Yes, in the NSFW version she is forced to drink RAW MILK instead of WHOLE MILK.

Well met, sir!

Challenge accepted!

The Steam deck is pretty cool because it is just a really nice handheld PC that lets me (or, more typically, my wife) play everything in my very extensive Steam library.

Sadly, all we can afford is some ICE.

Thank you, but I figured it out after the first “Woosh” reply.

Oh, shoot… please don’t tell the cops that I bypassed my breathalyzer so that I could comment on the Internet in the morning without being drunk on coffee first!!!

Wait… why is he complaining about the “woke gay agenda” when the top app in that list is Grindr?

In fairness, the swastika was important to Hinduism long before Nazi Germany started using it, and one could argue that Indians should not feel that they need to give the symbol up just because some Europeans misused it.

On the other hand, do you think this would be giving them too much benefit of the doubt? Hindu nationalism seems to be pretty scary, after all.

It makes me sad that we have reached a point where the very randomness that makes these kinds of stories charming (to someone with a twisted sense of humor like myself) also make them less likely to be coming from a human instead of more.

I had forgotten how big of a deal it was at the time! Thank you for the reminder.

Post-script: This piece is not intended to criticize or judge anyone involved. Who among us hasn’t, at some point, mistaken a party balloon for a cartel drone? Let him cast the first stone.

That is so cool! Thank you for sharing this. 🙂

In addition, they gave us the Statue of Liberty.

A French politician actually called for it to be returned—to be clear, it was just a single politician, not the whole government—and the Trump administration said (very heavily paraphrasing), “No, it’s ours, and also you suck for being invaded by Germany, so we deserve it more than you.” However, I personally find it ironic that the administration is so attached to it, given the famous poem inscribed on its base that is inseparable from the signifiance of the statue:

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Now I am too busy being distracted by terrible salad dressings to notice that I am pure awareness without attribute. 😟

I hate vinegar.

It is worth noting that this paper was submitted in October of 2024, so it predates the current administration.

Your ego is constantly distracting you with the illusion of the dream of the world in order to prevent you from noticing that you are not a separate self with a particular identity but pure awareness without attribute.

I had already made essentially this point earlier in another comment the day before in this post. The only way in which I have changed my position since then is that I now take the thought experiment a little more seriously as a thought experiment, rather than it merely being a useful vehicle for women to express how unsafe men make them collectively feel.

Perhaps you might consider that you yourself should put a little more thought into your posts, rather than making poor assumptions about other people.

That is an excellent point that I had not considered—it might actually be more efficient to make use of the heat in your food to heat your home than to pump it outside!
