Slight problem with the meme vs what OP is doing: Someone evaluating choices isn’t going to know what to search for from logos. They’ll n only recognize Google, Apple, and Windows, with a slight possibility on Linux distros.

This is not going to be helpful, but I started weight loss that resulted in about 35 pounds lost simply by going to a con and waiting for people to meet up to eat. Ended up with me not eating until like 8pm each day, so close to 24 hour fasts for 4 days in a row.

Once I was kinda used to it, I did shorter ones and started roughly calorie counting as well.

Elder Millennial here, I hate the whole mocking of generations and hoped ours wouldn’t do it as much, but I’m still seeing people of my generation doing so. We did stuff others might call dumb too, or just stuff for the hell of it.

Wait, I missed the space exploration part. Why is that partisan now?

Nape of the neck being sexualized due to Japanese kimonos. We need to ban these abhorrent neck revealing robes and wrap up women’s entire neck.

Up next, we have to stop all this Niqab and burka porn!

We’re still getting blamed often. I haven’t in a month or two, but normally I listen to a podcast called Knowledge Fight which critically analyzes Alex Jones and a few similar grifters in a taking them in full context way(generally outlets miss the truly heinous stuff Jones says for quick soundbites, and he uses it as a defense to his audience).

Now you may think ol AJ isn’t relevant, but you still see right wing talking points come either early on his show or he repeats them quickly. He keeps basically a “rogues gallery” of people to blame for whatever, and BLM, Jessie Smollet, Obama aren’t always on the list, but at least one of them shows back up monthly, along with Antifa, Soros, Klaus Schwab, communism, Bill Gates, vaccines, trans people, gay people, China, etc

It’s not that they stopped blaming black people (and never stopped blaming queer people), it’s that they have so many buzz words to swap us out on rotation. They haven’t forgotten though. They still hate us.

Some programs just didn’t work on NT though. A lot of installers were more OS specific back then.

A bit confused, are you reacting to sadistic? That word doesn’t mean evil, it means enjoying giving pain to others. There are murders that aren’t as sadistic, as they could try to poison someone in sleep etc, giving no pain.

The wording is suggesting they very much enjoyed the process of committing the murder, making it more painful on purpose.

Some people evidently do not hear a voice in their head. It generally blows the minds of people who do, but minds are so varied its possible we’re misunderstanding each other when discussing voices in head. Similar to the question if two people see red, but only know it’s red because someone taught them, can we be absolutely sure we both experience the exact same “red”?

If your mental white balance is off, everything would vary in the same amount, but if you could b9th project the image you see somehow into another mind it would look different.

Occam’s razor. Which is more likely: Punkie made a mistake in wording when describing the situation, or the security team, who is very likely completely unaware of Punkie and Julie’s relationship plus as noted later has no idea who Julie is made up out of thin air that Punkie convinced a stranger on the phone that one of their junior staff convinced said strangers daughter to run away?

chatokun , 5 months ago to news in 13-year-old boy fatally shot man whose leg was blocking aisle of bus, Denver police say

I got beat regularly, and my stepfather at the time used to do stuff like make me wait in the basement for 30 mins, then he’d slowly walk down the stairs with his belt unbuckled so we could hear the jingling in each step, then he’d tell us some scriptures and say this hurt him more than us.

Then if you cried right away it was faking, but if you held on too long it was you being rebellious and stubborn, so my brother and I learned to start faking our cries after the 6th or 7th hit.

I told that to friends as an adult as what I thought was a kinda funny story, and they properly realized I was abused in a somewhat sadistic way and pointed it out to me.

They weren’t calling me out for having a different environment, they were correcting my incorrect belief that it was normal or acceptable.

People are doing the same for you. You made it out safely, but giving unstable teens access to guns is definitely a risk that probably shouldn’t be taken. Survivor bias isn’t an excuse to say it’s fine.
