Men have nipples too ( T _ T )

Where the nipple bros at.

This is the only reference I can find to said connection anywhere, so I’d put this squarely in the rumor category. Further, none of the names in Mambo No. 5 match the names any of Clinton’s accusers, only Monica.

Tuning out Monica

Lyrics turned out to be a problem in choosing the convention theme song. Convention producers had selected Lou Bega’s “Mambo No. 5” because it was up-tempo and popular, like “The Macarena,” the Democrats’ convention theme in 1996.

But the chorus of “Mambo No. 5” refers to a girl named Monica.

Convention planners initially thought they could just rewrite the lyric, but late on the eve of the convention, they re-thought the whole idea.

“That’s out now,” said Wheeler, whose orchestra rehearsed the song. “That will not be played at all.”

Convention producers are now looking for another song - one just as catchy, but without a catch - that will rally the party faithful, inspire the crowd and get the campaign off on the right note.

20 years age you were 13, now you are 33, which is the same age as Stu Pickles (pictured front row, left column) in the original Rugrats. The original first season run of Rugrats was 35 years ago, so you’re also younger than the show itself.

“So uh I have this idea for a cartoon or something. Um, it’s like there’s these fucked up kids…”

“Uh huh”

“…and like through the power of, of…”

“…understanding.”

“Oh yeah it can totally be understanding or like forgiveness or something umm they like overcome all their fears, and then they turn out totally fine…”

I wish this was just a cartoon so I could be like:
“This is real as fuck, I love the way they don’t give up!”
Tweet about it:
“More stories like this! So important!”

But it really happened OH GOD IT REALLY HAPPENED. WHAT THE FUCK.

I’d tell my family to save the money and just bury me in a mass grave, especially if I had been drafted into that fucking war.

Gee I hope he doesn’t jack off

I’m not saying words really loudly in my head while getting coffee. I just read the plots as I normally do, and make coffee as I normally do. It feels like magic.

Hey guy it probably feels like magic because you’re completely overselling where we’re at in terms of this kind of technology and we definitely aren’t anywhere close to an AI casually reading our casual thoughts and doing research based on them.

Further, yes, yikes, this is very fucking dystopian when you consider the AIs this is meant to interface with are corporate owned, meaning corporations will have ownership over your thoughts. You don’t think they’re going to let you retains rights once a copy of is it in their servers? At the very least they will give themselves certain rights over the copy of your thoughts, and you may not even be able to easily access a copy yourself. It just feels insane to even consider to freely give my thoughts as data up to a private company.

What would this mean for someone who has issues with intrusive thoughts? Would the AI report them to authorities as a danger to themselves or others because of their thoughts? Intrusive thoughts they cannot control or stop?

Will it report you to HR because you had some mildly dirty thoughts about an attractive coworker? It just seems like such a massive risk because humans are much less in control of their thoughts than we think.

Unrelated, I like that “glitch” is a yiddish word and makes me think of an old jewish guy kvetching about his “glitching” computer.

Is this a… cat? a… dog? a catdog???

holy amorphous blob

Damn and I thought this was gonna be about people realizing French Onion Soup is bomb as fuck and onion soup soaked bread is way better than garlic bread alone. The enlightened love the onion.

I mean, I’d daresay the gaming community has a large community dedicated to both accessibility and preservation, they’re just generally frowned upon because it’s, you know, piracy. However, only through piracy can I get an original release copy of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 for PlayStation, Dreamcast and Windows. You can only get re-releases, remakes, and the like, often which do not hold up to the original in terms of style and control.

People act like these businesses haven’t done the math already. They did the math and people who think like we do are in such an extreme minority that even if every single physical game user boycotts entirely, they’ll still be making more money than they were before. It’s why mobile games embraced chasing whales at the cost of the quality of experience for the casual player. Fortnite was going to be an actual paid game beyond it’s current implementation, but that got dropped entirely for the free-to-play pay-for-skins cash-cow it became. If it’s profitable, they don’t give a damn if it sucks for most people.

We are in a stage of capitalism in which all available markets are saturated, and now to continue increasing profits year on year the only way to make that happen is to cater to wealthier customers who can afford the price increase that offsets the loss of the poorer customers.

I’m not even near the fires and I’ve been cooped up inside for days because the AQI is insanely bad all over the state.

The fact that the US has turned literally everything into something you can gamble on really shows how much of a failure of a society the US truly is.

The social contract has been dead for 50 years and yet people younger than fifty still out there acting like nothings wrong, and all you need to do is “get a better job” and everything will be fine.

Man I’m not sure getting a better job is gonna help me escape climate change exacerbated wildfires, nor the gambling markets that incentivize arson.

Is this what it feels like to chew 5 gum?

I fight my demons head on thank you very much. Seems quiet selfish to release them to torture the world. I am resistant to heat and freeze damage, I can take it.

Those indeed can be fun but be aware they’re almost assuredly doing facial recognition on their users, and the whole system works by always retrieving the files themselves from a remote server, I’m fairly sure they don’t even cache on your phone (I could be wrong there, though). It’s really up to you if you think it’s all fun enough and worth having fun socializing with your friends with the risk of lack of privacy in that respect. Maybe you can keep it to a minimum of anything important being talked about? Unless you have a major reason to worry about being targeted, most people can probably safely dip in just for a handful of throwaway conversations with friends.

Sorry other folk don’t read modern slang.

I didn’t even have to pull this dusty old meme out for you to tell me.
