To add to this, there’s the cost trade. To use one of these 0days as a resource means the result needs to be equal to or more than the cost of using this. If it cost my opponent $3 to cause a problem, and it costs me $6 to fix it, my opponent effectively profited off of that exchange. I can’t think of a single journalist since Watergate that could cost the government enough money to be worth paying for this kind of removal when it’s far cheaper to have them murdered let them die peacefully in their sleep from bullet inhalation. Not to mention that it shows their hand if they so it publicly and makes future targets harder to hit.

You and I will never be worth the kind of money that currently takes, but if they get an official back door installed the cost goes down so far that it would literally never be a loss.

4&5. I already have the perfect partner so 1 is out. Body swap loses that partner, so 8 is out. Everything else here is just free money with extra steps and my disdain for paying for things isn’t so great that I’d limit my options to avoid actually seeing the bill. 20mil initial investments and 30k monthly income while the rest goes to more investments.

Now, that’s 360,000 personal and 11,640,000 investment annually. With this money being obtained presumably through magic, I would not need to dedicate time to making it. With the allotted free time, I would purchase or establish an independent bank to store my income as well as a small investing firm to manage my wealth. They would be personally vetted, paid handsomely, and I would dedicate time to accommodate their needs and engage with them. They’re not my servants, they’re literally the people making this work.

With this established, I would first buy up large swaths of the entertainment industry in rural areas across the US. Bowling allies, movie theatres, pools, gyms, things like that as well as at least one advertising and PR firm. These become socialized. Free access for anyone under 20, memberships are income based sliding scales. Employees are paid fair marker value. I will also broker deals with aldi to begin putting stores in every population bigger than 2k. These ventures are subsidized by my own magic money and dividends from my investments.

After effectively white washing my image with philanthropy for the first 5 years, I will retain a retinue of private mercinaries recruited from military and paramilitary bodies based on their commitment to my cause and picked for a complex mix of loyalty and willingness to do awful things for a good reason. Through a combination of bribery lobbying and the liberal application of men with violence, I will begin to curate government policy. Incentivizing the nationalization of businesses too big to fail, utilities, and infrastructural maintenance needs. Using my network of entertainment venues I will away public opinion in the support of this and candidates I approve of through the application of advertising and psychological warfare techniques.

At year 10, I will begin orchestrating the removal of the wealthy elite. Most live lavish and reckless lifestyles and accidents happen. The key point here is that you can’t buy a billionaire but you can buy their dealer and I’m sure he’s not getting paid as much as my bowling alley attendants make. With the pool of competing interests dwindling, I will return to step 1 and continue my efforts to effectively make fun free.

And this is why I’m not allowed to have money.

I was just thinking, this is not the first image like this I’ve seen and I’d really like to know the context I’m missing.

Works for me my dude! I use the same username on every platform, hit me up on stoat, @tuta.com for email, or discord until March 1st.

Hey if you’re interested in trying stoat then matrix, playing Minecraft, or building a secret organization with the key tenants of “be a good person and be weird and silly” you should hit me up! I’m literally looking for friends.

You know what, I’ll bite.

I’m honestly pretty bummed out. With the recent changes to Discord I’ve decided enough is enough and I’m dropping it. Unfortunately my entire social life is currently on discord as life and distance make it hard to meet up. When I broached making a group somewhere else, the general consensus was that keeping in touch or potentially gaming together wasn’t enough to be worth it. One of my oldest friends it’s also dropping discord but will not be joining another platform with me. We’d been distant since I got married and this very much feels like his effort to officially cut ties.

So here I am, in my early 30’s and again facing the disillusion of my social circle. Something I’ve gone through on 4 previous occasions and each time it gets harder to start new because more people have either already established their group or committed to not having one.

I really want to be part of a community, but where am I supposed to meet people with interests like mine when the baseline for people into niche hobbies, diy, secret societies, goblincore, and all my other interests is that they’re cronically anti-social and only care to exist online?

I’d totally be the guy maintaining the group matrix, hosting our streaming server, putting out weekly news letters, getting people together to play magic in weird venues, scouting out hole in the wall restaurants. I live for things like that but what’s the point of it if the only friend I have is my spouse who I can just talk to when I do the thing? You can’t play a curated cards against humanity set or custom fallout themed catan with two people.

How do you make friends?

It would be if it weren’t for the edit, that almost makes it funny.

