all labor is prostitution

Pleased to meet you, comrade.

Prostitution is a very hard job.

You better be quiet before you summon the bears.

Is an actor paid for their labour? No. They are paid to emote, so that it can be commodified and sold for profit. Human emotion for sale. It’s prostitution.

Acting is emotional prostitution at best, and actual prostitution at worst. If you aren’t comfortable with that, then don’t get in a relationship with an actor. No point burning your relationship down later because you suddenly don’t like the context of that prostitution.

Jonah Hill really is a piece of shit. I’m glad my gut instinct was to fall into a bottomless pit of cringe every time he appears on screen. I could never stand that fat little toad.

Evidence of one beer, wasted? Whatever GladiusB.

You’ve been too sober for too long and it has affected your judgement. Which one will it be, sport? Moonface, Grandma or the skeletal ghost of benedict cumbersnatch?

Also hotter than all her friends. Marriage is a mug’s game anyway.

God damn, this comment slaps.

I can ignore a lot of things if the game still feels good: microtransactions being jammed down my throat I can ignore as long as they are not pay to win. Game modes that don’t interest me, I can ignore (they even give you the option to uninstall JUST warzone if you don’t play it).

The saga of COD’s super aggressive SBMM and active manipulation of the result of 1v1 encounters over the last 12 months I cannot abide. Dropped frames in the middle of a close quarters battle whilst their algorithm decides which player should come out on top to maintain engagement? Nope! If this is the direction that play is headed they are beyond redemption.

Myself and many others are out here hungering for an arcade shooter that rewards player skill and movement mastery. It’s only a matter of time until someone gets that formula right and takes a huge chunk out of the COD franchise.

Xdefiant, The Finals, Unrecord, Marathon are all possibilities, but you can’t play any of them right now.

It’s a bloody sad year for gaming imo - I prefer to play online multiplayer but since I got bored of BF 2042 and swore off of COD altogether, I am spending my time playing some of the great single player games from the last couple of years instead.

It’s a bummer that there’s nothing comparable as competition that actually has a playerbase.

There’s a few on the horizon but as of right now it’s a wasteland.

I strongly advocate for the revival of thou! Thou shalt yield.

In a past life I took a bunch of physiology and advanced physiology courses at uni, as well as epidemiology/ population health focused courses and worked with a lot of people on their overall health and fitness. There are so many good reasons to make time for cardio. Ignoring calories for a minute, it has an overwhelmingly positive effect on mental health and wellbeing as well as significantly reducing disability adjusted life years, maintaining balance and strength into old age and reducing the risk and severity of falls as well as a host of cardiovascular diseases.

Heavy cardio also has a startlingly fast positive impact on the visual appearance of your body even in caloric balance, which can go a long way towards keeping you motivated with any dietary changes you may be making.

Having said all that, I find that for those who are just starting their fitness/weight loss journey cardio exercise can set off an absolute rocket of hunger that can potentially undo a lot of good work. I know for me, that hunger after a really hard run can far outweigh the calories I have just burned on that run.

For sedentary individuals just coming to the table, I had way more success in terms of both results and adherence by using programs where the cardio component kicked off with fast paced walking or hill walking for many months before trying to introduce running, swimming or other forms of higher intensity exercise. All of this backed up by a solid resistance training program.

Once you are starting to see concerete progress towards your goals with something as easy as WALKING and a few weights multiple times per week it’s way easier to stay on track once the hunger kicks in after your first few runs.

The battle is real.

Newsgroups are bloody horrific unless you are picking things up the very second that they’re released.

Everything gets DMCA takedown strikes extremely quickly and goes missing. You might get lucky and put it together with repair files etc but I have all but given up on it. You need a lightning fast connection and radarr/ sonarr set up to grab things you MIGHT be interested in automatically or it’s a total wash.

This. Make the bastards chase you.

I bought this monstrosity and I have been ridiculously happy with all aspects apart from its HDR functionality.

The KVM switch works really well. GSync and Freesynch both work well. It’s far easier to drive this resolution than I thought it would be.

Great value given the features and size.

I think there’s other factors.

I worked for 12 hours today. When I came home and browsed ALL, it was exactly same posts as there was this morning. That’s a problem for getting return visits. I have resolved to take some of the energy I spend on comments and dedicate it back to posts.

It’s pretty funny that the expectation on any man who picks up a guitar these days is not that he has a decent voice to go with, it’s that his political ideology is “correct” and cohesive and that he makes sure to convey the entire thing in a 4 minute song.

The people getting their knickers in twist over this song are lost.

I’m doing my part to ensure I die at a respectably young age by my own hand, yes.
