That’s largely what the pre release reviewers said, too. It’s light on RPG elements but feels like Dishonored. They didn’t say it was bad, just unexpected and a different kind of game than the first.

A great living is a bit of an interesting statement. Sex workers are often exploited and abused in their line of work and they usually can only do it for a certain number of years. It’s hard and dangerous work. It’s riskier work than being a police officer, by far, and I don’t think most make “a great living” off of it, due to the legal issues around it.

To save y’all a click, the organ came first, sometime in the 14th century, as a mix of the words for womb and egg. It wasn’t until the 16th century that we see the first recorded use of kidney bean, so the name of the bean references the shape of the organ.

Pretty sure they’re just pedophiles with a thesaurus.

The middle class is a fabrication. It’s an income bracket created by capitalism, not a true analysis of one’s association to the means of production and labor. It’s “real” in the sense that many people identify themselves to it, but it’s not real in a Marxist sense.

A vast majority of people in the middle class are the proletariat. Some of the people in the middle class are petite bourgeois.

Edit: I think your question is a good one, simply because so many people do see themselves as part of this Middle Class first before they think of themselves as workers or business owners, but I think that’s a sign of effective capitalist propaganda meant to distract the workers from their relationship to labor. The Middle Class largely is made up of people who need to be reeducated to understand that they are part of the proletariat and the bourgeois have been robbing them for centuries.

I don’t think that really holds up, looking at the state of things.

Based on the author, the bi pride flag pie chart, and the community logo, I thought this was post was about gay dating and, while a little baffling, I cordially invite you all to share my misinterpretation and think about telling your partner “I can’t heal you through walls”

On the whole it doesn’t sound like the worst idea and obviously you know your kid best.

But c’mon, you never hid stuff from your parents as a teenager?

What would you do if you were a 16 year old with their own apartment?

I think if you can rent an apartment for your kid, you can get a hotel room in which to bang your girlfriend.

My other bird tip, which some think is madness, is to put an herbed mayonnaise under the skin. It does a lot of the same things as butter, but adds a wonderful herb and seasoning component along with a touch of acid for great balance and is non-dairy (important for me). I find making a mayo for this purpose easier than making a compound butter as well.

There’s nary I bird I won’t spatch these days.

Looks absolutely delicious

The tajin and lime sound banging, miss me with the clam juice tho lmao

Is it just mixed with, like, V8? I tried that and didn’t care for it. It seemed like it muted the flavor of both the tomato juice and the beer. Should I be using pure tomato juice and not a blend like V8?

This post got me thinking, tho, how bout a boiler maker with applejack or apple brandy? I could see that working

I’ve never heard of mixing beer and apple juice. Beer and lemonade for a Shandy or radler, sure, but apple juice??

I know in Asia mixing beer with tomato juice is somewhat common, but apple? I dunno…

The “issue” seems moot to me, personally. Between the facts that no one is transitioning in order get an upper hand in the sports world and that there are plenty of documented incidents of cis women athletes being falsely flagged as trans women due to their high testosterone levels… I just don’t think it really matters. It isn’t like there are record breaking trans women dominating the sports world. This “issue” mostly feels like an overt attack on trans people in general than genuine concern over the alleged purity of sport.

The people spearheading these attacks on trans people aren’t interested in some nebulous notion of sports integrity, they simply want to further denigrate and attack an already maligned minority. They are concern trolling on a national scale and that I find deplorable and transparent.

I might be biased here, as I really couldn’t care less about some Olympic notion of athletic purity, the idea itself feels somewhat eugenic adjacent, but I also think the impact of accepting trans women in sports is ultimately very minimal on the sport world, but huge for the progress of trans rights, something that I think is very important, especially in this day and age.

Furthermore, I think people outside of the propagandists trying to make this into an issue who care about this idea of purity in sports are being taken advantage of by malicious actors (aforementioned propagandists) who do not care about sports purity, but do care about repressing a maligned minority.

Funny, but the reality is even darker. There are zero safeguards built into the program for these scenarios so it makes absolutely no correlation between the two topics, something even a self-styled, unlicensed “life coach” would easily do.

I think that’s a little cynical. I know a few people who work in psych, some in ER’s, and it’s becoming more common to hear people following advice they got via ChatGPT and harming themselves. One particularly egregious one was where the patient was using the program for therapy reasons then suddenly pivoted to asking what the highest buildings were locally, which, of course, the program answered.

I’m pretty sure there’s a vast market for human made art and literature. Personally, I would never pay for AI generated slop.

Yeah, you’re gonna lose in some markets like advertising copy and ad artwork. But who cares?

Especially in literature, AI slop is really disliked and honestly it’s quite shit.

Are there gonna be AI slop books in Amazon bookstores? Yeah. Will some people buy it? Yeah, unfortunately, but it’s not gonna take over the market.

Just keep at your passions, yo. AI gen shit like that is largely a fad propped up by LLM companies saying their models can do everything when they’re really actually not very capable or interesting.

Monogamy isn’t important to everyone.
