as alive as you need me to be

  • I mean... yeah... I guess it could have... you could have shot your own pc... as a stunt... to clout farm... on reddit... for... 0 monetary gain... at the loss of thousands of dollars of... pc hardware.

    Yep.

    That's... possible.

    I guess.

  • Why is that incredible?

    The shot hit a PC.

    After going through the walls of at least one house.

    Bullets lose a significant amount of velocity when they blow through or get deflected by various materials.

    After going some distance, then through a few walls, and then a gaming PC, it is totally possible that a bit of matress and/or pillow could take its remaining velocity down to zero, if it was basically a non rifle or lower velocity round, 9mm, .22lr, 380 acp, something like that.

    They also claim that the police are reconstructing the bullet trajectory here, and have supplied pics of the busted pc, and bullet.

    Not saying this all means its 100% verified totally true, but its definitely plausible.

    Looks like a banged up 9mm or 380 ACP to me, given this is a woman reporting this, and women generally have smaller hands than men. That slug is way too big to be a .22lr though.

  • RIP, random battlestation, you served the prime directive:

    For a gamer to game, they must actually be alive, above all else.

    May Theseus grant you new life.

  • Yes that's what I was referencing, how Bluesky is primarily populated by perma online shitlibs who are infinitely more interested in purity testing as a means of performatively establishing moral superiority, than in actually accomplishing anything useful.

  • ... and now for tumblr, wait I guess its called bluesky now, to have an exceptionally normal day.

  • You could use a local AI... that's only running on your computer... that's specifically trained on dumps of old cases and such...

    But I guess lawyers are not known for their tech savvy.

    Maybe you could say their heads are in the cloud.

  • Huh, I thought that's what the cat o' ninetails and fuzzy hand cuffs were for...

    =P

  • Oh those work as well, I just... I guess I just think of them as 'easy mode', compared to doing kegels and such + using your hands/mouth etc.

  • Yeah I don't know.

    Porn exists where no men are present.

    Vibrators... pretty common thing as well.

    I... yeah I don't know how anyone who has like, used the internet before, can somehow not understand how you don't need a dick for sex to happen.

  • That makes much more sense.

    Yeah, whole lot of other erogenous zones and spots, everyone is a bit different as to how sensitive they are to which ones and which combinations of them.

    I would have been extremely surprised if you were saying PIV got you to +10 orgasms, hence why I asked lol.

    When I'm with a woman, my rough rule of thumb is that she should have orgasmed at least once before my pants are even off. Lost art of foreplay, and all that.

    EDIT

    But yeah, very broadly speaking, at least in my own experience, if you can find a PIV position where the clitoris is either being directly sort of smooshed or rubbed by the guy's ... i guess just 'pubic region', or the position is such that a free hand can also 'massage' the clitoris... tends to work better for the lady.

    And also, there are specific erogenous zones in basically the rear of the vagina, anterior and posterior fornix, i think are the names? Some women have i guess you'd say 'high sensitivity' there, some have it at the gspot, some have it at both.

    You're right that for most women, those areas alone being stimulated isn't enough, but, for some, it is.

  • Damn! I've got to assume that that likely wasn't all PIV?

    Like, I've been able to keep uh, full mast going through a refractory period, a couple of times, but... yeah, its not easy.

    Usually gotta either give the little guy a bit of of break, use some other kind of stimulatory body part or tool... or basically find some position / situation where I'm effectively edging myself but getting her over the top.

  • As ... immensely ironic and basically ideologically cruel as it is, we should absolutely emulate this attitude, learn from them.

    They get starved and blockaded, we get flooded with hypereffective digital marketing, insane overproduction of single use garbage, horrendously overpriced cars full of more factory defects than a t34 from 1942, that is half illegal to repair on your own ... while almost no one makes anything built to last any more.

    Again, very ironic, but this actually results in a very similar situation for most normal people, at least once all the credit cards stop working.

  • ... I am quite sure they will call me 'some sort of crazy person'.

  • Ok so you're fine with paying money to Google.

    Got it, you willingly fund an immoral corporation that's on many different boycott lists of many different organizations, for many different reasons.

    Sure, ok then.

    I on the other hand value my moral nonhypocrisy more than you do.

    Guess we just have different preferences.

