I just got some lox on sale and the flesh is greasy and it has a strong smell of fish. Tastes fine, but I’ve never seen that before in smoked salmon. Is this normal? I’m not a big fish guy.

To be clear, I and two others have eaten this and haven’t suffered any ill effects.

These days, Rubio just walks around with resting defeat face. IDK why OP felt it needed to be sloped-up to make the joke.

If you’re doing a factorial the long way, is there any reason to multiply anything times one? It seems like you could just skip it, but I’m not a math guy.

I strongly prefer games with fixed character(s). The biggest problem with open character creation is that it necessitates a narritive full of generic dialogue and events to accommodate every possibility the player might choose. Fixed characters live in a world where they belong, and that world regards them as developed and known individuals, rather than rudimentary flavor dialogue that may account for species, gender, faction, or class.

Roleplaying Geralt, Aloy, Arthur Morgan, and Cal Kestis means pathos, story, and character development. Vault dweller, Dragon-born, and the Tarnished One are coat-racks that you hang armor sets on.

I got my ass paddled 3 times before my State cut that crap out. Mr Summerville got me twice, but that was nothing compared to the drilled-out paddle that Mrs Routin kept.

Throw his ass in the volcano.

It’s always confused me when people make a huge distinction between friendship and romance. By my thinking, a romantic relationship is a type of friendship. Like squares and rectangles.

The idea that you could be in a committed relationship with someone who’s not your friend seems bizarre and hostile somehow.

AI =/= shitpost, rather AI == shit.

This is DEI for robots. If you have to lower the standards to qualify; you don’t.

There is an English equivalent: burgher. (pronounced like hamburger)

It just means a “person of town”. And you don’t have to memorize ludicrous French spelling.

If insurance companies were getting hosed by injured people, why don’t they look into ways that cars might cause fewer injuries instead of abandoning the injured?

Capitalism is the enemy of reason.

The internet is a great place for children to express wild views and try out extreme politics in order to test boundaries and discover themselves. I support this acting-out; it’s healthy. You may grow up to be an moderately adjusted person.

I literally had never a seen a single person who looks good with them.

What if I told you that what people do with their bodies may (and stick with me here) have absolutely nothing to do with what pleases you? Who made you the body police in the first place?

As someone who’s worked in restaurants what I recognize about this bathroom is all the beautiful tile. What that means is that somewhere in the house, there is a hose that spits boiling hot water. With this hose you can clean and sanitize a bathroom stall without ever having to step inside of it.

The first restaurant I ever worked in was a fast food joint and they cleaned the whole dining room this way. They had that water heater turned up to fuck-you and it was a little scary.

I know that Xwitter is usually a reliable source, but 1000nm is outside visual range and therefore not green. Green lasers in the ~500nm range will absolutely damage a camera sensor, but you’ll need good aim and sustained illumination.

Fun fact: strip clubs don’t employ the girls.

They’re “independent contractors” who actually pay the house to use the stage or the VIP rooms. This creates a natural filter so that girls that are less popular make less money until they move on. In a mid-sized city like mine, you’ll have a hierarchy of clubs from the one with the richest clients and the hottest dancers, to the poorest clients and lest attractive dancers. Also there will be a club where black dudes are more welcome. (often the “worst” club)

So, stripping was gig work before the term. And it’s no surprise that extra-exploitative labor practices were tested out on women first.

I just wanna be clear, I’m not downvoting Sarkeesian, I’m downvoting AI slop.

Shooting them in the head doesn’t kill them. Nothing can. Even chopping them into little pieces, the peaces start attacking you. You can burn them up, but that will just spread the curse to other corpses in the acid rain.

My source is the zombie documentary: Return of the Living Dead (1985)

I used to work with Hospice. I once witnessed a nurse explain to a patient that their son wasn’t going to visit. The patient did not take it well. I asked her about it later and she said contacting estranged relatives on behalf of patients was practically part of the process, and refusal was more common than acceptance. Also the nurse can expect verbal abuse from both parties.

I don’t know wright or wrong, but I do know that death regularly fails to overcome estrangement.

Why is Hitler popular in India? Is it just an anti-British thing?

I know that some Irish and Indians sought alliance with Hitler to aid in their own liberation. Finland did the same thing, not because Britain was an Allied nation, but because the USSR was.
