  • I found the OP and their post got deleted, but the only comments she responded to were the supportive ones (maybe 1 or 2 out of dozens of "wtf is wrong with you" reactions).

    The poster has a history dating back 2 years so I don't think it's a troll, or if it is it's convincing. I just can't believe anyone would actually want to name their kid fucking Blessica. Absolutely revolting name.

  • Netflix has closed its AAA gaming studio
  • For those saying they didn't know about this, it's because they never actually released anything. They got shut down unexpectedly before they finished any projects. Allegedly there are still some in-development games based on Netflix properties that will still be released on their gaming service, and the service itself will stay up. It's just the studio itself that was shut down.

  • My brother in law does this. Gets so close that you can't see the rear tires of the car ahead, going 80+ mph. He's been in multiple wrecks, including one where he totaled his custom BMW and almost died. He blamed the other driver (somewhat reasonably, they were drunk, but he was driving like a psycho), and refuses to change any of his driving habits.

    He also used to street race in Florida, with his family in the car. No, they did not consent to it, they're just too scared of him to say anything.

  • Far left intellectualism
  • No, it's pretty uncontroversial that imperialism was one of the goals of Israel as a project, even from its founding.

    Edit: This is getting downvoted a bit so let me evidence this.

    After WW1 the League of Nations formalized British control over Palestine. This mandate facilitated Jewish immigration and settlement, which furthered Britain's interests in the area and improved their relations with Jewish communities. The establishment of Israel led to significant displacement and conflict for the Palestinian Arab population, which was largely ignored by Western powers at the time.

    In other words, Britain exerted their power over a foreign nation through expansionism, which is the literal dictionary definition of imperialism.

    So yes, imperialism unquestionably played a role in the establishment of Israel. Whether that was a convenient by-product or a driving motivator is a matter of perspective, but it's foolish to say it didn't play a part.

  • Anon gets a pizza
  • Something similar happened to me. When I was walking home from high school I found a quarter on the ground. I was craving potato salad so I went to a deli and asked them for a quarter's worth of it (they sold by weight). The guy at the counter looked really pensive and then was like "you know what, take it for free". He definitely thought I was a homeless teenager. I lived a block away and had for over a decade, and I went there all the time. Super awkward.

  • What's your favorite CLI utility to screw around with?

    I'm procrastinating at work and installing random packages with CLI that are just fun to mess with. Recently I've been looking up all my co-workers with Sherlock, just for fun. Does anyone else have CLI stuff that they like to screw with when they're bored?

    [OC] 4-min shot at Muskallonge Park

    I took this at Muskallonge State Park in Michigan. It's the only place within a few hundred miles of my house that's Bortle class 1, meaning zero light pollution. It was fantastic and I absolutely want to go back sometime.

    Sex work would probably be less stigmatized in a currencyless society

    Thinking about this because of a greentext I saw earlier complaining about OF models.

    It feels like a lot of the stigma surrounding sex work in the modern day (that doesn't just boil down to misogyny/gender norms/religion) is based on the fact that selling intimate aspects of one's self places a set value on something that many see as sacred; something that shouldn't have monetary value.

    Not to say anything about the economic validity of a society without currency, but I think that, hypothetically, if that were to exist, sex work would be less stigmatized since this would no longer be a factor. Those engaged in sex work would be more likely to be seen as doing it because it's something they are good at/enjoy, and less because it's an "easy" way to make money, as some think. It would also eliminate the fear of placing set value on social, non sex-work related intimacy (not that those fears were well-founded to begin with).
