The issue is the merging of two different kinds of silicone. Silicone in itself doesn’t like other silicones and the harder ones tend to “melt” the softer ones (in reality the polymer chains interact and cause migration, which deforms the softer object as it will have higher plasticity).
You could make a hard silicone dildo with soft silicone balls but most likely you’d end up with the ballsack tearing off in a play-doh consistency mess within a few weeks of manufacturing.
I never really had a good relationship with my parents. I’m a first child, so they were literally learning the ropes with me, and being neurodivergent without appropriate early diagnosis and treatment… there was some major disconnect. Sure I was a “gifted” kid, but at every step they tried to force their own vision onto me, and thanks to that disconnect, I never had that truly supporting parentage. It was a constant barrage of high expectations with major punishments outlined if I didn’t meet those, and given the disconnect, the only time I felt “loved” was when they’d provide me with certain things - but all those things were tied to expectations.
A great example for this is my first computer. I needed one, for studies, for chasing my own interests, and finally I was allowed to buy one from my own money at the end of 8th grade, if my graduation average was above a specific (incredibly high, think 16-18 subjects, graded 1 to 5 where 5 is best, my average had to be above 4.5), and if I managed to get certified in my chosen secondary language at a B level (A is conversational, B is professional/daily, C is for official translation work).
This plus my parents rarely expressing emotions beyond anger was… not exactly helpful in my emotional development.
Now, after a decade of living abroad, I’m trying to close that gap, but it’s not easy. My mother… I get along with her much better, but she’s got tons of trauma she refuses to see a therapist about, and instead is working herself to death in her 50s. The worst part is I can’t even talk her out of it, and both my brothers are blind to it.
My father is the harder nut to crack. He’s gone down the alt-right slide about ten years ago, and this intelligent man I grew up admiring has gone incredibly racist, xenophobic, illogical, in constant support of a kleptocratic government that literally took away all his savings and pension and is now giving him a pittance…
All in all it’s not easy but I’m doing my best to build a passable relationship with them.
They banned all AI regulations unless it affects MAGA detrimentally
At the time, “everyone knew” that it was the speculators on Wall Street who’ve caused it.
Now, how much truth is there to that - when in reality we know that a bunch of things contributed in a major way, like the Smoot-Hawley tariff (doesn’t that sound familiar?), gold standard policy fuckery, and so on - doesn’t matter. What matters from this perspective is that the people at the time didn’t blame each other. There wasn’t really a major political division that could or would be blamed.
This is a stark contrast with today’s situation where 1/3 to 2/3 of the country is directly responsible for electing the orange turdsack who caused the crash (depending on if you blame those who didn’t bother to vote).
No, your honour, we did not use the porn downloaded to train our AI, at least not directly.
The people working on training the AI? Oh, the definitely had a cheeky wank here and there after a stressful day! This just shows how committed Meta is to the wellbeing of our employees.
Europe On Line? EOL? End of line.
Jokes have that pesky requisite of, you know, being funny. Your statement can’t be asserted as such in any manner.
If you believe that every corporation is run by China then you’re seriously delirious.
The GD had a somewhat clear culprit. It didn’t hang on half the country voting in the cunt who ended up causing the recession, there was a very distinct group that was removed enough from the average people so they could cooperate.
Today? MAGA is solely responsible for this crash, and the whole country knows it. Anyone left of MAGA, who didn’t vote for the orange clown, will NOT help MAGA. Those who cooked the stew shall eat it, and all. And I can’t say it won’t be deserved.
Can hang whoever runs the corporation, though.
Wanna bet that there would be immediate police action arresting people for “credible threat to people’s lives”?
Patron-funded news doesn’t work in the combination of post-scarcity news (i.e. when anyone can have a platform because there’s no limit to entry, like owning a printing press) and economic recession where people’s disposable income drops sharply.
Even the first point is enough to kill all but the largest patron-funded news services. The two combined? Guaranteed death sentence.
Guess Conservapedia wasn’t conservative enough.
Tried working out in loose underwear once. My balls were sagging 10 minutes in, and at one point managed to slam them right into my thigh during a spin.
It was worse than being kicked in the nuts.
A man, or an ass?
For the latter I recommend the zoo.
But technically you’ve already stolen the NFT by taking a photo of it! THIEF!
Something something ain’t no rest for the wicked
To be fair, Garry’s Mod is up there too.
The amount of customisation that one “small project” opened up in general, is astonishing.
Sounds like a challenging wank, no?
