I too, ran across Bitcoin in the VERY early days, when it was pennies. I thought it was a scam and probably illegal, I mean “people can’t just set up their own currency, can they?” It didn’t help that I first found it when I was poking around in Tor, wondering what the “dark web” was all about.

For the past several months, in my neighborhood, there is a periodic very low frequency thumping sound. Imagine a chopper motorcycle idling, but lower frequency and very distant. It comes, lasts about 20 minutes, and then stops. I’ve only heard from one other person in the neighborhood who has noticed it.

Closing the windows does nothing because it’s such a low frequency. Also, because it’s a low frequency, it sounds the same whether inside or outside, and it’s impossible to figure out which direction it’s coming from. I usually miss it during the day, but at night, if I hear it I can’t get to sleep until it stops.

Oh, well then, I guess the asshole has spoken, so we all just fall in line.

The only thing nice I have to say about this shitstain is he’s temporarily sequestered a bit of carbon.

I’ve done anal, spanking, choking, ropes, outdoors, and age-play. I like spanking and ropes, but ropes take so much time, the other person gets bored. Anal is fine if they’re into it, but I can take it or leave it. I suppose part of the problem for me is I don’t think of any of it as “dirty” or forbidden.

On purpose? In a diaper? With people watching?

Me neither. But, there’s a difference I imagine.

I’ve been tearing out the carpet in my bedroom, in preparation for painting and a new floor. I’m slick with sweat, because it was 98F here today.

I know we shouldn’t, but someday we might make cat-sized pet elephants.

AI doesn’t actually understand anything. Nothing at all.

It’s never been about protecting children, that’s how it’s been sold to the people who aren’t paying attention. That always works, that or “terrorism”.

Prompt people to fear for their kids, or fear other people, and they can be manipulated. Fear and anger are much stronger than love and compassion, unfortunately.

If you haven’t been afraid of needles in the past, I see no reason… oh!

You have more than enough money to put a down payment on a mortgage for a house. Do it.

Don’t imagine that you should wait until you get married, get the house for yourself, because you’re right, it’s an important investment, and you’re just throwing your money away on rent. It’s surprising you haven’t bought a house yet.

Yes, you sound entitled. I was embarrassed that I had to borrow the down payment for my house from my dad, I never expected him to buy me a damn house, even though he could have just done so outright. I never felt “unloved”, quite the opposite. He raised me to stand on my own feet, and now that he’s gone, I’m grateful to him for doing so.

Having said all that, house prices are ridiculous right now, but are starting to crash in some markets, I’d wait no more than year to see what happens. Use that time to plan, instead of whining.

I got the email three days ago here in America, I didn’t look at it at the time. I dunno if Gmail can edit an email after I’ve received it, I suppose they can. Here’s how it rendered just now when I opened it. I’m not defending anything, I just wanted to show what I found::

Promo shots for 30-year-old sitcoms?

Everybody Love Raymond. This is Brad Garrett, he played Raymond’s brother, Robert Barone.

I dunno, they just didn’t like me.

Right, but if he’s geeking out, and I’m learning something, a couple of hours would be fine. Not that any doctor would spend that long on such a thing.

I dunno, man. I tried it when I was a kid and, like, I know it was wrong, but I just kept doing it. I mean EVERYONE was doing it.

It’s not slop. It’s a CT scan, which is why the shoulders don’t show. You can search how CT scanning works, if you want to learn something.

No chance they’ve slept in the same bedroom in more than ten years.

Boss would do the same, for some equally stupid question.
