That’s so cool! I’m going to read up on that after dinner. Are the game it’s in worth playing or is it going to supporting a shit company?

I’m not sure which one of you I agree with. I think both kind of. I’d like for there to be a way for a small investor or team to get their feet under them and build a successful business but I also think it’s naive to think that’s what ever happens, usually it’s giant companies submitting endless unused patents or buying them to add to their closet of unused patents.

I’ve seen so many cool innovative products people have come up with just to have them swiped at scale by China. I always try to buy the more expensive original when I notice. I’m not upset at China or trying to throw shade either but it’s got to really suck to be those folks that go through all the work to design something build everything up and within a week of sales see clones hitting Amazon and being pushed over yours by the algorithms.

I think in general I just hate everything about how things are and feel like original inventors, designers, and creators should have a protected incentive to come up with the cool stuff they come up with.

Oh that sounds really cool. I liked how Zelda got more difficult monsters as you killed more.

Are we not saying “as black as nigger’s” again? I thought that kind of stuff was back on the menu. I’m getting tired of having to restrict my bigotry. How am I supposed to keep up with who I’m better than if it keeps changing like this.

I guess I was blissfully ignorant that anyone would think a stripper has romantic interest outside of very edge cases. The guy I met through my ex that was dating her friend (stripper), he was surprised when she asked him to take her out on a date.

I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I dated a stripper for a couple years. We met outside the club but anyway, her and several of her friends seemed to like the clientele for the most part. The majority of guys were respectful, clean, and tipped well. The men they mentioned hating were the ones who tried to be aggressive, rude, smelled, or otherwise unclean which seemed to be a small minority of customers and the bouncer wouldn’t let obvious problem customers in. One of her friends was even dating a guy that had been a regular that she got to know at the club. I’m fairly certain they were all employed as independent contractors and they all looked out for each other in addition to security staff. My experience is second hand and anecdotal but I was surprised reading the meme and seeing the response to your post, I was unaware that it was broadly believed strippers didn’t like their clients, I thought strippers actually seemed to like their clients more than most other professions. Doubt any of it can be proven with any factual basis either way so probably a pointless debate and varies wildly at different clubs.

That’s factually not true though. Side loading was a term used before Google was even a company and before devices had internet access or peripherals/accessories to directly connect media other than plugging into your computer. Before devices had internet and you had to plug them into your computer to transfer files and install non-stock software. They would just say unauthorized or unofficial software if side loading wasn’t a term. It’s not like they need that term to exist for their shit behavior.

No shit? Them and every other country with resources does the same. They even send vendors and HUMINT collectors to all sorts of conferences all year round trying to pass off devices and keep tabs on trends. Collecting in their home country is just expected. The weak links are the idiots that don’t take it seriously, sneak a personal device on a trip that they lose sight of at any point or even just become too close in proximity to a collector and then carry it back home with an exploited device and credentials.

You really don’t get the appeal or you just feel differently? I don’t like roller coasters but my reasoning doesn’t include me not getting the appeal others have for them.

How would I even communicate or connect with a worm about anything? That makes no sense.

This link is showing me how to increase the power of a small engine in a go cart. I’m still gonna watch it but it’s not what I was expecting.

I’m fairly certain I read they can also withstand a direct blast from fairly sizable munitions, like state actor missile size.

I miss my old four cylinder Tacoma sometimes but my mini van is so much more practical. I have a trailer and hitch when I need to haul something I don’t want in the van. I looked at Tacomas again a few years ago and was floored at how big they were, I swear they are the size the full size tundras used to be.

Predictable that someone that thinks typing like a moron is going to confuse AI doesn’t have the mental depth or attention to digest a 500 word article.

I’m sorry you had to go through that, hopefully all of Epstein’s associates eventually have to face justice for the things that they did.

Anything that comes out is in spite of him or in direct support of him and his connections to Israel.
