So I’m gonna go looking once I hit “post”, but anyone got any links to specific cams?

Edit: I found https://www.openoceans.org/web-cams

To many people nowadays, the actual job itself doesn’t matter, it’s the fact that it’s a job and it pays.

Joke’s on you I’m going to send this to my wife knowing fully well that she’s going to want garlic bread.

Homemade Alfredo, here we come!

I’ve summoned a demon, AND been to MULTIPLE hells.

LPT: don’t summon a demon if you aren’t certain you can control it.

Imagine if you had one of the greatest piano players in history offering to play you something, and you ask him to play the opening bars of “Heart and Soul”, three times in a row.

Yes, they could do it, and do it perfectly… But why would they want to do that when Claire De Lune or Für Elise exist. And yes, those are still fairly basic in the grand scheme of things but heart and soul is boring AF.

That’s the point.

Set the bar low, but just high enough that tons of people still trip over it.

Sit back and enjoy the comment wars.

The people who are confident but wrong are too proud to admit they were wrong even if they realize it, and comment angrily.

The people who are right and know why, comment for corrections and some to show off how S-M-R-T they are.

The people who are wrong but willing to accept that just have their realization and probably don’t think about it again. So do the people who don’t know and/or care.

But those first two groups will keep the post going in both shares and comments, because “look at all these wrong people”

It’s all designed to boost engagement.

The Game (which you just lost)

goddamn it I just lost the game…

And if you pay for Premium you get all features and zero ads

Oh hey, me too, except I would never pay for premium. I just don’t use the official front-end.

You know, it’s always funny when sci-fi shows have doctors that refer to current year medical practices as “barbaric” or “Savage”, but honestly looking back just 50 years? Same feeling.

200 years ago, the local “doctor” will probably tell you to take a swig of the bottle he just dumped on your wound, because he’s gotta saw it off. Hopefully they at least washed it since it’s last use.

200 years from now? Eh. Doc will wave a light over it, you’ll be fine.

An idle population has time to ponder why their lives are shit.

Gotta keep them working, tired, and focused on bullshit like gender definitions, or they might start getting uppity.

Because men outclass women in almost any physical ability

I have never heard this argument come out of someone who doesn’t look like a wet noodle could outclass them in physical ability. It’s always a keyboard warrior who hasn’t cooked a meal since the Kraft Mac he made in 9th grade when his parents left him alone one evening and wouldn’t know what the inside of a gym looks like if it weren’t in GTA.

Motherfucker, I knew plenty of cis women who could easily out-class me in physical abilities and I was in the US military

The only people who care what’s in the pants of the enlisted person beside them are pieces of shit who don’t deserve to be there. Focus on your fucking job, and stop fantasizing about their crotch.

Not once did I ever wonder what a person was assigned at birth while I was in. They wouldn’t be there if they couldn’t physically do it.

Nobody is lowering qualifications of military personnel because the individual is trans.

As shitty as things like this are, at least they’re self identifying who needs to be in the Guillotine line.

Just set him on fire here, no need to launch a rocket with all the pollution that will create.

End result is extra crispy lunatic either way.

No, surely he must mean set on fire.

“FTC personnel want bribes and to give the government time to kill the rule so they don’t have to do anything difficult right now”

New headline.

Honestly there’s no legitimate reason to delay this unless you’re stalling for something.

The big one of endgame is Tony Stark commits the single worst crime in the history of the universe by “un-snapping” the half of the universe that was snapped by Thanos 5 years after they disappeared. No accounting for all the people who are dead in the meantime, no accounting for all the awkward conversations of “oh for me I just blinked and now you have two kids and a new wife” or “who are you people and why are you in my house where am I supposed to live now” all because he lacks the imagination to make the universe go back 5 years while keeping Pepper and his daughter the same.

Oh and

. That’s probably more important to most people.

That’s how I felt about infinity war and endgame.

I decided not to watch after finding out it was a 2 parter, then after endgame came out I still hadn’t watched it after a good year and a half.

Then someone spoiled the ending out of nowhere in a post and I decided I’d finally watch it.

I’m impressed you’ve gone this long.

It was a stereo from 1987.

Ye Olde Analog airwaves, no fancy digital nonsense.

I tested this with my Facebook app in 2013. Found a Spanish radio station, set my phone down next to it overnight, and for several weeks I was seeing ads exclusively in Spanish. Deleted the app the first day I saw them in Spanish, and deleted my account not long after that.

My wife still uses them after 5 years together and me pointing out all the times it’s obviously eavesdropping on us, and she’s even been creeped out by it before. Still uses it…

Unless my microphone and camera have physical switches, I will assume they are being used. Those little “your camera and microphone are off” icons in the corner of the screen don’t reassure me.

It’s trashCAN
