In case anyone does not know: when a brand name becomes the generic term for a product or action, courts and trademark offices may determine the mark has become “genericized.” If that happens the owner may lose exclusive rights and the mark can enter the public domain.

See Zipper, Heroin, Escalator, Yo-Yo, etc.

So if you are anti-capitalist, you should photoshop with Gimp, google with duckduckgo and so on.

Thanks for the hint, I am gonna update my DNS to block the sites from the list as well.

That (in beginner size) was my first one from Neotori. That thing unlocked something in me and now I have an evergrowing collection and a machine (and another Finn in size M).

Anyone can get it: NSFW

appreciating the nonsense :)

And now they also make soft caramel filled with other things like cookies, berries and brownies. And the berry ones are quite nice

Lol at that price tag. A .com domain is ~10$ a year and mail routing is free with many providers. So if I’d see that on a CV I would have a laugh and know the candidate has weird priorities for their money.

Yeah, absolutely possible that a part are steam deck users. Especially since steam decks are usually hooked up to nice big TV screens.

Not really. Most likely they just check Browser User Agent, VPN should be unable to touch that.

Oh, I think I’ve seen a comic which depicted what happened next. (something something fruit salad🍆🍑)

Yeah, it was really cool, asynchronous free-for-all multiplayer with an online board an all.

But instead of paying with money, you would pay with time. Usually you’d rack up time because you obviously pay your time to other players. But if they got freed their properties were emptied as well and could thus be claimed by you - which of course also cost time. So at that point you’d then move as less as possible.

Of course there were some edge cases, where the lockup could last a bit longer, e.g. if you land in jail during property claiming phase or someone steals your properties with event cards and such.

Damn, I wanted to link to a Chastopoly (for those who want to extend their mandatory October timeout), but I just learned it got discontinued a couple months ago.

Yeah. I needed someone to point that out for me as well. That apparently was too tight. Funny enough I went full circle with it. When I measured for my first CherryKeeper and it basically told me I should use a wide variant. And my brain went “No, that can’t be right, I don’t have a wide dick.” … and thus I wore too small cages and had obvious issues with it for 2,5 years… until the K3D support pointed that out and basically suggested a cage similiar to the one I got from my measurements. Oops - but now my brain can accept that (but my wallet very much don’t).

Yep, pretty much the same for me. If I want a fitting cage I have to get wide versions which means either custom ones like CK or expensive ones like K3D. And then there is the usual trial&error on top of it. Where others get along fine with 15$ steel cages from Aliexpress, I probably spent 50x as much (and am still not super happy with it).

There is more?

While i like this sentiment, I’d feel like a bad caricature of who I want to be. Just thinking about it makes me uneasy, tbh.

(Impostor syndrome, maybe? Not sure how to healthily overcome this. When I had that for my proffession I basically burnt out due to the amount of tasks I took on and the meager results and not great feedback I got. Basically had a mental breakdown for about 6 months before I felt okay-ish again. Sure, it cured my impostor syndrome by giving me a [healthy?] dose of apathy and I am willing to fight for my standpoints now and can shrug it off better if someone disagrees without feeling like a fraud. But that is definitely a road I do not want to take again.)

I may have the right (and the wish)… but certainly not the body.

Nautilus is okay, but I still prefer Smeeta Kavats for that juicy buffs.

Or being offended by “Body 1/Body 2”. Something most will literally see for less than 30 seconds in character creation.

The search on e621 works fine👍
