Would consider watching GAI video of the epic final battle between OO and HH... OO made it to 76 vs 71 for HH so even in death he is victorious (he wins on points!). Wonder whether heavy metal drugs (including alcohol) + lifestyle are less deleterious on average (at least to longevity) than "professional wrestling" PEDs (including alcohol) + lifestyle?...

Come to think of it---it's no wonder that "professional wrestling" and "American freedom" go so well together... very "professional", and very "free".

Wake up to find out our government has basically blocked 'adult content' on the internet under the guise of 'protect the children'.

Except there's no actual real set term on what that means so I'm locked out of a bunch of communities for stuff like gaming on discord because it now wants a photograph of my face and my ID to let me in. Absolute horse bollocks.

Can a VPN solve the issue?

Yes.
But protections have always been hinky, I had to verify my age with my phone network to browse this forum at one stage a few years ago.

I'm actually for the enforcing the over 18 for the pr0n because kids are getting so fhcked up ideas of what is supposed to go on in the bedroom with such easy access to it, but as Maark says, it will be a bit of a shambles for a while until it gets levelled out

He rips open his shirt, and there's just a huge piece of shit abyss of shit there, bulging, flexing, hulking out to body slam reality... waving the US flag, a role model for myriad bellicose patriotic toddlers.

The prawns, the oysters, and the Mousseline... why don't the priests turn the Body of Go* into those? Too much temptation?

Why would Go* have banned eating shellfish? Obviously, because Go* is a lobster....

But sweet baby Jesus brought the New Covenant, and told people they can now eat shellfish... and they called him Savior.

And said, "Eat my body." Thus, since Go* is (a) shell(game)fish, they ought to be eating shellfish.

Though I'd suppose most Catholic priests are more into tight buns... and big baguettes.

Goddamn prostate making feel I got the clap! Dr put me of Tamsulsin 3 months ago and I feel so much better. Idk if it’s enlarged or was just inflamed but my last attack left me with a red bruise from my right nut to exit hole. I won’t let him stick his finger up said exit hole to check.

Would you rather die than let a male doctor stick his finger up your butt? Would it help if he were a hot woman? Or a robot? Maybe if they gave you general anesthesia first?...

Of course I hope you end up being okay. Though we'll all end up dead eventually (probably... even if we become cyborgs, or AI distillations... though information may be indestructible, as it is in our best current theories of physics).

Apologies I could have sworn I put skin before cancer.

Stifler was a cool cat but he can get all the “professional assistance” he can take. I ll pass on it while I have a choice unless I would start seeing blood.

Ugh. Internet woes at the cottage. I know, First World problems....but still.

Previously, we have used Bell (their towers are closest to the cottage), and since we are generally only at the cottage in the summer months, we pause the service for the rest of the year. This has not been an issue for the last 5 years or so. All of the sudden this year Bell cut off the service entirely, and then claimed (when we called to reactivate it this year) that no such pause of service deal existed. And that if we wanted service back we would have to go with a new plan (which conveniently would not be grandfathered to the cost it used to be...because of course, Bell are the devil) which costs more for the exact same (not great, but serviceable) internet for a cottage on a lake in the boonies. So we decided to give Rogers (another telecom in Canada) a try instead. Bell could only offer 10mg download (like that's abysmal; my home internet is 150mgs download)...but Rogers claimed they could give us 150-200mgs a the cottage. I was a little skeptical as that seemed fast for the location, but they promised that's what their towers could deliver (note: I was already aware that their towers are further away than the Bell ones, so call me EXTRA skeptical)...so we tried it out. Once I got it hooked up (there is spotty cell service up there and their instructions are based around a QR code online setup...so that was fucking fun to navigate....) I then ran a few speedtests over the course of the evening and was getting around 1.6mgs download...like a google search took about 3 minutes to pop up...like 90's dial up slow...Bell was weak, but not anywhere NEAR this bad. AND it was pinging a tower that was hell and gone from the cottage region. So We told them this, and they claimed we need to shift it to another spot in the cottage...MFer you think I'm going to buy that we will go from 1.6mgs download to your proposed 150-200mg download by just MOVING it inside the cottage to get a better signal? Do you assume I'm stupid sir?

Anyways, the locals in the town nearby all use Starlink, but my wife's siblings who we share the cost with, didn't want to front the $500 for hardware you need to get started for that hookup (also Fuck Elon Musk), so we are probably going to have to go back to Bell.

What an irritating rigamarole all due to the fact that Bell "cancelled" the service so they could move us off a grandfathered plan so they could charge us more...we need the service because all the adults (barring myself) do WFH on their computers and need access when they are on vacation at the cottage. Otherwise we would not bother.

Secondary Groove problem.

I have a co-worker. He was hired during covid to fill the spot of an employee who left. I probably interact with the people who do his same job maybe 25% of the time. When he was first around we realized that he was into some of the stuff I was into (TV, movies), and even though he's probably 10-12 years older than me we got along. He would come by and chat with me. Tell jokes. Be silly. Laugh ect. He CAN, however, occasionally be a lot to take and has been known to tell somewhat sexist jokes, and rowdy stories. I would not likely be friends with him outside work for these reasons. But as a co-worker who I generally got along with, it was fine.

Fast forward to just before Xmas last year and I had bought my new house and was moving to the town he actually lives in. Now, I keep my work life and home life separate on purpose. I have some of the co-workers on my cell phone for job reasons, not usually social ones. I have also been here 15 years and have worked with some of those people that long and have developed deeper friendships with them that might occasionally result in a text message outside work socially. But nothing more. This dude, as we are leaving for the Xmas holidays randomly says "Hey, do you want my phone number now that you live in my town, in case you need anything, or a ride or anything (I didn't have a car at the time)?"...and my general anxiety disorder kicked in at the prospect of interacting with a co-worker outside work in that capacity and I said "No thanks" and then laughed it off a bit, and then he gave me a weird look so I leaned into the "make a joke of it" aspect to rip on him and say "I don't want you randomly calling me...hahaha"...and his mood went icy and he said "Let's make that a permanent thing then." and bolted by me and went to his car.


Now the first comment (that I didn't want his number) I don't feel is offsides. The second comment when my anxiety kicked and made me make a poor joke could be construed as rude seeing as he thought he was doing a solid. My wife confirmed this for me at home. She said "just tell him what happened and apologize for that part". So IO planned to do this. Though my sister in law later said that if I was the opposite gender then no one would question my reaction to someone randomly offering me their phone number and me turning it down and awkwardly joking. And I feel that's true, and the pariacrhy basically means I have to accept it as a dude from another due that he's upset...so that sucks.


Anyways, when we came back from holiday I walked right up to him and said "Hey man, about what happened before the holiday. I have diagnosed general anxiety disorder, and I had a poor reaction and made a poor joke to cover it. That was rude, and I am truly sorry."...he eyeballed me, shook my hand and walked off. That was in January. My wife said time heals all wounds, but this man (who is in his late 50's mind you) has been icy to me ever since. He will interact with me on a business level if he needs to and he's normalish, when we do...but al business. But any semblance of the joking around that he used to behave like and still does around everyone else is gone and he's frosty even saying hello when I pass him in the halls.

I'm baffled that the grudge is hanging around. I apologized in a heartfelt way the first day back after the incident, and I explained that it was not him but me and my anxiety that caused it.....but somehow none of that is enough.

I do not understand the level of upset you need to have to old onto such a strange grudge with a co-worker over a momentary thing...having to do with me turning down your phone number for social interactions behind the scope of work...did I do anything wrong in my apology or behaviour after? I don't get it.
