Compared to some dark romance? Sure. I mean, very, very few things will top the femur scene in I Will Break You (the trigger warnings specifying “inappropriate use of thigh bone” were NOT joking), so compared, indeed tame.
But for your average non-smut reader, there’s a lot of emphasis on… milking.
Though still not as full of smut as e.g. Kiss Of The Basilisk. Which is like, 98% pure porn.
Not really a liability. A friend. Fake his death, put him away in a different country where he won’t be recognised, add some basic plastic surgery, a beard, long hair, and bam you just got away with decades of crime.
Resolution has little to do with blurriness.
I can grab a 200MP sensor with the best lens systems and autofocus algorithms, and you’ll still take blurry pictures.
Shutter speed, steady hands, and the relative radial movement speed of the object compared to the camera is what matters.
Now, imagine this: you’re a tourist, with an average phone. Say, an iPhone 16 Pro Max. You spot a guy that looks like Epstein, from across the road or even a plaza. He’s walking away so you have seconds to: pull your phone out, open the camera, zoom in, focus on the face and take photos. How will those photos turn out?
I mean you can literally try this yourself by going out into public and replicating the circumstances. Target must be at least 20-30 meters away, and you’re starting from a resting position (not phone in hand, camera open, ready to shoot, that’s not life-like). Unless you’re a pro photographer… those photos will turn out blurry.
porn is risk-free reward
for the watcher, sure, but for the actors?
also don’t underestimate porn addiction. people can spend thousands of dollars on such addictions.
No, actually. Spoiled here refers to the edibility by humans (aka the bacteria and toxic waste of said bacteria is below safe levels), and it’s no longer living tissue given the animal has been killed and butchered.
An overwhelming amount of booktok/bookstagram (and their mentally challenged brother, bookbook, close relative of Moon Moon) is very much in love with e.g. Morning Glory Milking Farm.
WARNING: Look that book up at your own peril. You’ve been warned.
And that also makes him the greatest artist.
I mean consider this… using nothing but the concrete walls of the Führerbunker as canvas, his own grey matter as paint, and his trusty sidearm as a brush, he created the most impactful painting of humanity.
This is the one case where I’d say fuck the “the parent’s crimes aren’t the responsibility of their children” and confiscate all the ill-earned money these fucks hoarded to compensate the victims.
I don’t give a fuck if Ivanka goes destitute, if Don Jr can’t fuel his coke habit, and so on, they were part of his crime organisation, they helped the orange twat cover up his child raping and murdering, they can pay for it too.
At that point, why bother with the setup of samba shares and nextcloud or syncthing or whatever else and not use VaultWarden with its built in sync over WireGuard/TailScale?
So, absolutely no difference in security compared to having a properly secured self-hosted VaultWarden instance. Gotcha.
How do you recommend people sync between devices? What about devices that, for security reasons, do not allow flash drives or any external device to be plugged in?
So, I’ve been sick for the past two weeks. Flu-like shit but it took me down like nothing else, even worse than the time I had COVID. For this period of time, since I’m very much NOT a mouth breather, I’ve been waking up 3 to 8 times a night feeling like I’m suffocating, because my nose gets so clogged up overnight.
I truly wish that Homan experience this ever single night until his death. To wake up every hour, and for long minutes sit there in the belief that this is the end, that he drew his last breath, to be afraid of even going to sleep…
Yep, as a bi guy, I can attest to the efficiency of gay hookup/sex life culture in general.
As a man, you’ll have two very different experiences if you go to a dedicated straight hookup app vs, say, Grindr or Sniffies.
With women, it is a whole process of ensuring that both of you are looking for the other, even if it’s a one night stand. Physical attraction, being charming, non-threatening, tons of requirements. At one point I missed my chance with a girl because she liked being read poetry to after a hookup, and I was apparently reading the wrong poets at the time.
With men? Even if you catfish them, 7-8 out of 10 will still have sex with you. You can literally post 10 year old pics, be 50-70kg heavier and still not a problem - meanwhile I had women call me out for using a roughly year and half old pic, and since I’ve lost weight and shaved off my beard, I looked slightly different…
With apps like Grindr you can quite literally find a sex partner in 5 to 10 minutes. Start a few chats, send the appropriate pictures, agree on a time and who’s bringing what, and you’re good to go.
True but we’re talking about dating apps meant for the general public, not a hookup/ONS/poly dating app.
At that quality of MP3 you’d really need either a track that specifically pushes the limits of the codec on technicalities, or a one in a million hearing + high precision monitors.
Albeit FLAC is generally a better option still because it compresses things losslessly, reducing raw file size 50-70% (comparable to MP3 at 128kbps bitrate) and is a royalty-free, meaning it can be freely implemented as a hardware codec.
For example, a bunch of microcontrollers in the ESP32 family have built in FLAC codecs that outperform their MP3 counterparts, meaning a FLAC library can be directly streamed to them, and with the right DAC combo, one can build inexpensive, low power adapters to hook their existing AV systems up to Sonos-style streaming. And with many AV systems supporting bidirectional RS232 (or other serial) communications for controlling the system and querying it’s state, you can literally smartify them completely AND provide high quality audio streams to them.
There was a “Golden Age” period of dating apps (that actually coincided much with the same “golden age” of many other services including streaming), where making money wasn’t the goal, and the services actually served their official goal - pairing up people.
Problem is, any kind of dating app is self-detrimental for revenue, because if they serve that official goal, they’re essentially nixing their own customer base. Because what’s the point of a dating app? To find a person you can date, therefore you wouldn’t need a dating app anymore. If it works as advertised, users spend bare minimum time on the platform before achieving their goals and leaving it.
This simply means that a dating platform is only viable in three scenarios:
Most dating apps fall into the second category, and in fact if you do just a moment’s research you’ll notice that some 80-90% of the highest traffic (or most known) dating apps are under a single company. Yep, there’s a literal dating apps monopoly going on that snuffs out competition, or buys them up and shuts them down, and so on.
In fact… I’m a mobile app engineer, and I’ve actually ended up applying to a few dating app startups. The one common denominator between these was not that they wanted to do something new, or wanted to engage people differently than the rest… no. It was that all of these companies were specifically made with a niche idea in mind with the sole purpose of creating a minimum viable product that catches the interest of this dating monopoly and buys the company out. Yup. My job would’ve been “make our company sellable”. You can imagine how inspiring that is, especially when there’s no offer of equity on the table…
I’d much prefer to see the US split up into separate states, then form a union much like the EU instead of the monolithic eldritch crap they have right now.
Oh, it will most certainly be used to maintain an up to date facial information database that can then be used by authorities who’ve already started facial recognition camera systems all over London (“for now”, only linked to criminal facial databases but obviously the goal is to gather as much data as possible in the near future).
Resist and find other ways to do the thing… which is literally what kids do.
Do you want your kids to be on Roblox with your knowledge and occasional oversight, or without your knowledge at all, without any parental control?
