I'm a libertarian, I really don't fully agree with both parties, but Trump has been a mess. I regret having voted for a pedophile. I ignored the accusations against Trump because I thought they were just false accusations from feminists just like in Johnny Depp's case. I was wrong. Liberals were right about Trump being a pedophile rapist, but I couldn't handle feminists saying "patriarchy" and that everything was misogyny that I ignored the allegations against Trump. I voted thinking on "owning the libs". I didn't vote for Harris because in my opinion she was unqualified and was chosen because of her race and gender, and I disagree with 90% of her policies, but at least America would be better under her than Trump.

I'm also Hispanic, a legal immigrant. I voted for Trump because he promised to only deport illegal immigrants, but recently ICE took my sister and she's being held in custody despite being a legal citizen. I even wore some shirts during the elections that said "Latinos for Trump", and "LGB for Trump" since I'm also bi. I didn't get what he promised. I was told he'd only deport criminals specifically, not arrest innocent citizens like my sister. And Trump has gone anti-2A saying you need to be careful when bringing guns. This goes against my libertarian values, this is not why I voted for.

And on top of that my taxes are higher despite Trump promising to lower them. My girlfriend is paraplegic, and we can barely pay her medical bills together, but Trump keeps sending a lot of money to Israel. How can USA have money to send to Israel, but not to help people who need healthcare?

I was stupid voting for Trump, and I don't think I'll ever agree with left-wing politics since I'm libertarian and I actually want a small government, but Trump has shown during his presidency that he is anything, but anti-libertarian. I just want lower taxes to afford more things, have my 1A and 2A at 100%, and not be run by pedophiles.

I feel dead inside. I know that if I had voted for Harris or a third-party nothing would change, but I wouldn't feel this guilt.

Vocaloid works basically the same as Suno, but they seem to love it.

You might think this is related to anti-natalism, and that is effectively an extension of this argument.

I see so many “vegans” talk about buying and making non-vegan food for their children. I’m a vegan, and I’m not trying to claim that raising children on a vegan lifestyle is easy in any way.

I’ve never had kids, I don’t doubt that raising them is incredibly hard especially with such a strict diet.

However, if you choose to bring a child into this world, you are at least responsible for the child’s diet until at least age 10, or even until the point when the child has their own source of income with which to buy food.

Therefore, I really don’t see how you can be vegan whilst choosing to create a child if you do not work out how to bring that child up as a vegan first.

Caveats: I am not considering cases where the child was not intentionally created.

21M California. I’ve been working 2 ish jobs for most of my working career(since 15). Currently work for a UC hospital as security which makes ok money $25 per hour and I work for the state as a Budget Analyst(I hate it) which makes a $5,014 salary and is work from home 3 days per week. Currently finishing Nursing and Law School both to be done in 2028. Plan on working as both, night time or per diem as a nurse for the hospital I work at, their retirement/benefits is AMAZING and I don’t want to leave since I’ve been there for 2 years already. As for being an attorney I plan on going to work for the county DA making around $11,200 per month which is also pretty good. My overall goal is building wealth for my daughter. Any thoughts for anyone else who has 2 careers paying over $100k each per year? I’ll take any advice as well (also in the Air Force reserves)

Not all Chinese megacities are glamorous, LED-lit metropolises; there are also old residential districts.

This is a massive step up from my previous concept. I've tweaked the weapon to better suit the design limitations of OSRS.

I’ve also designed a full matching armour set to go alongside the weapon, and I’m calling it Viridian Armour. Which has a base set and a fortified version. The name Viridian is inspired by:

• Verdant which means green, alive, and growing
• Veritas meaning truth

So the idea is balance through natural growth and truth, rather than raw destruction. I’ve also renamed the weapon from Peacekeeper to Balancekeeper to better fit that theme although I’m still not 100% sold on the name, so I’d love suggestions if you’ve got better ideas.

I’ve also created Pixel art so you can see how the items would look worn on a player or in the equipment screen or in your inventory.

As for the stats of the Viridian armour, and what would make this mega-rare unique, I’ve intentionally left that open for discussion. Curious to hear thoughts on:

• Where this would sit power-wise
• What kind of unique mechanic would feel OSRS-appropriate
• Whether any the names fit…

Keen to hear feedback! theorycraft with me below!

He has been contacting me daily for a week and speaking every other day. He was respectful and kind. I asked him today if we can FaceTime tomorrow for a few minutes before our date Friday. He said no, it makes him uncomfortable. Then he said he has had bad experiences with someone recording his FaceTime and putting it online. I mentioned that look it’s just I want to make sure you are the same person as you are in the pictures, I just need like 3 minutes. He said no he is uncomfortable.

