I have several friends and acquaintances in the hospitality industry and I'm a former service worker myself.

I am INCREDIBLY FUCKING LIVID right now.

Of course a "child protection" firm just happens has a stash of kiddie porn.

This is perfectly normal.

When we sat down to play Plague Inc. I thought we were going to do Virus, not Neurax Worm.

Decide to create two of the specialest snowflakes. Make them identical.

Good job.

If it takes you longer than you said it would, you're shit at your job, but if you get it done in a fraction of the time you claimed, you're a hero and obviously they don't pay you enough.

As a former retail computer repair guy, one of the quotable bits of wisdom I have in common with an engineer friend is this: "Whenever you get or give an estimate of money or time, double it. Then double it again. If you don't, someone is going to be disappointed."

I once went to a viewing of Escher's artwork. Of course I also took in the other things the gallery was running at the same time, from old favorites to artists I'd never heard of before and now enjoy like Piranesi to artists I'd never heard of before and will never hear of again.

A few things really stuck out. At one point, I was sitting on a bench with an elderly couple each twice my age to one side and a young mother with a small child to the other. We were all enjoying the same thing. (Admittedly, it was "What's Opera, Doc?" as part of the exhibit on the art of Termite Terrace, but it's something I'd not experienced before or since, sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with such different people to enjoy a brief matinee before continuing our respective walks.)

But anyway, the Escher exhibit: Not only did I see stuff of his that doesn't get much play - like The Drowned Cathedral -but I had quite the shock. I was standing close enough to Circle Limit IV to fog the glass with a good exhale. I'd seen JPGs before so I knew the piece, but both the size of it (it's bigger than you likely think - an inverse Mona Lisa) and the fine detail surprised me. For instance, Escher drew white eye-dots on many of the smaller demons along the circumference. Dozens and dozens, each so small that in that JPG they're little more than white noise. And they all have eyes. It was an experience I will remember for quite some time.

In summary: Get the fuck off the sofa and go live a bit.

Yes, well, the alternative is admitting to having a stash of child abuse images. Either because it gets them off watching children being hurt or because it gets them off to use the images to hurt other people. Either way it's profoundly fucked up.

puts you in the position of having to argue against them saying "so wowww you really like pictures of half naked 16 year olds huh".

If pictures of half-naked 16 year olds are evil, what does that make the vast supply of CP they have to dump in a subreddit they want to purge?

This is the one that called Trump a dictator, right? I'm not misremembering that?

It's always projection. Every last insult, every single time.

Ah, what's wrong, Colonel? Did you think you were safe in the NKVD as long as you kept bringing pretty girls in for Lavrentiy Beria to rape?

When will they end this stupidity of children transitioning.

Once they've recruited them all.

Fun fact, the last name of the guy who played Jonathan Archer on Star Trek Enterprise sounds exactly like a synonym for penis bones.

Why did reddit let it go on for so long?

You might not want to be so quick to past-tense that.

Can you be a lolcow with a 50-some page thread AND a farmer at the same time?

And, if you'll forgive the Reddit link: https://v.redd.it/p8js3k2g7mj61

When I was younger, these were the kind of loons your enemy publicized to make you look bad by association. Now, it's just the status fucking quo.

What is going on?

Reddit is boldly defending one of their ex-politician staffers from the depredations of the evil incel manlets who want to doxx her by doing things like saying her name or linking the evil news articles showing how she's surrounded herself with Minor Attracted Persons (TM), which is a perfectly respectable alternate sexuality even if you need to chain a ten-year-old in your attic rape room to express it.

Obviously, this is the real cancel culture.

(Do I need a /s? Lordy, I hope I not.)

How much further left is there than being involved with Vaush?
