Battling anything is built of two parts, making it immoral, and making it illegal. Making it illegal makes it easier to argue that it’s immoral, because many people take cues for their morality from legality, but if you want to keep it illegal you have to maintain the cultural belief in its immorality. Each reinforces the other.
I’ll start using self-checkout when they start paying me to work at their store as a cashier, though not if they’re going to have cameras showing me myself doing it. That costs extra.
‘Slow-burn’ media requires the audience to pay attention. You can’t build narrative tension on the second screen.
Dickins is an archaic term for the devil, as in ‘what in the dickins name is going on here?’ oft shortened to ‘what the dickins?’ So… tiefling name?
Something happening frequently doesn’t make it a good thing.
I always hated that question because it’s basically asking you to lie. We should be punishing liars, not rewarding them.
Fab (fahb) because you’re like Fabio but narrower. Also, you can make puns about how being Fab’d off is a good thing.
The First Mover Advantage is not exclusive to social media. It’s inherent to life in scarcity. First to run to the feast gets the pick of the food. First to run from the tiger has the most targets between the tiger and their bum. First company to sell a thingle gets 100% of the market until a competitor arrives, including 100% name recognition, 100% network dominance, etc.
Prompt says you’re being chased but nothing about the quality of the chase. I like the image of the predator being obligated to chase them but feeling kind of ashamed of it so they don’t really want to get the kill.
Hunted: ‘*puff, wheeze* Just… gotta… get to the top… of the hill.’ Predator: *walks calmly up to just behind the hunted and makes a predator noise, then sits to wait for them to scramble the rest of the way up while the predator plays space-solitaire*
Did the math on this when it was posted previously. No one is anywhere near 10000 hours.
I’d never invite myself because I’d be lost in something at home, so I’d never meet me.
Enjoy. Always good to spread the word on artists who don’t get a lot of promotion.

It would certainly cut down on those pesky cost-of-living expenses.
Mostly just subjects I don’t have any interest in, such as football, F1, etc.
Grausame Töchter is loads of fun, and I’ve enjoyed some of the others.
Twins in Fear has done some work with Aranea of Grausame Töchter.
Also check out Vampyros Lesbos.

Thought the one on the right was someone related to Trudeau for a moment.
If people had the kind of relationships where they could have the trust necessary to show that kind of vulnerability, they probably wouldn’t be feeling the need to self-isolate. Sometimes, the reason you self-isolate is, you don’t have anyone you trust enough to share your problems.
The high level view of ‘copying’ is purely abstracted, and not very useful. It’s a layperson’s understanding. Copy A and call it B makes a thing called B that contains the same data as A. Anything deeper than that will be completely language dependent. Whether a copy is a copy or a reference depends on language and implementation.
Unless you mean how data physically is copied/recalled at the hardware level… that’s language agnostic and happens in mostly just a few ways.
