One is a 6 month travel vacation, the other is 5 hours of boredom in cramped space. And before that comes waiting for the flight, stress with boarding, TSA, jet lag,…

And you are supposed to ignore all that and work normally the next day. Or perhaps on the same day, or even on the flight.

How do you contact a twink delivery guy? Asking for a friend.

Trick question: it fully depends on weather the gun is loaded or not.

Some definitively are. A lot of closeted gay homophobes try to hide their feelings by being the loudes opposition.

I wonder what was the trigger for that…

Like: “Look at those women for the medical trial! They are all straight 10s, we have to get to the bottom of this!” or “My ex got this and she was ugly as hell. I wonder if that is the reason”

Ah, that explains a lot: the name is cursed

And why is that? Perhaps because productivity rises while salaries stagnated? Because the 1% bleed the rest dry? Because all laws and tax codes are written for the wealthy?

No, it’s because of immigrants (somehow)! /s

UwU :-P >_< Ü

I didn’t mean a specific state, I just wanted to imply that terrorists backed by a state - with the money and connections that encompasses - would have the means to do this.

I currently don’t see any state that would wish to cripple the internet. That would hurt indiscriminately.

Perhaps in the future, before a planned attack, to sow chaos. So China or Russia perhaps.

Perhaps North Korea, but I don’t think they have the power or knowledge to do something like that and China would get mad.

In case someone misinterpreted the meme: these are all single points of failure that can take down large parts of the internet.

If a rouge state manages to take down any of these for a more then trivial amount of time, we would suffer enormous amount of financial damage

It’s not that expensive if you use them as slave labor and ignore their human rights… Well, still expensive for the tax payers, but who cares for those peasants? /s

Dude, 1k/week is “I don’t have to work anymore” money

I’m neither trans, nor would I look good in that (fat, old, bald, hairy, ugly man), but for that amount of money I’d do it. It’s just clothes, who cares?

WTF is fairness cream? It better not be what I think it is, because I won’t put my thing in there!

And how did no one think about a fallback in case of a outage? I bet some of the tech people thought about it and management said: “No, we don’t want the consumers to have a functioning unit without internet access. We need the data!”.

Btw. same with the new Windows 11 setup. There’s no technical reason for a computer without internet access to deny the installation.

A lot of historical figures get mentioned by contemporary writing of that period- the more important that person is the more information can generally be found. Yet Jesus who, even if you ignore the miracles, should have been an important spiritual leader wasn’t mentioned.

There is next to no evidence of Jesus Christ unless you count Christian sources, which have a bit of a bias.

The Romans for example were big on book keeping, yet no mention of Jesus can be found.

The existence of Jesus is possible, but far from certain - of course that’s something Christians don’t like to hear and the Christian church actively fights.

Well, it’s even quiet possible that the sculptor used his own hand as a model… And why not? Is it really a problem if the statue has man-hands?

It’s supposed to be a symbol not a penthouse model!

Yeah, a friend of mine did something similar to me once. Called me ugly in a roundabout way. I don’t think she even noticed. I can’t even blame her - it’s true after all. Still hurts.

Congratulations, it’s a goth!