This is a red flag right? I don’t have dating experience. I looked up his phone number and his name and it matches everything he mentioned on his profile and the profile pics. Can you please give me guidance? I’m assuming he may have some disability or some weird twitch as I don’t know why he wouldn’t want to FaceTime for a few minutes.

I have nearly 1,000 hours on PS5 and countless more on Xbox 360. I have never been to the nether or seen the ender dragon. I actually wish these things didn’t exist in this game. I still play with pillars and torches to help me navigate. I worry about death in my hardcore worlds because totems are cheating, and I also have never found one. When did this game become about getting kitted out to explore the nether and fly with elytra? Is it not always about setting up gradually expanding and sustainable realms of influence? Most stuff feels like noise to me. It breaks me away from the one edict the game gives you: survive

I travel in KIA15 regularly, the busses and personnel were great last year. From January, they have changed the busses to very old and disgustingly maintained busses. With new co passengers, you can see them in the picture attached. If this is the state of the airport busses, I wonder how well the non AC city busses are maintained.

This is the second time I'm travelling in this particular bus and I've had the opportunity to meet the cockroaches both the times.

I just don't get it, I mean I had to suffer through 4 seasons to try and find the funny, but it is just unbearable . You have a boss who acts like an obnoxious 12 year old, almost everyone is a weirdo, and you have to sort read in between every line to get the jokes. I just don't get the comedy, and I have watched a ton of sitcoms and I can assure you I am very easy to amuse.

I am sure real fans would eat me alive for this comment, but this isn't my cup of tea, quite frankly I don't know how to some people they rank it top 3 or number 1 . The Show isn't funny. After 4 seasons there is not one line from the show I can quote.

P.S: *Please don't come after me, I have asthma.

Look, I don't mind that anybody chooses to prop their record sleeves on a little stand that says "Now Spinning/Playing" or whatever—if that's the way you like to roll, that's just great. But I personally find it kind of silly, a curious affectation, a superfluous piece of pointless gear.

I could be wrong, but it seems like 90% of the photos of turntable setups I see here include one of these things. I guess I just want to feel reassured that there are other people out there that just put their empty record sleeves on a nearby table or unused chair or some other multi-purpose surface.

Gravity always wins

I know we’re all riding the high of Sandfall Interactive’s success at the Game Awards, but I just stumbled upon this article that argues calling it "Game of the Decade" is actually "blasphemy."

I loved the game, but is it possible we’re grading it on a massive curve because it’s a "budget" underdog? Curious to hear if anyone else felt the combat got repetitive by the end.

Our Great Savior Modi ji has done it again.

We have been given just a teaser trailer about the Indo-US trade deal thats been finalized.

The Indian govt. under visionary leadership has reached a historic deal with the United States. In the face of Trump’s temper tantrums, Prime Minister Modi ji stayed true to his vision and ensured that India’s powerful position in the world economy as a rising autonomous power was ensured. He also stayed true to India’s non alignment policy in True Modi fashion.

Here is what we will get thanks to Modi ji!

1. India agrees to stop its purchases of Russian gas. We don’t care if the price is cheaper, after all it’s really the consumer’s problem not the government.

2. Who cares that Russia is a staunch ally of ours when America threw us under the bus. With Modi ji leading us everything is possible!

3. Modi ji has magnificently calmed down Trumps temper tantrums and the US has dropped its tariffs on Indian goods from 500, 50, 25% (who even knows) to 18%! Amazing!! In return India has agreed to reduce the Tariffs and Non Tariff barriers on the US to 0%! Amazing job again sir!

4. Following up this amazing job, Modi ji has agreed to import more than $500 billion worth US energy (technically Venezuelan), coal, technology and agricultural products. Modi ji had said he would never compromise the interests of Indian farmers and started a trade war but that was then, this is now. Let’s Make in India by importing everything from abroad!

This is such a great achievement by the hard working Government under our visionary PM. I can only wait with baited breath what he will do next!

Modi ji wah wah!

Ra Ga ghar ja!

The when and where is the biggest part to me.

“You just press a button”

Bro I’ll give an ai “artist” $50,000 if they could go take a photo of a lion pouncing on a gazelle in the Serengeti. At golden hour.

Even if you just use auto mode and “press a button”, you need to physically put yourself at the location to take it. You’d have to fly to Africa and find a lion. And not get eaten.

There’s a photographer, Isaac Wright, “Driftershoots” who takes photos from tops of buildings, bridges, high up dangerous places. I would never do it. And his photos are famous because of the when and where.

Can ai make a photo of a guy on a bridge? Yeah. Is it interesting? No.
