Good enough buddy thanks for the help

The RIAA was suing teenagers. We had to sit through ⬇️ this shit anytime we wanted to watch a DVD. A whole generation shamed for using Limewire and torrents. Only for these silicone valley assholes to now find copyright infringement a necessary evil they shouldn’t have to answer for

A kind donor to my Extra Life has said they'd like me to hand out two discount codes for BBotE that are good for the rest of the year to folks. So, the first two replies to this post to call dibs and will claim them.

And, heck, check out my page while you're at it.

My kid's school had put up a wishlist. This isn't a rich area, lots of families here rely on WIC and jobs at the Navy shipyard, which means the government shutdown is really going to hurt. These snacks are easy to hand to kids at the end of the day or before a weekend www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Check out my list on Amazon

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

More in the comments because it won’t fit into these post limits.

This, plus doing two other things, has nearly eliminated most of my problems.

The Arch-Emily's
eczema calming remedy tea.

Black Oolong tea.
(1 to 1.5 teaspoons or 1.5 to 2 grams) I use Vietnamese Mountain Oolong

Raw unfiltered honey.

One 16oz / 473ml container (I use a mason jar)

Makes two days servings.

Fill container with water. Place tea bag or steep bag or container inside. Seal container. Let stand for 12 to 24hrs. Remove tea bag/steeper.

Add honey to taste. SHAKE container until honey is dissolved. Store in refrigerator.

Drink 1/2 of the container (8oz 225ml) everyday.

What if you Sorcerer’s Apprenticed him into little bits, would it make a bunch of tiny Wolverines?
