Long story. But basically I took a few of my friend's friends out on rented snowmobiles at night and we all shared a bottle of jägermeister. My friend was a 30 year old mother of two with a husband in jail for violating a restraining order she had on him. Her two friend had recently had a threesome with her. (I chose not to have sex with her months before despite her throwing herself at my 18 yo self). This resulted in them getting into an argument, and I decided we should all leave. On the way back, mistakes were made (the two stopped suddenly in the middle of the trail to argue and I overcorrected to avoid them) and she fell off and hit her head. The two dicks sped off leaving me alone in the woods with an unconscious woman, who's brain resorted to animalistic screams and flailing arms, holding her head/neck at an angle so she didn't stop breathing. Some time later we were found, then the cops and paramedics arrived. I was sober by then, so didn't go to jail. But she got life flighted half a state away and spent a month in the hospital.

I sort of changed my life after this. I don't really think of this as the moment it all changed. Rather it is other events (finding a belief in God and wanting to become a better person as a result) that precipitated those changes. But truth be told, I probably would have continued to go downhill if not for this incident. Typing that all out made me realize just how messed up my life was back then.

Policymakers must prepare for radical measures (debt defaults, capital controls) as the old system unravels.

Unfortunately our policy makers are all a mix of crooks, con men/women, and several people who are just plain stupid.

A very long time ago I was a stupid young man. I got a little drunk and ended up putting my friend into a coma for a week (on snowmobiles). That was the last drop I ever drank. It's been over 25 years, but I will never forget how invincible I felt, and how foolish that feeling feels every time I think back on it. Don't mess around with this shit. Like ever.

Shark Vertex. I landed in the AZ2002 a couple of years ago and it has worked extremely well for our home. Same carpet percentage, and we have a dog. Poodle, which has hair instead of fur, but we still end up with a lot of hair from regular grooming.

Is this just an end run advertisement?

Fairly common knowledge. Even portrayed in movies like Kuru and Seven Years in Tibet. Unfortunately the whole thing has been wrapped up in lots of misinformation. The Tibetans have both accused China of atrocities and claimed that they didn't happen. Outsiders looking in on this could argue that they were trying to appease the Chinese to maintain the paltry religious autonomy granted by the Seventeen Point Agreement. Here is a link to a PDF from the Tibetan Bureau in Geneva listing their atrocities. It is worth noting that even these claims are impossible to verify. The Chinese government has worked tirelessly to scrub the world knowledge base, and most search companies are more than willing to cooperate with such large governments with huge resources. Additionally, sensationalism is equally attractive, meaning it is easy and tempting to over report and exaggerate war crimes.

But the simple fact remains that May Zedong openly opposed religion and claimed that his annexation of Tibet was a "liberation" from what he called "religious oppression."

It's not even true. Like not even close. The Chinese liberation army forcing Tibetan children to murder their parents to "liberate" them from "religious oppression" is one example.

I got called to Minnesota to serve two years as an LDS missionary back in 2000. I absolutely loved the place. But my first day was I was stationed in Brainerd MN, and my apartment was on the edge of a frozen lake. I took a picture of it, and colored in the old brick BBQ to look like a wood chipper with feet sticking out of the top, and a large red stain across the ice, and sent it to my sister. That picture sat in her cubicle for years after that. I can't think of that scene without thinking of it.

Trying to switch over. I use them both, but the threats to reddit freedom and it's fast enshitification are the reasons I am currently using both.

Plus, the automod are out of control. I got a three day ban for quoting Clerks. (Try not to blow anyone on your way through the parking lot). I wasn't even being mean, it was all for laughs and got a lot of upvotes before some automod refered me to a prude of a moderator.

Haha. Not what I meant but I guess it works too.

There was a sci-fi book a while back where all humans were gone, and all that was left was a thriving android civilization expanding across the solar system. The main character was built on the base of a sex bot, and had the ability to set the speed of her hair growth, and color. At one point she gets tied to some tracks (a city on Mercury that traveled around the planet) to be eliminated (she was a spy) and ends up getting away by forcing her hair to grow at a rate so fast it came out weak and easy to tear. Super weird book, but I thought of it when I read the comment I was responding to. And yes, on/off was part of it.

Who the hell thought that anyone wouldn't download a pirated house? How out of touch do they need to be?!
