Honestly the Punk Goes Pop albums have taught me that some of her songs translate super well to heavier styles

Blank Space - I Prevail

I Knew You Were Trouble - We Came As Romans

You Belong With Me - For All Those Sleeping

I Don’t Wanna Live Forever - Ice Nine Kills

Also honerable mention, Ice Nine Kill’s cover of Animals by Maroon 5 is brilliant and also does a good job of making fun of how weird the original music video is

So I think there’s 2 parts to this, one is different people are different but the other is that when masterbating one might not be quite as erect as with a partner

With a strong enough erection (such as when having sex, aka what you’d see in porn) cut and uncut look the same. The difference only shows itself with a semi or when soft

It’s only invalid of you don’t let it be valid!

The tiny little technical college I attended that’s almost entirely ag programs had something like 30 IPv4 IPs assigned to the IT program and I don’t want to know how many assigned to the IT department.

Literally every single student got an IPv4 address for the second year to play with in the lab. It was great but also holy crap we need to find an appropriate way to repurpose a portion of college IP blocks

I thought for too long it was “assigned cop at birth” when I first started seeing ACAB pop up all over the internet

The cert expired 3 years ago

There’s a super interesting post trending on Mastadon right now regarding BlackSky, which is a project setting up an independent and federated Bluesky service including their own custom relay server. So while yes Bluesky is effectively centralized, it is at least technically possible with enough effort to federate and access it from decentralized servers

I mean, when 100 cars crash into buildings every day across the US, its going to be a pretty high number of crashes they’ve reported to in any municipality

So babies are actually wired to look for the areolas for feeding, it’s part of why during pregnancy the areolas grow and darken, it makes them really easy for the baby to spot with their still developing eyes so they know where to aim for before crashing their face in to feed (it’s really funny when they miss btw)

Realistically any distribution will meet your list of requirements. All supported distros are brilliant for security and privacy (well, except for (Red Star OS)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Star_OS], but I’m sure that wasn’t on your short list anyways) there’s packages for Steam on basically every distro, and flatpaks make it easy to install other launchers on most distros too. Most desktop environments have a Mac-inspired preset as well

I’d say start with either Linux Mint for more general computing (it’s based on Ubuntu but excludes some of Canonical’s less popular changes to Ubuntu and ships with a more sane desktop environment) or Bazzite is the new hotness giving a very steamdeck-like experience with dedicated gaming mode or desktop mode. Their site appears to currently be experiencing some SSL issues though

I feel like that should be a line from Archer (sneakily referencing real CIA actions of course)

Yeah it’ll be bad, but realistically it’ll be like every other major economic calamity. Your accounts lose a ton of value very rapidly, but as long as the money keeps going in (or as long as you have a small enough withdrawal rate if you’re already retired) ultimately it’ll eventually bounce back and then some in the recovery, because when stocks are down that’s the time to pile more money in (buy low sell high)

Honestly the AI bubble is going to take the entire stock market with it. Over a quarter of the S&P 500 (an index of the 500 and something most valuable companies on the US Stock Market) is made up of tech companies directly investing in the AI bubble, and most individuals and funds these days invest into indexes rather than individual stocks so when a single overvalued market sector making up over a quarter of the market loses most of its value, every stock portfolio is going to lose a shitload of value.

Before having a boy I was leaning towards preferring not to circumcise purely because it seems wild to take a new born baby that basically can’t take any medications and is so vulnerable for the first few weeks, but we will do a cosmetic surgery. Then I started learning more about the surgery and the effects and risks and it became a “hell no!”

GOD FORBID MEN HAVE HOBBIES

I’ve also heard theories that its related to lots of “golden hour” photos but ultimately (and this is one of the significant problems with machine learning) the specific cause is unknowable due to the nature of the software

Yeah I’ve seen so much AI slop with the yellow tinge. It’s kinda hilarious that we’re watching AI model collapse in real time but the bubble keeps growing

There’s an additional hypothesis that a lot of the violence in the 60s and 70s was also driven by people who grew up in broken homes with unhappy marriages that couldn’t be ended