I could not for the life of me get wabbajack to work, but I did get steam tinker launcher to work out of the box and used nexus to put together asking related to LotDB

Not always, but frequently. Depending on how sticky I get.

Honestly it’s worth it if you’re down for mods. It felt like an insult when it came out, it was like call of duty wearing morrowind’s skin, but since then it’s become a pretty robust modding community and Legacy of the Dragonborn is miles above anything in the base game.

You know, honestly I’m not mad. This is still better that every other post being a guerilla marketing ploy. Makes me long for the internet of 2006.

While I suggest changing them regularly, I have a different reasoning behind sheets and towels. I shower when I get up and frequently before bed if I feel icky or my spouse invites me. So frequency of sheets goes down because anything it transfers gets washed off in the shower. The towel is used after the shower so anything it transfers lasts all day. That said, after the move in I adopted my spouse’s routine which is much more lax and changes towels every few days. On one hand I now have to track towel wash cycles consciously, on the other hand I’m not doing 3 times the towels so it equals out.

Though now that you have me thinking about it, I would absolutely change sheets daily if it were easier to do so…

As far as the class has taught, experts can’t conclude shit. Some people believe society is a complex machine that will naturally correct errors like crime. Some have decided that society as a whole exists as a means for the select few to oppress the major. Others state that society naturally self governs until it exceeds a critical mass and then must be split with each new form remaining in solitude from one another. Even still some attest that society is simply a consensus value and a need for governance only stems from the problems caused bypeople not getting on board with the culturally accepted ideal.

As someone who has lived in apartments for most of my adult life, there are two easy fixes for this. If your place has a maintenance guy, hunt him down and either ask him to come by and do exactly this, or if it’d be fine for you to do it yourself. Most maintenance guys are just cool stoners who can fix things and they’ll give 0 fucks if you want to fix something for them so long as you don’t fuck up and have to call him to fix it.

If you have a land Lord, it’s almost exactly the same. Call them, tell them you have an issue you need them to fix, then off hand mention how you’d just do it yourself and explain how before saying you wouldn’t want to get in trouble for messing with their property. Again, most land lords will take you up on it and just let you.

If you have a corperate or bank land Lord, do it anyways and if anyone asks down the road just say it was like that when you got here. They’re too beaurocratic to actually notice or care.

I have near crippling ADHD and prior to moving in with my spouse, my kitchen looked like this, as well as my towels, sheets, cleaners, and spice rack. Having everything ordered took away the mental load, 8 identical towels is one load a week on Sunday plus a spare if something interrupts the schedule. I never had to consider a sensory issue because they’re all the exact same towel. Same for dishes, all my cups held the same amount and felt the same in hand. All my plates and bowls were identical so I couldn’t have a preferred one. All of them were dishwashers safe and dishwasher design friendly so I never needed to consider if they needed special treatment.

Taking away that thing to think about made a huge difference in clarity of mind because I could then use that energy for other things.

What you want to do is get a box of deck screws, a cheap drill, and a stud finder. Find the stud behind the cabinets, then put the deck screw through the top and bottom board at a 45° angle from the outside through the cabinet, into the stud. That will put about 6cm of screw to anchor through both the frame and back of the cabinet. Only way it’s comming down is if the wall does.

While you’re at it, replace the screws holding your door to the wall with them too, the normal screws for a door hinge are 1.5cm max, this will allow your door to sag as well as allow it to be easily knocked down. Replacing them with deck screws makes that far less likely.

I think there’s room to wiggle on the mugs. I have a matching set for daily use and an unmatched collection stored separately for special occasional. I will never get rid of my penis pink German skull and crossbone mug, but I also prefer the consistency in volume of my matching set for chai in the morning.

I’m currently in a sociology class for the first time and I get a kick out of the idea that humans are so convoluted that we have a field of study about how society works and despite being able to document basically everything we still can’t figure out simple things like this.

That feels like a weak argument, revenge porn is a crime, so is illustrated csam. A quick check of why someone thinks either of those should be allowed would either lead to their greater understanding of the topic or the realization that they’re not qualified to make these decisions.

Extreme fetishes could be a hard topic. Needles and blood play skeeve me the hell out, but the flow chart goes “all parties consent and enjoy -> does not incriminate host-> allowed to exist.” So it isn’t up to my skeeves to yuck someone’s yum.