  • Thank you, but my writing ability, in this sort of way, is nothing in comparison to... Charlie Chaplin.

    To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish…

    I still cannot watch or even just read this without being moved to tears.

    We need a new story to believe, now that the 'American Dream' is so thoroughly broken.

    We need hope, placed in the right direction... in ourselves, and in each other.

  • Now this is unironically what I think of when the tiny, near-dead embers of patriotism in my soul get a whiff of oxygen.

    Great Depression 2.0 is here, what did we do back during the first one?

    Well, lotta people fuckin' starved and died, got terrible diseases, died before the age of 2, or in child birth, etc.

    But, we also formed co-ops. We took a random sad sack of broke and broken people, and their stuff, people with no proper wage work available to do, got em together and said 'anything useful you can do, for anybody else, is better than nothing'

    We talked to those people. We commiserated. We built solidarity with others, face to face.

    We fixed shit, we jerry-rigged shit, we made things that were completely broke into things that were only slightly broken.

    We took shotguns to local foreclosure auctions, and not so subtly implied to anyone other than someone who'd promised to just gift the home back to the homeowner, that the shotguns were loaded.

    Nowadays... call it recycling, upcycling, right to repair, what the fuck ever... stop wasting your money on stupid shit that won't last a year or even ever be used by you once.

    You don't know how expensive food or fuel is gonna be in a month, 3 months, etc. Could triple by next year, who knows.

    Build your life around trying to plan for that.

    You got a storage unit full of shit? A walk in closet full of stuff you ain't worn in a year?

    You don't need it.

    Somebody else probably could use it. Figure out how to find that person, and get it to them, with as few or at least as fair middlemen involved as possible. You get a fair price, or maybe even a haircut or week of babysitting, fuck, a pound of flour... they get some barely used clothes.

    Every random plot of possibly usable garden space, make it bloom. Fuck your yard of useless grass that literally is a traditional offshot of nobility having so much land they could show off making some of it not productive.

    HOA in the way? Learn their bylaws and just investigate them by way of malicious supercompliance. Chances are high they're doing some kind of money laundering or fraud.

    ... We've done this kinda shit before, our grandparents at least.

    Most people actually get joy and purpose not from accumulating wealth, but from feeling like they're actually some kind of important, in the service of others, in some kind of real and tangible way.

    The system has failed us, in every possible way..., it will eat us alive if we do not build our own.

    In the words of Adam Savage:

    "I reject your reality, and substitute my own".

    We do not have another choice.

  • Good attempt at a lesson, terrible actual chain of logic.

    The attempted lesson here is presumably that things require regular maintenance and attention, in order to keep working well, working as they have been.

    So... 'wash your bedding once a month, or after a spill or accident'... or ... 'clean your room once a week, so that it doesn't get so messy that you lose things or trip over stuff' ... or ... 'try your best to clean up dishes and cookware and put them away soon after you use them, so that the next time you need to use them, you can usually just assume they will be usable'.

    A made bed?

    I mean yeah, it can be useful as a simple routine for the sake of establishing any routine, or as regular mild excercise.

    But an actual bed that is unmade... being not tidy does not make it more liable to degrading over time, unless shit is literally strewn across the room.

    Or... unless you have some kind of very particular linens of something, where being crumpled will ruin their structural integrity...?

    I'm trying to be generous here, but I think this is just an aesthetic preference masquerading as somehow ... actually functional.

    Keeping your sheets and blankets clean, yeah that's functional.

    Keeping them super tidy?

    OCD pretending to not be OCD.

  • No, it wouldn't, just ask them to offer lower donation amounts/tiers, if the existing tiers are too high.

    This really would not be much harder than managing an RSS feed.

    If an adequate amount of money goes to doing the math to divide what would be donations equally, after Google's cut of course... then you are being lazy, and are fine with giving Google money.

    Would you give to a charity that had the same 'admin overhead' to 'actual money put to use' ratio as Google takes in their cut?

  • YouTube is also my main source of video entertainment.

    I am very poor, but if I wanted to help fund Youtubers, I would just donate to their patreons or ko-fis or directly purchase a channel membership to them specifically.

    You being lazy about how you support creatives you like is a choice, a choice that indicates your laziness is more valuable to you than you not giving Google money, so please don't lie to me when you say you hate giving Google money, you obviously don't.
