The whole point of the Sword of Damocles was that the threat was always looming and Damocles didn’t know when it might fall. We know exactly when Microsoft says they are going to drop support. There’s a decent chance that they’ll push that date back due to slow adoption at least once.

This is more about rats not fleeing the sinking ship until the sea has reached the bow.

Sometimes I don’t put the cart in the corral…

I take it back into the store because it’s closer than the nearest corral. Or I take my bags out before I go into the parking lot and leave the cart in the lobby cart storage.

Uh huh. What’s the D/s version of “Sappho and her friend”?

No, don’t use the sexy meme template for this change. It’s just a dumb dick measuring move. It doesn’t deserve that honor.

It’s a far cry from this guy’s situation, but I think I had five or six bitcoin back when I was mining in the early days. I cashed out when they were maybe $40-50 each towards a new GPU.

Sure, I could go nuts thinking about what I would do with the money now, but if I hadn’t sold at that rate, I probably would have sold at $100, or $200, or…

There’s no way in hell I would have had the discipline to “hodl” to this point, so I just get on with my life.

NC is way more purple than you realize. The GOP has just gotten away with too much gerrymandering and voter suppression to show it in our politics.

And Garner is in Wake County, one of the bluest in the state. If it will happen anywhere in the state, this is probably the best bet.

Can’t comment on the rest, but the NC gubernatorial race is pretty obvious. The GOP nominated an anti-trans blowhard who turned out to also be crooked, perverted, racist, and pro-slavery. He was trailing in the polls before the CNN piece about him.

The GOP basically set out to find just how low they could go with a candidate and finally found the bar. Black Nazis are apparently that bar.

I’m sure the This you? meme is going to get plenty of play through the next administration.

I don’t think you realize how little would have to change for you to not be born. There were millions of sperm cells churning in your daddy’s balls. Millions of alternate instruction sets to contribute to one half of a whole person. A two-minute delay, a sneeze, the thermostat being off by a single degree could have led to the birth of a completely different person.

Bold of you to assume winter fans are outside.

Yeah, I bought mine in 2019 back when Musk just seemed like a dorky edgelord. I’m definitely not going to buy a new car just because Tesla’s CEO is a tool, though when I AM ready, it’s certainly not going to be another Tesla.

Okay, as someone who has been to a number of kink events, I’ll ask, what would you consider sexual? I’ve seen people go heavy into sub space with zero genital stimulation. The subs I see generally play naked, but it’s more about the psychological aspect of being exposed/removing barriers rather than tittilation.

Whether those subs would argue their experience was sexual or not? I think that really depends on the sub.

Those state races were the only solace I could find on election night. The GOP candidate for AG was the guy who wrote the bathroom bill that caused so much pain and pushback years ago. I was sure he would try to take a page out of Ken Paxton’s playbook and politicize the fuck out of his office.

I’m sorry that the redistricting sent Jeff Jackson (the state AG-elect) home from US Congress, but he’ll do a ton of good in his new role just from not being Dan Bishop.

Or how to identify misinformation when you’ve got two or more rival nations flooding their feeds with bullshit

Is Pedro Pascal generally pretty jacked? I remember him looking buff for Game of Thrones and he’s probably getting into Marvel fit for the F4 movie, but it seems like he leans more towards trim or dad bod, depending on the role. I’m thinking of Last of Us or maybe the second Kingsman movie.

Man, I wish that was the case at places I worked at. My last company would give you stipends for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Try to spend that stipend at a convenience store because you don’t eat breakfast and just want some coffee and a snack for later? Screw you, we’re deducting from your paycheck for that.

I had a coworker who got caught on the wrong side of that policy. Since then, he’d always max out his stipend at every meal. Apps, desserts, etc. He’d get a second entree just to take back to his hotel as long as it wouldn’t put him over the limit.

He probably cost the company hundreds extra because they wouldn’t reimburse him for a bag of chips one time.

Good catch. I was drunk when I wrote that comment on my phone. Either I misread the release date or I mistyped it.

Meh, the best way to play RDR was back in May 2014 2010 on an Xbox 360.

Remake RDR1 in the sequel’s engine you lazy bastards.

You beat me to it, because I was looking for evidence to support the dick pics thing. I can’t find any source I would be comfortable vouching for. Just a grain of salt there.

Dunno about TN, but in NC, a Weapon of Mass Destruction is a legal term referring to anything designed to harm more than one person simultaneously.

This led, for example, to a local headline about a man holding up a bank with a WMD because he used a sawn-off shotgun.
