An atmospheric CO2 level of 280ppm

How can we tell them “it gets better” when this is what they’re being given?

They talk about preventing the mutilation of children while giving them unimaginable scars. People of my age were at least able to see things get better for queer people, the young ones today have only known this backsliding.

Fuck.

Damn, even them too…

Holy shit, I haven’t bought eggs in about 6 months and had no idea it got this bad. Local farmers with small operations tend to sell for much cheaper than supermarket prices under normal conditions, it would be interesting to see what they’re charging at farmers markets and roadside stands at the moment.

Oooooh like the musician, not the forum software internet thing… that makes way more sense, gotcha!

Paraphrasing an article about google changing their motto away from “don’t be evil” to something else: “It would be kind of weird and a little scary if your coworker had a sign that said ‘I will not kill anyone today’. Now imagine how it would feel to walk into the office and notice he had taken it down.”

The removal of the diversity window dressing feels menacing like that. Another poster suggested it could be a means of preventing a future shitshow and that tracks too. But even if there isn’t malicious intent the sudden tidal shift away from even pretending to care is a little bit spooky.

The reactionary nature of nostalgia aside…

Making electronics with transparent parts is good because it is a reversal of this phenomenon where the mechanical nature of devices is obfuscated from the consumer. A modern smartphone is designed as though it was ashamed to be a machine, a black box with a screen on one side and a camera on the other. While these do not explain themselves to the user they are open as to what they are, a collection of circutboards and switches and wires arranged in a way that serves a purpose. They are something created with intention, rather than having been produced out of nothing.

That being said, transparent plastics tend to be less durable than their opaque counterparts, which definitely contributed to the end of the trend.

Seems like everything was chosen as a gimmick

Thats just how Kel-Tec operates as a company, they produce wierd designs that are centered around gimmicks like “it folds in half!” and “you have to use stripper clips!” and “its a shotgun with two seperate tubes!”. Its really surprising that the company is as sucessful as it is given how niche all of their products are. The internal magazine makes some sense if the goal is to cut down on weight and manufacturing complexity, it requires fewer parts and less material that way. 5.7 was probably chosen for capacity and how Kel-Tec seems to be on a 5.7 kick lately with their pistol that takes P-90 magazines that they released a few years back. I’m pretty sure this is going to be something that people buy to take out to the range a couple times a year, if at all.

If anyone came back to check for an answer to this, there kind of isn’t one.

A very professional and dedicated man answered my call to the state department for clarification on the new policies and he said this: “We don’t know and we don’t know when we will know. Follow your gut and do what you think is right, the worst that can happen is that the application gets rejected”

Sec. 6. Bill Text. Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs shall present to the President proposed bill text to codify the definitions in this order.

Sec. 7. Agency Implementation and Reporting. (a) Within 120 days of the date of this order, each agency head shall submit an update on implementation of this order to the President, through the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. That update shall address:

(i) changes to agency documents, including regulations, guidance, forms, and communications, made to comply with this order; and

(ii) agency-imposed requirements on federally funded entities, including contractors, to achieve the policy of this order.

Does this mean I still have time to apply for a passport or am I fucked? All of my other identifying documents are in order.

I would like to ask if they have any good jokes that no one outside of the DPRK would get.

Does anyone know what is in the gift bags?

oh hell, a couple more

Karmacoda - Love Will Turn Your Head Around Lovespirals Mix Not at all any of the genres you asked for but its a subdued kind of thirsty, female vocals, a little submissive/bottomy too? that might be subjective.

Sinners Kitchen - John C, Thomas Penton, Marcie There are like six gazillion different mixes of this but I like this one best.

Oh fuck yeah, this is like one of my favorite flavors of music.

Addendum as I wrap this post up: I didn’t realize you were looking for more bottom music than top music but hey maybe youll like some of these anyways? I certainly conflated “thirsty” with just horny or erotic too. Welp.

Hyperpop

Cafe Racer - Rebecca Black feat. LVL1 and DAGR Yes, that very same Rebecca Black, she does some incredible music right now. Shes also crazy hot.

Yoga - Only Fire feat. Brooke Candy Eveything by Only Fire is a little bit very much tongue in cheek.

Brooke Candy - Flip Phone

COBRAH - GOOD PUSS and SUCK Someone else mentioned this in the thread already, but here they are again lol.

Accelerated Funk (a minimalist edm subgenre that tends to have hypersexual and repetitive lyrics. It is also known as ghettotech, however DJ Assault finds that term demeaning and because hes the GOAT I defer to his judgement)

DJ Assault - Sex On The Beach and Dick By The Pound DJ Assault is a GOAT, hes got like four decades of music and tours internationally to this day. His lyrics vary from horny to silly to genuinely heartfelt, a hidden gem honestly.

DJ Slugo - Back da Fuck Up

EDM

ZHU - Faded This was in like every high effort PMV/HMV from like 2015 to 2018. It references driving under the influence so if anyone needs a CW on that.

Mellefresh and Deadmau5 - Hey Baby I think everyone has heard this, it sounds fucking amazing on a good soundsystem.

Midnight Caller - Mozey feat. Shady Novelle and Dynamite MC This one is really cute honestly, fun to sing along to.

Not only is it normal, but as some other posters have mentioned, it is a good habit to be in. This may be a hot take but people should also look at their toilet paper after wiping and at their poop before flushing.

Crispix/Corn Chex with hot sauce added to the milk. Its savory and spicy and creamy and nice.

Thank you friend!

Frankly, my research into circumcision as an HIV prevention measure was a while ago and I took UNAIDS on their word for it. I believe this counts as talking out my ass and I apologize for that. Being corrected on this is something of a relief since it means one of the arguments in favor of circumcision being disproven.

I would love to read the research you mentioned.

It’s still pretty common over there, around 60%-55% of AMAB babies are circumcised. Aside from cosmetic and cultural factors, a lot of people get sold on the idea that it has benefits to hygene and overall health outcomes. These aren’t good reasons of course, and the boons it provides are mostly marginal, not enough to justify inflicting that on an infant.

That being said, there is significant evidence that circumcision lowers the probability of HIV transmission and as such it may be beneficial for adults to undergo the procedure voluntarily in regions with high infection rates.
