I wore comfortable shoes I can run in to all first dates after that.

This absolutely breaks my heart to read. Like I as a man will probably never relate to this struggle or be able to understand it on a personal level but probably all of my woman friends would read this and either think, “hey, that’s good advice” or “yup I already do that as well as XYZ to stay safe”

Like fuck. How is it that I put exactly zero effort into not being a creepy rapey predator, and I’m not chasing women to their cars, yet at the same time every woman that I know has a story at least somewhat similar? Why does it feel almost inherently true that there will always be a subset of shitty guys that view women as their prey/right/property/conquest?

What a shit world we’re living in.

I’m sorry for rambling and I’m sorry that this is something you have to live with.

This reads like someone in the comments of an Onion article mad that someone would spread false information.

It’s a joke, g. Throw some dice and make up some bullshit RAW of your own, it’s fun.

Huh, ok. I already have it set it view read posts, so it’s odd that hitting the check makes things disappear rather than just being grayed out and “read”. Thanks for the advice though

Heavens no! It’s just an idea that I realized was possible and have decided to state it as fact. They probably are, right?

Money is The One Ring

+1 for the pouch Haines (boxer briefs) I’m literally wearing a pair right now

At first I thought you meant DM like DnD, haha.

Normal? No idea, probably not. But I can confirm it works well enough.

Huh, no shit! It’s been a year already.

I think that means I’m getting old.

Not necessarily PC related, but:

Uninterrupted Power Supply

Think that’s that wizards get when they’re having trouble studying.

It does not, in any category besides “messages” it just makes the icon go away (but it comes back after the above mentioned events), when in “messages” it just expands the collapsed conversation thread to show each message as its own thread (all of which are read).

I live in a newly developed area. The nearest convenience store to me is a ~10 minute drive. Also, since people only started living here a few years ago, the city has only just started paying attention to quality of life things like shade trees, so you’d be walking a good 45 minutes there and back in direct sunlight.

I fucking hate this country 🙃

Look up a shaved silverback… them mofos are scary.

Sorry man, I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking.

If you are able to load the content on your computer without infringing copyright laws, you’re allowed to circumvent whatever the website has in place to store whatever data you would like from whatever website you would like, regardless of the nature of the site, so long as the content is legal (is not CP) and again not being presented in a way that infringes aforementioned copyright laws.

If you’re asking why the copyright laws exist, I can’t really help you with that one.

Who said that you can’t scrape content from the other place?

If you scraped a pirate site and stored a bunch of links to copyrighted content you’d probably be fine,

If you’re referring to the last line, I say I wouldn’t want authorities to find it because I don’t want to have to explain it. I’m 99% sure someone would not just store links to a bunch of pirated content for fun, they probably have accessed said pirated content, now you have to explain to the authorities why you have links to pirated content without implicating yourself in copyright infringement.

Like I said, probably fine, I just wouldn’t want the hassle if I somehow got caught.

If you scraped a pirate site and stored a bunch of links to copyrighted content you’d probably be fine, actually using those links to download or share copyrighted content is what’s illegal. It’d be like buying the stuff to make a bomb or drugs, but then not making any bombs or drugs.

That being said, while not necessarily illegal, I wouldn’t want authorities to find my bomb and drug ingredients, or my scraped piracy links, as I’d probably have some 'splainin to do.

(Not a lawyer)

Do I not amplify the background noise when I turn it up myself? I think they’re looking more for a “variable volume” option rather than any actual audio engineering

Yeah I dont think they were saying it to be rude, even if it came out a little odd

Not sure what exactly you’re saying, many places were not allowing real estate agencies to do showings of houses during COVID, it wasn’t about wearing a mask or not you literally could not get an appointment to look at the house.

My guess is they meant you sound like a “default character” voice (I feel like that sounds negative but I don’t mean it that way). Like if you were to be the narrator for a menu, a random character, the main character’s friend etc, your voice wouldn’t be distracting or feel out of place. Maybe the voice of an audiobook or online language course or something?
