I say this as a soccer fan, but I hope this world cup is a fucking disaster so blatant that it’s impossible to lie about (because you know Trump will). With Trump it’ll be another first term inaugeration “biggest crowds” ever moment.

FIFA deserves whatever shit it gets from its blatant cock-stroking. Fuck 'em.

French with English subtitles.

Technically Canada had one. But it was Quebecois. So never really aired outside the province I don’t think.

I see they’ve cast Smaug in the highschool production of the Hobbit.

Because Iran came up with the idea of having ships pay a toll to cross. Trump said “Hey…I want some of that” and Iran told him to pound sand. So now Iran is blockading anyone who doesn’t pay their toll and is civil to them, and Trump is (threatening to) blockade anyone who does, purely out of spite.

Yes…our reality really is that stupid.

“Intimate” is a completely subjective term. Some people, like it or not, don’t consider nudity to be intimate and are therefore more than happy to use it to their advantage. Just because you wouldn’t, doesn’t make you the arbiter or what is or isn’t considered intimate.

So, as you say “Clearly being the more preferable job” is a meaningless statement. A vegan wouldn’t rent out their body to work in a slaughterhouse. A pacifist wouldn’t rent out their body to the military. Just because you wouldn’t rent out your body for people to enjoy on the internet doesn’t make it objectively worse than any other profession. It’s just your perspective.

I’m not saying that there aren’t issues in the porn industry. Of course there are, tonnes of them. But renting out your body to perform manual labour or renting out your body for people to look at on the internet are not as different as you think.

if someone has to grant access to their body, under threat of starvation or homelessness

But that’s employment in a nutshell, though. A welder rents out his body to a company to weld steel beams for 8 hours a day. An accountant rents out their body to sit behind a desk for 8 hours a day and crunch numbers. A salesperson rents out their body to cold-call for 8 hours a day.

No matter what, we’re coerced into giving or body to perform someone else’s labour. The fact that it doesn’t always involve nudity doesn’t change anything vis a vis your bodily autonomy.

There already is a word that encompasses it, “Queer”.

The only people that generally want to keep adding more letters to the acronym are so-called “Allies” and not members of those groups themselves. Most members of those groups (in my experience) are more than happy to call themselves Queer and then give you a funny look when you start talking gibberish.

IIRC, it’s also one of the best ways to test for forged paintings, because paint after WW2 is affected by the same minute traces of background radiation that the real deal painted a few hundred years ago wouldn’t have.

And if you look really close on the right hand side, you can just make out the disturbed ground surrounding the entrance to the underground Chinese base.

Its the entire reason they did a full orbit before firing the lunar injection burn, so that if something was wrong they could jettison the service module and perform a deorbit burn for an early splashdown in the pacific.

Please don’t let it be cancelled and returned early because of a toilet That would just be too much. This is the first thing that has made me legitimately excited since having to unexpectedly say goodbye to my soul-dog last month. I need this, dammit.

Living on my own, the older I get, the less I have any interest in proper meals. More often than not, I’ll do small snackish meals spread out over the day; a bowl of meat and cheese, or a plate of veggies, or some cottage cheese and yogurt. Stuff like that.

I can’t be the only one for whom traditional meals (protein, side, veggies, three times a day) have gone by the wayside.

ETA: Forgot to mention, that bowl looks incredibly delicious, OP.

Agreed. I rewatched it recently and I enjoyed it a little bit more than I did before. But it’s still pretty bland.

You see, when a mommy and daddy love each other very much…

Last Wednesday. We regularly go out to a local pub for trivia night and converse face to face there.

Nobody seduced these chucklefucks into anything.

On behalf of Israel, Epstein and Maxwell honey-potted Trump and a bunch of other republicans, filmed them all kiddie-fucking so that Israel could say “Hey…you do what we say now, or else”.

It wasn’t a seduction. It was an order.

The researchers aren’t sure what the long-term effects of exposure might be

I have a vague idea…

Sharks in the Bahamas Are Full of Cocaine, Caffeine, and Painkillers

Sounds like the beginning of a pretty good night out.

They look like they missed their chance at carrying out a school shooting and now they’re hoping to make up for lost time.
