  • Aren’t they the same substance used in the white part of the peel below the delicious zest? Though I might be thinking about clementines and the white stringy bits that run from top to bottom along the centre. Been a while since I had a proper orange but don’t they have even more of that white stuff?

    I think the membrane that surrounds the little juice packets is also bitter, if you separate it from the good parts.



  • Quiznos had amazing quality when they first opened but it dropped when they tried to compete with the subway $5 footlong deal. They should have differentiated themselves as the premium sandwich brand because while subway is pretty good, Quiznos early on was a whole other level. Me and my housemate at the time used to go there and order 2 subs, one for now and one for later (that often worked out to be right after the first one was done, in practice).

    There were some locations that stayed open around here for a like a decade after, but it was always disappointing going there. They were still better than subway but only marginally.

    I like Firehouse Subs these days. Not quite as good as Quiznos at its peak, but closer to that than Subway (which was always better than Mr Sub).


  • Yeah, that’s the frustrating part of the sex worker morality debate. While it can be argued that a decent portion of sex workers don’t really want to be doing it, their motivation is the same as the rest of us and sex work is the best option they see for surviving, either because they genuinely like it better than other options or because they don’t see other options (though the ones who are forced into it are a different story, though the laws against sex work make things even harder for them rather than protecting them).


  • Yeah, some OF models clearly automate posting ad videos because there will be a video that has a caption and tags that have nothing to do with the content. Probably AI-based, though it might even just be a simple script that randomly picks from a list of captions and tags.

    Makes me wonder if that’s even effective. Like are the thirst traps there because the women desperately want to gain traction and think that’s how, or are they there because it is an effective way of gaining traction? Because for me personally, it’s more of a turn off or at best neutral if I’m really attracted to her.


  • IMO it’s more about the vibe than whether porn is their main source of income.

    Is she really horny or just acting?

    If she’s really horny, then it just comes down to whether or not I find her physically attractive, which is partially based on looks and partially based on how she physically displays her personality.

    If she isn’t really horny, someone acting like they are horny when they aren’t is personally a turn off. Things like moaning as if she’s about to orgasm while just giving a blowjob, random ahego face, thirst trap captions… Enough of those and it doesn’t matter how hot I find her otherwise.

    Professional porn tends to be more of the latter. Once the novelty wears off and it goes from “I’m getting paid to fuck!” to “I just gotta have sex to get paid”, it loses that sense of genuineness.




  • And the fundamental weaknesses, like the disconnect between the game world you’re playing in and the physical world your body needs to play from. You can still run into things in the physical world and pass through things in the virtual world. No physical touch interaction at all from the VR world back to ours, other than vibrations. Still limited by gravity as well as the input devices being used. Can’t really experience non-human shaped things. Hell, even driving around in a vehicle, something VR is relatively good at, isn’t the same because you don’t feel the acceleration and g-forces.

    Games like beat saber are the only ones it’s strong at, though I’m sure I’ve done many cuts that would have taken my arm or fatally wounded my legs.
