Using the internet without an ad blocker is like fucking every sex worker in Vegas without a condom.

Practice safe internet.

If you can’t make your own Oxytocin, store-bought is fine.

Because your body will burn calories warming them back up.

It makes a lot of sense.

If you can incorporate sales and advertising into your product in a very seamless and addictive way, then people will use your free app for its entertainment value and make you money.

In addition to what everyone else is saying, a really good reason not to have energy drinks on a soda fountain, aside from the fact that the energy drink soda would cost far more than a regular soda, is that energy drinks contain a lot of caffeine and if they were on dispenser some idiot would go and fill up a 64 Oz energy drink and drink the equivalent to 5 to 8 Red bulls in a single sitting.

No gas station wants to deal with the legal ramifications of “exploding people’s hearts because they are too stupid to understand that these things can be deadly”, because if people are dumb enough to chug Red Bull until they die they are also dumb enough to sue because of the deaths.

I have a loops account but I have not been able to upload a video in over a month, it fails on every single attempt.

No.

Everyone has their own opinion about it but I don’t think that there is any eternal consequence to it.

It’s just a really shitty thing that people have to go through sometimes, either shitty that they prevent the child from being born and then have to live with their own guilt about it, or shitty that they let the child be born regardless of their feelings and then have to deal with the consequences.

It’s a bad roll of the die anyway you look at it

I think it was Alan Dean Foster who said (paraphrased) that time travel is impossible not because time travel is impossible but because there’s a certain point where all of the time traveling that can be done will have been done.

The only downside is that you never know if you’re on the final loop or not, so everything you do may be the most important thing you will ever do, or it may not matter at all.

For me it’s not so much that the price increased. It’s that what you get for the money vanished.

I’d pay $40 a month to have a modern version of the Netflix that existed back in 2013.

Now if you want to have that you’ve got to have netflix, hulu, HBO Max, Showtime, peacock, and 15 other services and spend $35,400 a month for all of them and it’s just not worth the money, time, and hassle.

If they really wanted to make money off of this, they should have made it so that you can connect multiples together. That way your anime vtuber harem could interact with each other.

Fuck, if y’all got this kind of money hire my ass and I’ll make it happen.

I’ve played both but every copy of mouse trap I’ve ever had either didn’t work or worked very shittily. Massive disappointment all the way around

I’m pretty good.

Worst case my family finds out I’ve been talking shit about them behind their back, but they’re all a bunch of fuckers except for my brother and even he’s kind of iffy.

Other than a couple of questionable porn likes I don’t really have anything I would be embarrassed to have publicly known about myself.

Amazon has become really bad.

Amazon is like that Stoner Uncle that says shit like, “just trust me bro, you need the DKAIRBGAUENBSHDBDJS 17-IN-ONE BACK MASSAGER TAX CALCULATOR LEFT SIDE ONLY LETTER OPENER CAT FOOD DISPENSER!”

And instead of providing said Uncle with powerful psychotropic medications and 24-7 supervision we made him into a multi-trillionaire.

I think Amazon didn’t care, so even if someone inside the company figured it out Amazon was just like, it’s not our problem to deal with.

I can see how it happens though.

No one was doing any oversight on their practices. If you were running a referral affiliate link system, it must have seemed like honey was doing a really good job bringing customers to you.

I’m just kind of disappointed that nobody inside the company ever spoke up or blew any whistles and said “Hey, this is at best unethical if not entirely illegal and either way exposes us to the risk of a massive lawsuit, maybe we should just actually do our jobs instead of stealing the work of other people.”

We would just replace hate with something else.

“I love you so much that I’m stabbing you with this sword so that you are spiritually preserved at your current status for all of eternity”, something like that.

You do realize they’re going to ask you for a demonstration of your power before they’ll ever kowtow

Yeah that’s generally the face people make when I tell them about this but it’s only recently all locked together in my head in such a way where I can express it coherently.

I still rambled quite a bit but yeah basically my family’s fucked up

My mother is racist also, but she’s that like woke racist, the kind that believes that they’re not racist but then also assumes that any time they have to work with people of color that the people of color are “ganging up on her” when there is a disagreement, so much so that she quits several good profitable nursing jobs where she was the boss of people of color because of her own mental conception that her subordinates were against her.

Now that I think about it there is a chance that they were against her once they all realized that she was racist, idk.

The kind of person who say they don’t hate black people but won’t vote for a black president. She thinks that because she dated and married and a native American and gave birth to a native American child that exempts her from racism just like trashy white girls do when they date black guys and thinks that gives them the n-word card.

Okay. Sorry for rambling so much just apparently I had a lot on my plate and it’s a new year and it’s time to leave the past in the past so thank you for perusing my trauma dump.

I hope your next year is as much better than the last year as it possibly can be.

And always remember, no matter how fucked up your family is, when you become an adult you have the right to leave them in the past where they belong.

My uncle has no children of his own because the woman he married cheated on him multiple times and got pregnant with multiple other men’s children and he never divorced her he never walked away he just assumed and has lived his entire life accepting and expecting the women that he loves and care about to cheat on him with other men and to never give him a child.

My brother got away from the family by joining the military which gave him structure and joining the church which gave him support and encouragement and he married a pretty decent woman who unfortunately is not psychologically equipped to comprehend the machinations of a cabal of sociopathic women, so she has no idea why she doesn’t like my mother or my sister and why she cannot get along with them.

So yeah, I understand what it means to grow up in a crazy family. Not a cult, not a bunch of racist although my grandmother and grandfather were so racist that since my mother had the audacity to marry outside of her race and have me, a native American brown child, they reduced it to microaggressions like my grandfather never allowed me to enter into the main floor of his house. He told my mom it was because he was afraid I would steal from him but he let my older brother and younger sister who were blonde haired and blue-eyed white kids wander around freely.

He once relayed the story about how he got invited to a KKK meeting and he thought they were a bunch of swell guys and possibly misunderstood, and him being a child who was born on millionaires row in New York in the 1930s, I looked up his address from the census at that time and the house that he grew up and doesn’t exist anymore but the street that he grew up on the least expensive house available as of right now is 18 million dollars.

My mom has childhood memories of going to their house in New York and like the fucking Addams family having rooms where there were just filled with gold coins and jewelry and she would be allowed to take a piece home with her from time to time.

But, he was a greedy stingy bastard who wouldn’t work to save his life. Mom has fond memories of Christmases being things like them getting cans of vegetables out of the pantry because my grandmother and my grandfather forgot to buy them Christmas gifts but they of course bought themselves Christmas gifts like mink stoles and new cars and fun vacations that they took without the kids, leaving them to fend for themselves.
