically a combination of Liberation rhetoric and demanding the government submit to his authority as the legitimate transitional executive.

Stuff contraband in pockets of opposite sides facing in if you stand side to side, pretend to be leaning on each other as you walk in with goodies well concealed.

PhlubbaDubba ,

Eh, whackamole enforcement usually cuts mustard with this kind of stuff.

Like yeah someone’s gonna do it anyways just because, but then all it takes is enough people raising an alarm to bring it down, and as a side effect, remove more shitass developers from the market.

You end up with an equilibrium where not every example is getting the hammers of justice, but enough examples are that the average consumer still feels the benefit of a noticeably less toxic internet.

Homer referred to the ocean as “wine dark”, if you’ve seen pictures of the Mediterranean around Greece, that shit’s as Blue as Blue can be, so what it probably boiled down to is that they could “see” blue, but they always understood it as a blackish color or Green if they had distinguished that by that point.

Basically, there wasn’t a lot of necessity use in distinguishing blue, so most people didn’t until recently.

PhlubbaDubba ,

Orange being seen as shades of either red or yellow is also why they’re called redheads, it predates the word Orange entering the english language and being a better descriptor of most of the shades in that range of hair colors.

Reminds me of that footage of the Chinese and Indian militaries beating the shit out of eachother with wooden sticks because they were worried even small arms fire could cause enough echo to start an avalanche.

Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? (old.lemmy.world)

Disclaimer: I am not trolling, I am an autistic person who doesn’t understand so many social nuances. Also I am from New Hampshire (97% white), so I just don’t have any close African-American friends that I am willing to risk asking such a loaded question.

PhlubbaDubba ,

Probably a lot of black families actually do have fried chicken, barbeque and cookouts are apparently a big part of the festivities traditionally.

If you find yourself becoming such good friends with a black person that they actually invite you to one of these cookouts, don’t bring fried chicken, or watermelons, or most of the stereotypical “black” foods, they’re considered black people food because the post civil war south fostered an environment of chronic black poverty on purpose that led to black families tending towards raising cheaper animals and growing cheaper crops for their own consumption.

So a white guy cracking watermelon or fried chicken jokes or bringing that kind of stuff to a black celebration comes across less as trying to share in the culture and more as rubbing salt in a, in many ways still open, wound.

As for what you should bring, bro just ask. Just making it known ya want to bring something for folks to enjoy will be good and appreciated, and if they decide they’d like to take you up on that, they’ll either give you a recipe off their list of stuff they’ve decided they want or ask what you think you can handle making and take your word on that if anything you feel confident making sounds good. Who knows, maybe that year will go down as the year that corned beef ya mentioned becomes a staple of the annual cookout!

PhlubbaDubba ,

Make sure you can go wide eyed enough that they start laughing if they were just razzing you

So funny thing, apparently this here is actually a very small part of horse unit work, and the reason cities might still have a horse patrol is because they’re convenient to send out on heavy bar nights.

Why?

Because the drunks are all overgrown toddlers and drop the belligerent act because “shhhhhh don’t spook the horsey!!!”

That being said the vid of the one loser in London basically getting corralled like a misbehaving calf by a single patrol lady is still pretty damn funny.

The new stickman game is looking great! Glad to see Innersloth can still find ways to escalate things from the last game!

Not too dangerous, weren’t they identified as the predator in a lot of Maori stories about man hunting birds?

Hi there, you seem to be equating death threats and harassment with voting with your wallet, which is wrong and stupid and you should fucking know better.

Also, if everybody else doesn’t need to feel pandered to in order to feel good buying a game with a protag that looks like you, you being so “principled” and “vote with your wallet” about games featuring characters that look like everyone else is pretty fucking sus.

You don’t live in a bubble of no context, where this energy at defending black consumers who aren’t interested in yet another generic brunette white male dudebrotagonist with the snarky quips even Spidey and Joss Whedon would be cringing at.

PhlubbaDubba ,

Shock of shocks, a company that refuses to work with a D&I consulting firm is soon found to have serious D&I problems.

Bro this is like saying there’s a conspiracy afoot because the cops “magically” showed up to arrest me just days after I shot someone in broad daylight, or that the tree “magically” only fell through your roof after you told the insurance salesman to fuck off, or that your house only flooded “magically” right after you told the plumbers you could handle the burst pipe yourself.

PhlubbaDubba ,

Tell that to all your rotted out walls and floor boards.

PhlubbaDubba ,

Yeah because Tony Soprano definitely has the time to come break your pipes specifically over not buying some dude’s flood insurance.

That definitely checks Occam’s razer. What is your salmonella from the pasteurization mafia now too?

Probably to facilitate it on the Android Studio test environment, that or it’s legacy from the linux kernel

I mean because android is a linux based OS it could have inherited ctrl-Z from Linux’s list of ctrl options.

Why was the American federal corrections system harder to escape compared to Colombia's?

This is based off of my conclusions from watching Narcos. The narcotraffickers in Colombia were terrified of being extradited to the US because they knew they would never be able to break out of prison, whereas they were certain that they could strong arm their way out of any Colombian corrections facilities. Their methods in...

PhlubbaDubba ,

Escaping is a crime in of itself in the US, so most prisoners will just try to keep their heads down and stay out of the way of getting their sentences extended. Also, US prison can be where you’re stuck for the rest of your entire life if you keep pushing it, as opposed to in LAM where some countries have a maximum term you can spend on a single prison sentence.

There are also inner gangs inside the prisons that will basically act as a trap for the really dangerous criminals, both for serially getting them into sentence extensions, and for the fact that they’re as liable to come after you for trying to escape as the justice system is, and not even getting moved to another prison will be enough to save you from some of them if they think you were trying to flake on them.

The juice is highly acidic to the point of being able to tenderize meats without assistance

Put your salami in that and it’s gonna come out looking like chorizo

PhlubbaDubba ,

I wonder if those tenderizing properties are what make people swear by pineapple slices on pizza and burgers

Knowing how much Hawaiians love spam, they’re probably over the moon for accompanying elements that can compliment or add to or even concentrate those porkey and salty flavors

Nah there’s ways to prepare ham to be on the sweeter side, haven’t heard of it being done that way for pizza though. Usually it’s for a deli cut or charcuterie plate.

This makes me think that the local transit authority needs to be running more pickup times at this stop

Have those warning labels been shown to work like at all? We already have awareness saturation about just how awful cigarettes are for you.

Ok who actually talks like this? I haven’t even seen TikTokkers talking like this, the one exception was when the writers for Elsbeth tried to write a zoomer/alphie tennis stadium worker

Not for the ulcer itself but possibly for any distress caused between the time the ulcer appears and when he realized it due to one upping the idea of rubbing salt in a wound.

Is someone safe if they report income from illegal means to the IRS?

I have seen multiple times on Lemmy that the IRS wants people to report income from illegal means and that they don’t care to bust someone for it. For example, an illicit drug dealer is expected by the IRS to report their drug sale revenue without having to worry about being caught for drug dealing....

I personally like the “literally everyone else got their first” theory as a joke that suggests that Mansa Musa’s predecessor and the Ming Dynasty treasure fleets also happened to get there, granted with Mansa Musa’s predecessor making a one way trip and with the treasure fleets not actually having realized they’d hit a distinct landmass.
