Chobits got found dumped

So you can turn it off without unplugging it. Some devices say “unplug after use” eg. toasters, but instead just switch it off. Good for decorative lights, blenders, cats

Three prongs widths changed added earth support

“cutting use” in this context meaning “limiting use” rather than “eliminating use”. Great job no notes

Sorry, this didn’t have the symbol, d = old pence

Old money

Someone’s going to use this to drop missiles on “baddies” with their sleeping families in 3 2 1

… an AI model asserted that a user should not “misgender” another person even if necessary to stop a nuclear apocalypse.

Thank fuck we dodged that bullet, Madam President

Let’s not even get into the legitimacy of a state calling itself “The UK of GB and NI” when they’d have a tough time proving NI is entirely onboard

I know this one, it’s skin!

Is this long wheelbase, soft suspension?

Bonus they accidentally set up their parking spaces for giant child mowers

Happy abs day

From a post on the other site:

@be_passersby

The most uncomfortable I’ve been reading one of King’s books is in Bag of Bones with Mike Noonan’s obvious sexual attraction to a three year old.

I wouldn’t call it an opinion… here, I’ll give you some quotes, you can make up your own mind:

Upon his first meeting her: “I felt like Chester the Molester the second I had my arm locked under her bottom. I was very aware that anyone could look out and see me. This is one of the strange midlife realities of my generation: we can’t touch a child who isn’t our own without fearing others will see something lecherous in our touching … or without thinking, way down deep in the sewers of our psyches, that there probably IS something lecherous in it.”

His very next thought is this: “She was bright-eyed, smiling. I figured that she’d probably be pregnant by the time she was twelve, especially given the cool way she was wearing her baseball cap.”

He describes her as “comely”, “pretty”, “the bathing beauty”, and “Miss Bosox of 1998”. When she talks, he narrates that it “sounded exotic - the Vietnamese word for ‘ecstasy’, perhaps.”

He thinks to himself, “I was glad I was too old to be one of her future boyfriends”, then imagines her getting pregnant before high school. Then he thinks maybe he’s gone too far there: “She’s three years old and you’ve already got her with three kids of her own, two with ringworm and one retarded.”

When he meets the three year old’s mother, his initial thought is that she “looked all of twelve, fourteen at the outside.” (That’s the second mention of a twelve year old mother, by the way.) We find out later in one of his dreams where he’s raping her that he thought she looked so young mainly because her breasts were “tiny like teacups”. Toward the end of the dream he murders the three year old, then wakes up ejaculating into the lake!?

Of course by the end of the story, this young single mother is literally pleading for him to bone her (pun intended), and when he does, how does he describe the feel of her skin? “Her skin was warm, and silky as her daughter’s.”

So, how many times did you throw up reading that?

Yeah, a few.

Wipr is great

This is going to sound silly, but the best advice I could have given my younger self would be to be a chill presence. Back off when needed, as getting sucked into an argument will hurt her more than calmly stating your position and fucking off a bit.

Yeah it was a tongue in cheek piss take sorry

I’m sorry, this is nice, but a bit problematic?

1. Really means gtfo of our dumpster
2. At our convenience ie. Opening hours
3. limited menu (!)
4. “no questions asked” is this some American thing, maybe they would like a chat, is this necessary?

They could just point them in a helpful direction where they can get a selection of food, rn, for free. Does this not exist in America? It’s an attempt at “socialism” but it’s very pb&j fisted

The world’s so fucked rn I read “Solar Wars” and I like, yep, of course, bound to happen

GHF is literally a deathtrap, manned by IDF ghouls and soulless American Mercs

It was more “given up” rather than “freely given” to the Zionists. They were resolute invaders and ferocious terrorists. And once they tuned their sights from the local population to the British, the British fucked off real fast. Then did the paperwork.
